"Dave certainly met all the
criteria..."
Old friend Roy Taylor of Shel-
ton concurred. "Dave was a great
leader in all his sports endeavors,"
wrote Taylor. "His teammates
looked up to him with respect and
regarded him as a friend.
"He exemplified the type of
person and athlete the younger
players wanted to mirror with his
ideals of fair play and teamwork..."
THE LATE JOHNSON, too,
was known as much for his in-
spiration as for his athleticism
- which of course was beyond dis-
pute as well.
An all-league running back
in football in '64 and '65, modest
Mike took his hometown celebrity
to even greater heights in track &
field, where he rose not only to the
top of the Climbers' all-time pole-
vault recordboard but literally to
the very pinnacle of the state list
as well and helped revolutionize
the sport in the process by helping
pioneer the transition from bam-
boo to fiberglass poles.
So singularly superior was his
14-5 PR, in fact, it remained #1 in
Climber history for fully 24 years
- nudged ultimately by one inch
by Tam Malloy, who in the pro-
cess captured the '89 state crown.
The record now is up to 15-6, by
the way, set there in 2005 by now
Arizona collegian Chris Smith - a
protege of none other than John-
son himself during the all-to-brief
Climber assistant-coaching stint
that ended with local school-
teacher Mike's fatal heart attack
in 2002 at age 54.
"I never, ever heard him brag
on himself, as great an athlete as
he was," said Climber teammate
and sprint great Tommy Lowe in
the wake of his memorial service.
"He was my hero. He was the type
of man I'd like to be. He was so
humble and gave so much of him-
self to others..."
DON BROWN, meanwhile, dis-
tinguished himself just a stone's
throw away from the Climber
track. Well, a baseball's throw, to
be more specific.
Shelton's mound ace virtually
from the start of his Climber ca-
reer, which spanned 1954-56,
Don threw no fewer than four no-
hitters. Little wonder he made
the prestigious all-state team
- to which only 20 were named in
those days - when he combined
that prowess with a .421 batting
average his senior year.
Don coached Little League dur-
ing his college summers, reinsti-
tuting the popular Pee Wee night
game after a ten-year layoff, and
went on to coach it again for a 13-
year run after the birth of a daugh-
ter and three sons.
Long a leader in both the real
estate and insurance businesses
here in his home town, the soon-
to-be (April 15) 69-year-old also
was among Shelton's top bowlers
for years, winning no less than
high-average honors for the entire
season at the height of his game.
The new inductee also made a
name for himself in the sport of
men's fastpitch, which he played
for 21 years before joining the coed
ranks. Altogether he played orga-
nized baseball for 41 years.
Brown, Johnson and Austin
join 19 fellow greats in the Shel-
ton-Mason County Sports Hall of
Fame. Preceding them in induc-
tion were Des Koch, Bill Dickey,
Rusty Callow, Woody Sanderson,
Jess Phillips, Garth Getty, Wes

Catch[n
Shelton Heat boys blaze a successful traJ
From modest beginnings a
source of hometown pride emerged
this past season in age-group bas-
ketball.
It all started with a phone call
last year to former Climber girls'
assistant coach and age-group
mentor Scott Hubble. Seems a
couple teams had backed out of a
local tournament at the last min-
ute, and the caller wondered if
.Scott had a group he could volun-
teer to the cause in the fifth-grad-
ers' division.
"I did not," says the coach, "but
I told him I would create a team
and be there the following day so
the tournament could continue.
My son called as many friends ....
- fourth-graders - as he could and
we played the following morning.
"Needless to say, we didn't do
well with only one hour of practice
in such a competitive setting. We
were amazed by the level of play
of the competing teams' young ath-
letes. This motivated us to develop
a competitive team that could stay
close to the level of competition
from the surrounding communi-
ties."
AND THUS BECAME Coach
Hubble's 2006-7 Shelton Heat
boys' basketball team, a team
whose persistence paid off in suc-
cessive third-place tournament
performances in Tumwater and
Black Hills - the latter featur-
ing an avenging victory over the
highly touted Capital contingent
- and ultimately a season record
of 16-8.
"The team knew they would
have to focus and work hard to
be successful," says Coach. "We
worked on all aspects of our game,
playing pickup games wherever
we could."
By the end of the season it was

