The Lions are 4-1 overall and are coming off a 26-20 overtime home win over Sherwood on Friday night. This week, West Linn travels to face No. 2 Lake Oswego (4-1 overall) at 7 p.m. Friday.

Clackamas (5-0 overall), the reigning Class 6A state champion, is currently the top-ranked team in the state, followed in the top five by Lake Oswego, Sheldon (4-1), Jesuit (4-1) and Tigard (5-0).
