OLYMPIA — Quilcene’s first-round state 1B football championships game against DeSales has been scheduled for 3 p.m. Friday at Ty Baffney Field in Walla Walla.

Quilcene (6-4) qualified for the state tournament by beating Lake Quinault 58-14 last week in a district playoff game.

DeSales, a private Catholic school based in Walla Walla, went 8-1 on the season and plays in the 1B Southeast Region.

Quilcene, last year’s state championship runner-up team, got off to a slow start this season and lost its starting quarterback Jayden Love for the year, but has since gone 5-1 over the past six weeks with the only loss to No. 2-ranked Neah Bay. The Rangers are a No. 11 seed and DeSales a No. 6 seed.

Neah Bay, the No. 2 seed in the state, has a bye in the first round. The Red Devils will play at Forks High School on either Nov. 18 or 19 against the winner of Pomeroy (No. 10) and Wellpinit (No. 7).
