TIGARD, Ore.–  It’s a battle between two OSAA Top 15 teams in the Tri Rivers Conference Friday Night.

No. 9 West Linn enters Friday’s game versus No. 14 Tigard 5-1 overall and 3-1 in the conference, are led by a large amount of juniors as the Lions lone loss came by way of Sherwood by four last Friday.

However, since their game against the Bowman, West Linn might posed the most challenging opposition since September 18.

Tigard will look to break the three-way tie for second with the Lions and Tualatin, as for West Linn, it’s redemption from their 45-35 loss to the Tigers from the 2014 meeting between these two squads.

Kickoff for this game is at 7pm at Tigard High School.
