“The Scholastic Cup showcases schools that excelled in sportsmanship, academics and in competition achievement for an entire year,” WIAA Executive Director Mike Colbrese said. “This award brings an entire school together as each student-participant contributed to capturing the Association’s highest honor.”

King’s finished with 2,075 points, the all-time highest mark in any classification. The Knights bested second place Lynden Christian (1,005) by 1,070 points.

Northwest Christian (Colbert) and St. George’s had one of the closest finishes in the 2B classification, but it was the Crusaders who narrowly passed the Dragons, 1,315-1,310 to claim their second Cup with four Academic State Championships.
The Crosspoint Academy Warriors won their first Scholastic Cup with a mark of 1,155. The Warriors’ score is the second highest in the 1B classification. Evergreen Lutheran came in second place with 875 points for the schools seventh runner-up finish.

The Scholastic Cup is the WIAA’s most prestigious annual school award. The yearlong competition recognizes the top school in each of the six WIAA classifications based on academic, athletic and sportsmanship excellence. Points are awarded in each of the WIAA/Dairy Farmers of Washington/Les Schwab Tires State Championships and Academic State Championships.
In an ongoing effort to promote sportsmanship, the Association incorporated a component that gives schools 25 points for no more than one student or coach ejection. Schools lose points on a progressive basis for a second, third or fourth varsity player or coach ejection, and are disqualified from the Scholastic Cup if a fifth ejection is received.
