TONASKET - Tonasket track and field coach Bob Thornton is hoping that the focus and deter-mination of his returning athletes is contagious.

“One thing I have heard a lot this year is how bad they want it this year,” Thornton says. “Their

example will help everyone to have a successful season.”

Thornton’s emphasis has been on each athlete continually shoot-ing for personal bests, which when successful translates into constant improvement.

“The goal is to have everyone set new PRs a the end of the sea-son,” Thornton says. “If they can do that, then we should do well as a team as well. We have good leadership this year so we com-bine hard wok with having fun. It should be another great season.”

In at least one case a person-al best would translate into a school record. Senior pole vaulter Kathryn Cleman set the school

record last year and will be aim-ing to for a state qualifying per-formance this time around.

Three Tigers who did make it to state are back this season. Kylie Dellinger, Cassie Spear and Rose Walts comprised three quarters of the state-qualifying 4x400 relay team and could be looking at a return in that event, as well as in individual events.

“Kylie is running well and focused on doing her best in distance events,” Thornton says. “Cassie is looking like she will start this year right where she left off last year in the 400. Rose is strong again in the hurdles.”

On the boys’ side, Ethan Bensing was possibly the best tri-ple jumper in the state that had to sit out the state meet. He finished fourth at regionals to miss out on a trip to Cheney, but his jumps throughout the season surpassed many of those who were state medalists.

“After winning league last year in the 400 as a freshman, Ryan Rylie is running stronger than ever and will be pushed by (freshman) Beau Cork this year,” Thornton adds.

As always, the goal is to earn a spot at the state finals.

“Once again we have a lot of

new and talented athletes this year,” Thornton says. “We have a

lot of potential as the season goes on to do well as a team.”

OROVILLE - The signs around Oroville High School celebrate

a track and field dynasty in the making.

There are no signs that the Hornets will be slowing down this year as they bring back six athletes that finished last year at the state finals meet in Cheney, many of them qualifying in mul-tiple events.

The goal this year is to add to those numbers and move higher up the medal podium in those events, as well as the girls shoot-

ing for a fifth straight league title.“The coaching staff is look-

ing forward to one of the most exciting track seasons in recent years,” says Oroville coach Harold Jensen.

He ticks off nearly every athlete on his small but competitive team as a potential state qualifier.

Everyone in Oroville knows about distance runner Sierra Speiker, a state qualifier in both cross country and track in every

season of her high school career and owner of three cross country state titles and last year’s 3200-meter run championship. Last year she also finished fifth in the 1600 and qualified in the 800 and will be looking to add to her medal collection in her final high school season before heading off to the University of Idaho next year.

Senior Kaitlyn Grunst quali-fied in the long jump and triple

jump and taking sixth in the high jump. Grunst, Speiker and senior Brittany Jewett also return off of the state-qualifying 4x400 team. Jewett is a previous state qualifier in the javelin and looks to make a return in that event as well. Sophomore Sammie Walimaki qualified in the 200-meter dash and Jensen expects her to make a push at making state in the 100 as well.

Jensen said he is looking for-ward to seeing first-time junior

Sarai Camacho compete in the throwing events, and looks to add freshmen Phoebe Poynter, Narya Naillon, Callie Krupkat and Bonnie Roley to the relays.

The boys team will be led by Luke Kindred (fifth at state in the javeling) and Tanner Smith (eighth in the 100 and qualifier in the 200).

“Senior Diego Santana will handle the distance races and Junior Matt Smith will be in multiple jumping events and relays,” Jensen says. “Sophomores Dakota Haney ( throws), Charley Arrigoni (distance and relays) Logan Mills (sprints and relays) and Blaine Weaver (hurdles, jumps and relays) are all expe-rienced participants who could break through to the state meet.”

Riley Davidson and Oscar Cortez-Rosales will also contrib-ute in the jumping and throwing events.

Hometown fans will get their best chance to see the Hornets compete at their home Draggoo Financial Invitational on Saturday, May 3.

