TONASKET - There wasn’t any hiding the fact that Tonasket’s football team struggled to con-tain its Caribou Trail League foes last year.

“We’ve talked a lot about that,” said coach Jay Hawkins, in his 12th year at the helm. “Defensively, people pretty much came in and took our lunch money. We’re pretty determined that’s not going to happen this year.

“Every season provides some-thing of an experience, and what these guys got from last year is that we needed to be a lot more physical. The last couple of games, we saw that mental switch go on, that that was how we had to play. I think we figured out how we needed to play to be competitive.”

The Tigers (2-8 overall, 0-5 in CTL play) lost a fair number of seniors to graduation, but a num-ber of those were first-year play-ers. It will still be a young team that takes the field this year, with just six seniors on the roster.

There is some experience, though, especially on the defen-sive side, where seven regu-lars return. Linebackers Austin Booker, Jake Cory and Dalton Wahl, defensive backs Michael Orozco and Jeff Stedtfeld and linemen Ky Williams and Chad Edwards saw plenty of action last year. Booker, Stedtfeld, Wahl and Williams are seniors.

Offensively Booker returns to the backfield, while Wahl (right guard) and junior center Chris Elliott provide the bulk of the team’s varsity experience.

Other seniors include wide receiver/defensive back Ian Young and lineman Quinn

Mirick. So with a team that includes

13 juniors, Hawkins and his staff decided that simplicity would give their squad the best shot at improvement.

“When we play a team like Cashmere, if we can’t execute our base stuff, nothing else is going to work,” Hawkins said. “Football in a lot of ways is the ultimate team sport - you need all 11 guys to execute. So by keeping it simple, we’ve been able to get a lot of reps in on the things that we need to do well, and we’ve made good progress because we haven’t

spread the guys too thin.”That process started during

two weeks of spring practice, culminating in an encouraging scrimmage against Omak and Okanogan.

“We had a couple of very solid weeks,” Hawkins said. “It was a real confidence-builder, and think that’s had some carryover value.”

Maturity has helped as well. The Tigers’ overall team size has improved.

“I think we’ll match up bet-ter physically this year,” Hawkins said. “We have decent size up

front and we’re stronger, though we don’t have the team speed we had.”

The CTL will likely be as tough as ever and has expanded back to eight teams as Brewster moves back up from 2B to the 1A ranks and Quincy drops down from 2A.

What won’t change is Cashmere being considered the pre-season favorite.

“I automatically put them there,” Hawkins said. “It’s always a safe bet because of their long-standing tradition. And that’s a coaching staff that will never be

out-prepared.”Chelan, coming off several

straight years of deep playoff runs, and Quincy, which played .500 ball in 2A, should also be title contenders.

“After that, it should be up in the air,” Hawkins said. “Every year there is kind of a surprise team. Usually that team doesn’t win the league, but might finish in the upper half.”

Okanogan is coming off a 7-3 season, while Omak typically fields a strong team (though the Pioneers have to overcome the loss of league MVP Dylan

Green).“If we keep progressing and

stay healthy, it would be fun to find a way to get into that top four.

“The goal is always to be the best team that we can be by the end of the season. A lot of the competition is against ourselves and how good we can get. But being that ‘surprise team’ would be a lot of fun.”

OROVILLE - Typically, return-ing just three seniors - none of them starters - would be the pre-cursor for a long season.

Oroville football coach Tam Hutchinson doesn’t see it that way. Nearly a dozen sophomores were major contributors to last sea-son’s Central Washington League North Division co-champion squad, and while the last year’s seniors will be tough to replace, he likes what he sees so far.

“We really are a junior and sophomore team,” Hutchinson said. “We have a lot of junior returners that played big roles last year.”

That’s especially true on the offensive side of the ball, where six key juniors are back. Luke Kindred, with a year of varsity seasoning under his belt, returns for his second run at quarter-back, along with center Boone McKinney. Tanner Smith, a wide receiver last year, will see time at running back this season, as will Sean DeWitte, converting from tight end to fullback. Jake Scott is making an even more unusu-al move, from wide receiver to guard. Connelly Quick, who saw some time at running back last season, will be a key to that posi-tion.

Also returning are senior receiver/defensive backs Angel Camacho and Cory Childers, as well as lineman Scotty Frazier.

Sophomore linemen Jacob Fleming and Lane Tietje also saw plenty of varsity snaps as fresh-men.

As a group, they’ll have to find a way to replace the production of four-year starting running back Nick Perez and multi-positional big-play specialist C.J. Mathews.

“We don’t have a C.J., and

we’re really going to miss Perez,” Hutchinson said. “Nick was our inside guy, and when we gave him the ball we always knew we’d get three or four yards.

