ABOUT CAMAS: A win for the Papermakers would put Camas in a position to secure the league title outright next week with a win over Union. Camas has scored at least 41 points in five of seven games this season. The Papermakers have not allowed a foe to score more than 14 points. Camas built a 41-0 halftime lead last week against Battle Ground. Camas should be well-rested heading into this first big league showdown.

The defense limited Battle Ground to a pair of first-half first downs.
ABOUT SKYVIEW: With a win, Skyview would clinch at least a share of the 4A GSHL title and be assured of the No. 1 seed to the Week 10 playoffs. The Storm have scored a least 26 points in every game this season. During their four-game win streak, they have averaged 50 points a game. RB Jalynnee McGee had a season-high 218 yards on 12 carries and three TDs, including a 92-yard TD run. He has rushed for 807 yards and 19 TDs this season, scoring at least two TDs in every game.
