Prosser battles Selah for control of the CWAC South
Coming off a Week 3 shocker of a defeat at the hands of the Othello Huskies, the Prosser High School football team has to bounce back for its most important game of the regular season, at home Friday against the Selah Vikings.
With Selah (2-0, 1-0) beating reigning CWAC champ Ellensburg 42-35 last week — sending the normally dynamic Bulldogs into a spiraling 0-3 start with losses to Royal and Connell as well — and the realignment of the Class 2A conference into two divisions, the winner of this week’s tilt will be well on its way to a CWAC South division title.
Selah beat Prosser (2-1, 0-1) 39-36 in the regular season finale last year to force a three-way tie, with Othello, for the final two CWAC postseason berths. However, the Vikings were defeated by the Mustangs and Huskies in a Kansas-Plan tiebreaker.
