Alumni football at Fishback Stadium

On Sunday, Sept. 25, two Alumni Football USA games are going to be played at Fishback Stadium in Washougal.

Washington State Director Phil Weber is looking for former Camas, Washougal, Heritage and Battle Ground high school students to play against each other. The games are open to all alumni in their late teens, 20’s, 30’s, 40’s and up. Alumni Football USA supplies all of the equipment and officials.

“This is all about giving these guys one more chance to play football,” Weber said. “It will be the time of their lives.”

After months of corresponding by telephone or e-mail, Weber and the alumni players met face-to-face for the first time Sunday.

“It was a thrill for me to finally meet the guys I have been talking to all summer. It puts a face to all the names and phone numbers,” Weber said. “We all feel like we have a good plan in place. Camas is already scheduling practices. It’s just great when you find people who have a willingness to make these games happen.”
