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

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."

Aquatics, coached by Greg Meehan.
"One of our swimmers went up to the
Marysville area for a clinic with Davis
and he thought the clinic would be suc-
cessful here," Chad Youngquist, Shelton
head swim coach, said. "The swim club,
Quick Water Swim. brought Davis and
Kennedy here for the clinic. It was a
stretch for our club but it was attended
well with participants from Port Angeles
and Timberline."
Youngquist said the only coach at the
clinic besides him was the Timberline
High School coach because other area
