Finishes with 16-7 record:
Baseball season comes to a close
By RICK STEDMAN
The Bulldog baseball team
played valiantly last weekend,
but not quite well enough to make
it to the state tournament. North
Mason defeated Yelm on Friday
hut lost the following night
against Lakes. The loss ended
North Mason's season. The team's
overall record for the year was 16-
7. llere's a recap of the last two
games.
NM 5, Yelm 4
The Yelm Tornadoes baseball
team has got to be asking them-
selves "What do we have to do to
beat the Bulldogs?" They will con-
tinue asking that question until
next season commences; North
Mason delbated Yelm last week
for the fourth straight time this
season.
The latest North Mason victory
kept the team's state playoff
hopes alive as the Bulldogs pre-
vailed 5-4 in a loser-out district
playoff game played in Bremer-
ton.
It was almost like watching a
couple of heavyweight prize fight-
ers standing toe-to-toe in the cen-
ter of the ring. These same two
teams played 10 innings just a
week ago with North Mason final-
ly prevailing 3-2.
In last week's contest, the Bull-
(togs would pull ahead, and then
the Tornadoes would come storm-
ing back. And so went the
scenario ff)r the entire seven in-
n i ngs.
TIlE BULLDOGS took the
early lead scoring two runs in the
top of the first. With runners at
the corners and two out, Drew
Randolph hit a double to right-
center field scoring Rick Biehl
and Chris Williamson. Yelm add-
ed a run in the bottom of the
frame.
After walking the bases loaded
in the second inning, Chris Wil-
liamson got a little defensive help
from his outfield. Jeremy Koenig
(:aught a fly ball in right, then
fired a one-bouncer to the plate,
holding the runner at third. The
next batter flied out to center to
end the inning•
The score remained 2-1 until
the fourth inning when both
teams scored a pair of runs• In
the top half of the inning, Phillip
I-IELP WANTED
CHRIS WILLIAMSON picked up the win for North Ma-
son last Friday.
Flatau and Jeremy Huffman
started things off for North Ma-
son with back-to-back singles.
Later in the inning with two out,
Josh Reid hit a bloop single to
right, scoring two runs. "It's a line
drive in the book," quipped assis-
tant coach Bill Geier.
The Tornadoes responded by
scoring two runs in the bottom of
the inning. Again, Williamson
had trouble with control as he
walked a couple of batters and
gave up a hard line drive single to
right. The next batter hit a hard
ground ball to Beau Smith at
third, who promptly threw to
Randolph at home to force the
runner out.
BUT IN TRYING for the dou-
ble play, Randolph over-threw
Huffman at first, which allowed
two runs to score. Relaying the
ball back in, Koenig threw to
Smith at third where play con-
tinued as North Mason caught a
Yelm player between bases. The
runner was tagged out to end the
inning.
With a 4-3 lead going into the
bottom of the fifth, Williamson
walked a batter and gave up a
base hit. He then struck out two
batters, and then gave up a single
which tied the game.
The Tornadoes began the bot-
tom of the sixth inning with a sin-
gle. But that base runner was
short lived as Randolph threw
him out trying to steal second
base. And though he walked two
batters to load the bases, Wil-
liamson bore down on the next
hitter, striking him out for the
appreciative Bulldog fans.
The entire team gather along
the first base line prior to the be-
ginning of the seventh inning for
a collective gut-check. Reid start-
ed things off with a single. But
Reid was then forced out at sec-
ond on a fielder's choice. William-
son then made it to first on a
bloop single, but Smith was
forced out at second on a contro-
versial call. Randolph then
walked, and advanced Williamson
to second. Landon Fryer hit a sin-
gle and Williamson scored the
winning run on a throwing error
by Yelm infielders.
YELM THREATENED in
the bottom half of the seventh,
but North Mason's defense again
rose to the occasion. With two out
and runners on second and third,
Josh Reid stopped a sharply hit
grounder at second - with his
chest. He quickly retrieved the
ball and threw out the runner to
end the game.
Given his struggles on the
mound all day, it was only befit-
ting that the Chris Williamson
scored the winning run for his
team.
On the day, North Mason col-
lected nine hits and committed
two errors while their opponents
had eight hits and one error.
Leading hitters for the Bulldogs
were Reid, 3-for-4 with two RBIs,
Randolph, with a double and two
RBIs, and Jeremy Huffman went
2-for-3.
Lakes 7, NM 1
The Lakes Lancers picked up a
run in the first inning and anoth-
er in the second. That was all the
scoring they would need to defeat
North Mason 7-1 on a cold Satur-
day night in Bremerton.
During the West Central Dis-
trict 3A tournament game played
at Legion Field, the Bulldogs
could only muster seven hits, two
each by Landon Fryer and Phil
Flatau. They also committed four
errors which fueled a couple of
Lakes rallies.
The only North Mason run
came in the bottom of the fourth.
Flatau walked, advanced to sec-
ond on a balk, then scored on a
Landon Fryer single coupled with
a Lakes throwing error.
In spite of their silent bats,
North Mason did show signs of
brilliance on the field. In the top
of the seventh after Josh Reid
walked the lead off batter, Rick
Biehl and Chris Williamson
turned a perfect double play.
But in the end, it was the 13
Lancer hits that dictated the
game's outcome.
Personal records ab(mnd
at district track meet
All five of North Mason's relay
teams and several individual per-
formers advanced to this week-
end's West Central District cham-
pionship finals, to be held Friday
and Saturday, May 21-22, at
Lakewood Stadium.
