Camas will play Gonzaga Prep in a Class 4A state semifinal game, and Seton Catholic will play Montesano in a Class 1A state semifinal game in back-to-back matchups at McKenzie Stadium
The WIAA has finalized times and dates for the high school football semifinals across the state, and McKenzie Stadium is the place to be for Clark County fans.
As expected, McKenzie Stadium in east Vancouver will host two semifinal games featuring Clark County teams.
Camas, the No. 1 seed in the Class 4A playoffs, will face No. 5 Gonzaga Prep of Spokane at 1 p.m. Saturday.
Seton Catholic, the No. 2 seed in the Class 1A playoffs, will take on No. 6 Montesano at 4 p.m.
Over this past weekend, Seton Catholic officials were hoping for a 5 p.m. game at McKenzie, to allow for more time between the two games. There are a number of factors in scheduling these games, including the road team’s preference (for travel time purposes) and stadium staffing logistics.
Camas improved to 12-0 with a 35-21 win over No. 8 Arlington in the quarterfinals this past Saturday afternoon. That night, Seton Catholic scored with less than a minute to go to get past Life Christian Academy 42-41 in its quarterfinal matchup. Seton Catholic is 11-0.
McKenzie Stadium has hosted state semifinal games since 2018 whenever Southwest Washington home teams have reached the final four.
The other 4A semifinal is No. 3 Chiawana vs. No. 2 Sumner at Sunset Chev Stadium in Sumner. The other 1A semifinal is between No. 4 Cashmere vs. No. 1 Royal at Lions Field in Moses Lake.
The winners of the semifinal games will reach the championship game of their classification. The championship games are set for Husky Stadium in Seattle.
The 1A title game is Friday, Dec. 6. The 4A title game is Saturday, Dec. 7.