Smith and (sophomore Dustin) Nigg will be key guys. Smith, believe it or not, is faster than C.J. - the guys said that was true last year during track as well - and Nigg is pretty shifty. We won’t be running as much between the tackles. Between those two, Quick and DeWitte, we’re a faster team than we were last year. We’ll go outside more and definitely be throwing the ball more.”

He said he’s also seen a big dif-ference in Kindred’s pre-season play.

“He’s really taken charge,”

Hutchinson said. “Last year I think he was a little intimidated by the seniors. Now we’re seeing him unleash the way he’s capable of and throwing the ball really well. My challenge is to keep this group of guys on the field at the same time.”

There are more questions on defense.

“Defense is what I worry about the most right now,” Hutchinson said. “That takes some quickness and aggressiveness, which I think we have.”

Hutchinson himself has a milestone within range: with 52

career wins at Oroville in 12 pre-vious seasons, he is two away from tying former coach Rick Guenther’s school record.

Thanks to reclassification, the CWL is reduced back down to one division and looks very much like the league did three years ago.

While the WIAA hasn’t released its playoff allocations yet, its likely the league will have three spots in the state tourney, albeit without the cross-divisional playoff week between Week 9 and the first round of the playoffs.

White Swan is widely consid-

ered a state title contender and will be a heavy favorite for the league title.

“They’re going to be tough,” Hutchinson said. “They have a lot of talent back, including the Sampson kid, who we last saw when he was a sophomore (in a playoff matchup the Hornets won

in 2010.)”After that, a lot should be up

for grabs. Manson, which took the North’s top seed last year after finishing in a three-way first place tie with Brewster and the Hornets, returns some key play-ers, but their overall numbers and talent level are a question mark. Liberty Bell notched a four-win improvement last year over the previous season and should be solid again.

Kittitas, coming off an unusu-ally dismal season, could be a surprise team. Lake Roosevelt and Bridgeport both have new head coaches that were former assistants with their respective programs.

“I think we’ll be competitive,” Hutchinson said. “People will know that we’re here. It’s a good group of kids that will play hard and is fun to be around. I’m posi-tive that it’ll be a good year.”

Oroville expects solid season despite returning just three seniors

Page 4: Sports Preview - Fall Sports 2012 Special

OROVILLE - New Oroville volleyball coach Stacey Hinze may have been officially hired on the first day of practice, but she’s not taking a short view of the task in front of her.

With a young team (just two seniors) coming off a winless sea-son, she is trying to put the things in place that will help the team succeed over the long haul.

“Basically, we’re just kind of starting from the ground up since we have such a young group,” Hinze said. “It’s kind of nice pre-paring ourselves not just for this year, but for next year, too.”

Jasmine Nutt is the only return-ing senior, while juniors Brittany Jewett and Bridget Clark, as well as sophomores Rachelle Nutt, Andrea Perez, Nadia Maldonado and Monica Herrera also are back.

“They’ve played together a lot,” Hinze said. “They’re a good group, they get along great, they talk to each other and they play well as a team.”

Those qualities have come into play in pre-season practice as the team has had to adjust to Hinze’s new offense.

“At first they were a little skep-tical,” Hinze said. “It’s more chal-

lenging, but it’s a better offense.“Getting our passing down and

getting a consistent pass-set-hit, rather than free-balling over the net just because you want to get

rid of it, is the biggest thing we’re working on. We want to be actu-ally spiking the ball, getting more aggressive at the net and taking control of getting those side outs and points.”

Coming off a tough season, and without a coach until the last minute, numbers were initially low but have picked up in recent days. Only seven girls were eligi-ble for the Hornets’ season open-er against Tonasket on Tuesday, but with 16 girls on the roster by press time there were hopes that

there would be enough to sustain a JV squad before long.

“They all need the playing time, so if we could get a couple more girls, that would be a big help,” Hinze said. “Individually, I’d like them to improve their skills as we go along. But honestly, we really would like to win. I’d like to see these girls get a chance to go to state, but we have to start win-ning first.”

It’s Hinze’s first coaching job, though she saw plenty of time on the court as a high school player

with some college experience.“I heard the girls wouldn’t to

have a team if they couldn’t find a coach,” she said. “So I decided to do it. It’s fun, and it’s somewhere I feel like I can help out.”

TONASKET - First-year varsity volleyball coach Jackie Gliddon is no stranger to Tonasket vol-leyball.

With 14 years of coaching - mostly at the 8th grade level, with some JV and C-team seasons thrown in - Gliddon has coached many of the players she inherited when Nellie Kirk retired after last season.

“I always had a lot of respect for Nellie,” Gliddon said. “But now (after taking over as varsity coach), I really, really have a lot of respect for Nellie. She was crazy organized, and I probably will never be as organized as she is.”

Dave Kirk - Nellie’s husband - also is staying on Gliddon’s assis-tant, adding some continuity.

