The two teams are set to take part in some playoff action in their next matches. Riverstone International won't have much time to rest: their next contest is against Victory Charter at 2:00 p.m. on Friday. Riverstone International will be up against Victory Charter's rather soft defense (which has allowed 50.42 points per match), so fans could be in store for a big offensive performance. As for Lakeside, they also won't have to wait long for more action: they'll challenge Kamiah at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Lakeside knows how to get points on the board -- the team has finished with 55 points or more in their past 11 games -- so hopefully Kamiah likes a good challenge.
