The Washington high school football season culminates this weekend at Seattle's Husky Stadium.

Six games are scheduled – three on Friday and three on Saturday – to decide the state's best.

The Class 1A final will pit SCAC rivals Royal and Cashmere at 3 p.m. Friday, two months and two days after the top-ranked Knights beat the No. 2 Bulldogs 21-15.

Here's a snapshot of the title game:

CLASS 1A CHAMPIONSHIP

No. 1 Royal (12-0) vs. No. 2 Cashmere (11-1)

Time, site: 3 p.m. Friday, Husky Stadium in Seattle.

Last state championship game berth: Royal 2024, Cashmere 2008.

State championships won: Royal 13 (1996, 2000, 2004, 2005, 2007, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2019, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024), Cashmere (1984, 2008),

Stat leaders: Royal — QB Grant Wardenaar (145-191, 2,429 yards, 39 TDs, 2 ints.), RB Dax Jenks (70 carries, 737 yards, 14 TDs), WR Shea Stevenson (46 catches, 853 yards, 17 TDs), WR Anderson Brown (33 catches, 657 yards, 11 TDs). Cashmere — QB Rylan Hatmaker (155-210, 2,333 yards, 37 TDs, 6 ints.; 29 carries, 223 yards, two TDs), RB Jayce McMahon (31 carries, 321 yards, 5 TDs, RB Jacoby Tait (44 carries, 219 yards, 6 TDs), WR Logan Spies (52 catches, 931 yards, 15 TDs), WR Isaac Zavala (36 catches, 419 yards, 8 TDs).

What to know: The Knights have won five straight and eight of nine Class 1A state championships, and are riding a 47-game winning streak. Cashmere, which lost to the Knights in last year’s semifinals, came closer than anyone to beating Royal on Oct. 3, losing 21-15 in overtime. Each team has shut out six opponents, and the 21 points the Knights scored two months ago was the most Cashmere has given up this season. The Bulldogs have 15 touchdowns (11 returns, 4 defense) when their opponent initiates the action, while the Knights have 11 (2 returns, 9 defense).

Who has the edge: Royal’s new starters are more comfortable than they were when the teams first met two months ago. Cashmere gave the Knights all they could handle in that meeting, and is manned to give them another run. Will the emergence of Jenks, who was playing in just his second game of the season Oct. 3 make the difference?

The pick: Royal 26, Cashmere 17.
