Fall 2011 cedarcrest Sports Preview Volleyball is full team effort It’s a tough league, but the Red Wolves’ returning volleyball veterans are stressing solid growth, every day. The 2011 Cedarcrest High School varsity squad is led by three returning seniors: middle blockers Katie Birum and Jordan Short, and setter Lauren LaBrosse. Birum is a natural blocker with “a high volleyball IQ,” head coach Brandon Jones said. Short is a solid player who puts in a ton of extra time outside of practice to develop her skills. LaBrosse is the emotional leader of the team. “Her skill and leadership are crucial to our success,” Jones said.
A key newcomer is Kendall Koch, who transferred from Eastmont High School in Wenatchee. Also in the mix are returning juniors Cassie Chriest, Maggie Gronberg and Kailyn Campbell. The Lady Red Wolves were 4 and 10 last year. Once again, the Cascade LAUREN LaBROSSE league looks to be very tough, with Kings and Archbishop Murphy at the top. Cedarcrest hopes to be right up there with them. Hard work will pay off, Jones says. “Our practice theme for this season is ‘Get one day better,’” he said. “This is a realistic and reachable goal, and each girl is asked at the end of practice if they got one day better. “Our athletes push each other every day at practice,” he added. “This is a full team effort.”

Cody Wanichek, Logan Orndorf, Dominic Dams and Mitch Montgomery are the expected top four boys’ Red Wolves runners this fall.

Faster, leaner Red Wolves hungry for wins Integrity, respect part of reloaded fall program
Returners seek repeat of conference dominance
Bruce McDowell, helming the Cedarcrest trekkers for the 18th year, seeks a continuation of greatness: Championships in conference and districts, and a state return. Last fall was good for the Red Wolves Cross Country squads. The girls claimed a Cascade Conference Championship for the third consecutive season, taking ninth at state. The boys also had a quality season. It was the first time that the Red Wolves qualified for state, taking sixth and ending as the Cascade Conference Champions. Cedarcrest should compete with Lakewood for top honors in the league this season. Expected to lead the girls this fall, sophomores Diana Carr and Amelia Anderson had solid freshman years in cross country and track, followed by a solid summer of training. McDowell is looking for good things from both. Junior Molly Hammontree returns as a captain. Among upperclasswomen, some seniors may break into the top nine, but only time will tell, says McDowell. The Cascade girls league is balanced on top, with Cedarcrest competing with South Whidbey, King’s and Lakewood for the championship. Among boys, no newcomers are likely to challenge the varsity group of returners. Looking likely to claim the top four spots are seniors Mitch Montgomery and Logan Orndorf, and juniors Cody Wanichek and Dominic Dams. Montgomery and senior Dante Bournique are captains. Both have been dependable members of the squad for the past three years. They’re two of the hardest workers on the team, McDowell said. McDowell wants to see everyone improve their times while still having fun.

Seniors Josh Davidson, Robbie McNair and Nick Gagner help hold down the line on the Cedarcrest varsity football program this fall. ters,” Frederick said, to end it 34-13. At a two-day retreat at the beginning of practice, Frederick brought in Eastlake defensive coordinator Maui Borden, who helped the team develop core covenants. “We’re committed to brotherhood, integrity, respect,” Frederick said. Last year, the Red Wolves finished 5-5, and the coach expects to build from
there. Teams to beat in the league include Archbishop Murphy and Lakewood. “We’re in that mix, but it’s going to be one game at a time, take them as they come,” Frederick said. On Friday, Sept. 16, they face Archbishop Murphy in their first home game, inaugurating an improved Red Wolf stadium.

Cedarcrest High School’s varsity football program is expected to be a faster, more aggressive team this fall, its players emphasizing integrity and respect. For his eighth season, head coach Jason Frederick will rely on a group of 13 athletic seniors. Players to watch include fullback/ defensive back Martin Beckam, starting tackle/defensive end Josh Davidson, allaround player and halfback Justin Houser, lineman Tanner Marty, tight end Nick Gagner and running back Chris Dowd. “Defensively, we’re smaller, but more athletic and quicker,” Frederick said, “so we’re going to be a lot more aggressive.” He expects to run a lot of tricky Wing-T plays. Defensively, a handful of heavies will anchor mostly leaner, quicker plays. Hunter Lee was the starting quarterback, and turned in a good job against 3A Renton in the Sept. 2 season opener. The Red Wolves were tied 7-7 at the half, “but in the second, we outconditioned the other team. Our kids battled all four quar-

The meaning of brotherhood Nick Gagner is among the seniors boosting the team spirit on the Red Wolf gridiron this fall. The tight end seeks more touchdowns in 2011, and is also emphasizing brotherhood on the Cedarcrest team. “To me, brotherhood is the team coming together,” he said. “We’re able to share personal experiences, able to hang out as a team with freshmen and underclassmen. The seniors are able to step up, take them under their wing, so when they come up, it’s the same for them.”

Beat feet to state Five times will be the charm for junior Molly Hammontree, a cross-country runner hoping to represent her team at state again this year. “This will be the fifth time for the team,” she said, and although she’s gone twice herself, she plans on making this trip a first. “For the past two years, I’ve been selected as an alternate, but this year, I really want to go as a participant.” Hammontree is ready for the hard work she knows that will take, and she encourages newcomers to the sport. Yes, it’s tough at first, “but once you’re into shape, it’s really enjoyable.”

