FEBRUARY 19,
By DAVI
For Goldendale's boys' bas-
ketball the season is over.
Their final weekend brought
both a highlight and a disap-
pointment.
The highlight came in
Friday night's last-second
victory in Zillah. Callan
Wilkins sunk a shot for the go
ahead 50-48 win over the
Leopards, tying them for
fourth and perhaps lengthen-
ing the season.
The letdown came the next
night as the Timberwolves
lost to the Highland Scotties
52-47, losing the shot at post-
season play.
The Timberwolves finished
with a 500 record giving them
fourth place in the South
Central Athletic Conference
(SCAC). "I thought that five
and five would have gotten us
in" the playoffs, said Coach
Mike Carlquist. Which brings
up another sad point:
Carlquist said the boys played
poorly early in the season.
"You have high expecta-
tions," said Carlquist. "We
did well last year."
Goldendale lost to White
Salmon early in the year and
Carlquist thought that game
should have gone the other
way. "One more win could
have kept the season alive,
but that's part of high school
sports."
Things can be put simply:
Some years involve post-sea-
son play and some years
don't. The situation this sea-
son, as far as Carlquist is con-
cerned, was that five good
teams played in the SCAC and
only one bad team, Cle Elum.

Cody Hamilton and Chas
Warner advanced to the 16th
annual Mat Classic in Tacoma
Feb. 2o and 21. It is the largest

Dome.
Both earned their slots in
the championship last week-

pound category with a 4-o
decision placing him third
overall in the tournament.
The top four athletes in each
weight class go to Tacoma.
Coach Omar Flores said that
Hamilton is in great shape
and is hoping "to get him a
medal."
Warner lost his first match
of the season, finding himself
pinned to the mat 3:45 into

Timberwolves '
girls have two
games this
week in SWAC
district match-up
By GREG SKINNER
News Reporter
If it's possible to lose and
win during the same game
the Goldendale High School
Varsity girl's basketball team
did it Friday night.
In front of approximately
90 Goldendale fans the Lady
Timberwolves controlled the
game in all aspects but one:
scoring. "We didn't shoot
well," said Jeff Fields,
Goldendale head coach.
Alluding to a trend this sea-
son, Fields noted, "It's been
our nemesis."
The Timberwolves lost to
the Zillah Leopards 27 to 54
placing them fourth in overall
standings in the South
Central Athletic Conference
West division (SWAC).
Fields said the team has
improved its scoring capabili-
ty over the year; strong scor-
ing on the first five posses-
sions gave Goldendale an
eight-point lead to start
Friday's game.
That lead died, and
Goldendale's offensive game
changed as shooters missed
baskets.
Rachel Bare, team captain
and point guard, said that the
game should have been clos-
er, "We forced the second-
ranked team in the state into
34 turnovers."
After the initial scoring
rally the Timberwolves went
seven minutes without a bas-
ket. "That's really going to kill
you," said Bare.

from behind, never recover-
ing the score advantage after
those seven minutes, yet it
was impossible to tell if the
Timberwolves knew they
were losing.
Hustle was plentiful as
Goldendale forced Zillah to
earn each of 54 points, it
scored for the night. At one
point in the second quarter
Goldendale took the ball from
Zillah in three consecutive
attempts on the basket. "They
are quality kids and real ath-
letes don't quit," said Fields.
Sophomore Kayli Camp-
bell moved into the game late
and was a prime example of
Goldendale's persistent
determination, defending
Zillah's play makers all the
way through half court and
into the lane. "That's Kayli's
trip," said Fields, "She's
tough." Fields says that his
sophomore roster is the
future of the game. Fields
filled his roster with younger
players during the final four
minutes of the game.
Even with the loss
Goldendale is feeling fine in
anticipation of a wining the
first of two games to be
played in the double elimina-
tion SWAC district tourna-
ment.
The Timberwolves meet
Riverview on their turf
Thursday evening. Saturday
the girls meet one of two
teams, Zillah or Columbia
Burbank depending on how
events unfold Thursday.
Following a good Monday
morning practice, Bare
thought the team has a fresh
start now that the regular sea-
son is over. "Now we're o and
o again," she said.
Goldendale played a close
game against Riverview the
last time they met.
Coach Fields thinks the
girls have a chance to keep
playing: "Were optimistic, if
we play better we can play
with anyone."
