John Coombs, Bellevue football

Coombs, a senior, returned an interception 16 yards for a touchdown with 38 seconds remaining, securing a 21-7 victory over O'Dea and an unprecedented third straight Class 3A state championship for Bellevue. The 6-foot-3, 180-pound safety played in all three state-title games.

Julie Zubovic, Bothell basketball

Zubovic, a senior, had a pair of double-doubles as Bothell started the season with victories. The 5-10 forward had 23 points and 12 rebounds against Mount Si, and 22 points and 11 rebounds while shooting 4 of 5 from three-point range against Sammamish.

Redmond boys basketball team

The No. 8 Mustangs, coached by Michael Kelly, opened with a pair of victories last week, beating last year's 3A runner-up Issaquah, 76-56, and No. 7 Shorewood, 47-45. Senior guard Christian Yeager led the way, scoring 35 points against the Eagles and 26, including the winning jumper with eight seconds to play, against the Thunderbirds.
