3A Games to Watch in Week Five

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Rainier @ Yamhill-Carlton (Friday 9/29 @ 7pm)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Yamhill-Carlton, despite the 1-3 start, looks like a potential quarterfinal team. But, if they're going to start 1-3 and finish 5-0 after that like many are talking about, step one is taking down a perennial playoff team in Rainier that, in a similar way to YC, is better than their 1-3 record would suggest.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Players to Watch: Rainier: Angel Becerra (Jr, RB/LB), Derek Katon (Sr, QB/LB), Daunte McGill (WR/DB); Yamhill-Carlton: Kyle Slater (QB/DB), Kaden Sutton (Sr, RB/LB), [player_tooltip player_id='1366282' first='Carson' last='Carden'] (Jr, WR/DB)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Lakeview @ North Valley (Friday 9/29 @ 7pm)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Two relative surprises this season. Set the over under in this one around 34, and probably take the under. Both defenses are playing out of their minds at the moment, specifically Adrian Stubbs of Lakeview looks like a first team all-state guy. Lakeview by a score or two, but it's possible neither team goes over 300 yards of total offense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Players to watch: Adrian Stubbs (Sr, RB/LB), Benny Alves (Sr, QB/DB); North Valley: Leo Freedman (Sr, RB/LB), Bryson Teal (Sr, QB/DB)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Sisters @ Kennedy (Friday 9/29 @ 7pm)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kennedy has improved week over week and is starting to look like a contender. Sisters is having their best season in a long time, currently sitting at 4-0. Someone is coming out of Mt Angel with their first loss of the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Players to watch: Sisters: Justin DeSmet (Sr, RB/DB), Hunter Bronson (So, QB/DB); Kennedy: Brody Kleinschmidt (Sr, WR/DB), Elijah Traeger (Sr, QB/DB)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
