Up next: At winner of DeSales vs. Lind-Ritzville-Sprague

Notes: Cardinals will need to hope their run defense has improved since last week. W-P gave up some long runs against Oroville but was able to overcome it with a high-powered offensive display. That might not be as easy against Reardan and its option offense. The Indians will look to use misdirection to give the Cardinals problems up front. ... The teams have two common opponents, as both suffered losses to Tekoa-Oakesdale-Rosalia and both defeated Tri-Cities Prep. ... Eldred, a senior, has rushed for 1,000 yards this season for a team that is loaded with underclassmen.
