Shelton baseball wins final game By EMILY HANSON em.i( mca;gncounty.c')m The Shelton baseball team ended its season on a high note two weeks ago. On April 27, the High- climbers (3-14) defeated Mt. Tahoma 12-2. "We played an awesome game," SHS head baseball coach Erik Engstrom said. "It was a good way to end the season." Senior Joe Strand pitched for the High- climbers with five strikeouts and three hits. Strand hit 2-3, se- nior Cur- Joe tis Wuest- Strand ner hit 3-4, senior Colton Twiddy hit 2-3 and senior Jake Enslow hit 1-1. This was the third victo- ry for the team this season and the second time Shel- don defeated Mt. Tahoma. Engstrom said the team improved and progressed throughout the season, de- spite its record. "Even with the difficul- ties of playing high-caliber teams, the guys stayed positive and played all the way through," Engstrom said. The team's banquet has not yet been scheduled. Kent shuts out Shelton boys' rugby 15s By EMILY HANSON emily@masoneounty.com. The Shelton boys' rugby team struggled last weekend. On Saturday, Kent shut out the boys 58- 0. "At the end of the first half against Kent, they were already up 40-0," Shelton co-head coach Chris Nesmith said. "It took the first half for the Shelton team to find their bearings and get coordinated. Many of the boys are not used to the positions they were playing." He said that in the second half of the game, Shelton was in scoring position in the Kent zone. "As the boys remained calm, the game wen in our favor," Nesmith said. "The closer to scoring we got, the more distract- ed the boys were and the more their old bad habits emerged." Two young players stood out as leaders for the team, he said. "Freshman Brian Nault was voted Man of the Match on Saturday but I was even more impressed how he stepped out as a leader on the field," Nesmith said. Freshman Jordan Kaiser helped lead the eam at fly-half, Nesmith said. "Jordan sepped up as a leader on the field to make many key offensive deci- sions," Nesmith said. The Shelton boys' rugby 15s team {2-3- 1) has had huge growth this season, Ne- smith said. "As another non-league match, I used the opportunity o provide our younger side with opportunity on the field," he said. "The boys made huge improvements as the game progressed garnering confidence and skills. Additionally, Kent is the No. 1 ranked team in the north devasion. Play- ing a second side match against the top ranked north league team makes the end- ing score easily predictable. What isn't as easy to predict is how much the Shelton team grew." The boys' team's final league match is scheduled for 1 p.m. Saturday against Rainier at Oakland Bay Junior High. "Geographically, this is a very large program, drawing athletes from Auburn, Puyallup, Sumner and Buckley," Nesmith said. "We play a very different style of game so I expect the matchup to be very entertaining." Nesmith said .the team has focused on high-stress decision making during prac- tice this week to enable the boys to stay calm during their upcoming match. "We hope o see the positive effects this week," he added.
