Kinne, a 2013 SHS graduate and a tailback for the Huskies, received the Bob Jarvis Offensive Squad MVP award and saw playing time during UW's win last month against Oregon State University. During the Nov. 21 meeting against OSU, Kinne was called into the game. He had seven carries for 18 yards. "It was amazing," Kinne said. "I was able to show my talent and help my team. It was nice and a blessing." The Huskies beat the Bea- vers 52-7. At the end-of-the-season banquet, Kinne found out he was voted by his teammates to Bhonapha said.

By ALEXANDRIA VALDF..Z alexandria@masoncounty, com At the end of Friday night's game, the Central Kitsap Cougars were vic- torious once again in the Shelton Mini- Dome. The Cougars beat the Climbers 52-44, and the Shelton players walked into the locker room with their heads down. But head coach Aaron Leth looked at the big picture. He wasn't happy with a loss, but he was proud of the team's gusto. "Coming off last year, where we won three games, we're 4-4 right now with a tough loss tonight," Leth said. "But we have the confidence and that's what these girls need." Friday night's efforts proved this season the Highclimbers are in it for the long haul. In the opening minutes of the game, the two 3A Narrows League teams bat- tied. The Cougars went to the line after an early foul by Shelton senior Aurora Gouley. After Central Kitsap sopho- more Ellie Potts nailed her two shots, the Cougars went to work. Central Kitsap out matched Shelten in height and speed, but the Climbers didn't just roll over. The Highclimbers were led by freshman Timber Ware, who has exploded on the Narrows League scene this year and dropped 10 points in the first half. As the Cougars shots dropped, the Climbers sank theirs. After Ware sunk a jump shot with under two minutes to go, Shelton took its first lead of the night. "Before this game, she was averag- ing about 18 points a game," Leth said. "I'm getting calls from coaches like the Lincoln coach and even the Wilson coach saying 'Hey, who's this fresh- man? What's going on?' The secret is out there. It's the real deal."

So I thought we did good too. We helped each other a lot." Last year in the two games against Central Kitsap, the Climbers were out- scored a combined 122-43. One of the biggest reasons the team clicked Friday night was because of team unity. "We're a better team and we have a better bond," Johnson said. "We just have a way with each other and we're a good team. Especially when we're all on the same page, nothing can stop us."
