VOLUME 4, NUMBER 197
Saturday, September 9, 2023
Good afternoon. In the newsletter today: Philomath High’s football team didn’t get much of a challenge last night in a 48-0 victory over Newport. The Cubs are in a down cycle right now and competing in Class 3A after petitioning down. The performance was filled with big plays and a confidence builder for the Warriors. The newsletter today is a little short on local news as I spend time this weekend with family from out of state.
Thanks for reading!
