With the two attack by way of the aerial duo of standouts Rich Broeker at quarterback and Jake Kirkwood at receiver and the potent run- ning of Alex Pittelkau, the Climb- ers' deficit was six points after the hosts' very first possession and 18 by the half. "They have a real solid quar- terback," said Hinkle, noting that Broeker stands about 6-4 and boasts a fine arm. "He's perhaps the best one we've seen up to this point.

Real hard runner. So they're solid in all facets of the game. And they got us down early and we didn't respond." Hinkle admitted it stands to reason that his Climbers would have been emotionally ready to play, having come from behind the week before to win their homecoming game by three points against a pretty good River Ridge team. '/eah, you'd think so," he said. "But it's high-school kids, and it's such a hard button to push, sometimes." MORAL VICTORY? To be sure, said Hinkle, for the first time all season his Climbers got one in the boo-boo department - incurring a season-low six penal- ties to Thurston's ten. "That's the first time all season we've won in the penalty column," he said. "But we still needed to get more mentally focused." Sheetz certainly wasn't lacking in that respect, for one, added the coach. One more yard and it would have been the 5-11, 190- pound junior's fifth straight 100- yard-plus rushing game - and he's still averaging close to 130. "And Jacob Galloway plays very intensely every week," said Hinkle, referring to the Climbers' 6-6, 194-pound senior defensive end. "We were pleased with his game. And Vic Gardenhire (5-5, 153-pound senior) played well at defensive back - played with a lot of intensity." NEXT UP for the now 3-2 Climbers? None other than the Tumwater T-Birds, winners of four straight after their narrow opening loss to the same Rams who took Shelton apart last week. "Their kids are playin' with a lot of enthusiasm," said Hinkle. "It'll be a real test for us." To his boys' advantage, adds Coach, they're playing in High- climber Stadium - where Shelton hasn't lost in now more than a year and a half. And, too, they closed last year's season with an overtime win over these very same T-Birds. Kickoff of tomorrow's game is set for 7 p.m. in Highclimber Stadium. Golfers win two of three The Climber varsity golf boys won two of three the past week and a half, downing North Mason and River Ridge after losing by four strokes to Tumwater. Senior Warren Ayers' medalist 36 in the latter match wasn't enough to offset matching 3% by the T-Birds' top three. Ayers and senior teammate Chris Lang shared medalist hon- ors against River Ridge Tuesday, their 36s fully five strokes better than the top Hawk.

As cancer claims her: Locals go to bat for Pam y CHUCKROBERTSON Wheaton keyed Rich & Sam's Over sixty coed softball players gathered in Callanan Park last weekend for what turned out to be a bittersweet sampling of sport meets life. The objective: to amass some financial aid for localites Brad and Pam Lowe during Pain's struggle with cancer. With entry fees as well as con- tributions from the business com- munity and individuals, the pro- ceeds came to an estimated $2,000 plus. Sadly, Pam lost her battle, suc- cumbing Sunday morning. FOR THE RECORD, the six- team round-robin tournament, hosted by the Fuddpuckers and fashioned after the Fudds' Warm- Up Tournament featuring six squads of individuals mixed and matched from various city-league teams, was won by Wagen Werks, with Carefree Karaoke second. For identification purposes, each team played under the ban- ner of designated Fuddpucker sponsors. WAGEN WERKS, coached by Floyd Smith, topped Denny Smith's Carefree Karaoke squad 15-10 to take top honors as both teams finished atop at 4-1. Rounding out the field were Rich & Sam's Golden Years, Shel- ton Veterinary Hospital, Clam Acres and Wilder Construction. Carefree Karaoke opened play Saturday morning with a 16-9 win over Clam Acres, getting four hits and four runs from leadoff hitter Dave Gerhold. Pare Jones and LuAnne Bar- rett had three hits each for Clam Acres. BARBARA RHOADES scored three and Scotti Crump drove in three to lead Shelton Veterinary Hospital to a 12-6 win over Wild- er Construction. Scott Fisk homered twice for Wilder. John Tinsley's three-run homer keyed Wagen Werk's six-run sixth-inning rally to enable Wa- gen Werks to top Rich & Sam's Golden Years 9-3. Jeff Lyles went deep for Rich & Sam's. Bill Remington went four for four to lead Clam Acres to a 10-4 win over Shelton Veterinary Hos- pital. Shari Fleshman plated three. Carefree Karaoke scored eight in the top of the sixth to pull away from Rich & Sam's 16-7. JOHN TINSLEY homered twice and Wagen Werks out- dueled Wilder Construction 15- 12. Tim Sheedy went yard twice for Wilder. Carefree Karaoke outdistanced Shelton Veterinary Hospital 15-1, getting three hits each from Louise Rioux, Tony Benedict and Jason Demmon. Grant Fox's two-run homer started Wagon Werks on its way to a 7-4 win over Clam Acres. Bill Remington went three for four in a losing effort.

