Shelton heading to Port
Orchard this Friday
By EMILY HANSON
It was a game of two
halves for the Shelton High-
climbers on Friday, Sept. 16,
when they played at home
against Central Kitsap.
"It was a good first half,"
Matt Hinkle, head coach,
said. "The kids competed
well but then

The
High-
climbers
stayed
fairly
close with
Central
Kitsap
during the
first half,
ending the
first quar-
ter tied
7-7 and
going into the second quar,
ter down 21-7, a situation
similar to last week's game
at Black Hills.
This week had an en-
tirely different ending. In
the final 24 minutes of the
game, the Cougars scored
32 points, 21 of them in the
third quarter alone.
"Central Kitsap is a good
team," Hinkle said. "In the
last couple of years they've
been top-tier. We fought in
the first half and they came
out and fought in the second
and we didn't respond well."
Along with more penal-
ties than the Highclimbers
would've liked to see, the
team also saw one of its se-
nior starters transported
from the game on the
stretcher. With 1:21 left in
the third quarter, senior Joe
Strand broke his ankle.
"Joe is doing fine," Hinkle
said. "Joe's is Joe; his com-
posure is real solid. He's
dealt with a lot of adversity
and how he responds is very
admirable."
