New coach, familiar face for I-lighclimber soccer this ,p'rng
By DEAN SIEMON
Marcelino Dumpit has been involved with
coaching for the last seven years, since he was
16 years old.
While playing on the boys soccer team at
Henry M. Jackson High School in Mill Creek,
Dumpit coached for Silver Lake FC, a girls se-
lect team in Everett.
"It'was my little sister's team," Dumpit said.
After some time coaching the South Sound
Slammers, another select team in Olympia,
Dumpit became an assistant at Shelton High
School four years ago.
Beginning under head coach Tom Pearson,
Dumpit started his first year as the coach of the
C-team and then the last two years coaching
the junior varsity, including last season under
then head coach Chad Sweitzer.
"It's quite the learning experience," Dumpit
said. "I'm pretty much taking the parts [from
the prior two head coaches] that I like and
creating a positive experience for the kids I'm
coaching."
But Dumpit is set for his Highclimber head
coaching debut in his fourth season in Shelton
and is excited for the senior class which in-
cludes Cesar Apaez, J.J. Loza and Michael Mil-
lard.
"I coached these guys on C-team when they
were freshmen and had 12 wins," Dumpit §aid.
"They know what they can do. This year should
be special for them."
But the first-year head coach admitted there
are some concerns for this season's roster which
htad only 27 goals and allowed the third-most
goals with 47 in the 4A Narrows League (Foss
High School, 90, and Mount Tahoma High
School, 48).
"I'm a lot more worried about their technical
ability and preparation before games," Dumpit
said.
For the small amount of goals last season,
led by Apaez, Dumpit said he would like to set
the tempo with a roster that plays all around
the: field.
.... I want people to train in different positions,"
Du:mpit said.
But the first three games will be a tough test
not only offensively, but defensively as well.
Their first game of the season is against Bel-
larmine Preparatory School (13-4-1, 7-2-1 Nar-
rows League) in 2010) on March 16, who had 60
goals as a team.
The Highclimbers then face Stadium High
School (17-1-0, 10-0-0 Narrows League), who
had 90 goals in 2010, followed by Gig Harbor
High School (12-3-2, 7-1-2 Narrows League)
and their 54 goals last season.
"It's going to be tough," Dumpit said. "De-
fense is definitely going to be a focus for us."
While deciding between either the flatback-
three or flatback-four defensive schemes,
Dumpit said repetition on defensive drills are
important before the season opener against
Bellarmine Prep.
"We're going to drill our formation," he said.
"They have to know where they are going to be."

year not knowing any-
thing," Peterson said.
"Then I went to Washing-
ton State and it filled in
all the gaps I didn't know
before."
Peterson said the
team moved away from
the gameplan style used
by Central Washington
University, where Coach
Nesmith and Coach Rob-
bins played, and used the
state team's style.
"I helped form the new
plays and how we play
the game," Peterson said.
While the rugby play-
ers prepare for the sea-
son, they have all become
supporters of other people
trying the sport, which is
sometimes considered a
hybrid of soccer and foot-
ball.
"Last year, since it was
new for kids in Shelton,
a lot of people weren't
sure," Peterson said.
"You've got the con-
stant shifting of offense
and defense like basket-
ball, the hitting of foot-
ball - it's awesome," Dean
said.
