With two weeks remaining in the regular season for Southeast 1B league football, Garfield/Palouse and Sunnyside Christian remain tied for first place after each won Oct. 19.
The Knights of Sunnyside Christian (7-1) got a forfeit against Touchet while Gar/Pal (7-1) blew out St. John/Endicott/LaCrosse for the second time this year. The Vikings will play at Pomeroy (4-4) Friday night followed by a re-match with Colton on the road the following week.
Sunnyside Christian plays at LaCrosse Friday against the SJEL Eagles (1-7) followed by a home game against Pomeroy to finish the regular season.
If the Knights and Gar/Pal remain tied, Sunnyside Christian will enter the playoffs as the No. 1 seed from the Southeast 1B due to a card draw at the beginning of the season.
Game time in LaCrosse Friday is 7 p.m.
