Every week, KATU Sports Photographer Mike Rosborough spotlights local high school football games in his 'Mike's Games to Watch.' And you can catch highlights from the games on our High School Blitz show Fridays at 11:35 p.m. (right after KATU News).

Here is one of this week's games to watch...

West Linn goes west to Westview and Jesuit heads south to Medford to meet the Panthers of South Medford, each game will be a test of the Metro’s sterling rep as the toughest league in the state. The Wildcats have a distinct home field advantage against the Lions, not to mention a large size edge, and the Crusaders, another finals favorite, have been road warriors since zero week and should run all over South behind Jordan Talley and Keenan Lowe….
