: :COMMENTARY
Bringing back t le Supersonics
Dean Siemon
Professional sports teams
move around more than
some cities would like.
About two years ago, the
city of Seattle lost their Su-
personics, well at least the
franchise, as the team de-
cided to move to Oklahoma
City and rename them-
selves the Thunder.
I have heard of many
teams moving to bigger cit-
ies - like the Minnesota Lak-
ers moving to Los Angeles.
But why did they move to
the middle of Sooner coun-
try? It's not necessarily go-
ing to have the right demo-
graphic for basketball.
The city of Seattle was
robbed because now, their
best basketball comes from that would have forgotten
i; Washingtons m.on',sbaket- they exist f it wasn't for
:ba|lJm and the WNBAs Blake Grin. " .......
Seattle Storm ... I rest my
case.
It was announced at the
end of the regular season
that the Sacramento Kings
are leaving town and most
likely heading for Anaheim,
making it the third team in
the L.A. area.
Add that to the fact that
the Golden State Warriors
are moving to Oakland,
there are four teams play-
ing NBA basketball in Cali-
fornia.
There are plenty of fran-
chises in big and small mar-
kets that could benefit frc;m
a move to the Pacific North-
west:
Without looking up on
the internet, can you name
one other starter for the
Clippers? How about for the
Lakers?
Minnesota
Timberwolves
The T-Wolves are from
the Western Conference
but play in the same area
as Milwaukee, Chicago and
Indiana from the Eastern
Conference.
I'm sure a team that has
Kevin Love and Michael
Beasley would be welcomed
up here. There is a lot of tal-
ent that should develop over
the next few years.
Los Angeles Clippers
There is no room for a
second basketball team in a
city like Los Angeles, espe-
cially when team number-
one is lead by a certain fu-
ture Hall-of-Famer named
Kobe Bryant. It would bene-
fit the Clippers to have their
own city instead of taking
the second billing in an area
New Jersey Nets
Not really saying Seattle
deserves such an under-
achieving franchise like the
Nets, but there is some-
times a belief that a change
in scenery is needed for ath-
letes - why not teams?
I hate to use this as an ex-
ample, but when the Thun-
der relocated to Oklahoma

First loss for Shelton
boys golf, girls lose to Oly
By DEAN SIEMON
Shelton High School
boys golf suffered their first
match play loss of the 2011
season to Olympia, 130-
118, on Thursday at Alder-
brook Golf Course in Union.
Shelton boys golf head
coach Mark Jensen said the
Highclimbers (7-1) made
early mistakes against one
of the top teams in the 4A
Narrows League.
"I think our adrenaline
was pumping a little too
much for golf," Jensen said.
"It was the first time in a
big match for a lot of our
kids."
Shelton was led by Riley
Lewis with 27 points in his
round of 81 in 18 holes.
Zach Lund contributed
26 points, followed by Alec
Martinson's 25 points.
With four sophomores
and one freshmen, Jensen
said the future for the team
could be full of potential.
"I think realistically,
if they stay together, this
could be as good of a team
that Shelton has ever had,"
Jensen said.
The boys team also de-
feated Stadium 125-123 in
a round of 18 holes.
Alec Martinson led the
Highclimbers with 31
points in a round of 77.
For the Shelton girls, the
Lady Highclimbers lost 97-
52.
Shelton (3-3) was led by
Jessica Lanman and Cait-
lyn Ernst, each contributed
14 points.
Olympia's top golfer was
Jennfier Liedes with 33
points and was the nine-
hole medalist with a score
of 39.
"The Olympia girls are
tough as they have one
of the best golfers in the
state," Shelton girls golf
head coach Lorna Martin-
son said.

City, they made the playoffs
in their second season.

Dallas Mavericks
If there was any one own-
er that could make some-
thing like this work, it's
Mark Cuban because he's
crazy enough to think that a
move to Seattle was perfect
for the franchise.
There is already a main
powerhouse in Texas and
another high-octane team
in Houston (they'll get bet-
ter soon, I promise). Also,
if Cuban was willing to buy
the Cubs, what could he find
wrong in rebuilding Key
Arena?
There is also the idea of
the NBA bringing an ex-
pansion franchise, but does
Seattle really need to go
through the pain: that has
been suffered (and in some
cases still currently suf-
fering) by the Cleveland
Browns, Charlotte Bobcats,
Columbus Blue Jackets and
Florida Marlins.
