Taking the snap at his own 1...

After the way the Cards dominated Pilot Rock, Ore., in a 35-21 victory that wasn't nearly as close as the final tally, the answer might be: only the color of the uniforms.

WP Head Football Coach Wants To Revive Youth Football For His Team's Future W AITSBURG -- Our youth football program has taken a hit these past two years and this concerns me in a great way. The Waitsburg Giants had two programs (Little Giants and Giants) has had a great tradition over the years. When I first arrived in the fall of 1999 this program was on solid ground. Danny Cole and Dick Largent had the older Giants team on a roll year after year, and if I remember right, they coached a full 10 years together. It was a passion they shared...

WAITSBURG - Waitsburg Prescott took on perennial Oregon powerhouse Heppner here Friday night and did more than win. The Cardinals laid a 41-6 beatdown on the Mustangs that served notice to the rest of the states' 2B schools that WP's quest for a repeat championship isn't hype. It's real. And it wasn't just the point differential that impressed. It was the nearly flawless passing attack (one incompletion in 13 attempts), and the stifling defense that yielded just 188 yards on the night-just...
