A Cherry Crest Elementary art teacher was arrested Tuesday night after police received re-ported allegations of child rape and molestation.

Regan Brewer, 50, was taken into custody by Bellevue Police on Jan. 27. He was released from

the King County Jail the next day, according to Bellevue Police Det. Amanda Jensen.

As of press time Brewer had yet to be formally charged by prosecutors as the investigation is ongoing, according to King County District At-torney’s office.

Det. Jensen said she couldn’t comment on what led to Brewer’s arrest, only that he was not

taken into custody at the school and that the alleged incident involved a minor.

Following the arrest, Brewer was placed on administrative leave pending the investigation, according to the Bellevue School District.

Sound Transit tracked — from station to station — its plans for mitigating impacts from light rail in Bellevue with the City Council on Monday.

The transit agency will return in two weeks to provide greater detail regarding a pending 5-year closure of the South Bellevue Park & Ride — to be replaced by a light rail station and parking garage — and managing traffic impacts on Bellevue Way.

East Link EastLink Deputy Director Don Billen said Sound Transit has partnered with King County Metro to identify replacement parking sites during the park and ride’s closure, and is looking at underused P&Rs and lots for lease further east along Interstate 90. A temporary parking lot south of the park and ride will be constructed for accessing the Mercer Slough Nature Park.

Councilmembers expressed concerns about “wheel squeal” from the flange of train wheels rubbing against the track at curves. Sound Transit mitigated this problem following Central Link’s completion with lubricators — activated by approaching trains to release a non-petroleum lubricant. Billings said lubricators will be installed along the East Link alignment, particularly where high speeds and elevation would cause the most noise.

A deal has been struck with property owners for the Bellefield Office Park to cover the cost of a traffic signal at Southeast 15th Street and 112th Avenue Southeast, which will allow left turns out of the park to continue after light rail begins. Billings said the agreement with the office park is similar to one Sound Transit has with Microsoft for a ped-bike bridge across State Route 520.

The Bellevue Arts Com-mission has completed a logistical review of how the city may be able to partner with the not-for-profit group behind the Tateuchi Center to accomplish its capital financing goals for constructing the perform-ing arts center.

Commission members joined with Performing Arts Center Eastside execu-tive director John Haynes on Tuesday to provide a presentation of work and

design plans for the Tateu-chi Center to downtown residents.

BAC Chairwoman Mary Pat Byrne said legal and financial research has been completed regarding the feasibility of a public-private partnership between

the city and PACE, and a consultant’s independent review of operating pro forma has led both sides to agree on the right budget for the project.

the soccer-style goal and the team scores its much needed 50 points. Then it takes off for its next assignment, activating a level and catching a “ring” before it hits the floor.

While it may only be a practice, Blanco and her teammates celebrate the robot’s efficiency carrying out the missions. It’ll need to be speedy if they hope to take home the trophy.

Blanco and her 11 friends make up two of the few all-girls teams, and among the youngest, competing in this Saturday’s FIRST LEGO League (FLL) Western Washington State Championship held at the ShoWare Center in Kent.

Her team, “Minions in Disguise,” received the mechanical design award during the last round of competition and her friend’s “Blue Angels” team received the programming award for using outstanding programming principles.

Catalina’s mother, Marjorie Blanco, a soft-ware engineer for Boeing who coaches both all-girls teams as well as a third, co-ed team, “The Dark Knights,” said she couldn’t be prouder as all three advanced to the champi-onship out of the 450 teams competing.

“Even though they’re mostly elementary school students, these girls are our future leaders,” Blanco said, adding she hopes they continue to sharpen their skills and find joy in STEM fields. “This is my second year of coaching robotics. I did it because there’s not that many strong female role models they can look up to.”

The FLL, a division of FIRST (For Inspira-tion and Recognition of Science and Tech-nology), introduces younger students, ages 9 to 14, to real-world engineering challenges or “missions” by building and programming LEGO-based robots to complete tasks on a specific, thematic playing surface.

“It really gives them an opportunity to explore in a safe environment. To not be afraid of taking risks,” Marjorie said. “For us, it’s not just about the core, but the overall presentation. Did they take time to critically think about their project? Are they going to do this again? What are their core values? I’m really proud of their effort. The entire teams are very supportive of each other.”

