FLYONTHESIDELINE .I Well, this was a disappointing weekend for Mason County foot- ball fans across the board. On Friday night, North Mason lost 38-13 to Sumner, ending its season. The Bulldogs tried hard throughout the game, but couldn't score against Spartans, very few of whom played both ways on the field. This put North Mason at a distinct disadvantage as nearly all of the Bull- dogs play both ways and were therefore constantly up against fresh players on the field. Next, on Saturday afternoon, Mary M. Knight lost 34-26 to Taholah to take sec- ond place in the 1B Coast League. I'm not real sure what happened in this game. The Owls came out and they seemed pretty evenly matched with Taholah. Then the Chitwins dominated the second and third quarters and the Owls' fourth quarter comeback ran out of time to close the gap. Finally, Shelton ended its season on Saturday night in Seattle with a 19-6 defeat to Nathan Hale. The Highclimbers seemed to shoot them- selves in the foot for most of this game, committing far more penalties than By EMILY they normally do and suf- HANSON fering the consequences for doing so. I was at all three games and let me tell you, none of them ended the way I'd hoped they would. However, the football season is not over yet for Mason County. Although North Mason and Shelton are both out of the postseason now, the Knight Owls are set to play in a pigtail playoff this weekend. This will be the second time in school history that MMK's football team has Though they play eight-man football, they do it with the heart of 11 men. made the postseason. At 4 p.m. on Sat- urday, the Owls will meet with Lopez Island on the gridiron at Oak Harbor High School on Whidbey Island and I'll be there. I've seen a lot of good things from the Owls this season. Though they play eight-man football, they do it with the heart of 11 men. Those boys go out on the field and they're positive the entire game. They don't back talk the officials or argue with their coaches, they just get in posi- tion and do their jobs. They had an accurate quarterback in Kyle Willey, speed in Juan Jimenez and Adam Pals and sure hands with Nick Di- erkop and Cory O'Neil. Their defense doesn't play dirty and always helps their opponents back up af- ter a hit. These are all reasons why I enjoy watching the Knight Owls play and why I think other people in Mason County would enjoy watching them as well. Matlock is a small community, but its fans travel to their games and root on their team. I'm hoping more people from the Shelton and Belfair areas will decide to continue supporting Mason County football by making a trip to Whidbey Is- land this weekend. Who knows, maybe if the Knight Owls get enough support, they'll take down Lopez Island and head into the quar- terfinals of the 1B WIAA State Football Championships the following week. Stranger things have happened.
