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,

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.