The Tigers will need that as there are just four players return-ing from last year. Those return-ers, though, do give the Tigers a solid and experienced front line in seniors Devan Utt, Ahlia Young, Sadie Long, and junior Savannah Clinedinst.

“We have some senior leader-ship,” Kirk said, “but it’s pretty young after that.”

“A lot of our leadership will be on Devan and Sadie,” Gliddon said. “Devan, obviously, as a three-year starter. Devan’s a ‘camper,’ too. She’s spent a lot of time at volleyball camps, working to improve her skills.”

In addition to the return-ing front row hitters, Gliddon has been impressed with the play of senior setter Ameerah Cholmondeley, who last played

volleyball as a freshmen, and junior libero Cassie Spear.

“Ameerah has really been pick-ing it up,” she said. “And Cassie, she’ll be a real asset. She is a very good all-around player, and is the quickest on the floor. She’s a good hitter, too, though as a libero she won’t be getting to do much of that.”

Kirk said that one of the team’s biggest assets has been its atti-

tude.“This group of girls in par-

ticular have always had a joy for playing,” he said. “They love to play volleyball.”

Gliddon said a lot of the pre-season work has focused on pass-ing and team-building.

“The team isn’t weak,” she said. “But we want to build into them that they’re going to be there for each other.

“These girls all want to be all-around players. They’re working hard at playing all around, and are disappointed when they have to come off the floor.”

Gliddon said a big goal is to chalk up a few Caribou Trail League wins, which have been few and far between in recent years.

“They want to win,” she said. “They want to surprise every-

body and win in the league.“They’re hustling, they have

the drive and the will is there. I’m hoping it comes together for them.”

TONASKET - Bob Thornton doesn’t have a lot of returning experience on his Tonasket cross country teams, but couldn’t be happier with the overall numbers on his squad.

“With 18 high school runners and 14 middle school runners, I’m excited about the number we have turning out and the poten-tial for Tonasket cross country,” Thornton said. “It looks like I will be buying a lot of ice cream this year.”

The Tigers have four boys returning, but the girls’ experi-ence consists of one moving up from last year’s middle school ranks.

Oscar Avilez is the lone return-ing senior.

“Oscar has put in the work and is running a lot faster and stronger this year,” Thornton said of Avilez.

“He is a very competitive indi-vidual and I look for him to have a good year.”

Also returning are sophomores Adam Halvorsen, Smith Condon and Johnathan Tellez.

“Adam put the time and miles in this summer,” Thornton said. “It is showing in how much stron-ger he is.

“Both Smith and Johnathan are running stronger this year as well and should have good years.”

For the girls, Thornton said freshman Jenna Valentine is

showing plenty of promise.“She is pushing herself in prac-

tice every day and is looking to have a good year,” he said.”The rest of the team consists of first-year runners.

“Everyone is working hard and learning how to race,” Thornton said.

“As the year progresses we should improve and be competi-tive with the rest of the league.”

OROVILLE - It’s not very often that the chance to win three straight of anything rolls around.

So with the Oroville girls cross country team entering the 2012 season with two regional titles in hand, coach Doug Kee is hoping to get enough girls to come out to seriously compete for a third in a row.

“We’d like to have a three-peat,” Kee said. “But we need to have the bodies to do it. Some of the seniors didn’t turn out, and it was kind of a shock to miss them. Hopefully they’ll decide their bored and decide they want to be part of that.”

With five girls, the Hornets do have enough to score as a team, though there is no margin for error. The boys have three on their roster.

Whether or not the girls team can qualify for state, it’s pretty much guaranteed that, barring

injury, junior Sierra Speiker will make her third straight trip as an individual. Speiker burst onto

the high school scene with a state 1B/2B title in 2010, upsetting then-defending champion Morgan Willson of Colfax. Willson, a senior in 2011, returned the favor last fall as Speiker was runner up.

That makes her pre-season favorite this time around.

“No one is going to stay with Sierra at regionals,” Kee said. “We just need some kids to fill those last spots.”

Senior Callie Barker, who was on the 2010 regional title team but didn’t run last year, returns

for her senior season and should be a strong No. 2.

“She’s a good, hard worker,” Kee said. “She should place well at regionals and if we don’t have a full team, hopefully she’ll be able to make state, too.”

A second senior, Lisa Hartvig, gives the Hornets another expe-rienced varsity runner. Senior Celene Cisneros and sophomore Aya Cruspero fill out the girls roster.

“We’re definitely still recruit-ing, though,” Kee said. “There’s

a lot of kids sitting around doing nothing that could be pretty good runners.”

The trio of boys will be led by junior Ruben Renfro, who missed making state last year by one spot.

“I’m really looking forward to good things from him,” Kee said.

