Coach predicts more wins in second half of the season
By EMILY HANSON

The Shelton boys' soccer
team split its games before
spring break.
On March 27, the High-
climbers lost at South Kit-
sap 2-0.
"We lost but the score
doesn't reflect the game
at all because we played
a complete game, we just
couldn't score at all," said
SHS head boys' soccer
coach Isaiah Herrera. "The
guys controlled the game."
On March 29, the High-
climbers defeated Mt. Ta-
homa 1-0 at Oakland Bay
Junior High.
Senior Mike Bowman
scored the lone Shelton
Mike
Bowman
goal.
" W e
moved the
ball well
and played
well," Her-
rera Said.
"Our big
thing right
now is
we've got
to score."
D u e
to spring
break, the team had nearly
two weeks off and is sched-
uled to hit the field at 7 p.m.
tonight at home against
Stadium.
"I'm expecting Stadium
to be fast-paced," Herrera
said. "They're a very hard-
tackling team but our guys
can match that, we've just
got to score."
He said this will be a
difficult game for the High-
climbers.
With the season" now
halfway over, Herrera said
the team has gained experi-
enced on the field, improved
its defense and recognized
its difficulty scoring as its
main weakness.
"We now have the con-
fidence to play against any
team," Herrera said.
He said the second half
of 2he season will be differ-
ent and a lot more fun to
watch.
"The guys will have a
lot more fun on the field
because the pressure won't
be there and that should
result in more wins for us,"
Herrera said.

butes that more to the rid-
er than to the bike they're
on.
"No one thinks about
how hard it is until they
do a lap around the track,"
Schnitzer said.
She said she enjoys mo-
torcross because it's a way
to get away. She races in-
dependently and said the
nearest track is Straddle-
line in Olympia.
Outside of motorcross
and playing fastpitch,
Schnitzer said she usually
maintains a B average at
SHS, where she is also a
member of the DECA club.
She is currently look-
ing into attending either
South Puget Sound Com-
munity College or Olympic
College next year on her
way to becoming a dental
hygen.ist.
"The hardest part of
becoming a dental hygen-
ist will be getting all of the
school out of the way," she
said.
To become a dental hyg-
enist, Schnitzer said she'll
have to complete a two-
year associate's degree
and then attend a dental
hygenist program for two
to three years. She added
that she doesn't want to
become a dentist because
it takes too long.
"I will enjoy the hours
because dental hygenists
usually only work three
days a week," Schnitzer
said.
Though she's not sure
if she]l continue playing
fastpitch, Schnitzer said
she knows she will con-
tinue riding motorcross,
though not professionally.
"I do motorcross for fun
'and because it's a family
bonding thing," she said.
"Being pro is for my broth-
er and my dad."
When she's not in
school, on the field or on
the track, Schnitzer said : :

"I love working there,"
she said. "It's so fun and
everyone's so nice."
