Helser trapped the ball between his thigh and hands and then carried it upfield for 21 yards. By EMILY HANSON During its final game of the season the Shelton football team had the op- portunity to put forth a better showing against Central Kitsap than it did ear- lier this season. In the Highclimbers' first game against CKHS, on Friday, Sept. 16, they lost 53-14 to the Cou- gars and were only competi%ive during the first half. FRIDAY: On Friday, Nov. 4, CKHS .......... 43 the Climbers compet- Shelton ........ 27 ed for all four quarters and cut their points allowed by half, losing 43-27. "I thought the kids all season long practiced and prepared hard and Fri- day night they came out focused and competed for 48 minutes," Matt Hinkle, head coach, said. "They did pretty well for the last game." Hinkle said the encouraging aspect of this game was that the Climbers were able to check their progress, since they had already played the Cougars. "In that first game, we played well for about a half and this one we com- peted the whole game," he said. "Our competitiveness improved." Junior running back DeShon Bell said the team fought for four quarters and got closer to reaching its potential. "We played way better than the first time we played CK," he said. "I think we're happy we played hard every game this season. We would've liked a better rec6rd but we're happy with how we bonded as a team." Junior quarterback Jared Weland- er completed nine of 22 passes for 75 yards. Leading the rushing game was junior running back Ralph Kinne with 114 yards on 21 carries and two touch- downs. Bell was not far behind with 109 yards on nine carries and two TDs while junior running back Thomas Gettle rushed for 51 yards on four carries and Welander picked up 36 yards on four carries. Junior wide receiver David Ajamu received twice for 21 yards while senior wide receiver Dylan Helser received once for 21 yards. Leading the defensive effort was Get- tle with five tackles and one sack. Se- nior linebacker Jethro Wily also tackled five times while senior lineman Cody Tarver contributed with four tackles. Before the Highclimbers played their final game, the Narrows League coach- es voted on the All-League teams and Hinkle brought some good news: Gettle made the first team as a linebacker, Ajamu made the first team as a tight end and Bell made the first time as a defensive lineman. Making the second team was Kinne as a running back.
