PAGE 12 MARCH Trout Lake boy fall M nsfield at regiona Trout Lake High School hoys basketball team finished its season losing 47-55 to Mansfield. Last Thursday's game was the first trip to a regional tournament in years and Coach Morgan Colburn said that the team had never real- ly played a game at that level before. "I think they might have been shell shocked to have played in a regional game," he said. The Mustangs were down by 19 points going into the half, playing what Colburn called their worst half ever. After halftime came back to points of Man further falling sistent free said that during half his Mustangs together, than we normally Mansfield said the first half if his played to their dards they would b have beaten them six at least."

Junior By MITCH WOLFE Special to The Sentinel The Goldendale Middle School wrestlers traveled to Wapiti, Wash., competed in a multi-school match, and came home with memories of tri- umph. The wrestlers drove up on Feb. 28 to compete in the Mid- Valley Super Match. Comprised of 15 schools from the Mid-Valley League and five schools from the Gold League, the Super Match is the middle school equivalent of a high-intensi.ty state champi- onship. To say the competition was fierce is an understatement. The tournament began at 9 a.m. and by lO p.m., Goldendale had four wrestlers going into the match: Jeremy Wolfe, Travis Shuster, Caleb Ferch and Aaron Ferch. To get to the match, our wrestlers had to defeat every opponent on his side of the bracket. Likewise, on the cross bracket side, other kids were fighting to win. One loss and you were knocked into the consolation round. Having_ defeated every opponent in their respective brackets and earning the right to be called champions; it was time to meet the cross bracket champion for the coveted title of "Super Champ." Tension, fatigue and rattled nerves were running high as all the mats were rolled up save for one and that mat was placed dead center in the g~n. Suddenly the "~vm went dark and an overhead spot light was lowered into place, directly over the mat. "Let's get readyyyyy tooooo rumbllllle!" the announcer shouted. For some of the competi- tors, this was the biggest moment of their young lives, a culmination of training, hard work and dedication. The champions faced each other from across the mat and SALMON FISHING OPENING SOON Washington and Oregon adopted non- Indian sport and commer- cial spring chinook fishing seasons in the Columbia River that provide abun- Outdoor Terry Nickels I to mid-vail match as opponent introductions were made the sweat began to pour! It was time to decide, who was the super champ. When the smoke cleared and the cheering was done , only Jeremy Wolfe and Travis Schuster stood atop the podi- um, or more appropriately, on top of the world. They had earned the fight to be called "Super Champs." Caleb and Aaron Ferch, both champions from their side of the bracket, wrestled hard, but came up just short of wining their super match bouts. Other medal winners were Micheal Lauff with a bronze medal and Wade Plumely with fourth place. Lance Stevens, Micheal Hammet, and Nick Dumolt finished in sixth place of the consolation rounds. Teams competing in this super match were Cle Elum, East Valley, Grandview, Sunnyside, Highland, Prosser, Ellensburg, Wahluke, Naches, Selah, Top-penish, Union Gap, Wapato, West Valley, Zillah, Kittitas, Goldendale, Granger, Mabton, and White Swan. Although Goldendale High School wrestlers have had little to cheer about in recent years these young middle school kids and their performances at the Mid Valley Super Match proves that for the next four years the vocal chords of fans, parents, and coaches alike will surely be tested. three or four pounds of feed daily, and with "alfalfa pellets running at least 12 cents a pound, a four-or- five-month-long feeding commitment can cost over $7o per deer.