Big goals in mind Cedarcrest soccer team co-captains McKenna Swanson and Laura Hisler are planning on a winning season that takes them all the way to the state championship this year. “We have a new coach, and a lot of talented players on the team this year, and we play really well together,” said Hisler. “Plus, the way we look is just really good, we all pass the ball and work together.”

Kailey Capelouto is expected to be Mount Si’s primary setter. Big things are also expected of Lauren Smith, a junior who worked hard in the offseason. Newcomers include sopho-
more Lindsay Carr, a former Snoqualmie resident who left for Virginia for a while, and Anna McCreadie, a freshman. You can follow the team at mountsivolleyball.com.

Now in his fourth year helming Mount Si boys tennis, head coach Jim Gibowski has six returners from 2010. Sophomore Camden Foucht is expected to hold the number one singles spot, followed by junior Josh Hamann at two. Senior Azhar Khandekar should hold the number three singles spot, with Nate Popp claiming fourth. On doubles, Matthew Griffin, a freshman, and Jake Miller, a senior, should lead, followed by seniors Alex Pease and Jake Rouches. On doubles, Rouches and Pease “play so well together,” Gibowski said. “They communicate well, they’re kamikaze guys, they’re fearless.” The top doubles players could fight for the singles and challenge spots. “That’s nice,” the coach said. “That means I’ve got some depth on this team, more this year than last year.”
The name says “Cross Country,” but these young athletes were doing more than just running on the fourth day of practice. Dozens were bouncing, doing push-ups and high-stepping during the Mount Si team’s drills at the home stadium. More were likely to join them in the days ahead, as the sport typically absorbs athletes cut from other programs but still needing to compete. That’s what makes high school cross-country “awesome,” says head coach Christine Kjenner. “We take kids of all abilities,” said Kjenner. “They all compete. They can all be successful. Nobody sits on a bench.” While cross country is an individual sport, it’s also got a real team aspect. Team members cheer each other on, help each other improve, and their camaraderie often propels them through the postseason. While every runner takes part, the top seven competitors are considered varsity, and the top five score. Mount Si hosts a jamboree this month, and the results will give a good idea of the team’s top placers and chances. Mount Si’s chances this year depend on a new crop of leaders heading up a fairly young team. On the boys side, look for Richard Carmichael, Dom Canady, Tim Corrie and Ryan Olson to lead a young but experienced contingent. Many have trained or competed this summer, and bring a lot of energy. Carmichael, a senior, made it to districts and got to 17:30 on the course last season. He wants to go to state, “and break 17 minutes for sure.” The girls team made it to districts as well last fall. Sophomore Bailey Scott, whose busted toe precluded a state appearance, is among veterans Christina Volken, Ashley Jackson, Sarah Miller, Madeleine Bezanson, and fellow sophomores Abby Bottemiller and Erin Rylands, who brings a core of experience. Bottemiller said the leaders need “to push it, be encouraging.”

It’s going to take a lot of hard work to earn that fourth state appearance. That’s why Sarah McDonald comes to the gym every day, ready to compete. McDonald, one of three seniors on the Mount Si varsity volleyball team with Brooke Bonner and Krista Galloway, knows she has a younger team compared to the groups that took sixth at state in 2009 and 2010. “But everyone’s going to step up,” she said. Turnout this fall, nearly 60 prospects, was the biggest in recent memory for the Wildcats. “Kids are starting to dig playing volleyball,” said head coach Bonnie Foote, who is in her 12th year in the program. She doubles as Mount Si’s physical education teacher.

A full team effort Building a strong team and having fun in the process are the goals for Chloe Villanueva, co-captain with Meg Krivanec, Dana Pecora and Megan Ferkovich in Mount Si cheer. “Once you build a strong team that acts as a family, they’ll be more successful in everything they do,” Villanueva said. “I want this to be the best year—everyone does during their senior year—have fun and be close,” the four-year cheeleader said. Many may not know how much effort goes into cheer. “We’re involved in the community, involved in school,” she said. “On top of being regular athletes, working out and practicing, we cheer on every sport. We’re very busy. People may not know how much work we put in to make things appear so effortless.”

Mount Si’s team is deep, though, with all players in the top ten able to post a top-five score that will count. That bodes well for the Wildcats in the current league format; Proudfoot is looking for a top-three finish this year. Assistants John McDermott and Eric

Last season was a learning experience for new coach Brandon Proudfoot. He’s better prepared this year to lead the Mount Si boys golf team to a winning season,
and he has the players to do it. Mount Si went 6-1 last year and sent Jack Kelly to state. This fall, top returners, Sean Ballsmith and Mitchell Gardunia, both seniors, are counted on to lead with low scores. “Both Sean and Mitchell hit the ball a long ways off the tee and can lead the team by making birdies and posting some low scores,” Proudfoot said. The top newcomers are Jake Archambeau and Reed Pattenaude. “Jake is a welcome surprise as he comes from playing football last year and is 521637
