Meeting the People on the Coast - A Football Game at Warrenton High School!!

September 16, 2007, 10:09 am by Merle McGee, Categories: On the Road, People on the Road, Road Food, Up the Coast  

Being from Western Pennsylvania, and avid football fans we were going through withdrawal because of the lack of sports viewing on the trip. So the natural thing for men to do was to take in a Friday Night High School football game. We landed in the town of Warrenton, Oregon to watch the Warrenton Warriors play Portland Christian Academy. What a nostalgic time it was as Portland seemed to have the upper hand in talent and size. You don’t believe me do you?? Well take a look:

The Game

The Food - Sausage, onions, potatoes, carrots, and other? All boiled together to make garbage can stew. (Jere and Van ate some!!)

l

And The People!!

Meet Brandon Stallsworth, a senior at Warrenton H.S. and DeeJ Hardwick- who is home-schooled and will be off to college soon . What a delightful couple - Brandon’s dad is the Chief of Police and involved in various businesses. Brandon works for his dad between being a student.

l

We wish both of them the best of luck living the life in Warrenton, Oregon.

Oh Yeah, unfortunately Warrenton lost 35-7 but put up a great fight.

With our hunger for sports satisfied, we said good-bye to Warrenton and headed north toward Seattle.
