Another weekend in November means another opportunity for state championships for Clark County high school sports teams.
And two football teams look to make it to the semifinals.

Columbia River, the defending state champion, is taking on Ridgefield in a semifinal at 1 p.m. Friday at Mount Tahoma High School in Tacoma. The winner advances to Saturday’s final.
In Class 1A, La Center continues its history-making season. The Wildcats had never won a state girls soccer playoff match before this season and now they have won two to advance to the semifinals.
