Wc have never seen the La

not that good.
Lee informs us to the con

Nampe, Ida., home of the Let

Tigers annexed easily by a 13:0

We can't see Coquille or any
district 3 champ stopping the
Black Tornado and. frankly,
we can't see LaGrande halting
it either, although we have
never seen the Tigers in action.
Consequently, the only thing

fact that we saw Medford pour
