BilI00000000$'I00DELINE" SLA:NTS Jim Corey Hurls No-Hitter For Junior
Rose, Tin1,ed With Ebony!
There was little about the 1968-69 high
school athletic year to pop vest buttons
around Christmaatown USA, Central Kit-
sap's domination of Olympic League sports
since last September being so high-geared
as to leave extremely meager muscle re-
ward for the Cougars' conference contem-
poraries.
Sole solace for our Highclimbers lies
in the distinction of capturing the only
major.sport championship the athletes
from Silverdale overlooked. Of the five so-
called major sports, only track escaped
Cougar claws. The Climbers bagged it with
a perfect conference calendar.
Central also allowed one so-called minor
title to slip away, tennis going to East
Bremerton, but laid claim to the other pair
--golf and cross country.
Thus, track becomes the bellwether on
whioh any review of the recently embalmed
prep sports year must concentrate when
assessing ath'letic achievements in Climber-
ville. The Climbers hoisted this lonesome
sports pennant without a single outstand-
ing althete. They did it on general, all-
around strength. They had only two indl.
vidual league champions, Dick Shrum in
the high jump, Randy Lewis in the pole
vault, and no C4imber went to the state
meet a rare situation. Balance over-all
was the championship Ingredient.
In only one other sport did the Climbers
seriously challenge for the crown. Almost
any other year Shelton golfers would have
worn the tiara with the outstanding collec-
tion of links aptitude representing the Red
& Black this spring. But the Cougars had
six kids capable of clouting consistently
under 80. Andy Tuson couldn't quite match
that, but his Climber golfers did have a
great season, nevertheless, and easily rate
runner-up to Bill Brockert's cindermen in
any assessment of the year's athletic
achievements. Tennis, wrestling and cross-
country came off close to expectations, the
latter having the best won-lost record of
the three. Wrestling rated some special at-
tention and acclaim through the spectacular
individual record of Mary Willson and to a
somewhat lesser degree of Dallas Gunter.
Willson won the Olympic League and Dis-
trict 141-pound titles and five of six match-
for a third
nteLIIl[Bt sy¢ the District
hd a top'flightcord going into it.
Disappointment drugged the two big
spectator sports, football and basketball,
along with baseball. Title aspirations were
consigned each in pre.season prognostica-
tions, but at schedule.end 1 floundered in
or just short of the dungeon.
Summarizing, three major sports fell
short, two attained or exceeded expecta-'
tions. All three minors at least lived up to
their predictions.
Of the five major sports, only the
championship-winner retains its coach for
1969.70, Bill Brickert being the lone men-
tor who hasn't relinquished the reins and
so far as we know has no such intentions.
Some might yield to the temptation of link-
in6 records with resignations. This cor-
her doubts, to any serious extent, such a
one-plus-one answer. Other factors, par-
ticularly the desire to advance to greener
pastures, such as into the administrative
field, entered the picture. Of the four, suc-
cessors have been named in two Terry
Gregg for Jack Wright in basketball, Dick
Wentz for Steve Jay in wrestling. Gregg
moves up from Shelton junior high after
two excellent seasons. Wentz was Jay's
assistant. Football and baseball remain
open, but certainly not unwanted.
Any capsule review of the Climbers' past
athletic year, then, must perforce find the
rose hue cast by one championship and one
near-miss tinted by the dark dye of disap-
pointment in three others, May that com-
plexion clear in 1969-70!
SPORTS SPLINTERS Highclimber
trackmen out-scored opponents 538 to 314
in Olympic League dual meets this year
while compiling a 6-0 title-winning record.
Greatest success was achieved in the pole
vault, where the Climbers had a 50 to 4
edge on rivals, pushed closely by a 48-6
mark in the high jump. The triple jump
yielded a 32-4 harvest, the low hurdles a
40-14 margin, the shot put a 37-17 superior-
ity, and the mile relay a 25-5 edge. Oppo-
nents out-scored Shelton in only four of the
17 events--mile 26-28, two-mile 26-28, 880-
relay 10-20, and the 220 yard dash 20-34.
It was tight in the javelin but the Climb-
ers won by 28-26. Seniors scored 329-2/3
points, juniors 177-5/12, and sophs 121-
11/12 of the Highclimber total for the com-
plete season. Junior Randy Lewis led all
individuals with an even 100 points. Bill
Richards was the leading senior and sec-
ond high individual with 67-1/6, while Todd
Looney topped sophomore scorers at 26-
1/2.
Speaking of Todd, two older brothers
rweceded him as Climber athletes. Oldest
brother Stuart, now in Vietnam, was due
for promotion to Chief Warrant Officer in
his Army assault helicopter unit near Sai-
gon this month. He is assistant operations
officer and flies combat missions with a
fleet of the swift new American attack
'copters which have harassed the Viet Cong
with devastating effect. He set the first
Highclimber school record in the two-mile
run when it became a recognized prep,track

