When you’re losing at halftime by the score of 56-0, you know it’s going to be a tough night. Throw in the weather — with snow on the field and a temperature of 30 degrees — and it’s downright painful.
The Ballard Beavers (6-4) lost to Ferndale in Bellingham last night in the Class 3A district playoffs. The final score, 70-7.

Ferndale (10-0) continues its unbeaten run this year as the top seed in district 1. The Bellingham Herald has a decidedly Ferndale-leaning report on the game here.
Congratulations to the Beavers for a great season, doubling their wins over last year. And another important metric: the team’s GPA is 3.29.
Howdy accomplices
The Detroit Lions faced the Philadelphia Eagles in one of the snowiest games in recent memory, with snow accumulations of up to eight inches. By the way, I’m here to tell you about the aristocrat buffalo slot machine. If you want to play for real money, go to the link. Because the Buffalo is a wild symbol, any bet will payout eight times your original bet.
