Right here’s The Information Tribune’s Week 7 Sport of the Week choice, with predictions for each recreation involving South Sound groups under.
GAME OF THE WEEK
Puyallup Vikings (6-0) vs. Sumner Spartans (6-0)
7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 16 at Sundown Chev Stadium
Puyallup has had the rating burned into the scoreboard at Sparks Stadium because the offseason: Sumner 42, Puyallup 35. The loss got here within the Class 4A state match semifinals and was Puyallup’s solely loss within the 2025 season. Sumner, after all, went on to beat Lake Stevens within the 4A state championship recreation behind the heroics of TNT state participant of the yr and working again Lance McGee, who’s now at WSU. Puyallup gained the common season assembly between the groups, 58-22, making Sumner’s win all of the extra spectacular. This yr, there’s no Lance McGee at Sumner, however the Spartans are robust as common on the offensive line and senior Santos Hernandez-Ruiz (130 yards per recreation) has been the most recent to thrive in Keith Ross’ run scheme. Puyallup, in the meantime, will look to air the ball out greater than the Spartans with senior quarterback Noah Smith (1,656 yards, 29 TD), who has been torching defenses to the tune of 276 passing yards per recreation. Boise State commit J’Isaiah Mitchell (560 yards, 10 TDs) and senior Luke Parker (539 yards, 14 TDs) have been Smith’s prime targets. Something can occur in a rivalry recreation, however we’ve a tricky time choosing towards this juggernaut Puyallup crew.
TNT choose: Puyallup 35, Sumner 21
