North Kitsap's football team earned the chance to host at least two home games in state tournament play after the Vikings earned the No. 3 seed in the Class 2A playoffs.

State seeding committees met Sunday morning to determine brackets for football, girls soccer, boys soccer (2B/1B) and volleyball (1A, 2B/1B).

North Kitsap (9-1) will host No. 14 Fife (7-3) in the first round of the 2A football tournament. In the West Central District playoffs last Friday, the Vikings shut out Renton 53-0, while Fife edged out Bremerton 21-14.

This is the second straight season North Kitsap earned the No. 3 seed at state. The Vikings lost to eventual state champion Lynden, last year's No. 2 seed, in the semifinals. Lynden is No. 1 and W.F. West is No. 2 at state this season.

Olympic (8-2) earned the No. 13 seed in 2A football tournament and will place No. 4 Enumclaw (10-0) on the road in the first round. The Trojans defeated Franklin Pierce 32-14 in the district playoffs.

The day and time for each game will be announced Monday.
