Tumwater names Otton Field

Tumwater High School renamed its football field Sid Otton Field to honor Coach Otton who retired last year after 43 years of coaching at Tumwater. Coach Otton, who was raised in Lewiston, headed the Bulldogs at Colfax before moving on to Tumwater.

A photo from the Sept. 14 observance shows Otton's name along the sideline of the field at Tumwater.

Otton is a member of the 1962 class at Lewiston High School. His mother Glenette, 100, still resides in Lewiston with his brother, Jim Otton. She was a former long-time teacher at Clarkston.

One of Coach Otton's grandsons is a freshman on the University of Washington football team.
