When the La Conner and Orcas Island football teams meet, it will be the first time Mike Compton and Dennis Dahl have squared off against each other as football head coaches, but hardly the first time they’ve competed against each other.

In the late 1960s and early 1970s, Compton went to Western Washington University and Dahl to Central Washington University. The two squared off against each other in football and rugby.

They were also on their schools’ wrestling team, though they competed in different weight classes.

Since then, the two have remained friends, Compton said.

“We talk all the time,” Compton said. “When he’s come over from the island he’s stayed over at my house some times.”