Their teamwork has been a key component of their success and their drive to fix whatever problem is thrown their way, she added.

Afifah Kashif, 10, said the ability to lean on her teammates when they’re struggling to figure out what might have gone wrong with their robot has led them to the championship.

“It’s the engineering design process. Think of what we want to do and test it,” she said.

If the robot doesn’t move the amount of space they were trying for, or turns at the wrong angle to maneuver across the playing surface, it may be frustrating, but it certainly doesn’t keep any of the teams down, Kashif said.

“If it doesn’t work the first time, we’ll do it two more times, check the angle, recheck the angle,” she said. “We don’t let it take us down.”

Kashif ’s compadres, 11 year olds Neil Chowdhury and Jessica Massey, echoed her resilience.

“It’s stressful when the robot doesn’t work,” Chowdhury said, adding the 2 minute 30 second time limit each team has to get their robot to complete missions certainly adds to the intensity. “Maybe it’s turning too much, but whatever the problem is, we have to just keep trying.”

The competition is slated to begin at 9 a.m. at the Kent ShoWare Center, 625 W. James St., and the event is free to the public.

“No matter what happens they’re in the championship and I’m proud,” Marjorie said.

Putter Bert said she never dreamed of the success KidsQuest has had when it opened in Factoria a decade ago, but Wednesday, she and roughly 50 com-munity members, leaders, and officials stood at the doorway of the new home for the children’s museum and reveled in how far they’ve come in 10 years.

“Can you believe it? We own this building,” Bert told the crowd outside the former Rosalie Whyel Museum of Doll Art.

The celebration was many years in the making, KidsQuest’s president and CEO said. In 2012, the building was selected as KidsQuest’s expansion site, and nearly three years of work and $6.35 million worth of fundraising later, she held the key to the museum’s future.

Bert said she hopes the new site to be up and running in the first half of 2016, but to do so, an additional $6.35 million needs to be raised by the end of the year, a task she said the staff is up for.

“I never thought we’d be as success-ful as we are,” she told the Reporter. “Last year we offered 24 new programs in addition to the roughly 600 other we’ve been providing. We want to be the institutional resource for parents

and children in the region.”And they’re certainly getting there,

more than tripling their proposed an-nual visitors from 60,000 to 180,000. Once the new facility is renovated, Bert said that number could skyrocket even further. The location has a lot to do with that, she said.

“We’re creating a real family complex here with the library and Ashwood Park so close,” Bert said. “We focus on early learning and interactive play, but at the current site there’s no real outdoor space. We

have some of the best educators and they’re so good at reaching children’s minds and imaginations at their level, whether they like to blow stuff up or get messy.”

The new facility, which will have twice the exhibit space, is designed to better incorporate multi-sensory learning and hands-on exhibits includ-ing an interactive water feature and climbable tree fort.

A Bellevue man is facing felony charges for an alleged 9-day crime spree that involved stealing convenience checks from mailboxes around the area and racking up $13,000 in purchases with a stolen debit card.

Police report Taras Prokopchuk, 30, was charged in King County Superior Court on Jan. 23 with one count of first-degree identity theft and two counts of forgery. Prokopchuk remains in King County Jail, with bail set at $50,000. His next court appearance is Feb. 4 at the King County Court-house in Seattle.

According to a police report, Prokopchuk stole 16 conve-nience checks linked to credit card accounts for 14 victims and deposited funds into an account belonging to a woman whose debit card he stole from her mailbox. He is alleged to have used the debit card with stolen funds to make transac-tions in Bellevue, Seattle, Aberdeen, Forks and Edmonds.

Prokopchuk was allegedly careful to conceal his face while using ATMs, according to the report, but police were able to use footage at a 7-11 to track the Bellevue man as he left the store and approached a Redbox kiosk. A search warrant for video footage from the kiosk was granted, providing a better image of Prokopchuk, whose identity was confirmed by a former Bellevue school resource officer who had worked at Robinswood High School when he was a student.

Question of the week: “Should the city of Bellevuehelp � nance the proposed performing arts center?”

