Correction: Nighthawk champs includes Rosalians

Last week’s team caption for the Nighthawk football team which received the academic championship trophy at the Tacoma Dome Dec. 5 unintentionally omitted Rosalia from the team name. The team campaigned in the SE 2B football league as Tekoa/Oakesdale/Rosalia. We apologize.
