Lake Stevens 34, Bellevue 31
BELLEVUE — The Vikings somehow found a way to overcome a 21-point deficit against one of the top programs in the state in their non-league victory over the Wolverines.
Lake Stevens trailed 28-7 at halftime. However, led by a heroic effort from quarterback Kolton Matson, the Vikings fought their way all the way back. Matson’s 63-yard pass to Jayshon Limar on a wheel route out of the backfield set up a Matson TD run that gave the Vikings their first lead of the game in the fourth quarter, and it proved to be the decisive blow.
Matson finished with 286 yards and four touchdowns through the air and added a rushing score. Two TD passes went to David Brown, while Paul Varela and Keagan Howard also caught scores for the Vikings (2-0), who have begun their Class 4A state title defense with two impressive victories, following last week’s win against Garfield.
