Port Townsend: 3-0 start buoys first family of football

Published 12:01 am Friday, September 26, 2003

PORT TOWNSEND — Bette Fountain knows just what her grandsons are going to do after Thanksgiving dinner.

Play football.

The holiday may be two months away but there’s no question the post-turkey pigskin potluck will continue in 2003.

“The football tradition in our family goes back a long way,” Fountain says.

Back so far, in fact, it’s practically a pillar of the Port Townsend High School football team.

Five of Fountain’s grandsons play on this year’s Redskins team, which is off to a 3-0 start, ranked seventh in the state Class 2A poll and hosts Eatonville tonight at 7 at Jefferson County Memorial Athletic Field.
