The sports enthusiasts predicted back in August that Clark County would have up to two teams playing in Husky Stadium in one of the state championship football games.
Turns out, they were correct.
This week, we discuss the Class 4A title game, featuring Camas, and the 1A title game, featuring Seton Catholic.
Plus we take a look back at the 2004 season when Evergreen became the first big school to win a state football title from Clark County. That team was coached by our own Cale Piland.
Our podcast format is simple: A longtime sports reporter (Paul Valencia) discusses high school sports, and more, with longtime sports administrators and former coaches. Cale Piland is the former head football coach at Evergreen and Union and is now the athletic director for Evergreen Public Schools. Tony Liberatore is a former assistant coach and athletic director at Columbia River and is now an associate principal at Fort Vancouver.