When I was a kid my mother handed down the o� -repeated threats of mothers

everywhere: Some day you are going to have a daughter just like you. Imagine my relief when my � rst child was a boy.

Karma catches up to us no matter what and my son is in fact, just like me. I also now have a daughter just like me. Sometimes their sarcastic

zingers catch me o� guard and I’m unsure as to whether I should be o� ended or applaud their creativity.

I’ve been terrible at recording milestones in baby books, but since they’ve been able to talk, both my kids have a Word

document � lled with the funny and terrible things they say. I plan on pre-senting it to them when they become parents.

It’s not easy being a teen, nor is it easy to be a parent. I’ve now been on both sides of the coin and have felt I am right both times. I have also felt that nobody listens to me. Funny how that works. I’m also keenly aware of how an

innocent comment can come across meaner than I ever intended it. I’m not the only parent (read: former teen) who feels this way.

Please come to the Bellevue Library at 7 p.m. Feb. 3 for a program called Bridging � e Communication Gap Between Parents and Teens. � is pre-sentation is by Galit and Pam from the city of Bellevue Parent-Teen Media-tion Program, which is a free program through the city of Bellevue that helps parents and teens sort through their problems and set realistic goals that work for everyone.

Distracted driving has become a scourge in our state. It’s bad enough that drivers routinely break the law by us-ing cellphones to make calls and send text messages.

What’s worse is that cellphones now also are used by drivers for so many other things: sur� ng the Web, writing emails, checking Twitter. All are dangerous activities when you’re driving. And all of them are legal.

Fortunately, the Legislature has a chance to � x that. A bill expected to be introduced this week would ban

cellphone use while driving, except for making calls with hands-free devices. We expect there will be howls of indig-nation from the public. And some legislators are wary of limiting cellphone use.

But, really?How is it possible to equate safe driving with taking your

eyes o� the road to compose and send an email? And when did checking and sending Tweets become so urgent?

We can see every day how holding a cellphone to an ear can make a driver clueless to such things as tra� c speed or stop lights. It’s the same — maybe worse — for other uses of cellphones or tablets.

Many states already ban using cellphones for many web activities. Washington state should, too.

Seahawks timeIt’s almost here.

� e Super Bowl. And Seattle’s chance — a good one, we think — to ce-

ment what is likely to be the true birth of a dynasty.No more having to deal with de� ate gate.No more eye-rolling over � nes for Marshawn Lynch not

ick shenanigans.Just football now.Seahawks football.Go ‘Hawks.

Sale of Sherwood Center to close in late 2015BY BRANDON MACZBELLEVUE REPORTER

The Sherwood Center in the Crossroads area of Bel-levue is under contract to sell to a residential developer, the deal expected to close in late 2015.

Merlone Geier Partners agent Jim Alexander tells the Reporter the 628,221-square-foot lot is under contract to sell to a residential developer, but more information is not being released due to terms of a contract agreement.

The site had previously been anchored by Trader Joe’s at 15400 N.E. 20th St. The grocery store relocated down the street last year. Remaining businesses include Super-cuts, Heidi’s Cleaners and Zenyai Noodle House.

Venture Construction is currently constructing the Bel-Red Apartments at 2070 Bel-Red Road — between the Sherwood Center and Overlake Crossing Center

— for A Goodman Real Estate/Carlyle Group JV. The $55-million project includes three apartment towers with 352 residential units, and is slated for completion this summer.

Tech-centered real estate broker-age company Redfin ranks Bellevue’s Woodridge community among the top-10 hottest neighborhoods in the country for 2015, but agent Michael Fleming says it lacks the inventory to meet the demand.

“That’s the problem is inventory,” he said. “There’s literally three single-fami-ly properties on the market, right now.”

Redfin reports the median sales price for homes in Woodridge at $615,000, spending a median eight days on the market. Houses facing west can sell for more than $1 million, Fleming said.

“It’s all the same buyers competing for the same houses,” he said of de-mand for the few Woodridge homes currently available. “It’s pretty brutal.”

Developers are buying up older lots to remodel and sell, but Fleming said the majority of buyers are those plan-

ning to reside in Woodridge homes. He added some homebuyers are even outbidding builders, which is affecting new construction.

