Friday night lights

It's that time of year when students are cracking open their text books ... and that means high school football is starting all over the state. Check out a flash back from 80 years ago, when the Olympia Bears hosted the Vancouver Trappers on Thanksgiving Day in 1929. The teams are seen playing on Stevens Field, since Olympia High School, then located across the street from the state capitol building, had no field of its own. The game’s final score: 14-0 Bears.
