Many congratulations to the Arcata High Tigers football squad, who made history by winning the North Coast Section’s Division 6 championship on Saturday, at home, by a score of 28-21.

Your best coverage of the game can be found on Ray Hamill’s website, HumboldtSports.com, and if you want the drive-by-drive, stand-by-stand recap, that’s where you want to go.

But if you want a blast of emotion from the game, Best Friend o’ the LoCO Tex Kelly — a former AHS quarterback himself! — was at the game taking photos and videos, including the one above, which he agreed to share with us.

Check out Kelly’s really nice photo spread at his website.

The Tigers now move on to the state championship bracket. According to Hamill, they’re facing off against Winters High School on 7:30 p.m., on Winters’ home turf. If they win that game, it’s on to the state AA championship weekend after next.

ALL HAIL TIGERS. We showed the whole, wide world this is Tiger Territory.
