Cruisers receive Evergreen League honors By Skip Smith
Contributing writer
The 2022 Evergreen League announced its AllLeague awards for this past fall sports season, and there were many Cruisers on the list. After taking home a share of the 1A Evergreen League title during the regular season, the Eatonville Cruiser football team fared well in All-League awards with 13 players taking home postseason honors, as voted on by coaches in the league. Job Kralik earned Evergreen League Offensive Co-MVP honors, sharing the award with Montesano's Jayden McElravy. Kralik finished the season with 741 yards on 36for-51 passing and nine touchdowns. On the ground, he carried the ball 86 times, racking up 743 yards and 18 touchdowns and averaging 8.6 yards per carry. He also was named to the first team as a kicker. He converted 37-of-41 extra-point attempts and was 3-for-3 on field goal attempts, with his longest being 37 yards. He led the league in overall points scored with 160. Kralik received multiple offers from various colleges before deciding to commit to Army.

Cox was one of several Cruiser football players who received All-League honors in the 1A Evergreen League. Junior Dylan Norman was named first team running back after he ran for 1,161 yards rushing on 182 carries, averaging 6.4 yards per carry and seven touchdowns. Norman was the runnerup for the rushing title in the league, trailing Tenino’s Dylan Spicer who finished
with 1,481 yards. Seniors Kyle Cox, Tristan Lewis and Carsen Pero were all named first team offensive linemen. Cox received nine offers from colleges before committing to Boise State. Lewis, who was also named a second team defensive lineman,
currently has offers from Eastern Washington and Portland State, but is still weighing his decision. Pero has an offer from Whitworth. Linebackers Payton Hanly and Max Henley rounded out the list of first-team selections for the Cruisers.

Council approves transportation, ferry improvement plans By Brett Davis
Contributing writer
The Pierce County Council unanimously adopted the 2023-28 Transportation Improvement Plan and the 2023-36 14-Year Ferry Program at its last meeting before Thanksgiving. The Transportation Improvement Program outlines the county’s
future transportation plans. This transportation document is updated annually per state law. Consideration of this ordinance was continued from the council’s Nov. 15 meeting for additional review. The planning and programming documents related to the county’s transportation system identify
more than $336 million of capital expenditures via the Public Works Construction Fund and includes 86 projects. Long-range maintenance and capital improvements for all major elements of the ferry system are also included in the ordinance passed by the council at its Nov. 22 meeting. Major expenditures include $2.2
million to replace the Ketron Island ferry landing terminal that helps guide ships in and $1.2 million for the replacement or repair of components of the Anderson Island and Steilacoom ferry landings. “Well, I’ll just thank the council and department staff for your hard work on this,” Council Chair Derek Young said.
