West Linn will go hard against their cross-town rival.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>(5A) Milwaukie @ #2 Tualatin -32.5 <strong>(Tualatin 58 Milwaukie 14)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Even at (0-2) Milwaukie has been one of the biggest surprises statewide, but Tualatin is beating top 10 6A teams by an average score of 50-15 over the last 3 weeks.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#3 Lake Oswego -25 @ #8 Sherwood<strong> (Lake Oswego 38 Sherwood 13)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Credit to Sherwood playing the likes of Tualatin, Willamette, and now reigning state champ LO. [player_tooltip player_id='2105974' first='Kai' last='Boatsman'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1591725' first='Mikey' last='Brandt'] have been one of the best tandems in Oregon. That said as the Lakers just continue to get better.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sprague @ #5 Grants Pass -7.5 <strong>(Grants Pass 29 Sprague 19)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Oly's played Jesuit tough last week, losing 31-21. I think it's possible they hang around with GP after the Cavemen got blasted by Silverton. This game will be telling for Grants Pass and which direction they are headed.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#3 Graham Kapowsin WA -29 @ #6 Central Catholic <strong>(Graham Kapowsin 42 Central Catholic 16)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>GK is a legit state title contender and will likely just get better each week. The Rams 42-6 loss to LO is concerning if we are projecting out where they might end up at seasons end.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#11 Jesuit @ #7 Willamette -8.5 <strong>(Willamette 32 Jesuit 17)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I think Willamette is going to figure out. Losing to the reigning 6A/5A state champs to start the year is still respectable. The comeback win against #8 Sherwood last week was clutch and much needed. Jesuit also got a desperately needed victory over a good Sprague team last week, but this will be a tough one for them.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>West Salem @ #9 North Medford -22<strong> (North Medford 36 West Salem 18)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Credit North after a (1-8) season last year; they have come back in a big way, beating then 5A #1 Wilsonville on the road last week 35-14. West Salem is not terrible, and they are well coached so I could see the Titans covering.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#10 Mountainside @ #12 Lakeridge -1 <strong>(Lakeridge 26 Mountainside 24)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I would bet this comes down to the final minutes. It's a coinflip, but I will give the Pacers the edge at home.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#13 Glencoe @ Westview #15 EVEN <strong>(Westview 21 Glencoe 20)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Westview played #1 West Linn and #5 Grants Pass somewhat tough even though they lost by legit margins. They are both 0-2 with Glencoe playing top 10 teams as well in #2 Tualatin and #10 Mountainside. This could go either way.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#14 Oregon City -16 @ Newberg <strong>(Oregon City 28 Newberg 13)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>OC got blasted by #4 Nelson 49-7 last week, but Newberg doesn't return much, losing to two good teams to start the season (Lakeridge and 5A Dallas) by a combined score of 71-7.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Clackamas @ #15 Tigard -22 <strong>(Tigard 38 Clackamas 24)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Tigard has done well to start the season but hasn't really played anybody. Clack looked much better in week 2 with a 35-7 win over McMinnville.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>5A</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#1 Silverton -45 @ South Albany <strong>(Silverton 54 South Albany 7)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Done by half</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#4 Summit @ #2 Mountain View -2 <strong>(Mountain View 17 Summit 16)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This game could go either way. I would bet a lot one of these two teams are playing for a state title at the end of the year. I projected a one-score game between 6A Sheldon and Summit last week but didn't see the Storm losing. It's also a tough loss for Mountain View with Washington St commit [player_tooltip player_id='1684534' first='Jettson' last='Gillam'] going down with an injury.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Corvallis @ #5 West Albany -37.5 <strong>(West Albany 42 Corvallis 6)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>West Albany almost beat #2 Mountain View, destroyed #9 Thurston, and then almost lost to Milwaukie 34-28 last week at home. Wait what.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#6 Dallas -14.5 @ #14 Lebanon <strong>(Dallas 30 Lebanon 14)&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Dallas isn't messing around but Lebanon is always a pest, losing to a good #7 Ridgeview team to start the year and to #12 Aloha 34-33.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#9 Thurston -5 @ #13 Churchill <strong>(Thurston 25 Churchill 14)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Which Thurston team shows up? They had a solid win over Sheldon week 1 and then got hammered by #5 West Albany 31-7.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#10 Canby @ #7 Sandy -15.5 <strong>(Sandy 35 Canby 19)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I had reigning 4A state champ Cascade beating Sandy last week, but not by 21 points, or anywhere close. Canby also got beat up by Ridgeview 36-15 out in Central Oregon. From a momentum standpoint, this is an incredibly important ballgame for both programs.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>(6A) Sunset @ #11 Liberty -17.5 <strong>(Liberty 39 Sunset 16)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sunset looked terrible against Tigard in the 49-0 loss last week. Liberty didn't look great either beating a struggling Beaverton program 42-21.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#12 Aloha -13 @ (6A) Beaverton <strong>(Aloha 34 Beaverton 20)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There's a lot of excitement at Aloha with a strong senior class returning and a legit line.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
