GSL Football Titles Remain Open as Season Nears Finish

The Greater Spokane League has two regular-season weeks remaining, and none of its three division championships is settled. Ridgeline has secured a Week 10 place in 3A, while West Valley has done so in 2A. In 4A, Mead leads at 6-1 overall; the other three teams are 2-5. The race for the division’s second guaranteed playoff place could hinge on Gonzaga Prep’s Oct. 29 meeting with Lewis and Clark.

Ridgeline still needs to get past Cheney on Oct. 29 to claim the 3A crown. University and Mt. Spokane are also watching the standings, with their matchup potentially deciding who reaches the 3A third-place play-in. Cheney, Mt. Spokane and University could instead finish 3-2 in league play, which would send second- and third-place decisions to a Kansas tiebreaker on Halloween. Mt. Spokane’s 21-19 win over Cheney gave the Wildcats an advantage, but they still face Central Valley and University.

In 2A, West Valley wins the title by beating Rogers this week. Pullman can eliminate East Valley from the race with a victory, while a Rogers win over West Valley could create a three-team tie and require a Nov. 3 tiebreaker. Mead’s remaining games are against Lewis and Clark and Ferris. Gonzaga Prep finishes against Lewis and Clark, and West Valley hosts Rogers. Pullman hosts East Valley. Those games will shape the Week 10 paths local families follow, including which teams advance automatically and which must play in Tuesday’s postseason game.