TONASKET - Tonasket’s boys soccer team proved it could play with the best at times last season.

Beating the best was another matter.

Going 3-11 in Caribou Trail League play meant there were a few ugly outings. But the Tigers also had an early 2-1 loss to Okanogan, which eventually fin-ished fourth in the state tour-nament, and finished the sea-son with three straight highly competitive games highly-rated teams, including a 2-1 loss to eventual state champion Chelan (which needed a win to clinch the league title) to close out the season.

Cracking into the top half of the league - where the top three teams combined for a 49-11 record (with half those losses coming to one another) and the fourth place team (Okanogan) took fourth in the state tourna-ment - may be a tall order. But the Tigers certainly are getting the numbers to make a go at it as the roster is bursting with 34 athletes.

A large number of those are returning, of course, but among those Coach Jack Goyette is counting on to lead the way include seniors Michael Orozco, Tyler Farver, Marcelino Ruiz-Martell, Elias Ramos and Derek Sund. Orozco and Farver play both forward and midfield; Ramos will be in the midfied; Ruiz-Martell has played every position at one point or another; and Sund, who joined the team at mid-season last year, earned the starting goalkeeper’s job with his

performance.After opening at Oroville, the

Tigers dive straight into state-

quality competition at Quincy on Saturday, March 22, and at home next week with back-to-

back games against Brewster and Manson.

After averaging one goal a game last season, the Tigers will focus on what it takes to build up

to quality scoring chances.“We are working on playing

quicker, higher-quality pos-session soccer,” Goyette says. “Soccer is about being part of a

team, sharing the good and bad, working hard and having fun. The time that we have playing together is a gift that should be completely enjoyed.”


OROVILLE - When Mike Pitts took over the Oroville boys soccer program three seasons ago, it was a rarity that he was able to field a full team. Many games were played 9-on-9 (or in a couple of cases, 9-on-11) because of a lack of healthy or eligible players.

Pitts no longer has that prob-lem as he had 18 players on his roster last year and starts 2014 with a 24-man squad.

“Last year we saw a significant increase in young talent which was exciting, but yet challenging thing for me,” Pitts says. “I knew going into last season we would have to be patient and focus on the good things game in and game out.”

The Hornets had enough num-bers to keep a full squad on the field, but a youthful and inex-perienced team managed just one win and struggled mightily against playoff teams Manson and Bridgeport. The Hornets gave up 61 goals in six games against those two teams, but 49 in nine games against everyone else. Their best game of the season was a 3-2 over-time loss to a Liberty Bell squad that finished just one game behind Bridgeport in the playoff race.

“We came a long way last year and looking at this season, I have high expectations for our team,” Pitts says. “Returning almost the entire roster from last sea-son coupled with the addition of experienced and new players, our team is poised to make some noise in league this year.”

The Hornets return 12 of last year’s 18, including seniors Connelly Quick and Abe Capote, who have been mainstays of the program through its growing pains.

“I’m excited to see Connelly

and Abe finish their senior years strong,” Pitts says. “Both have been outstanding and are set to do some great things on the defense and offense.”

Also returning are juniors

Leonardo Curiel, Cesar Lozano, and Brian Wise, sophomores Emmanuel Castrejon, Daniel Castrejon, Jesus Churape and Javier Castillo, and freshmen Aldo Perez, Robbie Dudley and

Moises Capote.With all of the Central

Washington B League programs becoming more established - particularly Manson, which advanced to the quarterfinals of

the 2B/1A state tournament - the road to improvement won’t be easy for the Hornets. But that hasn’t dampened Pitts’ optimism.

“With the way our league is currently comprised having to

play each other three times dur-ing the season, we get to know each other very well,” he says. “That scenario bodes well for our team. We got better and better the more acquainted we got with each team last year. I truly believe this year will be a break out one for us and several years down the road, we’ll look back and say that’s where it happened. “

Good Luck Tiger Athletes!

WE KEEP AMERICARUNNING.


