First step for Panther football

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.
