4A showdown: Lake Stevens outlasts Graham-Kapowsin in hyped matchup
Graham-Kapowsin kept fighting back but eventually ran out of time.
In a highly anticipated matchup, Lake Stevens emerged victorious over Graham-Kapowsin in a Class 4A football game. Junior defensive end Antoine Griffin III, aware of Graham-Kapowsin quarterback AJ Tuivaiave's preference for deep passing, capitalized on this knowledge during the game. The first half of the contest was largely defensive, as both teams struggled to score in the rain-soaked conditions.
Lake Stevens' Blake Moser, an upcoming Iowa State commit, scored two touchdowns in the opening drive of the third quarter, extending the lead to 25-13. Graham-Kapowsin rallied with a pair of touchdowns, but Lake Stevens sealed the game with a long touchdown drive, ending with a Jay Ferell rushing score. Despite the loss, Graham-Kapowsin players were grateful for the opportunity to face a high-caliber opponent and vowed to use the experience to improve for future games.
