OROVILLE - Oroville’s football team got just about everything it could have out of last season. With a painfully inexperienced team, the Hornets improved dramatically as the season went on, growing a dynamic offense and progressing to the point where they went toe-to-toe with state power Waitsburg-Prescott in a state playoff opener before their inexperience on defense caught up with them. After averaging 13.3 points through their first four games, the Hornets scored more than 45 points a game over their final seven contests while overcoming a 1-3 start. Shoring up the defense has been coach Tam Hutchinson’s emphasis this pre-season. “The defense is a lot more mature,” Hutchinson says. “They’re all juniors and seniors with the exception of (sophomore Logan) Mills at nose tackle, and he’s a load. He’s the real deal.” In fact, through the early season, the Hornets have sacrificed some of their offense to get their defense in order, because, as Hutchinson reminds his team frequently, “It’s defense that wins

Flipping those tires. Last year we were not ready at all for (the first game of the year). We spent our whole time getting into shape.” Conditioning, he says, is one of the big keys to this year’s team, which showed up for first practice in much better shape than a year ago. “You’ve got to be in shape to play this game,” Hutchinson says. “Especially at a small school, guys like Tanner Smith and Luke Kindred, they don’t come off the field. They’ve got to be in good shape.” Speaking of Smith and

Kindred, the pair turned into quite the dynamic duo on offense as Smith’s speed and Kindred’s growth at quarterback turned into prolific playmaking. In the playoff against W-P, Kindred rushed for 97 yards and threw to Smith for another 194 yards. For the season Kindred threw for 719 yards 10 touchdowns and rushed for 758 yards and 12 scores, with Smith racking up 538 receiving yards and 270 on the ground. Dustin Nigg, now a junior, rushed for 549 yards on 88 carries and nine touchdowns and was the Hornets’ leading rusher in several games. Offensively, Hutchinson hopes
to employ Kindred more and more out of the Pistol offense, to give him a chance to do some Russell Wilson-like read-option play, as well as take advantage of Smith’s speed both out of the backfield and as a receiver. With Mills developing as a fullback, as well as several other capable running backs, Hutchinson expects versatility to become a bigger and bigger part of the offense as the season progresses. “With the Pistol, it gives us a lot of things we can do with the ball in Kindred’s hands,” Hutchinson says. “And there’s a lot of times the defense won’t be able to tell if

Kindred, Smith, DeWitte, Connelly Quick, Boone McKinney, Jake Scott, Lukas Mieirs and Abraham Capote, along with 10 juniors, give the Hornets a much more experi-

enced squad than a year ago. The Hornets will have their work cut out for them to get back to the playoffs: this year the Central Washington 2B League only has two state playoff spots. Last year Oroville claimed the No. 3 spot, so it will have to leapfrog either Kittitas or White Swan just to get in, as well as be wary of a Liberty Bell squad that is thin on numbers but boasts some talented athletes. The Hornets’ league opener, at defending league champion Kittitas on Sept. 21, could set the tone for the rest of the season.

loss in the season-finale crossover at Riverside, which would have been a satisfying way to end the season after a gauntlet run through the top-heavy CTL. The league looks no easier this season as the south end teams Cashmere, Cascade and Quincy - all look to be state powers again, with up-and-coming Okanogan trying to take another step after breaking into the playoff last year. The Tigers return 16 starters, including nine on offense, that will keep their hopes of competing for that fourth playoff spot alive. They didn’t lose many seniors from last year, but the ones that did move on - especially bulldozer fullback Austin Booker and his 807 rushing yards - will not be easy to replace. Tonasket coach Jay Hawkins hopes that the Tigers’ second season in their current offensive and defensive sets will help make up for those losses even as younger players step into those positions. “That gives us some great experience on both sides of the ball,” Hawkins says. “This will be the second year in our offensive and defensive systems. Those two things together put us farther ahead in the early part of the season than we were last year.” Despite the loss of Booker, most of the “skill position” players on offense return. Senior running back Michael Orozco nearly matched Booker’s rushing totals with 75 yards to go with 12 touchdowns and was also dangerous as a receiver, catching 11 passes for 189 yards and a pair of scores. Trevor Terris returns at quarterback, where he threw for 337 yards while splitting time with departed senior Jeff Stedtfeld. Top receiver Roberto Juarez (13 catches, 210 yards, two touchdowns) also returns, as do tight ends Derek Sund and Jacob Cory. Most of those same players also start on defense. Other returning seniors include running back/linebacker Collin Aitcheson, tight end/ linebacker Kenny Freese, receiver / defensive backs Kjeld Williams and Makalapua Goodness, and offensive/defensive linemen Camron Baller, Chris Elliott and John Rawley. “We have an excellent group of kids with strong leadership,” Hawkins says. “They have shown the ability to be an excellent practice team with good tempo. “Our biggest need is to develop some depth at all positions,”

