ABOUT PRAIRIE: Prairie gets a non-league break this week while the Falcons learn what they will be playing for next week when they face Evergreen. If Mountain View beat Kelso on Friday, Prairie will be assured of a playoff berth and be playing for the No. 2 or No. 3 seed next week. But if Kelso wins, the Falcons will be playing for the No. 1 seed to the Week 10 playoffs or elimination.

He rushed for three TDs last week.
ABOUT RIDGEFIELD: The Spudders will be getting ready for their Week 9 showdown with Hockinson for at least a share of the league title.

He rushed for three touchdowns, giving him 13 on the season. He has rushed for 999 yards. QB Luke Price has passed for 915 yards.
