rnal SHSBOWLING Journal photo by Dean Siemon Shelton High School's Brittany Chamberlin is one of three seniors that led the Highclimbers to the WIAA State Girls Bowling Championships on Friday and Saturday at Narrows Plaza Bowl in University Place. By DEAN SIEMON Shelton High School girls bowling returned to the WIAA State Champion- ships on Friday and Satur- day at Narrows Plaza Bowl in University Place, finish- ing fourth place overall and leaving with hardware. Emerald Ridge High School won their third straight state champion- ship with a total of 7,253, followed by Rogers (Puyal- hip) High School with 6,678. Shelton had 6,538. The Highclimbers started the first day slow with a first game total of 725 before combining for 709 in the sec- ond game. But Shelton began to change the lineup in the third game with a total of 873, closing the game from first place Emerald Ridge to 79 pins. Freshman Caitlyn Borys stepped in for senior Lynzee Johnson, who bowled only 78 in her first game and 84 in her second. "Dang, I hated to do that," said Curt Snyder, Shelton, head coach. Borys did well in her first full game on Friday, con- tributing 147 in the third regular game for Shelton. "I watchd her [Borys] in practice and compared her to Lynzee and she did well," Snyder said. Shelton finished the first day in fourth place after fin- ishing the fourth game 729, the fifth game 722 and the sixth 729. Sophomore Danielle Ew- led Shelton with a six- game series with a total of 1,081 and finsihed seventh overall individually. "She was just more fo- cused," Snyder said. During Saturday's bak- er games, Shelton started strong once again with a 187 and 183. But the High- climbers bowled in the 130 range the next four games, falling from second to fourth overall. Shelton fell to fifth place after the llth baker game, where Shelton rolled 129, followed by Heritage's 154 and Puyallup High School's 149. But the Highclimbers finished with a score of 160 in their final baker game to keep fourth place, beating out Puyallup. "We should have bowled better," said Brittany Chamberlin, one of three Shelton seniors (along with Lynzee Johnson and Mack- enzie Chakos). But a few Highclimbers struggled with the "shark" oil patter at the tourna- ment, which was discussed between coaches and offi- cials during, according to multiple sources. Bowlers and coaches com- plained that there was too much oil on the lanes that caused problems in spin-. ning the ball. "This is a professional oil pattern," Snyder said, who said it wasn't the fact that the pattern was used at the tournament, "But why would you only do that at the tournament at the end of they year," he said. With the oil pattern con- troversy aside, Snyder said See Bowling on page C-6 Highclimbers return home en route to Mat Classic By DEAN SIEMON Nine Shelton High School wrestlers advanced to the 4A Regionals after the team finished second at the Nar- rows League Champion- ships on Friday and Satur- day at Foss High School in Tacoma. Shelton finished with 240.5 team points, runner up to South Kitsap High School at 392 points. The team goal was second or better at the league tour- nament, which head coach Chris Lacy said was a team effort, led by five grapplers in the championship round. "We had 21 wrestlers in the bracket," Lacy said. "All of those wrestlers helped make that [team goal] hap- pen." Three Shelton wrestlers earned league champion- ships in their weight class- es, including junior Ty Mc- Cullough. Last season's 103-pound league champion defeated South Kitsap's Colin Bryant at 112 pounds this season via injury default. McCullough led the match at 7-3 in the third round before Bryant hurt his head and could not con- tinue the match. McCullough, who was the lone Highclimber to the state tournament, said there was an advantage in having faced Bryant many times in his high school career. "We set up a gameplan earlier," McCullough said. "Just be patient and wait for something to show up and not force anything." Lacy said McCullough's success this eason is just him being the steadiest and consistant wrestler this sea- son. "He's Ty McCullough is what it corned down to," Lacy said. "We're lucky to have him on the team." Sophomore Jakeob Gar- rick defeated Central Kitsap High School's Joey Troyer in a 18-13 decision at 125 pounds in a back and forth match that included several takedowns and reversals. "I wanted to circle left but Coach Lacy noticed I was getting taken down," Gar- See Climbers on page C-6 Journal photo by Dean Siemon Ty McCullough is one of nine Shelton High School wrestlers that will return to Shelton for the 4A Region III tournament on Saturday, Feb.. 12, after winning a league title at Foss High School last Saturday. Journal photo by Dean Siemon North Mason High School's Austin Casteel at- tempts a jump shot over two Klahowya Second- ary School defenders during Friday's home loss. By DEAN SIEMON Not exactly the expected result for senior night as North Mason High School boys basketball team lost their home finale against Klahowya Second- ary School on Friday, 56-47. With only a minute left in the game, Bulldog fans started to chant "Now we're even!" After Friday's game, North Mason (5-15, 4-12 1A/2A/3A Olympic League) and Klahowya (5-14, 4-12 Olympic League) are tied for the fifth and final 2A playoff spot out of the league. Both teams then lost their Tues- day games, forcing a 2A sub-district play-in tiebreaker for Wednesday at the neutral Bremerton High School (played after the Journal's press dead- line). "If we want to play another game, we have to do our job," said Steve Hackett, North Mason head coach. North Mason struggled during Kla- howya's 20-4 run in the first quarter right out of the gate shooting one out of 15 field goals, missing 12 in a row. "It was like there was a lid [on the basket]," Hackett said. The Bulldogs combined for five out of 32 in the first half and 18 of 67 over- all. The Eagles were able to shoot from long distance, shooting seven out of 17 from behind the arc. "You can't make any execuses," howya]." North Mason was able to cut down on the 22-6 deficit before halftime, starting the second quarter on a 9-0 run in the first six minutes. .... But the Eagles won the second half iI: i !:!: on the free throw line, converting 11 out of 15 foul shots in the half. North Mason hung around a 10-point deficit most of the third and fourth quarter despite creating 10 turnovers. One of the turnovers led to a Gar- rett Burley breakaway, but he missed a dunk attempt that was quickly re- bounded by Klahowya. :: :::! :: Hackett was not too critical about Hackett said.
