It was the first loss for Federal Way (20-1) since a nonleague loss to Bellevue on Jan. 19, 2015. The Eagles have won back-to-back state championships, the second of which came at the expense of Kentwood in the Tacoma Dome last March.
Kentwood (19-2) plays the winner of the Auburn Riverside-South Kitsap game in the first round of the 4A West Central/Southwest bi-district playoffs on Thursday.
