By EMILY HANSON

The Mary M. Knight boys' basket-
ball team fell into Neah Bay's trap
last week.
Playing against a 1-2-2 trap press,
the Knight Owls lost at Neah Bay 71-
49.
"Neah Bay scored well, they're a
good team," head coach Tim Diggle
said. "Plus, there were lots of turn-
overs on us."
He said the Owls had a difficult
time running their offense against
Neah Bay's press.
"Even though we worked on it, we
still struggled," Diggle said.
Despite the score, Diggle said the
Knight Owls' defense played well for
the most part.
"On offense, we'd get our open shot,
but couldn't finish," he said.
He called Neah
Bay a good team and
said they are well
disciplined.
Senior Kyle Willey
led the Knight Owls
with eight points.
FRIDAY: Senior Cory O'Neil
Neah Bay .... 71 scored five points and

and four steals.

"It's just another
game," Diggle said. "It was a long bus
trip."
This weekend, the Knight Owls (4-
3) are set to play at a two-day tourna-
ment. Today and tomorrow, Mary M.
Knight will play at North Beach in the
Christmas Tournament.

Climbers fall at
Tahoma

Mt. Tahoma pinned down
the Shelton wrestling team
in a 3A Narrows L~ague
dual match last week. i
Shelton lost 45-36 on Dec.
20 at Mt. Tahoma.
"Overall, we performed
poorly against Mt. Tahoma,"
head coach Chris Lacy isaid.
"The Mt. Tahoma wrestlers
performed well and we got
off of our game plan."
Lacy said bright spots for
Shelton in the match ~ame
from Shelby ,Fratello, Mi-
chael Hackler, Riley Rifle,
Taylor Haskell, Kaitlin
Woods, Forrest Hunter, Alan
Medina and Ben AnderSon.
"Shelby was dominant in
her match, b~t was not able
to stop locking her hands,"
Lacy said. "She did keep her
composure and hit many of
the techniques that we prac-
tice every day."
Hackler, Haskell and
Rifle all showed improve-
ment in their skills, Lacy
said. The three won their
bouts by pin.
"Kaitlin, Forrest and

Alan each
performed
well in
losing ef-
forts,"
Lacy said.
"Forrest
and Alan
each had
their first
experi-
ences in
a varsity
dual."
He said
Anderson
continues
to have an
excellent season.
"He worked on several
new techniques last night
on his way to a second-round
pin," Lacy said.
The biggest improvement
from the Shelton grapplers
came on the girls' team.
"They are starting to
come into their own and will
start to see the benefits of
their hard work very soon,"
Lacy said.
He said the varsity wres-
tlers, especially the seniors,
need to execute at a much
higher level.
"They got off the game-
plan last weekend and have
not got back to where we need
to be," he said. "A lot of things
that we don't recognize as our
technique have been happen-
ing of late. This is costing us
individual matches and ...
led to a loss for our team in a
dual that we should definite-
ly (have won.)"
Lacy said he expects the
team to get back to what
they do next week.
"If not, then we will have
a very tough week of compe-
tition," he said. "Our varsity
team competes at the Pa-
cific Coast Championships
at Fort Vancou,/er next Fri-
day and Saturday. This is a
high level tournament with
numerous outstanding pro-
grams. We will have to com-
pete at a very high level to be
successful."
The girls' and the junior
varsity teams will be com-
peting at North Mason in
the Hawkins Memorial and
Classic Tournaments on Fri-
day and Saturday.
"This is a perfect oppor-
tunity for them to get a lot
of mat time and show how
much they have improved,"
Lacy said.

For a few hours on Saturday, rugby took
over the field at Oakland Bay Junior High.
In the second annual Shelton boys' rugby
alumni game, the alumni came out strong
to defend their victory from last year and
increase their series record to 2-0.
"For a lot of the alumni being out of
shape and not playing for a couple of years,
I was impressed," alumni team captain Josh
Duchene said. "A l'ot of the current players
are learning the game still. Their season
doesn't start until the end of January."
Though no official score was kept for the
15s game -- when both teams play with 15
members on the field -- the alumni players
joked after the game that they had won 45-
7.
Duchene said the game is fun for the
alumni because many of them have spread
out far and wide from Shelton.
"We have one guy from Arizona, one
from New Mexico," he said. "We're coming
from all over and it's good to see that we can
all still play rugby."
Jake Lindley, the current players' team
captain, said he thought his team played
well for its first turnout of the season.
"We haven't started practices yet so we're
still learning," Lindley said. "Learning's the
big thing we're after today."
He said the outcome of the game wasn't
a surprise.
"We usually play on the weekends with a
lot of the alumni guys and they stay pretty
active," he said. "They had us beat on expe-
rience."
Lindley said the upcoming season will be
an exciting one for the boys' team.
"We were state contenders last year," he
added. "It'll be great for the community to
cheer us on."
Duchene wished the current players luck
with their upcoming season.
Saturday was the first time a girls'
alumni game was held, since the girls' team
traditionally has fewer members than the
boys.
Because of a lack of numbers, the girls'
alumni game was a 7s game -- when both
teams play with seven members on the field

--- and was played in two 10-minute halves
during the halftime of the boys' game.
"The girls were even," referee Nick Dean
said. "The first half was dominated by the
alumni and the second half by the current
players."
Once again, no official score was kept.
However Dean said the game was a tie.
"There were some girls out there who
stepped it up and played well," he said. "It
was a fun game all around."
Dean said he can't wait to come back
next year for the alumni games.
Coach Chris Nesmith said the games are
played in December because that is when
most of the alumni players return to the
Shelton area.
