Gar/Pal pauses football; rest of Southeast 1B appears stable

No football team will play this fall for Garfield/Palouse High School.

After seven senior players graduated last Saturday, the number of interested kids was too low to field an eight-man team. Scott Thompson, athletic director, and other school officials made the decision not to have a team in 2019.

The Garfield, Palouse and Pullman school boards are now in the process of approving a combine to allow Garfield/Palouse students to go out for football at Pullman High School.

Combines may be set for up to four-year cycles, through the WIAA, and may be dissolved at any time.

Is this the first time...