TONASKET - The resigna-tion of former tennis coach Dave Buccheim shortly before the beginning of spring practice con-tributed to the Tonasket tennis teams getting off to an uneven start and may have kept the num-ber of turn-outs down.

But newly hired coach Mark Milner likes what he sees with the team he does have.

“We’re low in numbers but big in heart,” Milner says. “Our goal is to get better every day. So far I like the progress and with some hard work, I’m liking our chances of getting a kid or two to State this year.”

There is more experience on the boys’ side than with the girls.

“Trevor Terris, Brian Hendrick and Walker Marks all have singles experience,” Milner says. “The girls also have experience but will have their hands full with an extremely talented league. Cashmere, Okanogan, Omak and Chelan all have very strong girls teams.”

In fact, four of the eight state medalists at the 1B/2B/1A state tournament last year hailed from the Caribou Trail League, includ-ing Tonasket then-senior Megan Beyers, who finished fifth. The CTL also boasted the top two doubles teams and three other state-qualifying pairs.

The boys went 6-6 in league

play last year, good for fourth place in the league, while the girls were 2-10.

The girls team features return-ing seniors Abby Gschiel, Madi Villalva and Brisa Leep, along with junior Anna St. Martin and sophomore Baillie Hirst.

Senior Levi Schell and juniors Jesse Holan and Colton Leep return on to the boys side.

The Tigers jumped into league play right away, hosting Cascade

on Tuesday. Their next home match is Friday, March 28.


OROVILLE - Second-year Oroville tennis coach Billy Monroe senses that excitement about Hornet tennis is building.

It didn’t hurt to see some of his athletes out on the courts getting some pre-season work in during a warm stretch in February.

“I like to set my expectations high for my athletes and for my program,” Monroe says. “That being said I am really looking for-ward to this season. The excite-ment for tennis this year at the school has been surprising.”

There should be plenty of com-petition amongst the girls team for varsity spots as 11 girls turned out, including seniors Kaylee Foster, Aya Cruspero, Angela Nelson, Menze Pickering, Ashley Marcolin and Emily Viveros.

Junior Lily Hilderbrand and freshman Lillie Gronlund also played last year.

The boy team only has four, but three - junior Joseph Sarmiento, sophomore Connor BoCook and freshman Nathan Hugus - are returnees.

“With a full lineup I expect the girls to compete this year with the top teams in our league,” Monroe says. “I know schools such as Pateros and Liberty Bell will have good girls teams and it will be interesting to see how we do.

“The boys team, although small in number, is big in athleti-

cism. I feel that I have a couple of the best athletes in the school on my team. If all of my players make as much growth this year on their tennis game as last year, I feel that there is a good chance

that I could be taking someone to the state tournament this season.”

Monroe is hoping that last year’s growth coupled with this year’s early enthusiasm are signs that the Hornets’ program is

returning to prominence.“I would like to see it return to

the glory days of the late 1980s and early 1990s when state champi-ons like the Bargens and Kowatchs where coming out of Oroville ten-

nis,” he says. “Tennis should be fun. I want athletes coming to practice excited to work on their skills and happy to be there practicing. If you have fun doing something you will naturally become better at it.”

OROVILLE - Two wins may not look like much at first glance, but those victories represented a big step in the right direction for a painfully young Oroville base-ball squad last season.

The Hornets ended a two-year losing streak with a 19-5 vic-tory over Manson last March and became increasingly competitive as the season went on, includ-ing a season-ending 9-1 loss to a Liberty Bell squad that eventually advanced to the state semifinals.

The bulk of that squad returns intact this season, including seniors Boone McKinney and Jake Scott, as well as four freshmen that cut their teeth at the varsity level as eighth graders last year.

“I look fo rus to improve our record this year by playing solid, heads-up baseball,” says Oroville coach Tam Hutchinson.

Senior pitcher/third baseman McKinney was a second-team all-league selection last season, while Casey Martin earned honorable mention for his pitching and out-field play as an eighth grader.

“(Senior) Jake Scott is much improved at first,” Hutchinson says. “And he’s hitting the ball

well.”He said other keys would be

the improved pitching of junior Ricky Mathis and freshman Brentt Kallstrom.

