League football opens Friday, with a couple of difficult road trips for teams looking for an early upset. Colville (2-1) heads to Medical Lake (1-2), coming off two tough losses at Quincy and Cascade (Leavenworth), and Chewelah (1-2) travels to Lakeside (2-0). Lakeside knocked off No. 6 Quincy 28-12 at home on Friday. … Tuesday brings the first meeting between two of the three GNL state soccer qualifiers from 2003, when Pullman is at Deer Park.
