Over 4,000 people filled the stands at Viking Stadium while dozens of others were spread all over the field. Not only was it Homecoming which brings with it the annual Senior Run with the Chicken and the announcement of this year’s royalty but the game was televised live on ESPN-U. The Vikes played against the Kamiak Knights, who were undefeated for the season un- til they came up against the mighty Vikings on the brightly lit field and in front of several television cameras and thou- sands of screaming purple and gold fans. The Knights scored one touchdown the entire game in the second quarter. The Vikings, however, scored nine touchdowns and earned every extra point pushing the score up to 63-7. Eason had a terrific night running in one of the touch- downs himself. He threw the ball easily into the open arms of the waiting offensive play- ers. The defense played a strong game as well as keeping the Knights from getting even close to the end zone. The half-time show started with the Lake Stevens High School Band and the cheer- leaders in center field. While they played, this year’s Homecoming Royalty was driven around the track in an- tique cars depositing them in front of their awaiting parents and a welcoming crowd of su- perfans.

Her goal is to make sure that those in need get the help they deserve to be able to pick themselves up, even if it is just one small thing. Christoffersen, who is the Manager of Administration at the Lake Stevens Sewer District, was honored by the Marysville Stake of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on Thursday, Oct. 15. The LDS Church awarded Christoffersen, 56, with the Family Values Award at the Marysville Opera House along with Heidi Hutchins of Granite Falls and Pastor Greg Kanehen of Marysville. The Family Awards here in north Snohomish County is in its second year. The goal is to honor those “who really fought for the fam- ily, had strong family ethics and stood out in the commu- nity,” spokeswoman Christina Foley said.