Defending champ Speiker leads Hornet XC
Low numbers could scuttle shot at fourth straight league title for girls
SENIORS
BY BRENT BAKER BBAKER@GAZETTE-TRIBUNE.COM
OROVILLE - Sierra Speiker doesn’t have a lot more to accomplish as a high school runner, at least not at the 1B/2B level. She’s already won two state titles and, barring injury, will be the heavy favorite to win a third. Many of her races will be more like practices, with most competitors unable to stay with her. Coach Doug Kee, though, doesn’t see any lack of motivation in Speiker,. Not content to be considered the premier small-school runner, she’s been training to be considered at an elite level regardless of school size. Speiker, he says, trained all summer, reaching the 50-70 miles per week mark, often running with former Hornet and current Eastern Washington University runner Catie Arrigoni, as well as her brother and father. “With her, it’s all about her times,” Kee says. “Most of the courses (on the Hornets’ schedule) we’ve run before. So we printed off all of her times from freshman year on to use in making new goals for each race based on what she’s done before.” What she’s done before has been impressive enough. She’ll have a chance to put her enhanced training to the test in several multi-class meets, most notably in Spokane on Sept. 21 and in Richland on Oct. 12. Last year she took eighth in a field of more than 120 girls from 3A and 4A schools. “Richland will be an interesting

Not because of who he has on the team, but because of who he doesn’t have. The Hornet girls’ chances at a fourth straight Central Washington League title (and a chance to improve on last year’s seventh place state finals finish) could be over before they start if he can’t find a couple more girls to come out for the team. Right now there are just three; a minimum of five is needed to be
scored as a team. “It’s very frustrating to not have a girls team,” he said. “With Sierra up there, if we just had a couple of girls who were decent athletes and we had a full team, we could do extremely well.” The boys do have a a full squad of “eight or nine,” Kee says. Junior Diego Santana, who finished 11th at last year’s league finals meet, is the lone returner, along with Speiker. Oroville’s home meet on Oct. 19 is the best chance for local fans to see the Hornets run.

TONASKET - The Tonasket cross country teams bear little resemblance to last year’s squads, but an infusion of young talent has coach Bob Thornton hopeful that will actually mean improvement for his Tigers. The girls team will have just four runners with sophomore Jenna Valentine ranking as the only returnee. The team’s lone senior, Amber Monroe, flipped to cross country from volleyball and is in solid shape after a summer of firefighting. Junior Lea Berger turns out for the first time, while freshman Johnna Terris moves up after competing at the middle school level. The boys return four from last year, led by sophomore Adrian McCarthy, who made significant improvements during his freshman year and started off this season by cutting more than two minutes off last year’s time at the Tonasket Invitational. Also returning are juniors Smith Condon and Abe Podkranic and sophomore Dallin Good. First time senior Tim Jackson leads a group of newcomers that includes three sophomores and promising freshman Hunter Swanson. The girls, falling short of the minimum five to qualify for team scoring, won’t be able to compete for team honors without some new recruits. The boys will be looking to improve on last season’s sixth-place Caribou Trail League finish.

OROVILLE - Oroville’s girls soccer team went into the last game of 2012 with a chance at a district playoff berth. The Hornets lost to Bridgeport and were eliminated, but the fact that they had that chance - against a team they had beaten earlier in the year - was a sign of progress for the soccer program. This year’s team will have six players back that are charged with leading their teammates to the next step. “We have great team cohesiveness,”
says coach Laura Kinman. “And we have veteran leaders who will help groom the younger players.” And it is a young team, including four eighth graders and three freshmen on the squad of 14. Returning to the field this year are seniors Meagan Moralez and Kaitlyn Grunst, junior Kali Peters, sophomores Keyla Layata and Faith Martin, and freshman Yessi Nemecio, who last year earned the distinction of being the first Oroville eighth grader to play a varsity sport. Among the newcomers are senior midfielder/defender Marissa Garcia and