Tim Sheedy homered twice and Nona Plant went two for three for Wilder. SUNDAY'S OPENER saw Shelton Veterinary Hospital top Wagen Werks 15-11 in a game where enthusiasm understand- ably waned considerably as word of Pain's passing filtered through- out the ballpark. Carefree Karaoke downed Wilder Construction 10-5 with Louise Rioux going three for three with three runs and two rbi. Tony Benedict homered and doubled. Scott Fisk homered for Wilder. Rich & Sam's whitewashed Clam Acres 10-0 behind home runs by John Tinsley and Chad Sweitzer. Wagen Werks got a pair of home runs and five rbi from Floyd Smith in its tourney-clinching 15- 10 win over Carefree Karaoke. JASON DEMMON and Tony Benedict had three hits each for Carefree. Shelton Veterinary Hospital rallied for seven in the top of the seventh to beat Rich & Sam's 13- 9. Run-scoring singles by Jennifer Converse and Jackie Remington keyed the scoring splurge. Clam Acres closed out the tour- hey by taking a 17-14 slugtbst win over Wilder Construction. Shari Fleshman rapped out four hits, scored four and drew, m four to lead the way. TOURNEY HON()RS went to MVPs John Tinsley and Debi Johnson of Wagen Werks and to all-stars Jeff Lyles and LuAnne Barrett of Rich & Sam's, Tim Sheedy and Scotti Crump of Shel- ton Veterinary Hospital, Tony Benedict and Louise Rioux of Carefree Karaoke, Pat Rhodes and Stacy Gentry of Wagen Werks, Jamie Marley and Nona Plant of Wilder Construction and Bill Remington and Shari Flesh- man of Clam Acres. Statistical leaders include Tinsley (.750 average, seven homers and 15 rbi), Crump (.530 average with Seven rbi), Flesh- man (seven rbi) and Tony Bene dict (seven homers). Incredibly, there Were 59 over- the-fence hits in the course of the affair, including ground-rule dou- bles. Those who gave are too numer_ ous to list, by the way, but tour- ney director Scotti Crump did name those who donated awards. They include Little Creek Casi- no, CamCo, Mell Chevrolet, Den- ny's Automotive, Lisa's Hair 1st, Twisted Vine, Bob's Tavern, Shooters, Brady Nursery, Brady Trucking, If stain Trucking, Steve Rose, Colo's Corner, LaMent Con- struction, Brenda's Ventures, E.J.

Senior Liz de Waal Malefyt continued her terrorizing ways at the net, registering a game-high 17 kills in the Climbers' 15-11, 15-10 and 15-4 dispatching of Timberline, and in Thursday's 15- 3, 15-5 and 17-15 nod over Aber- deen she knocked down 12 while classmates Willow Shanahan and AshleyMacWilliam added 11 and 10, respectively. Sophomore Rachel Beck had 21 assists to lead in that department against Timberline, and Saori Hattori, the junior veteran with whom she shares time pretty much equally in the setter posi- tion, led the way with 23 against Aberdeen. Serving was a Climber strong noted coach Steve Beck. Shana- han was 14-14 with three aces and MacWilliam 9-10 with four against Timberline, and senior Lissa James led the way with a 16-16 performance with three aces while MacWilliam was 13-16 with a boastworthy eight against Aberdeen. Now 4-1 in league and 9-2 overall, the Climbers travel to Centralia Monday and then play host to Tumwater the next night. The Climber jayvee and C- squad girls took opposing paths, the former bowing both nights after having lost only once pre- viously and the latter prevailing by matching 2-1 counts. Drawing praise from their coaches were Amber Campbell, Vinnie Sherman and Cicely Viss- er among the jayvees and Shaun- na Enger, Jessica Booth, Leanne Gunter and Lisa Williams among the C-squaders.
