Junior All-Stars pray in s tate to urnamen t The North Mason Junior All-Stars (13- and 14-year- olds) lost both games at the recent state tournament, but still played like cham- ii pions. A few remembrances of the Vancouver tourna- ment include those pic- tured clockwise from right: Steven Hupper was a stal- wart on the mound for the All-Stars; catcher Bernie Corkum readies himself for ..... another pitch; Joey Veitch shows the hitting stance that collected four hits in six at-bats during the Van- couver tournament; and Joshua Fullington does his Randy Johnson imitation while on the mound. Coyotes in tournament play tomorrow By RICK WATERS The North Mason Coyotes, a 15-and-under baseball team, fin- ished its season with a 19-6 record, good enough for second place in the Black Hills Baseball League against programs from Olympia, Rochester, Port Angeles and Tenino. "Our goal going into the season was to finish at .500," said assis- tant coach Jack Johnson. "What is even more impressive is that more than half of the team was either 13 or 14 years old." Head coach Bill Geyer added his assessment of the season. "The younger members of the team knew coming into the sea- son that they were not going to play much; the kids understood and learned a lot more about the game instead of playing on a 13- and-under team." Both Geyer and Johnson felt that the younger baseball players were not getting the baseball training they needed to prepare them for high school ball. So they formed the Coyotes to offer young players a better chance to prepare for the high school ranks. BEFORE THE season began, Geyer and the coaching staff had a little dilemma with the 14-play- er roster: most of the kids were infielders and so it was difficult switching some of the kids to play the outfield. As expected, the team came out of the gates a little slow. But the team started to pick it up in the third week. Since then, the Coyotes reeled off 14 wins in 15 games. The highlight came at a three-day tournament in Cheha- lis. 'Tee were playing teams that had been playing together since they were 13," said Johnson. "We wound up taking second in the tournament, with one of the wins against hometown favorite Che- halls, who had won the state championship when that group was mostly 13. "Our team learned a lot while playing in tournament games," said Johnson. "They also bonded as a team," The coach said team members learned that tourna- ment ball differed dramatically from the regular season. "Instead of going to McDonald's after a game," he said, "they found them- selves having to get ready to play Ace Paving plays in state Another North Mason team has advanced to state tournament play. The Senior Babe Ruth team from North Mason - Ace Paving - follows in the footsteps of the Stingers (girls' 10- to 12-year-old fastpitch) and the North Mason Little League All-Stars (boys, 13- 14 years old). Ace Paving takes a 34-8 record into the state tournament, which began yesterday in Moses Lake. "I'm really pleased with how the kids have played this year," said coach Mark Hansen. "We've picked up a few more players to- wards the end of league play; this should make us very competitive in the double-elimination tourna- ment." Three of-those new players come from North Kitsap. They in- clude Craig Morrison, Ryan O'Connell, and David Camas. Kristian Dahl joins the team from Klahoya High School. ACE PAVING IS one of 10 teams competing in the Senior Babe Ruth League for boys 16-18. This season, the North Mason team finished second overall to Port Angeles Wilder in the Olym- pic League Babe Ruth circuit. The Pavers won their division to earn the state berth. Port An- geles is also in the nine-team tournament. Ace Paving drew a bye and faces the winner of the Federal Way Buzz-Moses Lake River Dogs game. During the season, North Ma- son pitching duties have been path, Biehl is a perfect 27 for 27 in stolen bases. Other offensive threats for the North Mason team include Drew Randolph, who's hitting .446 with 4 homers and 38 RBIs; Landon Fryer, .422 and 29 RBIs; Lance Byers, .373, 15 RBIs; Chris Wil- liamson, .368, 3 HR, 25 RBIs; and Greg Huffman, .364, 1 HR, 12 RBIs.