Tonasket volleyball strives to compete in CTL
BY BRENT BAKER BBAKER@GAZETTE-TRIBUNE.COM
TONASKET - Tonasket’s volleyball teams have historically struggled to compete in the Caribou Trail League, which annually boasts at least one state title contender in its ranks. Tigers coach Jackie Gliddon believes her team has the talent to be competitive in the league, but must first take the right approach to the game. “I know we can do it,” Gliddon says. “If the girls believe they can do it, they will be. If they don’t believe it, then they won’t.” The good news is that Gliddon has more than the usual number of seniors. However, it’s a less experienced group than what that would seem to indicate; overall there are just five girls who played at the varsity level last year. Seniors Cassie Spear, Jenny Bello and Carissa Frazier played the whole season, while senior Savannah Clinedinst is starting her third year on varsity but missed the second half of last season after temporarily moving out of state. Junior Rachael Sawyer moved up to the varsity for the second half of last year. “A couple of the other seniors haven’t played for a couple years,” Gliddon say. “They’re catching on, but they don’t have the level of experience that the others do.” Gliddon also was able to take seven of the squad to a team camp over the summer, which she expects to pay dividends. “It will definitely pay off,” she says. “We got some good work in.” Gliddon is also very pleased with the volleyball program’s turnout, which surged enough this year so as to require a “C” team to accommodate all the girls who turned out. “I’ve only just been able to start working with the varsity girls,” she says. “We’ve been working with all of them, but now we have a C squad coach so we can focus

Returning seniors include Kathryn Cleman, Selena Cosino, Kylie Dellinger, Jonalynn Glover, Sarah Green, Elizabeth Jackson, Christa McCormick and Baylie Tyus. Also returning are junior Hilda Celestino and sophomores Myra Gaytan and Jaden Vugteveen. Off-field injuries to Amanda Johnson and Jensen Sackman cost the Tigers two other surefire contributors, while four-year starters Kelly Cruz and Alicia Edwards were among six seniors lost to graduation. Collins was pleased with his team’s showing at a jamboree with Okanogan and Liberty Bell in which Tonasket won both minimatches, one in a shootout. “Our defense looks really good,” Collins says. “Our passing looks like we need a little work, along with our ball control.

really happy with (goalkeeper) Tyus during the shootout; she made four saves. Anytime you can get four saves of penalty kicks you’re doing something right.” Tyus and McCormick will split time in goal fairly evenly, Collins said, in part because he likes what Tyus brings to the open field as well. Dellinger will move to the critical center midfield position previously occupied by Cruz, with freshman twins Ashlynn and Kayla Willis looking like they’ll be in the mix as well. The downside of such an expe-

rienced squad is that the Tigers are quite “top-heavy” in terms of class make-up. With just eight non-seniors on the squad an no JV this year, Collins has some work to do to get ready for next season as well. “It’s nice having all these seniors at practice because they have all the drills down,” he says. “But as far as getting girls for next year, I might have to hang out at the middle school all year long just to do some recruiting.”

Hornet volleyball looks to build on last year
Nearly 30 girls turnout for volleyball as Rise takes reins of Oroville program
SENIORS
BY BRENT BAKER BBAKER@GAZETTE-TRIBUNE.COM
OROVILLE - Carrie Rise is the third Oroville volleyball coach in three years. But what she found when she took on the job was an unexpected wealth of young players - so much so that the school was scrambling to find not just an assistant/JV coach, but a C squad coach that was needed with a turnout of nearly 30 girls. The Hornets made progress last year, winning their first match in four seasons and coming close on several other occasions. “The bulk of the team have played together for several years now,” says Rise. “(They) have decided that this is their year to shine.” Six of the eight varsity regulars return from last year. They’ll be led by seniors Brittany Jewett, Bridget Clark and Nadia Maldonado. Also returning to varsity are juniors Andrea Perez, Rachelle Nutt and Jessica Galvan. Joining them are Republic transfer Izzy Hildebrand and sophomore Mikayla Scott. The Hornets are optimistic about moving up in the Central Washington League North Division standings, where three of the five teams qualify for the district playoffs. While Oroville was just 1-7 in league play last year, they actually won two more sets (10) than did fourth place Manson in league play, as well as winning 18 sets for the season. They suffered five five-set losses on the year before sweeping Manson in three straight to break their long losing streak, and did so without two injured starters. “They are constantly pushing themselves as individuals to improve their skills, and as a team to become more versatile in their playing strategies,” Rise says. “I am looking forward to watching them play this year.”
