Editor,

I am an alumna of Marysville-Pilchuck High School. Today I heard that the M-P football team took a trip up to Oak Harbor to give you guys the trophy, have pizza together and throw the football around.

I just wanted to say thank you so much to both teams and their coaches. What you guys are doing is bigger than you. It affects us all. Ever since Friday, Oct. 24, thoughts of what happened and the anguish they bring are hard to escape. But what you are doing gives us all something heroic and wonderful to think about — something that brings tears of joy.

I just wanted to say thank you, and we are all so proud of you. Go Tomahawks and go Wildcats.
