I'm out at Curtis High School and it finally feels like fall has arrived. Last Friday was awfully soggy, but tonight is downright chilly. Wish I had a Thermos of something hot to keep me warm tonight.

Also, Puyallup playmaker Justin Veltung will not play tonight against Curtis. He injured his left foot last week against Spanaway Lake. My story today indicated that this was a possibility.

The TNT's Todd Milles will be in the office tonight, posting score updates on this blog throughout the evening. You can get the scores sent to your cell phone by signing up at Twitter. Do a search for "tntsports" and sign up to "follow" us to get the high school football score updates and big-play highlights texted directly to you.

We've got small, but loyal, following right now, and we'd love to keep you on top of the football happenings on Friday night.

NARROWS LEAGUE
Gig Harbor (4-1) at Foss (4-1)
7 p.m. today at Mount Tahoma Stadium

The lowdown: Gig Harbor is 2-0 in the series with these coaches on board, including a 45-19 victory last year in Purdy. The only city school Gig Harbor has lost to under coach Darren McKay is Wilson, 18-17 in 2006.
Why the Tides will win: This season is coming together nicely for the Tides, who shut out Peninsula, 33-0, in the Fish Bowl last week. McKay called it as complete a performance he's seen this season. The wear-and-tear of facing Gig Harbor's no-huddle offense takes its toll in the second quarter – the Tides have outscored opponents, 59-20. Since LB Dalton Darmody (knee) returned to the lineup against Central Kitsap, the Tides have given up only 20 total points.
Why the Falcons will win: The buzz for football has returned at Foss, which has game-breaking RB Julian Cruell (86 rushes, 507 yards, four TDs) and big-play QB Davante Peterson (46-of-84, 823 yards, 10 TDs) leading the way. The two things Foss has going for it in this matchup on defense is familiarity (Falcons also run the spread offense) and a defensive line (eight tackles for loss last week against Wilson) that gets pressure in the backfield.
The News Tribune pick: Foss is lacking depth and that does not bode well in facing a Tides offense that wears out teams with its fast tempo.
Gig Harbor 30, Foss 18

SPSL South
Puyallup (4-1) at Curtis (4-1)
7 p.m. today at Viking Field

The lowdown: Curtis has only won once in this all-Vikings series since 2001 – a 28-21 victory when the two schools shared the SPSL South title in 2006. Puyallup won 26-14 last season.
Why the Vikings will win: He's caught four TD passes. He's run for another score. And last week, this speedy playmaker returned a kickoff (84 yards) and punt (75) for TDs. Any question that WR Justin Veltung, The News Tribune's reigning All-Area boys soccer player of the year, is as exciting as they come? QB Brennen Boyes (49-of-85, 883 yards, 12 TDs) still continues to give Puyallup balance.
Why Curtis will win: Rejuvenated rushing attack piled up 452 yards in last week's 67-0 win over Todd Beamer, and is led by RB Richard Southern (73 rushes, 572 yards, 11 TDs). Lineup is loaded with playmakers, espeically WR Stan Langlow (three TD receptions), who picked off a pass for a score against the Titans.
The News Tribune pick: A second divisional loss for either team would virtually eliminate them from SPSL South title hunt.
Puyallup 31, Curtis 30

SPSL 3A
Bonney Lake (4-1) at Peninsula (3-2)
7 p.m. today at Roy Anderson Field

The lowdown: The schools' first meeting likely will determine not only the league's runner-up behind Lakes, but the winner would host at least one early 3A playoff game.
Why the Panthers will win: RB Aaron Quevedo (54 rushes, 474 yards, six TDs), the SPSL 3A rushing leader going into last week, sat out because of a hamstring injury. He'll serve as the No. 3 running back this week behind Mario Harris (124 yards, TD against White River) and Drew Foster (132 yards, two TDs). Injuries have forced carousel rotation at cornerback, but SS Colton Nash will be asked to do a lot defending Peninsula's passing attack.
Why the Seahawks will win: They were shell-shocked last week by Gig Harbor, and ultimately angry by the result. Coach Ross Filkins said his players were "hungry" to show the 33-0 loss was just an off-performance. QB J.R. Grosshans (47-of-79, 777 yards, four TDs) might take more chances this week, opening lanes for RBs Brandon James (73 rushes, 355 yards, 10 TDs) and J.D. Devaga (43 rushes, 327 yards, TD).
The News Tribune pick: The pressure is squarely on the Seahawks in a game they are favored to win at home.
Peninsula 19, Bonney Lake 17

NISQUALLY 1A/2B
Life Christian Academy (4-1) at Vashon (3-2)
7 p.m. today at Vashon Island Stadium

The lowdown: Before this season, Vashon had dropped 39 of its past 41 games, including a 0-4 record against Life Christian. The Eagles won 46-7 in Lakewood last season.
Why the Eagles will win: A 68-27 loss two weeks ago to Orting prompted coach Todd Corrigan to call for more "live" work at practice on tackling and conditioning. Life Christian responded with a 33-0 over Chimacum. RB Morgan Cox (71 rushes, 598 yards, seven TDs; 11 total TDs) and QB Barrett Schmidtke (66-of-117, 1,291 yards, 13 TDs) will be asked to solve opportunistic Vashon defense.
Why the Pirates will win: You'd have to go back to the days of Jason Chorak in the 1990s for the last time the island was rocking with this kind of anticipation. DLs Nathan Betz, Kyle Martin and 6-foot-6 Michael Stoffer are doing their damage at key junctures of the fourth quarter for a young team that starts just three seniors. Betz (96 rushes, 444 yards, three TDs) is the team's leading rusher.
The News Tribune pick: Vashon is taking small steps for a program that has already collected its most wins in a season since 2003.
Life Christian 28, Vashon 14

No. 10 MARYSVILLE-PILCHUCK (5-0)
at LAKE STEVENS (4-1)
7 p.m. today at Lake Stevens

The Tomahawks celebrated 100 years of football last week in a victory over Arlington. This week, they replaced the Vikings as the No. 10 team in The News Tribune's ranking. Lake Stevens will air it out with QB Nick Baker (116-of-164, 1,575 yards, 18 TDs), and M-P will grind it out with RB Austin Denton (three 200-yard rushing games). Winner takes sole possessions of first in the WesCo 4A North.

TNT pick: Lake Stevens 31, Marysville-Pilchuck 27
