The Skyline High School football team won the 2008 Washington state Class 4A championship in December. As a reporter for the Sammamish Review, I got to cover the team’s undefeated run to state. Along the way, Skyline played the Newport Knights, of Bellevue.

Running back Joey Evans (23) drags a Newport defender into the end zone for a touchdown. Evans rushed 191 times for 885 yards in 2008. Skyline finished 14-0.
