three Mason County high school
football teams are headed to post-
season and I am, to sum it up, stoked.

the 1B Coastal League championship on
Saturday and will then play in a pigtail
playoff game next weekend.

the Knight Owls will finish the regular
season undefeated and will then play
the No. 4 Northwest District I team in
the pigtail. If that works out, head coach
