The high school football season in Oregon continues this week. Here’s a look at some of the most interesting games from week two.
WHAT WE LEARNED IN WEEK 1
OUR PREDICTIONS FOR WEEK 2
All games Friday 7pm
The Olympians are 2-0 up for the first time in four seasons, but they face a tough test from the Black Tornados, who came away from Grants Pass in their opener.
Both teams picked up wins in Week 1, but the Bowmen will need to be at their best in this away game.
If Oregon were to implement a true open playoff system, this could be a great matchup. Can the Foxes slow down Lakers running back LaMarcus Bell (285 yards, four touchdowns)?
The Timberwolves looked good in their win over Jesuit in Week 1. The Saxons will have their hands full trying to slow down the visitors.
The Cavaliers beat defending PIL champion Wells in their opener, but now have to deal with the Papermakers’ defense that kept Seattle opponent Roosevelt out of the end zone in Week 1 – the Roughriders’ only touchdown was a punt return in Camas’ 12-6 win.
The Mavericks will look to build on their strong second half from their Week 1 loss to Silverton when they travel to the Pioneers, who defeated Grant 36-14 in their opener.
The next chance to give Crusaders coach Ken Potter his 352nd win and thus set the national record comes in Tigard, which lost its opening game in Sheldon 43-13.
Can the RedHawks find a way to catch Ravens senior Ishon Ortiz, who ran for 608 yards and seven touchdowns to help Ridgeview get to its first 2-0 start since 2021?
The Storm’s tough season opener continues as they play their first home game against the defending 5A champions, who narrowly defeated 6A Nelson 27-26 in Week 1.
The Vikings travel north to showcase their new shotgun spread strategy led by junior quarterback JBrody Van Gastel against last year’s 5A runner-up.
It’s a rematch of last year’s 4A state final, with the Spartans looking to avenge their 42-28 loss to the Hornets.
Scappoose has been a road warrior the first two weeks, driving down I-84 to win at Pendleton and Baker, and now it stays at home for a rematch of last year’s 4A quarterfinals.
Banks junior Lane Gilbert had a solid debut as the first-team starting quarterback, running for 129 yards and two touchdowns and throwing another against Santiam Christian, but the Seagulls will pose a tougher challenge.
These rivals have met three times in the last two seasons. The Oakers lost both regular season games but won the 2022 2A state final 46-32.