Senior Ronel Kee and junior Diego Santana also return from last year’s squad.

Everything, off course, will ride on the regional meet, which this year will be in Wenatchee’s Walla

Walla Point State Park. Though most sports have seen a reshuf-fling of teams thanks to reclassifi-cation, the 1B/2B teams that run cross country should be relatively unchanged from the past couple of years.

TONASKET - Late last season, the Tonasket girls soccer team found its mojo.

Tigers coach Darren Collins wasn’t sure exactly when it started, but the proof was in the results on the field. There was a come-from-

behind shootout victory at Omak in mid-October followed by a dominating victory over Chelan. And the final two losses of the season showed even more signs of promise.

The Tigers’ 2-0 defeat at the hands of eventual state runner-up Cashmere was a measure of their improvement from a 13-0

shellacking a month earlier, and Tonasket’s 2-0 district playoff loss to Cascade was far more competi-tive than earlier efforts against the Kodiaks.

All that to say, Collins is excited about the upcoming campaign.

“We’re looking really solid,” he said. “We should be matching up this year with the better teams. We’re certainly hoping to.

“With the way we finished last year, especially against Cashmere and Cascade, we showed we could play with those teams. We played Cascade in a summer tournament and lost 4-2 in another match that was very even.

“So it was an encouraging way to start.”

The Tigers have 11 play-

ers returning, including senior Kelly Cruz, who was the runner-up in the Caribou Trail League MVP race. Second-team all-CTL midfielder Alicia Edwards also returns, while juniors Kathryn Cleman, Baylie Tyus and Kylie Dellinger give the Tigers multiple threats offensively.

Also returning are senior Sarina McBride and juniors Elizabeth Jackson, Selina Cosino, Christa McCormick and Michaela Rampley and sophomore Hilda Celestino.

Of the new additions, senior Megan Beyers had Collins wish-ing he’d had her on the team for her entire high school career.

As solid as the Tigers look offen-sively, graduation hit them hard-

est at the defensive end, where defender Michelle Timmerman and goalkeeper Cayla Monroe’s graduation left big holes to fill.

And with all the talent return-ing, the already-tough CTL got tougher as reclassification added Brewster and Quincy to the mix.

On top of the usual league pow-ers, Okanogan has been a playoff regular the past several years and Omak showed last year that it was another team potentially on the rise.

“Quincy is kind of a shot in

the dark,” Collins said of the for-mer 2A school. “And Brewster has always been tough in the past. Our league has got to be the toughest 1A league there is. Cashmere was second in state and they were young.

“So our goal is to get to dis-tricts. We’ve got to make it there again and see what we can do. And to do that, we’ll have to start out playing tough and be winning games from the start.”

OROVILLE - The Central Washington 1B/2B soccer league has a new look this season, and it’s one that the Oroville Hornets should like.

Gone are league powers Brewster and Warden, two state qualifiers that moved up to 1A this year and out of the B league. Entiat, which played just four games last year while getting its program up and running, will play a full league schedule with Bridgeport, Liberty Bell and Manson joining the Hornets.

Each team will play two league games against the others, though in most cases the Hornets will play one (two against

Bridgeport) non-league game against each as well.

“We’ll be a lot more evenly matched this year,” said Oroville coach Laura Kinman. “I think it will be a very com-petitive, exciting league. Most days it will be anybody’s game.”

It’s taken a little time to get enough players out to field a full team -- the Hornets had to reschedule their first two games in order to field enough eligible players -- but by press time had at least 14 players practicing.

That could include at least one eighth grader, pending league approval, after the Oroville School Board agreed to a one-year pilot for eighth graders to play at the high school level if there was no

junior high program in that sport.“All we have for soccer in junior high

is the rec league,” Kinman said, acknowl-edging that it results in having to teach basic soccer fundamentals at the varsity level that players on other teams may already have mastered.

“So how do you bridge that? If we don’t have a way for the junior high kids to play soccer, we’ll lose them to soccer. They’ll start doing other things, or nothing.”

Kinman brings back eight players from last season’s 1-13 squad, including four seniors: goalkeepers Tosca Pickering and Alexa Werner, captain Becky Arrigoni and Kelsey Stell. Breanna Ervin is a fifth senior who didn’t play soccer last season.

“The girls are showing good pass-ing ability and knowledge of the field,” Kinman said. “They know each other well and play with a lot of cohesiveness. What we’re working on is our speed -- we need quicker ball movement. And both of our goalkeepers are seniors, so we need to start working someone in there as well.”

The new, young players have Kinman looking forward to the Hornets’ first game as well.

“It’s hard to tell how good we’ll be without seeing us play (a game),” she said. “Usually I can say what we have, but the new girls we have, it’s hard to say. They have me excited, though. I think we’ll surprise some people.”
