Looking for a good Washington high school football game to plan a night out for during the eighth weekend of the upcoming fall?

We've got you covered.

SBLive WA breaks down Week 8 of the WIAA regular-season schedule, prioritizing the 12 must-see games, including a featured matchup:

---

WEEK 8 (Oct. 24-26): Kamiakin (4A) at Kennewick (3A), 7 p.m. Friday, Lampson Stadium, Kennewick

Both 4A/3A Mid-Columbia Conference co-favorites are also the league's projected top playoff seeds for their respective classifications. But this Week 8 contest has more drama than that. For starters, this is for bragging rights in town, which is a big deal around these parts. And the overall league champion could be crowned, too. The Lions have won the past two gmes in the series, but by a combined seven points.