wrapped up their nonleague slate
with a victory over North Mason
last week.
The 100-52 nod leveled their re-
cord at 2-2 going into the league
title chase, which gets under way
after spring break.
Leading the charge against
the Climbers' neighbors from the
north was junior two-time state
veteran Caral Martinson, with a
42 on the hosts' Bayshore course.
That was good for 30 points and
medalist honors for the match.
Climber coach Lorna Mar-
tinson, Caral's mom, noted that
sophomore veteran Hillary Evans
and senior veteran Ksenia Malkin
"continued their steady play," ac-
counting for 26 and 22 points.
SHELTON 100, N. MASON 52
Shelton - Caral Martinson 42 (30 points),
Hiltary Evans 46 (26), Ksenia Malkin NS (22),
Kristi Fox NS (12), Natalie Cuzick NS (10)
and Andrea Ivanoff NS (6).
North Mason - Amy Gastineau 44 (28
points), Juliet Crummey NS (10), Sora Park
NS (8), Krista Wilson NS (6) and Kyleigh Ca-
macho NS (0).
clear the effort was worthwhile, he
adds - and not just by dint of the
boys' winning record.
"Parents, coaches and players
from competing teams were com-
plimenting our team's structure
and the way we went about our
business," says Hubble. "It made
our players iel great and rein-
ibrced what we are trying to ac-
complish as a team."
HERE'S HOW Coach Hubble
characterizes the parts of his
team:
Tanner Lund: "Ricochet Rab-
bit. Quick and fast is how he got
his nickname. Very explosive and
intense. Can't wait for this player
to direct his energy. Fun'kid to
watch."
Braden Hanna: "Back-up
point guard. Does a good job get-
ting us into our entries and offens-
es. Nicknamed Shaggy because of
his hairstyle."
Sam Gerhold: "Worked hard
to improve his game, and success
followed. It's a coach's dream to
have a player want something,
work hard and achieve it."
Michael Sobotka: "Our out-
side threat. Likes to shoot the long
ball and has success at it. Sees the
floor well and distributes the ball,
setting up his teammates for easy
baskets."
Colton Hubble: "Point guard
and 'floor general.' Leading scorer
and rebounder. One of our top de-
fenders. All-around player. VM
tough kid. Pleasure to watch pie
the game."
Colby Fuller: "Lots of pot:i

Catch[n
Shelton Heat boys blaze a successful traJ
From modest beginnings a
source of hometown pride emerged
this past season in age-group bas-
ketball.
It all started with a phone call
last year to former Climber girls'
assistant coach and age-group
mentor Scott Hubble. Seems a
couple teams had backed out of a
local tournament at the last min-
ute, and the caller wondered if
.Scott had a group he could volun-
teer to the cause in the fifth-grad-
ers' division.
"I did not," says the coach, "but
I told him I would create a team
and be there the following day so
the tournament could continue.
My son called as many friends ....
- fourth-graders - as he could and
we played the following morning.
"Needless to say, we didn't do
well with only one hour of practice
in such a competitive setting. We
were amazed by the level of play
of the competing teams' young ath-
letes. This motivated us to develop
a competitive team that could stay
close to the level of competition
from the surrounding communi-
ties."
AND THUS BECAME Coach
Hubble's 2006-7 Shelton Heat
boys' basketball team, a team
whose persistence paid off in suc-
cessive third-place tournament
performances in Tumwater and
Black Hills - the latter featur-
ing an avenging victory over the
highly touted Capital contingent
- and ultimately a season record
of 16-8.
"The team knew they would
have to focus and work hard to
be successful," says Coach. "We
worked on all aspects of our game,
playing pickup games wherever
we could."
By the end of the season it was

wrapped up their nonleague slate
with a victory over North Mason
last week.
The 100-52 nod leveled their re-
cord at 2-2 going into the league
title chase, which gets under way
after spring break.
Leading the charge against
the Climbers' neighbors from the
north was junior two-time state
veteran Caral Martinson, with a
42 on the hosts' Bayshore course.
That was good for 30 points and
medalist honors for the match.
Climber coach Lorna Mar-
tinson, Caral's mom, noted that
sophomore veteran Hillary Evans
and senior veteran Ksenia Malkin
"continued their steady play," ac-
counting for 26 and 22 points.
SHELTON 100, N. MASON 52
Shelton - Caral Martinson 42 (30 points),
Hiltary Evans 46 (26), Ksenia Malkin NS (22),
Kristi Fox NS (12), Natalie Cuzick NS (10)
and Andrea Ivanoff NS (6).
North Mason - Amy Gastineau 44 (28
points), Juliet Crummey NS (10), Sora Park
NS (8), Krista Wilson NS (6) and Kyleigh Ca-
macho NS (0).
clear the effort was worthwhile, he
adds - and not just by dint of the
boys' winning record.
"Parents, coaches and players
from competing teams were com-
plimenting our team's structure
and the way we went about our
business," says Hubble. "It made
our players iel great and rein-
ibrced what we are trying to ac-
complish as a team."
HERE'S HOW Coach Hubble
characterizes the parts of his
team:
Tanner Lund: "Ricochet Rab-
bit. Quick and fast is how he got
his nickname. Very explosive and
intense. Can't wait for this player
to direct his energy. Fun'kid to
watch."
Braden Hanna: "Back-up
point guard. Does a good job get-
ting us into our entries and offens-
es. Nicknamed Shaggy because of
his hairstyle."
Sam Gerhold: "Worked hard
to improve his game, and success
followed. It's a coach's dream to
have a player want something,
work hard and achieve it."
Michael Sobotka: "Our out-
side threat. Likes to shoot the long
ball and has success at it. Sees the
floor well and distributes the ball,
setting up his teammates for easy
baskets."
Colton Hubble: "Point guard
and 'floor general.' Leading scorer
and rebounder. One of our top de-
fenders. All-around player. VM
tough kid. Pleasure to watch pie
the game."
Colby Fuller: "Lots of pot:i
