On June 12 at Cardon Field, the Camas and Washougal high school football players and coaches welcomed the opportunity to play a game against each other for the first time in nearly four years.

“There’s a connection with these kids through youth football,” said Washougal head coach Bob Jacobs. “The rivalry goes back to like 1913. We don’t want to lose that. We’re just in a situation where we need to grow before we can get on a more even playing field.”
