The Daily Spokane team
If you follow Greater Spokane League football, two teams are in and one is out. East Valley beat Rogers 20-8 in Monday's "mini-game" tiebreaker to claim a spot. The Knights then sat their starters against Pullman, which scored on its first four possessions and took the other.

“We're going to state, so absolutely it was worth the bus ride.”

- East Valley: lost its first two league games, won its last five
- Format: up to three games of two 10-minute halves
