Game notes
• NO. 3 VS. NO. 8: The Associated Press came out with its first state-wide poll of the season this week. Camas showed up at No. 3 in the Class 3A poll. Skyview is No. 8 in the 4A poll. Lucky for us, the teams play each other this week to determine the top-ranked team in Clark County.
• WHAT ABOUT UNION?: It is a little strange not to see Union in the polls. After all, the Titans’ only loss this season was a close game to No. 2 Bellevue. So while Camas and Skyview are playing in that “ranked” game, Union will be trying to imrpove to 3-1 with a home game against Kelso. The Titans don’t need a ranking. Just know that they are feeling a bit overlooked right now, and that could be dangerous to opponents.
• IN-DISTRICT RIVAL: Heritage and Mountain View face each other in the nightcap at McKenzie Stadium. It is a non-league game now, but it remains a rivalry.
• BIGGEST GAME THAT REALLY COUNTS: With only one league game in the 3A GSHL and one in the 2A GSHL, it’s the 1A schools that have a full schedule of games that really matter. Ridgefield (3-0, 1-0 Trico League) travel to face La Center (2-1, 0-1) in the Trico game of the week.
