We are now getting a better understanding of which teams are truly talented, which teams may have had a lucky few weeks, and which teams are looking to improve for next season. I will provide a preview for each week four game by conference for the 5A level. Up next is the Northwest Oregon Conference. Each game will have a prediction and highlight some players from each team to watch, based on their recent performances.
#2 Summit (1-2) @ #1 Wilsonville (2-1)
Prediction: Wilsonville def. Summit 35-21.
In last week’s games, Wilsonville had a tough battle against Tualatin, who is ranked 4th in the 6A league, while Summit had a rough time in their matchup against Tualatin in week one. Summit was unable to score any points last week in their game against Sherwood, who is ranked 6th in the 6A league. Based on recent performance, it seems that Wilsonville will come out on top as they have been playing better and have a stronger team overall.

#8 Canby (1-2) @ #10 Bend (2-1)
Prediction: Canby def. Bend 30-20.
Canby finally got it together last week, beating (6A) Beaverton 42-7 at home. Tyler Konold Tyler Konold 6'0" | 200 lbs | ATH Canby | 2024 State OR balled out and rushed 14 times for 241 yards with three touchdowns. He is one of the best players in Oregon and I knew a breakout performance like this was coming. Bend also dominated last week with a 42-0 over Putnam. I think Canby’s firepower will prevail in this one, but it should be somewhat of a good game.

Hillsboro (2-1) @ Centennial (0-3)
Prediction: Hillsboro def. Centennial 42-20.
In their previous game, Hillsboro had an impressive victory against a formidable 4A team, Seaside, with a score of 47-20. Their next game will be against Centennial on their brand-new turf field. While Centennial put up a decent fight against another strong 4A team, La Salle, last week, Hillsboro will prove to be a tough opponent. It is anticipated that Hillsboro will pull away eventually.

Hood River Valley (1-2) @ Forest Grove (1-2)
Prediction: Hood River Valley def. Forest Grove 28-20.
Hood River is expected to win the upcoming game against Forest Grove, although there is a chance for an exciting matchup if Kaden Hale Kaden Hale 6'3" | 200 lbs | ATH Forest Grove | 2024 State OR leads his team effectively. Forest Grove will need to work hard to keep the game close and execute their plays in order to have a chance at winning.

(4A) Parkrose (0-3) @ Putnam (0-3)
Prediction: Parkrose def. Putnam 35-14.
It has been a challenging year for Putnam as they have had trouble scoring points, facing two shutouts in three games. In contrast, Parkrose has demonstrated some skill and has been successful in putting points on the board this season. As a result, my prediction is that Parkrose will come out on top in their game against Putnam this week.

#5 Mountain View (3-0) @ Southridge (1-2)
Prediction: Mountain View def. Southridge 49-7.
Mountain View has been performing exceptionally well in the early stages of the season and is expected to continue their strong form this week against a comparatively weaker Southridge team. Although Southridge has some talented players, they are currently in the process of rebuilding their team, which gives Mountain View an opportunity to capitalize on the situation and take an early lead in the game.