The attraction comes from Wo-odridge’s proximity to higher-rated schools in Bellevue, as well as increas-ing employment in the city from tech companies like T-Mobile, Expedia and Bungie, Fleming said.

Woodridge ranks eighth among Redfin’s top-10 hottest U.S. neighbor-hoods in 2015.

The Sherwood Center in Bellevue is under contract to sell to a residential developer, with closing anticipated in late 2015.


Bellevue bests Seattle for top Washington cities for mil-lenial job seekers, according to an analysis by consumer finance site NerdWallet. That Bellevue population grew nearly 10.5 percent from 2010 to 2013.

“It’s also kind of where are the places where there’s the biggest bang for your buck for jobs and payroll,” said Spencer Tierney, NerdWallet analyst, of the report.

The millenial population in Bellevue — many seeking or landing tech sector jobs — was at 29,624 or 23 percent in 2013. The average worker payroll in 2012 was $77,376.

Seattle still tops Bellevue with a 187,477 millenial population in 2013, but only grew 7.6 percent from 2010 to 2013 and with a 2012 average worker payroll of $62,215. That placed it fourth on NerdWallet’s list, just under Bellevue, Tierney said.

Redmond topped NerdWallet’s list with only 15,287 millenials in 2013, but a $123,152 average worker payroll in 2012 and a lower unemployment rate than either Se-attle or Bellevue, at 4.4 percent. Richland came in second in the rankings.

exploring committing $10 million to $20 million toward the performing arts center’s capital costs, PACE having raised about $65 million since 2002. Haynes said $132 million needs to

be raised to complete the project. If the city gets on board, Byrne said gover-nance of the performing arts center may need to change from the PACE board model now in play.

The arts commission and PACE will provide a report on their findings and potential partnership

options to the City Council on Feb. 9.

“We think it’s going to be a series of baby steps,” Byrne said of the process moving forward.

Haynes told residents about interest from major performance companies like the Seattle Symphony and Pacific Northwest Bal-let in playing at the Tateu-chi Center when complete, as well as how the project will benefit the public.

A 5,500-square-foot “studio theatre” would be used for arts education classes, black box per-forming space for smaller

or emerging performance companies, social events and more.

“We think it’s the right project and Bellevue is exactly the right place for it,” Haynes said.

Haynes said his profes-sional assessment of the project so far leads him to believe construction won’t occur before summer 2017, and the project is expected to take two years to com-plete.

Neither the BAC nor PACE provided what kind of funding mechanism could be used by the city through a public-private partnership, and Byrne said that is a discussion for the City Council.

Sound Transit has one 5-year contract for construc-tion projects from I-90 to the East Main Station, which includes reconstructing a portion of 112th Avenue South-east over where the rail alignment crosses to the west side of the road. Billings said it will be up to the contractor to determine when that project will be scheduled, and plans are to keep one lane of 112th open in both direc-tions as that occurs. A signaled pedestrian crossing is also planned on 112th at the East Main Station.

An East Main Street Park is proposed to be sited where staging for mining an underground tunnel from just north of the East Main Station to the Bellevue Transit Center Station — connected to city hall — is to take place.

Billen said traditional tunnel mining methods will be used for this project — as it was for the Beacon Hill tun-nel — and not boring machines. The council requested Sound Transit detail how much earth will be removed from the tunnel and retained cut along Bellevue Way and how that may impact traffic.

Nighttime and weekend lane closures are expected on Interstate 405 —to run a bridge across it from North-east Sixth Street for light rail as it heads to the Hospital Station. Billen said support columns will be erected on the east and west side of I-405 and lanes will be closed whenever a portion of the bridge or tracks are being constructed overhead. He added a pedestrian path will be constructed from the Hospital Station to 116th Avenue Northeast.

Most Bellevue light rail stations are now at 60- and 90-percent design completion, but the 120th (Avenue Northeast) Station is still at 30 percent. Billen told the Reporter that Sound Transit is in discussions with Spring District developer Wright Runstad about possibly fund-ing additional station enhancements there.

A spokeswoman for Bellevue School District, told the Reporter the school was operating as normal Wednesday, but couldn’t comment further as to what was happening with the classes Brewer taught.

