CLASS 4A
No. 3 Auburn (11-0) vs. Skyview (9-2), 7:30 p.m. Friday at Kiggins Bowl, Vancouver
The lowdown:
Auburn’s defense came though big-time, scoring touchdowns on two fumble returns, in its 25-22 win over Marysville-Pilchuck last week. Auburn’s offense must find its rhythm against Skyview. The Trojans will turn to their man-size offensive line to clear running lanes for running backs Austin Embody and Alphonse Wade. Skyview has thumped SPSL teams Federal Way and Bethel in consecutive weeks. QB Austin Dodge has thrown for 640 yards in the last two weeks. Skyview can move the ball on the ground, too. RB Matt Spears gashed the Braves for 167 yards and four touchdowns on 33 carries.
The News Tribune pick: Skyview’s winning streak over SPSL teams reaches an end.
Auburn 27, Skyview 26
