A spirited crowd and homecoming activities made for a fun atmosphere. . . but the North Beach High football team took a loss to Mossyrock. Daily World story:

Vikings 49, Hyaks 6

OYEHUT — Mossyrock capitalized on North Beach’s slow start to wallop the Hyaks in non-league play Friday at Oyehut.

It just looks like hazing, or torture (or both) — this was a sundae-on-the-fly making contest, at the high school today. Part of “Spirit Week,” as the school gets fired up for the homecoming football game against Mossyrock tonight at 7.

North Beach runners do well in a multi-school event at Onalaska:

The mother of the adorable cheerleader-in-training Ella is Holly Johnson (not Molly, as was incorrectly written in the cutline to this photo in this week’s NCN).

Jennifer Law loses a tight match, 9-7. No State title, but she’ll still have a shot at third place.

Brackets from the “Mat Classic” State Championship at the Tacoma Dome have been announced. The two-day tournament begins tomorrow. North Beach High is in the 1B/2B category.

Dominic Deibel, at 119 pounds, is the first North Beach wrestler scheduled, with a 10:40 a.m. start time. He will be followed by: Anthony Tignino (125), 10:56 a.m.; Robert Buck (171), 12:48 p.m.; Sawyer Reed (285), 1:28 p.m.; and Jennifer Law (152, girls division), 12:08. Tyler Reed, an alternate at 189 pounds, needs a cancellation to get a shot at a State championship.

These North Beach High wrestlers are off to the State championship tournament, Friday and Saturday at the Tacoma Dome.

The school will send them off tomorrow morning at 9:15.
