WRESTLING
Continued from page B-1
"Gill wrestled an ex-
cellent tournament,"
Lacy said. "We are hop-
ing for a rematch of the
finals next weekend.
Some tactical adjust-
ments will make a big
difference."
Lacy said Salisbury
was excited to reach the
championship bout for
the first time in his ca-
reer.
"Chase was dominant
in all of his matches, in-
cluding the final," Lacy
added. "A little more
technical focus in the
finals w. ould have. led
to Chase's first league
championship."
This was Olivas' first
tournament after near-
ly a monthlong break
because of a back in-
jury.
"Benny wrestled great
in the neutral position,"
Lacy said. "Several small
adjustments in his mat
wrestling will lead to big
wins over the next two
weekends."
Finally, Lacy said
Gaspar came back to the
team with a vengeance
after being out of compe-
tition since the middle of
December.
"Every match he
wrestled was close and
tough," Lacy said. "He
had opportunities to win
in the finals but came,up
• just a little short."
Gaspar competed in
three matches. His op-
ponents of those match-
es took first, third and
fourth.
"It was a-great tour-
nament for Hector," Lacy
said.
The top four wrestlers
will advance to Mat Clas-
sic XXVI, the WIAA State
Championship wrestling
tournament Feb. 21 and
22 at the Tacoma Dome.
SIDELINE

Shelton may have
lost senior night to
Lincoln 52-31, but the
Lady Highclimbers won
the physical physical
element of the game,
according to what the
Lincoln coach told Leth
after the game.
The second half was
particularly well played.
Shelton was out-
scored 15-10 in the
third quarter and only
10-9 in the fourth.
This may seem like
a moot point now that
basketball season is
over, but spring sports
start in just a few
weeks. I'd like to see
more fans out to sup-
port the efforts of their
classmates.
And here's some-
thing to keep in mind:
At the beginning of
this football season,
Russell Wilson asked
the Seattle Seahawks:
"Why not us?"
Perhaps if Shelton
fans asked themselves
that about their own
teams, those teams
could find more success.
LADY OWLS
Continued from page B-1
Lauren Dierkop added
seven points and had 13 re-
bounds. Sowle scored six points
and Snyder contributed three
points.
The Lady Owls ended their
week with a 50-48 victory Fri-
day at Lake Quinault.
"We started out the game a
little sluggish on offense and
very timid," Valley said. "Lake
Quinault came out in a very ag-
gressive man-to-man defense
and we were a little shocked."
He said Mary M. Knight's
defense kept the team in the
game in the first half.
At halftime, the game was
tied at 18 points.
"In the second half, we start-
ed being more aggressive with
the ball and attacking the bas-
ket," Valley said. "Our offense
woke up the second half, but
our defense had a little let-
down. We have to be more con-
sistent with our play on offense
and defense."
He said Lake Quinault killed
the Lady Owls on rebounds.
Kiliz made two free throws
to seal the victory for Mary M.
Knight.
Snyder led the team with 13
points, six rebounds and three
steals. Sowle added 11 points
and had seven rebounds, eight
steals and six assists.
Adsero and Kiliz scored nine
points each.

North Mason head girls' basketball coach Dave Hawkins talks to the team Friday night during its senior night home game
against Klahowya.

night home game.
LADY BULLDOGS
Continued from page B-1
"Klahowya got down a couple
points in the fourth quarter and
the more we slowed the game
down, the more we were able
to get buckets and the more
Klahowya struggled," Hawkins
said.
A driving force of the Lady
Bulldogs' victory came from ju-
nior Mikaela Shumaker. She
led the team with 16 points and
eight steals. She scored at least
six points off of steals.
"They had nobody who could
cover Mikaela. We've been try-
ing to get Mikaela to finish on
steals," Hawkins said. "It was
really nice to see her get blasted,
score the layup and then get the
foul shot and realize she wasn't
hurt."
The biggest moment of the
game, Hawkins said, came from
junior Quincy Satran late in the
game.
"I thought Quincy Satran re-
ally came out on top," Hawkins
said. "She hit a big 3 in the
fourth to put us up by seven.
That really broke Klahowya's
backs."
Satran netted 10 points.
The victory came three
Mason County Journal -
nights after Kingston defeated
the Lady Bulldogs 61-29.
"We started the game a bit
depleted with three or four girls
being ill and we were unable
to get things going," Hawkins
said. "Kingston is one of the top
teams in the 2A Olympic League
and we couldn't play anything
but our best to be in the game
and we didn't."
Shumaker led with "10 points
while Satran scored nine.
Friday night, Hawkins said
he spoke with Shumaker after
the loss to Kingston.
"One of the things she said
was that she was really look-
ing forward to next season,"
Hawkins said. "She said she
couldn't see the team improve
over time last season, but that
she sees it this year."
He called Shumaker and Sa-
tran the backbone of the Lady
Bulldogs' team, adding that
freshman Lacey Stark, Jaden
Left and Sydney Garrett play
like older athletes.
"I'm really proud of these
girls," Hawkins said. "It's a long,
hard year when you're not win-
ning, but they played hard and
practiced hard right up to the
last minute."
The Lady Bulldogs finished
their season with a 2-17 record.
