Kickoff: 7 p.m. today

Last week: Gila Ridge beat Lake Havasu 29-28 in overtime; Cibola beat San Luis 63-0.

Records: Hawks (3-6, 2-3); Raiders (5-4, 4-0)

Players to watch: Gila Ridge QB Mike Pancrazi ran for both a touchdown and the winning two-point conversion in overtime against the Knights. ... Cibola RB Roy Thompson has run for 1,354 yards this season.

Gila Ridge coach Jay Denton's comments: "We just got to be consistent. They have a great defense, but we have to try to move the ball and keep it away from them."

Cibola coach Lucky Arvizo's comments: "We have to make sure we contain their quarterback. Once he gets outside he's dangerous either running or throwing."

The lowdown: Cibola has already clinched the region title and advances to the playoffs win or lose. ... It's the first meeting between the two schools.
