This week’s Captain’s Helmet Sticker Awards - Ben Petersen & Kiefer Furness.
Kiefer also had a chance to share the challenges he’s faced & overcome this season after being diagnosed with diabetes.
Tough one tonight for the Bears.7-3 loss to Kentlake. Congrats to the Falcons on a hard fought game.
Update on Gabe, he is showing improvement & will be heading home soon.
Congrats to James Mathews (Linfield), Kaleb Leonard (Laney), & Tayvian Williams (Laney). Our three players were part of today’s celebration of Bears who will continue their athletic careers at the college level.
Awesome morning at UW spring practice. Proud of Bear alums DeShon & Amandre Williams along with KW alum Josiah Bronson. After practice a chance to meet with All State game coaching staff.
Congrats to James Mathews & his family. James represented Tahoma Football as our nominee for National Football Foundation Scholar Athlete of the Year Award at this morning’s banquet.
Have to recognize

@CleatsV
the event it’s become. Proud of what he’s done as a father - making something positive out of a horrible situation and showing us all how to fight for our kids.
Bear family, these situations are tragic. Be there for each other & reach out when you’re struggling.
Thoughts & prayers to Tyler’s family & the Cougar FB family.
No words to describe the tragedy coming out of Pullman tonight. I can hear
@SteveBodwell

Your impact on the young men who were able to participate in the game you created is immeasurable.
You made it about giving back and the cause of curing cancer & everyone involved is better for it.
Raising $$ for cancer research, on the football field where rivals became teammates and friends, and the lessons from football made everyone a winner-that is a hell of a legacy. RIP

One of Tahoma’s treasures retired today. Blessed to have been her partner in our athletic department for 12 years. Few people have had the genuine care, love, & positive impact on students & staff that Sue Belleville has blessed us with. Thanks for all you’ve done for Tahoma HS.
