"Coeur d’Alene vs. Mead (tiebreaker): This had the makings of a big showdown between undefeated teams. That is until the Vikings fell 34-21 at Centennial and the Panthers were knocked off 21-6 by Lewis and Clark. Still, this should be a battle as both teams want to regain some momentum heading into league play. Mead is trying to find a starting quarterback as two players will alternate series. CdA has a standout behind center. I’ll go with the proven QB. CdA 27, Mead 21. Guest (Sean Dorris): The question for CdA is can it protect (quarterback Shea) Vucinich? Mead will have to play a great game to slow down the Viking passing game, but the Panthers have some playmakers of their own. The bottom line for Mead is keeping the Viking offense off the field. CdA 28, Mead 21.
