There is talk that there might be a full game played for two teams in between Weeks 9 and 10, meaning a team will play three games in nine days, in the one postseason scenario

There was a time in Southwest Washington when high school football teams scheduled three football games in nine or 10 days down the stretch in order to figure out the final playoff teams.
In recent years, we’ve had some tiebreakers in between Week 9 and 10, but not full games.
Well, now, there is some discussion in Class 2A District 4 of returning to a full game to determine the final playoff spot. Interestingly, the decision makers are hoping to make that decision this week.
The sports administrators and this high school sports reporter who make up this podcast are hoping they figure out a way to do this without playing a full game. Play a series of possessions. Make it closer to a tiebreaker. But please, please, don’t play a full game.
That’s just one of the many subjects we tackle in today’s Clark County Today sports podcast. The format is simple. Two sports administrators, with coaching experience — Tony Liberatore and Cale Piland — hang out with me, sports reporter Paul Valencia, and we discuss local sports, college sports, pro sports, and sometimes fun things in our lives. Hope you enjoy the discussion.
Piland is the former head football coach at Evergreen and Union and is now the athletic director for Evergreen Public Schools. Liberatore is a former assistant coach and athletic director at Columbia River who is now an associate principal at Fort Vancouver.
Me? I’m just a sports reporter who has been covering high school sports in Clark County since 2001.