Along the way, the Bulldogs
set four school records during the
Pierce County League champion-
ships, held last weekend at the
North Mason High School track.
Senior Anthony Bailey broke
the school record in the 1600 met-
er race with a time of 4:29.27.
Jay Higginson also broke the
school record in the 800 meter
run. He outlasted two competitors
to win in a time of 1:58.31.
ON THE GIRLS' side of the
track, co-captain Kaynie Nelson
broke the school record in the
shot put by one inch with a toss of
35'7".
Using that effort as a warm up,
the junior smashed the 18-year-
old record by more than a foot
with a personal best of 36'7". Nel-
son finished third in the competi-
tion.
Co-captain Allison Degracia
flew over the 300 hurdles in 48.61
to break her own school record for
that event. Later, she established
a new personal record of 27.64 for
the 200 meter dash. And finally,
Degracia joined teammates Pa-
tience Churchward, Kim Hoon,
and Brei Shearer to run the fas-
test 4 x 200m relay in North Ma-
son history. The Bulldog team
clipped Clover Park in a time of
1:50.86.
Just about every North Mason
athlete that advanced did so with
a new personal record. The dis-
trict finalists for North Mason in-
clude: Patience Churchward, who
finished sixth in the 300 low hur-
dles in 51.17; Brei Shearer, sev-
enth in the 200m with a time of
28.59; Kim Hoon, fifth in the
400m, 1:04.27; Amy Rathke, sixth
in the 800m, 2:35.5; Tessa Huson,
fifth in the 1600m, 5:36.9, and
Hilma Yantis, eighth, 6:05.4; Hu-
son took third in the 320j)m, run-
ning it in 12:07.1, and Yantis was
a distant sixth in 13:02.09.
IN THE 4 X 100M, Hoon, De-
gracia, Churchward, and Shearer
ran a 53.04. That group also ran a
1:50.86 in the 4 x 200m, a three-
second improvement from a week
After making playoffs, so(:cer season ends
the PCL. "I thought he should
have been rated much higher
than that," said Busha.
Other team member who re-
ceived PCL accolades include Tim
Smith, first team defender; Jon
Berg, second team mid-fielder;
Jeff Summit, second team for-
ward; and Sean Pollock, honor-
able mention as a defender.
Summit lead the team in scor-
ing with 10 goals and 6 assists.
Freshman Brian Veiteh score 5
goals and had 4 assists, while
Sean Pollock had 4 goals and 2
assists. Busha was proud of the
fact that his team used 11 differ-
ent players to score thrqughout
the season. "This is unheard of,"
said Busha. "Most teams simply
have two or three guys who do all
the scoring. This was truly a team
effort on our part."
PLAYERS HAD become ac-
customed to Busha's post-game
awards. The coach would select
an offensive player of the game,
defensive player of the game, and
give a hustle award to one player.
He will follow that up with an
awards ceremony, tentatively
scheduled for May 25 at which
time he will dole out seven team
awards.
The coach has indicated that
he would like to return to coach
North Mason again next season.
But his coaching fate is in the
hands of school administrators.
Fife 1, NM, 0
The Bulldogs lost their only
By RICK STEDMAN
The North Mason boys soccer
team overcame numerous adver-
sities throughout the season and
still managed to make it into the
playoffs, which was a team goal
from the start.
The overall 9-6-1 record (8-5-1
in the Pierce County League) was
good enough tbr third place in the
PCL. According to coach Art
Busha, this was the first time the
boys soccer team has made it into
the playofrs since the 1992 sea-
son. And the team accomplished
this feat despite losing five play-
ers, tbur of them starters.
Seth Tellier, after leading the
team in scoring the first four
games, was ruled academically
ineligible; Pat Forster broke a leg
during spring break; Jacob Peter-
son injured his ACL; and Pat Bell
and Jason Johnson were released
from the team for rules violations.
"IN SPITE OF this adversity,
our team rallied together and
played like winners," said Busha,
the proud first-year coach.
Another team goal that was
achieved was to average two goals
per game. The Bulldogs scored 36
goals to their opponents 18. That
translates to 2.25 goals per game
for North Mason while giving up
a stingy 1.1 goal per game. That
fact can be directly attributed to
the Bulldogs' goal keeper Brandin
White, who had five shut-outs
during the season. His accom-
plishments netted him an honor-
able mention for goal keepers in

In the playoff game, shots on
goal were equal, 11 for the Bull-
dogs and 9 for Fife. According to
coach Art Busha, "We had our
chances to score, but things just
didn't go our way when we need-
ed them to."
North Mason finished third in
league play, with Lakes finishing
in first place followed by Fife in
second.

The overall 9-6-1 record (8-5-1
in the Pierce County League) was
good enough tbr third place in the
PCL. According to coach Art
Busha, this was the first time the
boys soccer team has made it into
the playofrs since the 1992 sea-
son. And the team accomplished
this feat despite losing five play-
ers, tbur of them starters.
Seth Tellier, after leading the
team in scoring the first four
games, was ruled academically
ineligible; Pat Forster broke a leg
during spring break; Jacob Peter-

and Jason Johnson were released
from the team for rules violations.
"IN SPITE OF this adversity,
our team rallied together and
played like winners," said Busha,
the proud first-year coach.

achieved was to average two goals
per game. The Bulldogs scored 36
goals to their opponents 18. That
translates to 2.25 goals per game
for North Mason while giving up
a stingy 1.1 goal per game. That
fact can be directly attributed to
the Bulldogs' goal keeper Brandin
White, who had five shut-outs
during the season. His accom-