Dustin Nigg, a junior, returns to play shortstop.

“His hitting has improved, and his speed on the basepaths will provide scoring opportunities,”

Hutchinson says. He added that brothers Trevor

and Will Shearer have shown improvement at catcher and in the outfield, respectively. Steven Maupin provides power and freshman Andrew Mieirs “has good baseball skill,” Hutchinson

says. One newcomer, Hunter Martin,

will see time in the outfield.The Hornets finished fourth in

the five team CWL 2B League last season, one spot out off of a play-off berth. Making up ground on teams like Bridgeport and Lake Roosevelt could have the Hornets contending for a district playoff spot by season’s end.


TONASKET - Tonasket’s long-suffering baseball program won’t find the road any easier against the always loaded Caribou Trail League this season.

But for the first time in awhile, third-year coach Tim Cork believes the Tigers are better equipped to deal with the type of competition they’ll be facing. This will be the first time in his

tenure that he’ll field a starting nine that all have baseball experi-ence.

The roster is just 12 strong, but 11 of them are returnees from last year’s squad.

Those include seniors Jake Cory, John Rawley, Kjeld Williams and Pete Valentine, as well as juniors Jimmy Coleman and Jesse Manring as well as five sophomores.

What bodes well for the Tigers

for the next couple of seasons (beginning 2015) is that they held a .500 record against teams that are now or will be in the 2B

League.But against the CTL they

haven’t won on the field for several years, though with the

exception of teams like two-time state champion Cashmere and Cascade (4th place last year) they have often been competitive.

“I want (the kids) to enjoy play-ing the game of baseball,” Cork says. “They are a good group of kids and I think their hard work

will pay off this season. I want them to compete in league games; I know they’ll really enjoy that.”

As with any baseball squad, the key likely will be how the pitch-ing staff rounds into shape. The Tigers do bring plenty of expe-rience to the mound, particu-larly with Rawley and Coleman. Sophomores Adrian McCarthy and Jeremiah Albright will pro-vide depth.

The Tigers open the season with five non-league games against area 2B schools before diving into league play April 8 at Okanogan.

“We want to work hard, have fun, and play better baseball,” Cork says. “And maybe (we’ll) surprise a few folks this season.”

TONASKET - Wins against Caribou Trail League competition have been hard to come by for Tonasket in most team sports, but none more so than softball.

That hasn’t dampened Coach Emily Rimestad’s enthusiasm for her team or the sport as she prepares a young and inexperienced squad for the upcoming season.

“With all the new girls we have this year - some who have never played to those who might have had just a little playing time - have come a long way since they started (practice),” Rimestad says. When I first started this year, I wanted the girls to feel like they are a part of the team. I see that they are feeling like a team. It’s great.

“I would love to win a couple league games this year. (Assistant coach Gene Jones) and I sat the girls down and asked them what there expectations were this year, and It was amazing to see that almost all of their expecations where them same as ours: win, be a team and play like one.”

Of the seven seniors, five - Selena Cosino, Carrisa Frazier, Jonalynn Glover, Tori King and Baylie Tyus - are return-ers. But only three others - sophomores Vanessa Pershing, Shyane Lewis and Rachel Silverthorn - played last year. Overall there are 10 sophomores and freshmen out of 17 on the roster.

The Tigers look to be strong defen-sively up the middle

Cosino returns to cover center field.

“She is such a huge key,” Rimestad says. “She has an amazing arm and can throw from outfield to home all day. When we have been strapped, I can put her anywhere.”

Tyus will be behind the plate for her

third season there.“She is very contemplative and loves

the challenge of the position,” Rimestad says. “She can catch for all the pitchers that we have had in the last three years ... she is probably our best baserunner.”

Frazier will again be the team’s pri-mary second baseman.

“She loves the spot,” Rimestad says. “She is good at getting down and getting double plays done when ever she can.”

Pershing played first base last year but likely will see plenty of time at shortstop this season.

