Ben your site is tremendous and you are truly a great fan of high school football. I want to help your high school football experience. In two weeks Fortuna and Ferndale meet in the annual milk can game. This is the battle of the Eel River Valley with 2-3 thousand fans (mostly farmers and relatives who work together all week) come to watch the boys battle. It is a great rival game. Both teams have won every game by at least 30 points this year and this is setting up to be the best Milk Can Game ever!!!! I know you have to work and Humboldt County is a long drive but this a game for the ages in Humboldt. Both teams should be 4-0 going in.

That really sounds like a great contest! I'll make sure to put it on the GOTW vote, games rich with history are always high on my priority list. For something like this I would make the drive I think, but I'll have to leave it up to the vote.
With 4-0 on both ends, it should attract some attention.

I agree I went to the Milkcan last year it's a must see experience, both towns show up in full force. Theres nothing better then good football and the best barbeque in Humboldt County.... I'm from Del-Norte so it is painful for me to say it today but I love Ferndale football....But i have alot more respect for Ferndale then I do for Eureka....Ferndale, Fortuna, and Del-Norte are about the tradition of it all.... I feel Eureka is like a three ring Circus they have lots of talent but there never worth the price of admission..