Cherry Crest Elementary principal Liz Ritz sent out a letter to parents Wednesday, stating the district will not conduct its own investigation until the criminal investigation is complete.

“Allegations of inappropriate conduct by any adult are taken very seriously,” Ritz wrote. “Parents may under-standably be concerned that a teacher, a trusted adult who had regular contact with their child, is being inves-tigated for inappropriate contact with a minor.”

School counselors were on hand to speak with any students about their feelings and concerns, she stated

in the letter and outlined some strategies that could help their children understand and cope.

Ritz stated it’s important for parents to maintain their composure as children often model the behavior of their parents and may look to them for cues on how to react. She also asked parents to make themselves available to their children, as they may need extra time and attention from them, especially as they may have questions.

The principal said she and district employees will not be able to comment on this matter as it may im-pede the criminal investigation.

Ritz ended the letter asking parents to be mindful of what’s said versus what’s fact.

“I also want to strongly discourage any speculation as this is an ongoing investigation and rumors can be very harmful to students and staff,” she wrote.

Usually home to ambitious musical spectacles, Village Theatre’s year-beginning midseason production is the company’s op-portunity to slow down and catch its breath on a pared-down production.

But in the case of Mark Brown’s “Around the World in 80 Days,” directed by David Ira Goldstein, there’s ambition to be found in modesty. The production takes a cast of five and tasks them with filling a dramatis personae of 39, a feat accomplished with healthy doses of humor, fourth wall breaks and good old-fashioned pretend time.

Brown’s script is a farcical take on Jules Verne’s classic adventure novel. In the hands of Goldstein and the cast, the show takes its production limitations and mines the necessary compromises for laughs — be the situation pantomime, rapid-fire character changes or epic spectacles that always seem to be happening beyond the edge of the stage. They’re constructing an elaborate inside joke and they’re inviting the audience inside.

The story hews closely to that of the novel. Phileas Fogg (Jared Michael Brown) is a strait-laced upper class Briton who conducts his life according to a rigid schedule. What

goes unappreciated by the people around him is that his eccentricities aren’t an attempt to find solace in routine, but rather a personal tribute to the precision of a mathematical life. When the Daily Telegraph publishes an article postulating that newly built lines of public transport could allow the globe to be circumnavigated in 80 days, Fogg stakes his fortune on a bet that he can make the journey

himself.Soon he spirits off with his French valet,

Passepartout (Chris Ensweiler), to prove the possibility of the trip. But things prove more difficult than they seem, as a case of mistaken identity, unfinished train tracks, repeatedly missed boats and the attempted human sacrifice of Indian beauty Aouda (Aneesh Sheth in her first Village production) conspire

against them.This show is fun, plain and simple. Simply

keeping track of the rapid fire character changes is an endless source of amusement. The bulk of the character list is carried by Ja-son Collins and Eric Polani Jensen (Ensweiler and Sheth have few character swaps before they settle into their main roles, while leading man Brown has none at all).

Each man is a delight in his own way. It comes down to the difference between finesse and power. Collins is a preternatural chameleon, adopting the mannerisms of each character he plays completely.

Meanwhile Jensen is too distinctive to sus-pend disbelief — so the show doesn’t bother. Consequently, Collins receives the most masterful stage changes — a prop moves here, audience attention is misdirected there and, boom, he’s transformed —while Jensen’s shifts are made intentionally awkward and obvious for the sake of the laugh.

After getting a small taste of Sheth’s comic timing and dramatic flexibility early in the show, you can’t help but mourn a small loss when she permanently becomes the more sedate and serious character of Aouda — who

‘Around the World in 80 Days’ is fun for all ages

80 DAYSCONTINUED FROM PAGE 7


A group of kings, queens, music mak-ers, dreamers, fakers and booty shakers are swooping in to dazzle audiences of all ages.

On the heels (and toes, arms and backs) of their hugely successful international tour across North America, Circus Oz is return-ing to the Pacific Northwest Feb. 5-8 at the Moore Theatre in Seattle.