“She has a drive to be an all around player,” Rimestad says. “You can tell she

loves the game is always trying to excel and push herself to get better.”

Other key returners include Tori King, who can play any outfield posi-tion; Shyane Lewis, who has embraced the challenge of playing third base; and Jonalynn Glover, who Rimestad says, “Really wants to start his year and is working hard.

“It’s hard to name key players though,” Rimestad adds. “It amazes me how fast that can change from game to game or season to season.”

Rimestad says she wants to instill in the players not just the things they need to do to be successful, but the “whys” that

go into that as well.“These next few months are the

highlight of my year,” she says. “Every year, I feel like I get a little bit better as a coach, and the level of the ladies improves and so does the turn out and the retention of the players. That is what it’s about: to be able to reach the players, build their confidence teach them a little about themselves, a little about you as a coach, give them the passion of the game. You let them know that even if they make a mistake, they pick themselves up, learn from it, and go forward with improvement and confidence.”


OROVILLE - An extremely young Oroville softball squad made big strides last season, qualifying for the district playoffs for the first time in three seasons before losing a wild, 21-19 elimi-nation game against Bridgeport to end their season.

The Hornets, who had gone winless the previous season, split with Tonasket in their season-opening doubleheader to end their losing streak and ended up posting five victories on the year despite fielding a lineup that fea-tured several eighth graders.

Despite their youth, the Hornets steadily improved as last

season went on. They lost their three regular season games to by a combined scored of 64-25, but nearly pulled off the upset in their playoff game.

The squad returns 10 from last year’s roster, including four fresh-men that already have a year of varsity experience under their belts.

Oroville coach Dane Forrester is loathe to talk about individ-ual players - “There is not ‘I’ in ‘Team,’” he says - but the experi-ence the Hornets field this year will belie their youth.

Senior shortstop Marissa Garcia - if she recovers fully from a basketball injury - brings a slick glove and solid bat to the lineup. Seniors Gabriela Capote, Cruz Ortega and Shelby Scott also return, as does junior third base-man Rachelle Nutt.

Faith Martin is the lone return-ing sophomore, though Mikayla Scott (a three-sport athlete) and Bailey Griffin both join the squad this year.

Four freshmen, including pitchers Courtnee Kallstrom and Kendal Miller, all played as eighth

graders, while three new eighth graders fill out the roster.

Forrester says the team is emphasizing the fundamentals

and is hoping to take the next step, to at least qualify for the double elimination rounds of the district tournament or make

their first state tournament trip since back-to-back appearances in 2009 and 2010.

“(I want the girls to) work as a

team,” Forrester says. “To develop skills relevant to their positions, set goals and succeed in making it to State.”

Tiger softball team has youthful look as it works to compete in the CTL


OROVILLE - It seems many of Oroville’s up-and-coming ath-letes are underclassmen. That is certainly true of its golf squad, which not only has no seniors on the team, but has two returning state qualifiers ... both of whom are freshmen this year.

Yes, Bryce Glover and Jordyn Smith, who competed at State in Olympia last year, did so as eighth graders.

“They’ve done it once,” says Coach DeHaven Hill. “They want to accomplish that goal again.”

Lane Tietje and Kyle Scott, a pair of juniors, bring back the most overall experience, while sophomore Blake Rise and Cayden Field, a Tonasket sopho-more who will compete on his own in the post-season but with Oroville during the regular sea-son, are the only other athletes that are not freshmen or eighth graders.

“Lane and Kyle have improved each year,” Hill says. “We hope that continues this year.

“As a team we would like to be District Champions and each individual golfer would like to qualify for the state tourna-ment.”

Six boys and six girls - three of each in ninth and eighth grades -

fill out the roster.Hill says part of developing

his athletes involves getting them plugged into a sport that can be a lifelong passion.

“Each golfer will have individ-ual goals regarding skills in their

game that they will need to work on to see their game improve,” he says. “The most important thing our golfers can take from our program is what a great sport golf is and they can play and enjoy it for a lifetime.”
