The Rugby Washington boys HS season kicks off this weekend.

This remains one of the most competitive high school leagues in the country. Two season ago Budd Bay finished 5-5 in the regular season and then ran through the playoffs to win the state title. Last year, the Rainier Highlanders won a year after being in DII.

This year, the Highlanders are looking to repeat, but any of the seven teams in DI - Budd Bay, Eastside, Liberty, Chuckanut, Rainier, Seattle, or Tacoma could win the state title.

Below, Rainier's Josh Hutchins tells fans how the Highlanders think they can repeat. (If you don't see the embedded video, please refresh the page).

This weeks games are:

Tacoma at Liberty

Chuckanut at Rainier

Budd Bay at Seattle

The DII is also in action:

Northside at Chuckanut II
Kitsap at TriCities
Shelton at Schoolhouse
Kent at Yakima