average at the
of Washington, earned Climber
letters in football, basketball (honorary
captain), and tennis (was Olympic League
doubles champion wRh Dave Bayley). At
the UW Steve was recently named the out-
standing sophomore Air Corps ROTC cadet.
He has taken up squash (handball with
racquets) and rates third among Husky
devotees of the sport.
Although Mary Willson, this year's
Highclimber athlete-of-the-year, left for
Alabama to join his family last week,
chances are good he'll be back in the North.

Hagan's Arm, Shelton Bats, Bring
By BILL DICKIE
• If Bremerton residents heard
a "sonic boom" Saturday night
it may have come from their
Roosevelt Field, where Shelton
Junior Legion bats and Mike Ha-
gan's fastball lowered the boom
on Port Angeles in the opening
Olympic Connie Mack baseball
league game for both teams.
Shelton bruised the PA entry,
13-1, on a combination of nine
hits, seven walks, a hit batsman,
and two errors behind Hagan's
brilliant 17- strikeout, two- hit
mound masterpiece.
Hagan's fastball boomed into
catcher Rusty Corey's mitt with
such speed PA batters consistent-
ly swung far too late. Only six
of them got a piece of it in
the entire game,-two for hits,
four for the only outs Hagan
left for his fielders to handle.
Four others got aboard on walks.
The first 12 PA batters failed
to reach base, nine striking out.
PA's first baserunner came from
Hagan's first walk, opening the
fifth inning. Another walk and
an infield hit, behind a whiff,
filled the bases, but Hagan fan-
ned another pair to extricate him-
self from the jam.
The infield tap which spoiled
his no-hit ledger actually should
have been an out. With runners
on first and second, Tim Haley
bounced a slow roller into the
shortstop-third base hole. Jody
Campbell went far to his left,
gloved the ball, and brushed the
rer gP/ug bY,. umpire
. :Bmm, was n0t! la ti
to see the tag and called the
runner safe.
The other hit off Hagan was a
solid single to leftcenter by Lee
Adams to open the sixth, and
wound up as the lone PA run,
though it was unearned. Adams
moved to second when a pick-
off effort fouled, he stole third,
and scored on a passed ball. Ha-
,gan struckout the side in the
third, fifth and seventh and had
doubles in each other inning.
He pitched in corn/oft from the
second following a six-run Shel-
ton assault in which he drove
in the first run himself. With
the bases full after a walk to
Campbell and singles by Russ
Corey and Kevin Dorcy, Hagan
hit a high-hopper to second and
Campbell beat the throw to the
plate. Mike Bac's centerfield
single scored Corey and Dorcy
and alter Ed Adams walked to

OOUGAIL8 CLING TO LEAD,
BUT KNAVES NIP HEELS
• Bob Coots' Cougars clipped
their claws to the top rung for
the second straight week, a
rarity In this 1969 19th Hole
Club men's golf league, but their
hold was considerably less se-
cure and the volume of pmuing
footsteps many decibels stronger.
Only 14 percentage polnts to
the rear charge the Gary Nie-
loy Knaves and but two more
behind the Knaves thunder the
Darrell Denniston Demons. All
three saddled success in last
week's action, the Cougars on
a 13-of-20 point Hde, the Knaves
a 15-for-20 journel which elevat-
ed them from fourth into the se-
cord spot prevlotmly held by the
Demons, who |lid to third de-
spite their 12-for-18 performance.
It a]/ adds to a dandy 3-team
scrap as the final two weeks
