The team's bad luck con- tinued to Dec. 18 when North Kitsap doubled up North Ma- son 48-24. "We struggled a bit from the outside and we were los- ing track of their players at times and giving up some easy buckets," Farrell said. "They did not hurt us from the out- side but were able to find the gaps inside." North Mason's Hannah Womack, Lacy Stark and YuenShan Sze-To finished with five points apiece. The Bulldogs' next game is 7 p.m. Jan. 5 at home against Sequim. Boys have rough start to league Last week, the Bulldogs boys basketball squad opened its Olympic League schedule with two losses.

In the Dec. 16 home game against Mount Tahoma, the Climbers won 69-59. Shelton jumped out to an early 19-14 lead in the first quarter, but the Thunderbirds battled the next two quarters as they stayed neck-and-neck with Shelton. During the final quarter, Shelton outmatched Mount Tahoma and outscored them 22-16. "It was a good game; we started out slack at the begin- ning but we picked it up in the first quarter," head coach Derrick Pringle said. "They're like we are, so it was a good test for us. Overall it was good play, but we still made some little mental mistakes." Junior Kyle Kimball led the team with 15 points, 10 rebounds and added two as- sists. Junior Kobe Bogh added 14 points, three assists and a steal. On Dec. 18, Central Kitsap beat Shelton 78-52. Junior Ty- ler Giraldes led scoring with 11 points, three assists and two blocks. Bogh chipped in nine points and four assists. Pringle said they took the Cougars too lightly. ~They (Central Kitsap) were upset and they were hungry and we took them for granted," Pringle said. "The kids had a half day that day so when the kids are home most of the day they get lazy and start eating stuff they shouldn't. It caught us off guard. We were slack and we battled back in the second quarter but we couldn't over- come that big lead." Shelton's next game is 7 p.m. Dec. 29 at Hoquiam High School. 6-1.

He said he wants to get at least 450 points. Zach said he would like to make it to the state diving meet based on points instead of by wild card. At state, he would like to place among the top eight. Even as a state placer, Jon admitted that some dives, such as reverse dives, still get to him. "You're going straight up and then you're flipping back- wards towards the board," Jon said. "It's pretty scary; it's a lot to think about when you're on the board. But you have to block that part out and focus on your hurdle." At practice and during meets, the brothers feed off each other. Jon said when he sees his brother do a new dive, it encourages him to push himself. Zach said that diving wouldn't be the same without his older brother by his side.

"His kick outs; he always nails the kick outs," Jon said about his younger brother's strengths. "He'll usually kick out above the board and that allows him to dive in better." "His approach, he nails his approach pretty good." Zach said. "He gets really good height and that allows him to do all sorts of stuff."
