PAGE 10 BRUAR 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. Thinking of the season brought two other comments from Carlquest. He wins over Granger on the road were lights, along with the of Callan Wilkins to play. Wilkins tor cuff during the season.

Two Goldendale wrestlers off to Tacoma, vying at Two wrestlers from Goldendale will compete in the Washington State Wrestling Championships this weekend. Cody Hamilton and Chas Warner advanced to the 16th annual Mat Classic in Tacoma Feb. 2o and 21. It is the largest event held by the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association; the two will com- pete in front of a huge crowd in the vast area of the Tacoma Dome. Both earned their slots in the championship last week- end at the regional tourna- ment in Royal City. Hamilton, a rookie wrestler, out scored Warden's Ben Martinez in the 145- 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 the championship round. Warner was out scoring Carlos Hernandez 7-2, when Hernandez r move and pinned Warner placed all in the 215-pound and closed out the and I. Warner is ranked the state IA class Hernandez is one.

The tournament Friday morning at lO the championship held Saturday evening -- Greg Gol ale II iris fall hard to Zillah irited ame 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.

A stirring example of the T'Wolves' never-say-die attitude during that game. 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."
