Head football coach Mike Evans said both sides of the game were fighting hard in the Owls' 22-20 victory. "We outplayed them through most of the FRIDAY: M00yVL00_22 Taholah ....... 20 TOMORROW: Mary M. Knight vs. Kingsway, I p.m. game until the fourth quar- t e r when inju- ries on our side shift- ed the m o - men- tum," Evans said. ° "I am very proud of our defense.

Climbers outplayed in defeat FRIDAY: SKHS .......... 38 Shelton .......... 7 By EMILY HANSON The Shelton Highclimbers were outplayed across the board during their loss in Port Orchard to South Kitsap High School on Friday, Sept. 23. The Highclimbers had 13 first dovns with 118 rushing yards and 84 passing yards in 46 plays during their six min- utes and nine seconds of possession time against South Kitsap. Comparatively, South Kitsap had 24 first downs with 369 rushing yards and 129 passing yards in 67 plays during the team's 41 minutes and 51 seconds of possession time. "Overall, our reads were pretty good TOMORROW: defensively, but we didn't execute the Shelton vs. way we need to," junior Thomas Gettle Stadium, 7 p.m. said. "We need to play a good 48 minutes. Defensiyely , we tried something new t 0- night and anything new you put in is go- ing to be hard. We practiced hard, but they came out and wanted to win." And win South Kitsap certainly did with a final score of 38-7. "We moved the ball primarily with the hard running of Ralph Kinne," Matt Hinkle, head coach, said. "Nic Gove had a nice touchdown run off an option and David Ajamu caught the ball well although he was double covered often." Kinne led the Highclimbers in rushing with 103 yards on 16 carries while Gove added 29 yards on two carries. Junior quarterback Jared Welander threw for all 84 passing yards, completing 10 of 25 attempts. Ajamu received twice for 31 yards while Kinne added another 18 yards with three receptions and senior wide re- ceiver Dylan Helser contributed 14 yards with one recep- tion. "The defense played well on first and second downs, but they still had the habit of giving up big plays in third and long situations," Hinkle said. "Their aggressiveness im- proved as reflected in more gang tackles." Gettle led the team in tackles with five along with senior ..... tinebacker Zac Fennel, who also had five tackles. Junior linebacker DeShon Bell, Gove, sophomore defensive back Colton Hubble and senior linebacker Cody Tarver all made See Highclimbers on page C-6 D Shelton's I ,(flly Jones leads volleyball team By EMILY HANSON Senior Lolly Jones is leading the Shelton volleyball team in more ways than one. "She's leading the team statistically with kills and digs," volleyball head coach Steve Beck said. "She comes every day ready to get up and get everything." Jones said she has been playing volley- ball for seven years, ever since her brother made her start playing. "My brother was the manager of the team at the middle school, so he made me Lolly play," she said. "As soon as I started play- Jones ing, I found a love of the game." Jones said she loves how the whole game of volleyball is about control. "It's a challenge for me and I'm good at it, so that makes it enjoyable," she added. While Jones said volleyball is a big focus of her life right now, she has bigger plans for her future. "Next year I plan to be in school for nursing so at that point, volleyball will just be what I do for fun," she said. Jones said she wants to go into nursing because she en- joys helping people. "She comes every day ready to get up and get everythingo" "I figure nursing is one of the hardest jobs where you're helping people," she said. "I'm also really interested in the human body, so that'll be fun for me." Another reason Jones became interested in the medical field stems from a personal experience with her family. "My uncle attempted suicide," she said. "He shot himself in the head and somehow the doctors were able to fix him. There's nothing wrong with his body or his mind and that amazed me. I think it would be really cool to be able to help someone like that." Outside of volleyball, Jones also plays basketball and competes in track while maintaining a 3.8 GPA and attend- ing Running Start classes. When she is not in school or playing sports, she said she enjoys hanging out with her friends. "My hobby is sports," Jones said. "I hang out with my friends outside of school and sports. Basically that's all I do." 00thlet00:00 at:::a::Glance: SeliOol: Shelton High Scho01 :Grade: :Senior Fall:spOrt:V61!eyball GPA: :3.8 COntinuing educati0n: E01ted in :Running Start Other:::spr: Basketball :and track }Life!go: To: go::int6 urSing ........................................................... ionS, 10td;: funny :and athletic HobbieS: Playing Sports and hanng0ut With friends U.S. Oly00npic swimmers teach clinic at Shelton High [qp Courtesy of Jacquie MacAlevy Josh Davis and Madison Kennedy dis- cuss the most important thing about swimming - streamline during the swim clinic on Saturday, Sept. 17, at Shelton High School.

Youngquist said the only coach at the clinic besides him was the Timberline High School coach because other area See Clinic on page C-6 Thursday, September 29, 2011 - Shelton-Mason County Journal - Page C-1
