East (6-5) dominated in a 39-0 shutout over Skyline (1-10) in the first round of the 5A playoffs, extending their streak to six straight playoff-opening wins. The Leopards' defense stifled Skyline's offense, allowing no points and sealing the game early. Nasio Otukolo contributed two rushing touchdowns, including a 5-yard score in the third quarter, while Marcus Loertscher was instrumental with a 53-yard interception return for a touchdown and a 43-yard TD reception from Timmy Thao in the fourth quarter. East quickly took control, leading 18-0 by halftime, and never looked back. The Eagles, struggling offensively all season, continued to find no answers against a stout East defense. East moves on to face No. 8 seed Viewmont in the second round.
