Join Us in Honoring Hoquiam Football History!

The City of Hoquiam invites our community to a special ceremony at Olympic Stadium honoring former Hoquiam Coach Jack Swarthout and former quarterback Jack Elway prior to kickoff of the Grizzlies’ Senior Night game against Tenino this Friday. The ceremony will begin promptly at 6:30 pm. The National Anthem will be performed by Jack Swarthout's daughter, Sandi Swarthout.

Swarthout and Elway helped develop concepts behind the modern spread offense while playing and coaching at Olympic Stadium in the late 1940s. Their innovative work continues to influence college and professional football today and is detailed in Bart Wright’s book Football Revolution. For more details see the story published in the Daily World found here: https://www.thedailyworld.com/2026/10/12/hoquiams-olympic-stadium-to-celebrate-the-birthplace-of-the-football-revolution/

Members of the Swarthout and Elway families will be in attendance as we celebrate their legacy and Olympic Stadium’s special place in football history.

Fans, alumni, former players, and community members are encouraged to join us for this memorable tribute. Go Grizzlies!
