Spokane returns to the Arena tonight for the first time in nearly a month. Visiting Tri-Cities provides the opposition at 7 p.m.

About 500 tickets remain for Saturday’s game.

Read on for my unedited game preview that will run in Saturday’s S-R.

Spokane’s two most lopsided wins this season have come against Tri-Cities. The Shock clobbered the Fever 61-20 on Saturday night to improve to 9-0. Spokane crushed Tri-Cities 62-32 six weeks ago in Spokane.

Back with an advance of Saturday’s Spokane/Tri-Cities game. The unedited version is below.

A follow-up post to Spokane’s 62-32 win over Tri-Cities on Saturday. Find the game story I posted last night here, game stats, game photos from Dan Pelle and John Blanchette’s column that brings together cowbells, Gene Frenkle and armpit farts. Tri-Cities coach Richard Davis declined to talk to me after the game, but he did vent about the disputed fumble call on a shovel pass here.

Finally, here’s an Idaho Statesman recap and a Shreveport Times article on Boise’s road win over Bossier-Shreveport Saturday. Spokane visits the Burn this Saturday.

(Spokane’s Ben McCombs is pictured above pressuring Tri-Cities’ quarterback Joe Ayoob, a recurring theme during Saturday’s game).

Not the prettiest game of all time, but the Spokane Shock managed to put away Tri-Cities 62-32 on Saturday night at the Arena.
