Covering high school sports in Tacoma, Pierce County and the South Sound.

The results from the state cross country meet at Sun Willows Golf Course are in. Here's what happened:

-- Gig Harbor missed winning an unprecedent fourth straight Class 4A girls state title by one point. Eastlake edged the Tides 96-97. It wasn't all bad for Gig Harbor, Alyssa Andrews won the individual title by a whopping 20 seconds.

-- Central Kitsap's Shane Moskowitz took second place in the 4A boys race with a time of 15:21. Redmond's Mack Young edged him for first by three seconds.

-- One South Sound schools won two team championships. Northwest Christian of Lacey claimed titles in the boys and girls Class B races. It's the third straight state title for the Navigator girls.

-- Charles Wright's boys took second in the Class 1A race.

-- You can find all the results here.

Like the title of this post says, it is a big weekend for prep sports. We have the preliminary round of the state football playoffs; district tournaments for girls soccer and volleyball; district swimming meet; and the state finals for the boys water polo tournament.

The Sunday sports section will be loaded with coverage of all these sports. If you don't want to wait, you can find results from these events at our prep sports database.

Three months ago, who saw saw this Lakes team, with only three returning starters, going undefeated and returing to the Class 3A state playoffs as a No. 1 seed?

The Lancers, that's who.

This junior-loaded Lakes team is back in the playoffs, primed to make a deep postseason run. The Lancers are balanced -- they run and pass well -- and boast solid offensive and defensive lines. Lakes made quick work of Olympic on Friday, winning 44-7.

Play of the game: Watch receiver Jamaal Kearse get his feet in-bounds when he pulls down a touchdown pass in the back of the end zone at 1:08 in the clip. Very impressive.
