Notes: The Eagles are out for revenge against the only team to beat them this season and one of only two teams to beat them in the last two seasons. ... Cashmere runs a variation of the Wing T which can give teams fits, especially Connell which rarely faces that type of offense. ... Hadley has 32 touchdowns this season and 115 for his career, as he continues to push the record higher each week.
