With a new head coach preaching physicality and toughness, the Washougal High School football players take the first step to becoming a harder, better, faster and stronger team Friday.

The Panthers pounce into the 2010 season against the Hudson’s Bay Eagles. The game starts at 7 p.m., at Kiggin’s Bowl in downtown Vancouver. New Washougal head coach Bob Jacobs grits his teeth with anticipation for the opening kick off.

The first game at Fishback is Sept. 17, when Washougal takes on Fort Vancouver.
