Last season's 4A state
champions, Stadium High
School, came into Shelton
High School on Friday ex-
pecting a guaranteed win.
But the Highclimbers
gave the Tigers all they
could handle in a 1-0 loss.
"We wanted to build an
identiy and that's been
our team goal. That and
buying into the coach's
system,'said Shelton head
coach Marcelino Dumpit.
"Tonight we saw our team
goals in play."
Shelton (0-2-1, 0-2-0 4A
Narrows League) lost to
Stadium (3-0-0, 2-0-0 4A
Narrows League) in 12-0
and 8-0 decisions.
But in the league home
opener for the Highclimb-
ers, Shelton began the first
half by winning the posses-
sion battle.
While both teams had
six shots on goal in the first
half, Shelton had three
shots on quick transitions.
On a number of occa-
sions, seniors Michael Mil-
lard and Cesar Apaez could
be found with the ball on
the Stadium side of the
field, looking for an open
shot.
"It's us knowing what
we're doing before we do it,"
Dumpit said. "We're getting
creative off it and I feel we
are building stronger than
we have ever been before."
Senior Cody Wilkes had
eight saves in the game,
but after a penalty was
called on senior Michael
Warman for a forearm in
the back, Stadium's Cesar
Cervantes scored the lone
goal on a penalty kick.
After the season open-
ing tie at Bremerton High
School, Dumpit said Shel-
ton had to be more physi-
cal.
With players grappling
each other for position on
both sides, Dumpit said the
Highclimbers improved.
"Just simple forearms on
the body, not letting them
in our 18," Dumpit said.
"All the little stuff we've
been working on came into
play."
Coaches not only from
Shelton, but from the Sta-

dium sideline, have noted
the improvement the High-
climbers have shown since
last season.
Dumpit said he spoke
with the Tigers' head coach
John Barreta after the
game and had "one of the
best compliments" about
Shelton.
"He was like 'Is this the
same Shelton team that
has been in our league
the last couple of years?'"
Dumpit said. "'In all my
years, that is probably the
most improvement I've
seen between years."
Dumpit said after hold-
ing the defending state
champions to a penalty kick
in an early season match,
it was good to see Shelton
not only keep up with Sta-
dium, but "dominate" them
throughout the .majority of
the 80-minute game.
"I think we know we are
good," Dumpit said. "We're
in the right position. We
just have to get better and
better and better and keep
growing."
In their next game, the
Highclimbers were unable
to take the momentum to
Gig Harbor High School (2-
0, 2-0 4A Narrows League)
on Tuesday in a 9-1 loss on
the road. No details were
reported on the game.

Good start for Shelton against 3A Trojans
By DEAN SIEMON
Shelton High School
boys golf opened their sea-
son with a nonleague win
over 2A~ Olympic High
School at Rolling Hills Golf
Course in Bremerton, 206-
245.
The Highclimbers (1-0)
won the nine-hole match
with Alec Martinson's 37
and Zach Lund's 38 leading
the low scores.
Colton Gott had a score
of 41, followed by Marcus
Browning and Grant Cat-
ion each with a round of 45.
Shelton coach Mark
Jensen said the total score
for the five Highclimbers
wasn't too bad for a young
team.
"It wasn't a real long
course, but they were
pretty good scores," Jensen
said. "They were hitting
drivers and shorter irons to
get onto the greens."
Jensen said the season
opening win was also a
good start for a team that
hasn't been able to hold full
practices due to the wet
weather that has plagued
all spring sports in recent
weeks.
The Highclimbers con-
tinue their schedule today
against 3A Timberline
High School and 3A Yelm
High School on March 28 -
both are scheduled to start
at 2:45 p.m. at Alderbrook
Golf Club in Union.
While the scores iI~
Bremerton were some oi
the best Jensen has seen
in an early season match
Shelton still has a lot of
work to do to compete with
top teams in the 4A Nar-
rows League.
"I think we got to have
three or four in that 37-38
range to play with the top
teams in the league," Jen-
sen said.

cent year and be developing some players
for the future," Martinson said.
