Youth football is quite popular here in Del Norte County.

So popular, in fact, that for the first time in Del Norte Youth Football history there were six youth teams this season.

This included three teams in  single A, the youngest division. This group consists of kids mainly from 8 to 10 years old with a few 11-year-olds that weigh under 70 pounds also taking part.

“It’s growing,” A White team  head coach Jesse Puente said about DNYF, adding that he has  kids who are one year away from being able to play who come up to him and say, “Hey coach, I’ll be ready to play next year.”

This season the A White squad was added to meet the demand. The team has come together in such a way that it has made it all the way to the Six Rivers Youth Football title game in the A division. On Sunday they face undefeated South Fork.

The White squad, which ended the regular season 6-2, was the No. 3 seed in the playoffs. They won their first round playoff game and the next week upset the No. 2 seeded Redwood  Knights 13-7 last Sunday in Crescent City to earn the right to play for the championship.

Gustafson enjoys experience at championship

Warrior sophomore falls to top seed

The luck of the draw presented quite the challenge for Kathryn Gustafson.

The Del Norte High sophomore was competing at the girls tennis Northcoast Section singles championship in Santa Rosa on Tuesday and did not find out until that morning who she would play  a short time later.

The top four seeds were already decided, with the rest chosen randomly from the remaining 12 girls.

As luck would have it, Gustafson drew Brooke Irish of Amador Valley, the No. 1 seed.

While Gustafson lost 6-0, 6-0,   she was pleased with how things turned out.

“It was a good experience for me,” Gustafson said during a phone interview on her way home Tuesday afternoon. “It gave me more of a challenge. I enjoyed playing a higher level of player.”
