VOLUME 6, NUMBER 207
Saturday, October 4, 2025
Good morning, Philomath.
Philomath High has a Division I football player with CD Nuño’s verbal commitment to Boise State. I talked to him about it yesterday and his decision is the lead in my Three Things column, which also includes items about Philomath’s recent appearance on TV and a local student who won a photography contest. The Warriors lost a tough one at Crescent Valley, however, by a 20-15 count and we have coverage from myself and photographer Andy Cripe. Plus, a story about the middle school planning to restore its gym floor, the latest OSP Log and much more. — Brad Fuqua, Publisher/Editor
