RITZVILLE - The Reardan football team came to town Friday, Oct. 13 to face the Lind-Ritzville/Sprague Broncos in a crucial 2023 Homecoming matchup and came away with a shutout victory 25-0.

DAVENPORT - The Pateros Billygoats came into town last weekend searching for their first win of the season after five straight losses to open the 2023 season.

REARDAN - After losing by five goals at Davenport three weeks ago, the Screaming Eagles hosted the Gorillas in a rematch on their home turf Tuesday, Oct. 3.
