SEATTLE — Cashmere had one shot Friday to end the greatest run of WIAA championship football ever seen at Gridiron Classic.
The Bulldogs had just marched 92 yards for a touchdown. And with 18 seconds remaining, they decided to go for the win.
And came within inches of getting it.
Wide receiver Isaac Zavala had a streaking Logan Spies open for the win. But Royal got just enough backfield pressure to force a throw that finished wide of the mark, and the five-time defending state champion Knights escaped with a 21-20 victory at Husky Stadium.
With the win, Royal has now won six consecutive Class 1A titles, extending its WIAA record streak.