The company uses physical comedy, stunt-jumping acrobatics, juggling, unicycling, trapeze flying and cheeky impersonations to satirize “the rising tide of information, speed, consumerism, visual pollution, television, the ‘net’ and today’s manic fast-paced lifestyles,” according to a press release from the Seattle Theatre Group, which operates the Moore.

Set to music performed by Circus Oz’s live acrobatic band, the group’s newest show “But Wait… There’s More,” draws in audiences with its larger-than-life stunts.

Each show is co-created based on the ideas and unique skills of the cast, which are, “then woven into the core concept of the show, like layers of a collage,” said Mike Finch, Circus Oz’s artistic director.

As Australia’s circus community has bal-looned, Finch and the other members of the directing team set it upon themselves to cast an equal number of men and women with various backgrounds and skills for the new show.

“With so many new artists joining our en-semble, we were excited about the explosion of ideas and creativity that emerged through the collaborative process,” he said.

Using those talents, including the show’s emcee, who interacts with the audience throughout, Circus Oz is able to make its editorial comment on the world and its people’s constant need to be more, have more and do more.

For information about Circus Oz or to purchase tickets, visit www.stgpresents.org.

Circus Oz’s launches new spectacle

primarily exists, in the origi-nal novel and the show, to prove Fogg’s compassion.

No such loss is felt for Ensweiler, who inhabits the liveliest single charac-ter in the show as Passep-artout.

Ensweiler turns the Frenchman into a living cartoon, walking right up to

the line of bombast without crossing over into obnox-iousness. His best moments are the ones spent alone with Jensen’s incompetent Detec-tive Fix. But his interplay with Brown is great as well — their scenes feel a bit like the Bobcat Goldthwait/Neil Patrick Harris buddy comedy that never was.

It’s almost a shame for Brown, who’s tasked with playing the stoic and unflap-pable straight man in the

middle of all the slapstick. He’s the designated driver at his own birthday party. But he carries the show well and is ultimately rewarded for it: Near the end he delivers one great line that feels like the punchline to a 100-minute setup.

“Around the World in 80 Days” is a fantastic ride that comes highly recommended. And bring the kids — this is the rare show that has a little something for anyone.

The largest concrete pour in the history of Bellevue will occur this weekend as part of the expansion of Lincoln Square. The pour is for the new $1.2 billion mixed-use expansion of Kemper Devel-opment Company’s Bellevue Collection.

The 13,800 cubic yard pour will begin at midnight on Saturday, Jan. 31, and end mid-morning Sunday. The project will require clos-ing several lanes of traffic around the downtown proj-ect from 1 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 31, to 9 a.m. Sunday, Feb. 1.

Full lane closures will occur on: Bellevue Way northbound and south-bound from Northeast Fourth to Northeast Eighth streets, with local access southbound from Eighth only — the northbound curb lane remaining closed as late as 4 p.m. Feb. 1; Northeast Fourth eastbound and west-bound from Bellevue Way to 106th Avenue Northeast; Northeast Fourth east-bound from 102nd Avenue Northeast to Bellevue Way; and Northeast Sixth Street

eastbound and westbound from Bellevue Way to 105th Avenue Northeast.

The concrete will be for the Lincoln Square expan-

sion for its south parking garage.

The expansion is sched-uled for first occupancy in 2016.

Issaquah wins 11 of 14 matches against Newport BY SHAUN SCOTTBELLEVUE REPORTER

It just wasn't the Newport Knights night against the Issaquah Eagles in a matchup between Class 4A KingCo wrestling squads.

Issaquah cruised to a 66-9 vic-tory against Newport on Jan. 22 at Issaquah High School. The Eagles won 11 of the 14 matches.

Newport head coach Michael Chenoweth was disappointed with his team's showing. The Knights won only two matches. Nolan Richardson (285) won by pin and Andrew Coyle (152) won by decision.

There also was a double forfeit in the match.

The Knights had a much better performance the previous week in a 37-29 loss against Inglemoor on Jan. 15.

"The difference between last week and this week is that we came into the (Inglemoor) match ready to compete and this week for whatever reason, tonight we just weren't there," Chenoweth said. "We want our guys to go out and compete every match. Every once in awhile you kind of just chalk one up and move on. Issaquah is a very tough team but we were hoping to compete a little better tonight."

