Eight local football teams earned home games in the state preliminary football playoffs next weekend as matchups were announced on Sunday, led by top-ranked Camas in Class 4A and No. 2 Seton Catholic in 1A.
Camas (9-0), fresh off winning the 4A Greater St. Helens League title with a 24-14 win over Skyview on Friday at Kiggins Bowl, will host Stadium of Tacoma (6-3) at 7 p.m. Friday at Doc Harris Stadium in a 4A Week 10 playoff.
Games will be played Friday or Saturday. While some game times were announced Sunday, others will be set once participating schools agree on game details.
Seton Catholic (9-0), which won its first Trico League championship with 29-21 win over La Center on Friday, will play either College Place or Chelan in a 1A Week 10 playoff. College Place (4-4) will face Chelan (3-6) in a Kansas Plan tiebreaker on Monday to determine which team will travel to face Seton Catholic.
For the first time, teams in every classification will be part of a statewide Week 10 district crossover, meaning matchups in Week 10 could feature teams from anywhere in the state.
Despite falling to Camas, Skyview (6-3) will again be at Kiggins Bowl for Week 10 when the Storm host Juanita of Kirkland (6-3) at 1 p.m. Saturday at Kiggins Bowl.
