OSAA Rank: #23 OSAA Rank: #14

Common Opponents

Powder Valley is coming off a huge win when they gave Pilot Rock/Nixyaawii their first loss of the season. If they can play like they did against the #1 team out of the SD3 West, Enterprise might have a tough time keeping up with the Badgers.

Common Opponents

This will be the second time Crane and Union meet on the gridiron this year. Crane cruised 56-0 on 9/5/19. Union looks to be improving as the year has gone on however, only losing to Pilot Rock/Nixyaawii 36-32 a few weeks back. Crane’s only loss of the year is to AD3 East #1 (OSAA #2) Adrian/Jordan Valley in week two 42-36.

1A SD3 West #2 – Dufur RangersV1A SD3 East #3 – Elgin Huskies
Overall Record: 5-3 (4-1 in league)Overall Record: 5-2 (4-2 in league)
OSAA Rank: #11 OSAA Rank: #13

Game Time: 4pm (PT)

Common Opponents

On paper this game looks to be a toss up. Coming into this year Dufur had won four straight state championships. Dufur’s three losses this year came from the #1 team in the state St. Paul, the #2 team in the state Adrian/Jordan Valley and the #9 team in the state Pilot Rock/Nixyaawii. Elgin can put points up to compete with Dufur but can they stop the Rangers?

1A SD3 West #1 – Pilot Rock/Nixyaawii RocketsV 1A SD3 East #1 – Adrian/Jordan Valley Antelopes
Overall Record: 6-1 (5-0 in league)Overall Record: 8-0 (6-0 in league)
OSAA Rank: #9OSAA Rank: #2

Game Time 7:30pm (PT)

Common Opponents

Pilot Rock/Nixyaawii has the athletes to compete with Adrian/Jordan Valley but to this point in the season no one has been able to stop the Lopes. Pilot Rock/Nixyaawii will need a great defensive effort to slow down Adrian/Jordan Valley’s speedsters.
