Odessa is a perfect 8-0 against Columbia since December of 2017 and they'll have a chance to extend that dominance on Saturday. The Tigers will host the Lions at 6:00 p.m. Having both just faced considerable losses, both teams are looking to turn things around.

After dropping their season opener at home, Columbia is headed out to face a Tigers team ready to give their home crowd a win. Odessa took a blow against Asotin on Thursday, falling 65-15. The Tigers were in a tough position after the first half, with the score already sitting at 35-9.

Odessa's defeat came about despite a quality game from Aiden Schmierer, who posted seven points.

Meanwhile, Columbia had to hit the road for their first game and it wasn't the result they were hoping for. They lost 62-36 to Wilson Creek on Tuesday. The Lions have struggled against the Devils recently, as the game was their third consecutive lost matchup.

Everything came up roses for Odessa against Columbia in their previous meeting back in December of 2024, as the squad secured a 71-32 win. Do the Tigers have another victory up their sleeve, or will the Lions turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
