SPORTS EDITOR
The Goldendale Volleyball Club's U12 Gold
team went undefeated after pool play on Sun-
day en route to winning the Goldendale Tour-
nament.
Consisting of nine girls in fourth
through sixth grade, the U12 Gold team was
able to knock off teams from The Dalles,
White Salmon and Selah among others be-
fore winning the eight-team tournament.
It's the second tour nament win in the last few
weeks for the U12 Gold team. The UI2 spikers
were able to win the consolation bracket at a
Selah tournament toward the end of Januarg
Coach Jen Bomberger said the girls have
been improving in the basics and have been
competing really hard the last few competi-
tions.
"Defensively we're setting up the ball
well. We try and teach them to bump, set
'and hit," Bomberger said. "They're actually
doing that which is awesome."
The U12 Purple and Gold teams return to
the court on March 5 for a tournament in
Hermiston.

Points are awarded based on finishes from the
eight races throughout the season: Scores from
each competitor's six best races are used to deter-
mine their final points count.
Scott Doubravsky, who owns the Eddieville and
Starvation Ridge courses in Goldendale, has been
a bigtime supporter of the kids and the Over The
Bars Gang. Since opening both tracks in 1998, he's
been a big part of the racing community here.
He'S constantly at work changing his courses or
working with and helping young racers and often
supplies bikes for riders to use.
"I like to see (riders) do something that they
can do all their life and something they have a pas-
sion in," Doubravsky said, noting that is isn't un-
common for people to continue riding into their
70s.
His son, Brent, who's also 12, has been another
successful racer from the Over The Bars Gang. Al-
though he didn't place in any events this season,
he has won junior A, B and C titles in the past and

the speed and conditioning."
He also remembered a wrestling coach he knew
who preferred that all his light weight wrestlers
participate in cross country to build up their sta-
mina and conditioning There were a handful of
runners from the Goldendale boys No. 10 ranked

I know I'm neglecting many other sports that
benefit athletes competing in both, but the fact of
the matter is, as Hale said earlier in the storg, is
that competing in any sport will prove valuable
for multi-sport athletes.

"If your body's not healthy, not training not
