Braves open against Forks Saturday

The La Conner High School football team has its season debut against Forks at Whittaker Field Saturday, Sept. 10.

Second-year mentor Charlie Edwards’ team will spread the field and rely on speed and athleticism.

The home team will be looking to capitalize on potential game-breakers like junior Tommy Murdock, the reigning state 300-meter hurdles champion.

The Braves are looking to benefit from an extra week of preparation as their Sept. 3 non-conference home opener with Morton-White Pass was taken off the schedule. Kickoff is 2 p.m.
