POULSBO — And then there were two. No. 4 Quilcene (8-0) and Neah Bay (5-5) are the lone remaining North Olympic Peninsula high school football teams still alive in the postseason.

The Rangers, Sea-Tac League champions, enjoyed a bye last week in the opening round of the Class 1B Quad-District Playoffs. They will face a rematch against Sea-Tac League foe Tacoma Baptist on Saturday night at 6 at North Kitsap High School in Poulsbo.

Quilcene walloped the Crusaders 66-26 back on Oct. 7, scoring 42 second-quarter points to turn a close game into a rout.

Prediction: Quilcene 42, Tacoma Baptist 28

Neah Bay at Naselle

NASELLE — A long trip got longer for the Red Devils when the Southwest District 4 Comets (7-2) declined to play this playoff game on the turf at Aberdeen’s Stewart Stadium.

Instead, the game will be played at Naselle’s grass field tonight at 7 p.m.

Prediction: Neah Bay 26, Naselle 14

Last Week: 4-1

Season to Date: 53-15
