TRICO CHAMPS CTopl Doug Cox C409 and Allen Peake C443 take a well deserved breather dur- ing the Castle Rock contest. CBottoml We did it! All hell breaks loose as the Panthers take the Trico crown and qualify for the State Play offs, defeating Castle Rock 21-14. The Panthers turned what started as a fiasco into the most productive football season in a long time. After two crush- ings at the hands of Chehalis and Camas Coach Pettyjohn realigned his team. The new Panthers debuted against Rainier, showing a powerful offense and stingy defense. These two keys carried the Panthers to big wins against their first four Trico foes. The VVashougal team went into their final league contest, tied for first place with a physical Castle Rock Team. This homecoming game meant a league title and a State playoff berth. VVashougal started off quickly, as Jon Friedrich tossed a pass to IVIike Goin and ran for another. Friedrich later scored the deciding points on a Half Back pass from Dan lVlcEnry. The 21-14 victory gave the Panthers their first Trico Crown in four years. Varsity Football 43
