Friday Night (High)lights: What we know and what we think we know -- scenarios and possibilities for GSL division races, postseason

Oct. 17—With two weeks left in the regular season, the Greater Spokane League's three divisions are coming down to crunch time. Only two teams — Ridgeline in 3A and West Valley in 2A — have clinched a Week 10 spot, and all three division titles are still up for grabs so there's plenty of meaningful football left to play. That's not to say there isn't writing on the wall as to how things might ...

As the Greater Spokane League (GSL) football season enters its final two weeks, the three divisions are nearing a critical juncture. In 4A, Mead has dominated the division, boasting a perfect 6-1 record. The other teams in the division, Gonzaga Prep and Lewis and Clark, both stand at 2-5. The outcome of their matchup on October 29 will likely determine who secures the second playoff spot.

In 3A, Ridgeline and West Valley are the only two teams to have clinched their playoff spots. Ridgeline's path to a title is far from certain, as the Falcons have one remaining game against Cheney on October 29, a match that could keep Ridgeline from claiming the division title. Meanwhile, University's chances of securing the third spot hinge on their outcome against Mt. Spokane, a game that could force a tiebreaker.

The 2A division is less straightforward, with West Valley and Rogers each holding a narrow lead. If West Valley wins against Rogers, they will secure the division title. Similarly, if Pullman triumphs over East Valley, they will lock in the three playoff teams. However, if both Rogers and West Valley finish with one league loss, a Kansas tiebreaker on November 3 will decide the champion.

In 1B, Almira/Coulee-Hartline displayed dominance over Wilbur-Creston-Keller with a 44-0 halftime lead, a game that solidified their position at the top of the rankings. Their heavy point total, averaging 64.5 points per game, underscores their strong performance throughout the season.
