Five things to watch this season
Camas-Union rivalry: Sure, these schools are rivals in just about everything, but the soccer field is one place the competition gets especially intense. Don’t be surprised if the two matches between the Papermakers and the Titans — on Oct. 2 and Oct. 28 — determine the 4A GSHL championship.
Columbia River reloads: The Chieftains graduated 12 seniors from last season’s team, but still expect to make a run at a third-consecutive Class 3A championship.
Returning talent: Five of the 12 girls selected to The Columbian’s all-region team for 2013 are back for this season. Among the many all-league players returning are the 2013 offensive MVPs from the 4A GSHL (Delaney Lindahl, Union), the 2A GSHL (Rylee Seekins, Hockinson and Tayrn Ries, Ridgefield) and 1A Trico (Heidi Fronk, King’s Way Christian).
