The Oregon high school football playoffs are coming to a close with the final championship games taking place this week. One of the most anticipated matchups is between No. 4 Central Catholic and No. 2 Tualatin in the 6A division.

Central Catholic, the defending state champions, will face Tualatin in a rematch of last year's state final, which Central Catholic won 44-14. Central Catholic boasts a strong offensive lineup led by quarterback Cru Newman and running back Killian Sombe. The team's defense is led by safety Cade Gehlen and defensive end Matix Carpenter.

On the other side, Tualatin is looking to avenge last year's loss and win its first state title since 1994. Led by quarterback Nolan Keeney and wide receiver Jayden Fortier, Tualatin has an explosive offense. The team's defense, anchored by cornerback Timmy Mitchell and linebacker Dexter Foster, will be critical in stopping Central Catholic's potent offense.

Both teams have had impressive seasons, with Central Catholic going undefeated at 12-0 and Tualatin with just one loss at 11-1. The stage is set for an exciting championship game with the title on the line.

Who will come out on top? Can Central Catholic defend their title, or will Tualatin emerge as the new champions? Football fans in Oregon will find out on Friday at Hillsboro Stadium.
