Nault thinks the Loggers have a good chance of winning the tournament. After being invited to this tournament, the team received a lot of support from the comnmnity. At a fundraising auction in No- vember, $4,500 was raised for the team's travel expenses. The team also received a sponsorship from Seattle Shellfish for its own jerseys -- the girls played wearing the boys' jerseys last year. Another sponsorship came from Our Community Credit Union, which purchased equipment bags for the team. "We're always looking to help out com- munity organizations and sports teams," Marketing Officer Andrew Bertrand said. "Sports is a big jumping field for business ~because a lot of what you learn on the field helps out in the business world." For the last two years, Our Community Credit Union has also sponsored two team banners. Each banner supports one ath- lete on the team. Brian Nesmith said the Shel- Nault ton team has made a lot of waves, being a one-school team garnering an invite. "Walking onto the field from a town like Shelton to go against the best teams in the country, I'm not sure how we'll do," he add- ed. "It's more about experience and I'm just stoked to be going." The Shelton girls on the team are Ball, Diandra Nault, Britney Young, Crystal Tinnerstet, Katie Chapman, Hollie Brown, Ivanna Bell, Haily Cougher, Kaytlyn Wise- man and Sabrina Dennis. Nesmith also recruited Megan Johnson from the Olympia team.
