TOUGH START: Creswell hosted Northside in its season opener on Friday. The game, which started off in rainy conditions, did not go the way of the Tigers. Even though they fell, 47-0, to start the season, the team did so with plenty of dignity. They withstood a strong rushing offense from the Panthers, a handful of injuries, but were still sportsmanlike throughout the contest. (MICHAEL PRUNKA | WASHINGTON DAILY NEWS)
