The Mary M. Knight football team
dropped a 56-28 Coastal 1B League, Dis-
trict 4 contest at Taholah on Oct. 29.
The Chitwhins improved to 4-0 in
league contests, and 5-2 overall in com-
pleting the league slate undefeated.
Dylan James tossed a pair of touch-
down passes to Tom Anderson for Taholah,
which raced to a 36-12 lead at halftime.
Sophomore Austin Friese did a little
bit of everything on offense for Mary
M. Knight (0-4, 0-6-1). He caught two
passes for 78 yards, including a 55-yard
touchdown heave from sophomore quar-
terback Jason Shaw. Friese also ran for
56 yards on four carries and was 4-for-ll
passing for 33 yards.
Quentin Narrance added a 5-yard
rushing touchdown for the Knight Owls
and Shaw finished 7-for-21 through the
air for 83 yards.
Mary M. Knight will travel for a state
1B playoff pigtail contest at Quilcene at
1 p.m. Saturday. The Knight Owls ad-
vanced to postseason play by taking the
spot earned by the Washington School
for the Deaf, which decided not to par-
ticipate playoff action. The Rangers
blanked Mary M. Knight 52-0 in the sea-

MY VIEW
e
Much of my passion for
sports stems from how
they create unions,
built of people who otherwise
might not see eye-to-eye. Noth-
ing draws those with entirely
different belief systems to-
gether quite
like a shared
love of a
professional,
college or
high school
sports team.
And there's
no doubt in

bond I hold
with my
family has only been strength-
ened through the years by a
mutual allegiance for teams
passed down through the fam-
ily for generations.
With that in mind, I think
it's finally time for my beloved
Cleveland Indians to retire
their iconic cartoon mascot
known as Chief Wahoo, as he
perpetuates a negative ste-
reotype of those from a proud
culture, who for far too long
have been treated as less than
second-class citizens.
Not so long ago, I would've
given anyone willing to listen a
concise and well-rehearsed ar-
gument as to why the smiling,
red-faced Native American cari-
cature, one of the most iden-
tifiable logos in all of sports,
should remain on the team's
officially licensed gear. And to
be more precise, why I should
have no regrets in proudly
wearing the symbol on hats,
jerseys, jackets and sweat-
shirts. I used to feel so strongly
in favor of Chief Wahoo, I got
his likeness tattooed on my left
thigh 24 years ago.
For years I turned a blind
eye to the obviously racist un-
dertones of the depiction of an
American Indian male, with his
toothy, goofy grin and bright
red skin tone, as I wore a Chief
