Gonzaga Prep and Eastside Catholic are at it again.
The state’s premier football programs, combining for 33 state tournament appearances, will play a rematch at Husky Stadium in September. Eastside Catholic won last year’s game, which was then a battle of reigning state champions. G-Prep won the 2015 Class 4A state title while Eastside Catholic won the Class 3A championship.
This fall’s matchup is part of the 14th edition of the WIAA Emerald City Kickoff Classic (ECKC). The event features eight in-state teams beginning at 10 a.m. on Sept. 2. Eastside Catholic and Gonzaga Prep are the nightcap at 7 p.
