Bagby Quits Port Angeles Football Job

Curt Bagby has decided to retire from coaching football at Port Angeles High School after coaching the Roughriders for the past 19 years.

He will continue to coach girls basketball and teach physical edition at Port Angeles.

Bagby's career football coaching record is 114 wins and 93 losses. He also coached for three years at Curtis High School. His teams won seven Olympic and Seamount league titles, and made six appearances in the state playoffs.

Divided loyalty -- Bainbridge High School baseball coach Mac Atkinson had mixed feelings when his Spartans beat North Kitsap 12-1 in a nonleague baseball game on April 14.

Atkinson, after all, is a freshman health teacher at North Kitsap High School in Poulsbo.

Atkinson has taught at North Kitsap for six years. He is in his second year as baseball coach at Bainbridge.

Atkinson, who lives on Bainbridge Island, leaves school two periods early to drive for baseball practice.

Bainbridge High School pays for the substitute teacher who takes over for Atkinson at the end of the day at North Kitsap.