Chenoweth said there's no room for error once postseason action kicks off

in the next few weeks."Come tournament time if you have

a distracted day, the season is over," he said.

Issaquah longtime head coach Kirk Hyatt was ecstatic to see his team fin-ish the match with seven pins.

"In baseball it's home runs, in wres-tling it's pins," Hyatt said with a smile. "We don't just go for the win. We always go for the pin. That is our goal every time. We train for that."

Issaquah wrestlers Steven Solu-sod (113), Dakota Kutz (120), Chip Howell (132), Hunter Hurley (145), Colby Starren (160), Chance Gunther

(182) and David Corbett (195) all won by pin. William Tickman (106), Gunner Starren (126), Kaleb Solusod (138) and Bryce Magee (170) won by forfeit. The Eagles improved their overall record to 4-2 with the win. Hyatt believes his team is peaking at the right time.

"We had a couple of tough matches early on. We lost to Inglemoor and Mount Si. We have got Bothell and Skyline left on our schedule. We're going to finish in the top three or four of our league and we're good with

Knights lose showdown to Eagles

Going into the 2014-15 season, Bellevue Wolver-ines wrestling head coach Kyle Smith knew his squad had a multitude of talented grapplers on

its varsity roster, but he didn’t envision a possible unde-feated season in dual matches.

The Wolverines, who finished in 13th place at the Mat Classic Class 3A state tournament last season, have

put together a 5-0 record in duals thus far. The undefeated mark has even eclipsed Smith’s early season expectations.

“This year we only have four seniors on the team. We’re more of a state-built team instead of a dual meet team just because of our lack of depth in some spots of our lineup,” Smith said in early December. “I think we can finish in the top five in state.”

The Wolverines have stepped up their game on the mat this season in dual matches and are bonafide contenders to finish in one of the top spots on the podium at the Mat Classic at the Tacoma Dome in February. Bellevue earned its fifth win with a 41-33 victory against the Mercer Island Islanders on Jan. 23 in Mercer Island. Smith said it’s the first time they’ve defeated their arch-rival in the past eight years.

“It was pretty awesome for us to beat them and come out on top,” Smith said. “It’s been a really long time since we have won against them. I wish it was a home match, but we still had a good crowd there. The kids

that,” Hyatt said. “We’re looking to the postseason

tournament time.”Hyatt, who has coached

the Eagles wrestling squad for the past 20 years, gradu-ated from Issaquah in the mid-1970s. He sees a lot similarities from the Eagles of yesteryear and the Eagles of today.

"We have a wonderful tradition. The kids on this team are wrestling just like we did back in the day. They fight hard every single day," he said. "I'm going to hang around and coach as long as I can."

were pretty excited to beat them. Mercer Island tends to be one of our biggest rivals in all sports.”

The key to Bellevue’s vic-tory against Mercer Island was winning courtesy of pinning combinations. Bellevue registered pins in five of its seven wins against Mercer Island. Wrestlers capture six team points for a victory by pin and just three points for a victory by

decision. Jake Myers (126), Brennan Holmes (106), Christian Villani (160), John Mancuso (182) and Zach England (195) all won their matches via pin. Paul Johnson (132) won by tech-nical fall. Holmes, Johnson and Myers are all freshman newcomers making their presence felt in the varsity lineup in their inaugural high school season.

“We have a lot of fresh-man who have come in and picked up the slack. That has been very helpful for us. Getting those pins was

pretty big because it gave us the bonus points we needed to win the match,” Smith said. “That is what helps us at the state tournament, too. When you have a lot of pins, it’s like having an extra wrestler at the match or tournament.”

Making the Wolverines accomplishments all the more impressive is the fact that only 17 grapplers are on the team as of late January. The majority of wrestling squads with un-defeated records and state tournament aspirations rely on gargantuan rosters of 40

to 50 athletes to create com-petition in the mat room. The Wolverines don’t have that luxury and it hasn’t deterred them one iota.

“We have a small team so it’s so important for every single one of them to be at practice day in and day out so everyone has practice part-ners,” he said. “These guys are working hard every day.”

That work ethic exhibited in the mat room off of Wol-verine Way is paying off in full for Bellevue grapplers.
