North Mason's football team kept its season alive with two of its biggest stars playing key roles in a 18-15 victory over Washington on Tuesday, Oct. 3 in a Class 2A district play-in game at Franklin Pierce High School in Tacoma. Senior quarterback Reid Shumaker tossed a pair of touchdown passes to senior receiver Derek Dunham as the Bulldogs rallied for a 18-15 victory. North Mason (6-4) will advance to the Round of 32 and face Anacortes (7-1) on the road Saturday at 3 p.m. Anacortes won back-to-back state titles in 2024-25 and reached the semifinal round last fall.
