Davenport prepares to the take the field in a district crossover game against Lake Roosevelt Friday, Nov. 5.

DAVENPORT--The Davenport football was named the No. 8 seed for the state playoffs and will take on the No. 9 Toledo Riverhawks of the Central 2B League in the first round of the tournament.

Toledo is 9-2 overall this season. The Riverhawks' only losses are to fellow 2B playoff contestants in No. 1 Kalama and No. 5 Onalaska.

The Riverhawks play a similar style to Davenport, relying on a strong, physical rushing attack and a solid front-seven defense while passing very little and lying susceptible to the pass due to a weak secondary. Toledo beat Friday Harbor 49-27 on Nov. 6 to secure its state playoff berth.

Davenport is ranked No. 6 in WIAA RPI, while Toledo is ranked No. 10.

The winner of the game will advance to the state quarterfinals to take on top-seeded Kalama next weekend.


The Gorillas are considered the home team for the game, but it will be played at Lion's Field in Moses Lake because Davenport's facilities don't meet the WIAA standard for state playoff games.

Tickets are $10 for adults and $7 for seniors and students. Tickets can be purchased on the WIAA website or by using a QR code at the stadium. Paper tickets won't be sold, and cash won't be accepted per state rules.

Davenport and Toledo kicks off from Moses Lake Saturday, Nov. 13 at noon.
