Tiger football teams host Saturday playoff games
Posted October 28, 2022 at 10:35 am by Jeff Arnim
Following a successful season for Friday Harbor Tigers youth football, all three teams will host a first-round playoff game tomorrow at Linde Community Fields.
The Midget team (ages 9-10) kicks off at 11 a.m. against Bellingham, followed by the Juniors (ages 11-12) at 1 p.m. against Bellingham, and the Pee Wees (ages 6-8) at 3 p.m. against Oak Harbor.
The teams enter the playoffs with confidence after strong performances against difficult off-island competition all season.
“Friday Harbor Tiger youth football has historically played against similarly rostered teams from La Conner, Lummi Island, Concrete, Darrington, Lakewood, and Granite Falls,” says Pee Wees coach Juan Unpingco. “But this season, leagues were merged to include Bellingham, Anacortes, Oak Harbor, Mount Vernon, Ferndale, and Sedro Woolley. These teams have twice the number of players and are usually two times the size of our Friday Harbor Tigers.”
Each team rose to the challenge this year, with the Juniors finishing 6-2, the Midgets 7-1, and the Pee Wees 5-3.
Coach Juan encourages the community to come out to the games on Saturday to show its love and support for our hard-working island athletes.
