The Lake Washington High School girls' basketball team saw its title hopes come to an end in the 4A semifinals, falling 52-41 to Sumner. This sets up a rematch between Davis and Sumner for the state championship. In the 3A bracket, Bellevue edged Roosevelt 51-47 to reach the title game against Eastside Catholic.
Why it matters
The Lake Washington girls' basketball team was one of the top contenders for the 4A state championship, so their semifinal loss is a disappointing end to their season. The 3A title game between Bellevue and Eastside Catholic will also be a highly anticipated matchup between two of the top teams in that classification.
The details

In the 3A semifinals, Bellevue held off a late rally by Roosevelt to secure their spot in the title game against Eastside Catholic.
- The 4A semifinal game between Lake Washington and Sumner took place on March 9, 2026.
