.ose By DEAN SIEMON 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- "We wanted to build an and that's been our team goal ... Tonight we saw our team goals in play." 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. Journal photo by Dean Slemo.

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. Shelton girls golf defeats Olympic in season opener By DEAN SIEMON Shelton High School girls golf began their season with a match win against 2A Olympic High School on Thursday at Rolling Hills Golf Course in Bremerton.

Shelton head coach Lorna Martinson said the team played well with rainy con- ditions on the course. Caitlyn Ernst finished with the low score of the match with 55, followed by Jessica Lanman with 57 and Lindsey Norton with a score of 58. "The veterans, Jessica, Caitlyn and Lindsey got offto a good start, especially with the conditions of the course," Mar- tinson said. "It looks like we are going to have a de- cent year and be developing some players for the future," Martinson said. Come See why everyone is 360.426.8401 360.GO.BRUSH (452.7874) Katherine J.
