ABOUT COLUMBIA RIVER: Columbia River will clinch a playoff berth with a win. This is Woodland’s final league game.

After missing three games with a broken hand, Isaac Bibb-O’Neill has rushed for 342 yards and six touchdowns over the past three weeks, giving the Chieftains some balance on offense.

ABOUT WOODLAND: Woodland can still reach the playoffs with wins in the final two weeks. The Beavers play at Mark Morris next week. The Beavers have scored just 12 points in three games since a 55-7 win over R.A. Long. QB Isaiah Flanagan passed for 139 yards and one touchdown and rushed for 43 last week against Ridgefield.
