Prep football first-round opponents set

By the Herald staff

The first-round of the high school state football playoffs -- for the most part -- appear set.

In Class 4A, Kamiakin (8-2) plays Ferris (7-3) at 7 p.m. Friday at Spokane's Joe Albi Stadium.

Southridge (9-1) visits Eisenhower (10-0) at 7 p.m. Friday at Zaepfel Stadium in Yakima.

In Class 3A, Hanford (4-6) plays host to Mt. Spokane (9-1) at 7 p.m. Friday at Fran Rish Stadium in Richland.

In Class 2A, it looks like Colbille came out of a three-way mini playoff on Monday to earn the right to play at Othello (8-2) at 1 p.m. Saturday.

There are three games of interest in Class 1A: Cascade of Leavenworth (7-3) visits Connell (10-0) at 7 p.m. Friday; River View (8-2) travels to Okanogan (6-3) at 2 p.m. Saturday; and Royal (8-2) visits Chelan (4-5) at 1 p.m. Saturday.

In Class 2B, there's a three-way mini-playoff tiebreaker in Dayton starting at 5 p.m. today. Asotin plays Waitsburg-Prescott first, with the winner meeting DeSales. The top two teams advance to the state tournament.
