Game notes: This game is essentially a playoff game. The winner advances at the No. 3 seed from the 4A GSHL to next week’s state preliminary round and play at Kentwood. … Both teams have one league win — against Battle Ground. … QB Jake Dahlberg completed 14 of 17 passes for 308 yards as the Timberwolves built a 41-0 halftime lead against BG … Heritage lost three consecutive game in September on late or last-minute plays … Heritage’s other win was 27-26 win over Grant of Portland. … Evergreen has suffered far more lopsided losses, although the Plainsmen did play a tough non-league schedule. … In six of their seven losses, Evergreen allowed at least 34 points.
The Columbian’s take: Since Jake Dahlberg returned to share quarterback duties with Riley O’Dell, Heritage’s offense has played well. The Timberwolves have struggled to stopped the running game. But they should be able to score enough to beat the Plainsmen. PICK: Heritage.
