Klickitat and Lyle clinched District 5 Class B tournament berths last weekend and will meet this Friday in a game with district-seeding implications.
The Vandals are 5-5 in Greater Columbia B League play entering the final weekend of the regular season while the Cougars are 4-6.
Klickitat won the first meeting at Lyle. It hosts Friday's rematch.
If Klickitat wins, it goes to district--which starts next Tuesday in Goldendale--as the Klickitat County Division's No. 1 seed, an honor that includes a first-round bye.
A Lyle victory would create a tie for the division crown, which, for seeding purposes, would be broken by a drawing of numbers.
