Owls suffer first league loss at Taholah Journal photo by Dean Siemon Mary M. Knight High School's Kyle Wil- Icy led the team with 14 points at Taholah High School on Saturday. By DEAN SIEMON A f0ur-game 1B Coastal League winning streak held by the Mary M. Knight High School boys basketball team was snapped at Taholah High School on Saturday in a 57-51 loss. The Owls (5-4, 4-1 1B Coastal League) led after the first quarter 14-12, but were outscored 20-15 in the second quarter. "We got in a little foul trouble there," said Owls head Coach Tim Diggle. "My big guys had to sit." Mary M. Knight's scoring leader, Scan Sexton, was held to three points againt the Chitwins (10-5, 5-0 1B Coastal League). "They were doubling and tripling him," Diggle said. "Just took him out of it. Too much pressure for him I think." But Kyle Willey led the Owls with 14 points in what Diggle said was one of his better games of the season. "My guys off my bench did well for me," Diggle said. "But my main power is my big guys." Taholah used a mixture of half-court press and three- quarters court press to cre- ate 28 turnovers against the Owls. "We would break the press but we just lost con- trol I guess," Diggle said. Mary M. Knight coverted only 15 out of 26 free throws, in addition to struggling of- fensively inside the paint. "We just missed too many free throws and layups in crunch time," Diggle said. "Can't win shooting that low." Even after losing first place to Taholah, Diggle found a moral victory in los- ing by six points to a team that has averaged winning their other league games by more than 20 points per game. "We played our best game of the season, even though we lost," Diggle said. "It's a small bump. We'll get them at home." On Friday, the Owls de- feated Wishkah Valley High School at home, 48-37. Sexton led the Owls with 15 points, The Owls were outscored 10-4 in the third quarter.

After gaining support from the school's Associated Student Board and school leadership team, a commu- nity meeting has been sched- uled at 6:30 p.m., Wednes- day, March 2;'at~ the North Ma~on High School Audito- rium-: ~ -- ............ Pugh retired after the 2009 season after 27 seasons as head coach of the football team. He was also the head coach for track and field for 22 years. Mark Swofford, athletic director at North Mason, said a group of former play- ers approached the North Mason School District's Older adults who are pre- scribed the use of walkers and canes should not be shy about having them properly fitted and asking for help in using them properly.

"He's the one that really started everything," Swof- ford said. The school board revised Policy 6970 and Procedure 6970B to "allow a path to follow in attempting to re- name the facility," Swofford said. "The criteria is now 25 years," Swofford said. Swofford wrote in a press release sent to the Journal that the community meet- ing is set to determine the amount of support for hon- oring the former Bulldogs' coach in this honor. Swofford said one of the topics will be whether to name only the football sta- dium or the entire complex which includes the track. 'TCould it be Phil Pugh Stadium or Phil Pugh Com- plex?" Swofford said ........ If necessary, NMHS prin- cipal Chad Collins will pre- pare the report to submit to superintendent David Peter- son. According to the release, once Peterson approves the naming of the stadium, it will be submitted as a rec- ommendation to the school board. Swofford said if accepted, the newly named stadium would include a new en- trance and ticket area to be built in the summer. "We would hope to have it done by the start of the sea- son," he said.
