THE OCCASIONAL SIBLING distraction notwithstanding, composite-
leather air bladders prove the center of attention as usual last Saturday
during another of the ongoing episodes of Shelton Rec Basketball in
the Minidome. The sport's young ladies go at it every Saturday as well,
though theirs is the junior-high domicile.

As girls' skid continues
Boys shake Yelm
in triple overtime
It took 'em fully three overtimes
to do it, but the boys of Climber
hoopdom finally shook off pesky
underdog Yelm here Tuesday in
Western Cascade Conference ac-
tion, prevailing 74-70.
Six-four senior all-leaguer Cur-
tis Trondsen led the way with a
season-high 36 points and eight
rebounds. The standout forward
shot 12-18 from two-point range,
3-6 from beyond the arc and 3-4 at
the free-throw line.
"He had a big night," says head
coach Mark Jensen, noting that
the Climbers' leader is among the
top two or three scorers in the en-
tire league.
"You know, people are gettin'
more physical with him and try-
in' t' take him outta games. And
I thought last night he maybe
showed some things that he has
adjusted to. I mean, he stepped
outside; he hit a couple outside.
He hit some midrange stuff. And
he scored inside. So he scored at
all different levels."
ALSO PIVOTAL against Yelm,
says Jensen, were notable contri-
butions off the bench.
"A couple of the young kids came
in and did a really nice job," says
the veteran mentor. "Cuz we were
down ten in the fourth quarter.
And (sophomore forward) Trevor
Peterson did a really nice job, and
I thought (classmate guard) Levi
Sutton did a nice job of running
and gettin' us up and down the
floor.
"Trevor had nine points and got
a couple big steals for us and a big
put-back. So, I mean, it was nice,
cuz it was sort of a team deal. We
got some positive things out of a
lot of different kids."
Coupled with a victory over for-
mer Climber Mel Ninnis and his
Clover Park boys last weekend
following a narrow loss to young-
Owl cagers
still on track
The hoop Owls of Mary M.
Knight played to mixed reviews
the past week but remained on
track for the playoffs all the same.
The girls bowed 47-51 to Lake
Quinault and 56-62 to Taholah
to fall to 8-5 overall and 5-5 in
league. The boys, meanwhile, beat
Quinault 49-46 before losing 55-59
to Taholah. They stood at 9-4 over-
all and 8-3 in league.

but-talented Central Kitsap, the
win boosted Shelton's boys to 10-4
overall and 4-1 in league.
THEIR GIRL counterparts,
meanwhile, saw their records fall
to 5-8 and 2-4, respectively, as ju-
nior all-league guard Brynna Full-
er aggravated her ankle problems
and teams continued to take ad-
vantage of the Climbers' relative
lack of height.
They bowed 44-62 to Yelm, 39-
54 to North Thurston and 45-56 to
Central Kitsap.
"We're getting outrebounded;
that's killing us," says Climber
coach John Wallwork. "And we're
turnin' the ball over just a little
too much at critical moments. And
then we're not shootin' the ball the
way we can."
MENTAL TOUGHNESS is
what it all comes down to, reminds
Coach. And the girls are working
on that - though it's true that they
don't appear to be having a whole
lot of fun doing so.
"You know, basketball is a tough
thing," says Coach. "When things
aren't goin' your way - you're not
shootin' the ball well, you're not
finishin' or you're turnin' the ball
over - it's tough to have fun. You
know? It's like 'What came first?
The chicken or the egg?'
"Do you have fun first and start
playing well, or do you play well
and then the fun comes?"
As for the boys' triple-over-
time nailbiter Tuesday, it's the
most extended varsity game he's
been a part of here, says Jensen,
whose Climber career spans three
decades. "We did one a number
of years ago that was jayvee," he
says. He grins. "But we lost that
one, so this one was better."
