The state quarterfinals continue tonight with two local teams on each side of the state. The first and closest game takes place at Ingersoll Stadium where Capital plays host to Burlington-Edison at 4:00 PM.

Both teams run the ball very well, especially Capital’s Kai Van Sickle who rushed for 350 yards and six touchdowns in last week’s 45-27 win over Lakewood. But not to be outdone, the Tigers rushed for 395 yards as a team including Tyler Morrison’s 211 yards in a 35-21 win over Orting. Burlington-Edison lost three games this season falling to Ferndale (lost to Bellevue last week), Sehome (4-6 on the season) and Lynden (still alive), all on their home field. Capital is 9-2 on the season with losses to two teams still alive in the playoffs, Bellarmine and Tumwater.

ScoreCzar is predicting that Capital will win the contest 30-11. The game can be heard online on Mount Vernon’s KAPS website or 660 AM if you are in Skagit County.

Across the state, the North Thurston Rams travel are forced to travel east again to take on University Prep in Spokane at 5:00 PM. The Rams are 9-2 on the season and are coming off a 35-23 win over Kennewick in Kennewick last Saturday. They take on the 7-4 Titans who started the season at just 2-4 but have won five straight including a surprising 34-6 victory over O’Dea last week.

ScoreCzar expects North Thurston to win 26-11. I have not found a broadcast for the game yet but you can follow The Olympian’s Meg Wochnick on Twitter for updates.

Finally, the Saint Martin’s volleyball team plays their final match of the season when they take on Western Oregon at Marcus Pavilion. The Saints (3-14 GNAC, 6-17 overall) will honor two seniors, Teilissa Tua and Katy Ferguson, playing their last match in a Saint Martin’s uniform.

Game time is scheduled for 7:00 PM.
