BIGGEST GAME – Mountain View @ Springfield
No. 3 Mountain View travels to No. 6 Springfield. This is the biggest matchup in 5A football. The Cougars are 3-0, while the Millers are 2-1 with a 28-12 loss last week to Hermiston.

TOUGHEST CHALLENGE FOR AN IMC TEAM- Ridgeview @ Ashland
Ashland is 3-0 and beat Summit 35-14 last week @ Summit. 2-1 Ridgeview has momentum, but the No. 2 Grizzlies looked really good last week.

BIGGEST WIN – Summit @ The Dalles
The Dalles have been shutout twice this season, 50-0 to Molalla and 61-0 to Redmond. Summit is capable of scoring a lot of points.

HIGHEST SCORING GAME – Redmond @ Hood River Valley
Redmond leads the state in scoring, HRV lost to Ridgeview last week 61-51… don’t be surprised if this one goes over 100 combined points. The Panthers are averaging just under 60 points per game this season and are 3-0 and ranked in the state’s top ten (8).

LEARN THE MOST – Bend @ Pendleton
Lots of common opponents for IMC teams… but not good ones. Pendleton is 2-1 with a 41-19 loss @ Summit. This will be a good comparison of Bend and Summit. Bend is riding two-straight shutouts, having out scored their opponents 70-0 in those games.

STAT LEADER - Derek Brown, Redmond
He’s been doing it all year, I’d guess Brown goes for over 200 yards and four touchdowns.

BREAKOUT PERFORMANCE – Jason Garcia, Summit
The junior running back has had good games already, I’m predicting a huge game tonight from the shifty back for the Storm.

I predict that IMC teams go a combined 4-1 tonight.
