Washougal High School students and graduates create a "tunnel of honor" for the football team Friday, at Fishback Stadium. Hockinson beat the Panthers 41-7, but Washougal is still 5-1 this season and remains in contention for a playoff spot. Contributed photo by Rene Carroll.

Washougal would like to forget Friday’s 41-7 loss to Hockinson, but coaches told the players they should never forget.

“We didn’t play well in the first half. We made a lot of young team mistakes, which surprised at some levels and other levels didn’t. Hockinson is ranked third in the state. They are for real,” said Washougal head coach Dave Hajek.
