14--NOVEMBER 1,2017 GOLDENDALE, WASHINGTON Goldendale boys, grids reach state in same season for first time in school history Jamr0 Cu~ SPORTS EDITOR Before the first meet of this cross country season, Goldendale head coach Juli Rising knew both her boys and girls teams had the talent to advance to the state meet. She also expected it. She set the team's goals high, and knew her runners - with a full sea- son of training in her successful running program and two of the top runners in the state on each team - would be tough and ready come postseason time. That's exactly what happened last Thursday on a warm sunny after- noon at the Apple Ridge course in Cowiche, where the girls team fin- ished as South Central Athletic Con- ference runner-up, and the boys third, both reaching the state meet in the same season for the first time in Goldendale history. That's right, all 12 Goldendale runners will be competing next weekend among the state's best, starting with the Class 1A girls race at 10:30 a.m. at the Sun Willows Golf Course in Pasco, with the boys shortly after at noon. Senior Dillon Rising finished runner-up among boys, finishing the three-mile race in 15 minutes, 50.6 seconds while sophomore Ellie Rising was second overall among girls in 19:07.9. To advance to state, the team as a whole had to finish in the top three JARYD CLINE Rt=ASTL~:Y: Sophomore Sterling Beasley cruises along the course at Apple Ridge last Thursday at the district meet. or an individual had to place in the top 21 to earn a berth if their team didn't make it. Juli's husband, Rob, kept track of the team of each individual runner as they crossed the finish line, giv- ing them an idea of their team placed. Rising already had a hunch that the girls made it before the officials announced it, but kept it from her team to enhance the excitement. "I said 'Do not tell the girls.

The Timberwolves, after finishing the regular season at the No. 4 seed in the South Central Athletic Conference West, traveled to Kiona Ben- ton on Tuesday for the open- ing round of the district tour- nament, but results weren't available when the papers were sent out. Information on the game can be seen at Gold- endalesentinel.com. Since taking over head coaching duties at Goldendale in 2001, Jodi Bellamy has led the Timberwolves to the dis- trict tournament in every year except one. Reaching districts is nice, but Bellamy and the rest of the Timberwolves have their eyes set on advancing past districts for the first time since 2008, when they finished as league and district champions, and took fLffh place at state. "It's always a good accom- plishment," Bellamy said. "I feel good for the kids. I want more for them of course. That's always our goal. To get to the state tournament. It's been a long time."

The Cougars used that game as motivation to fuel last Friday's 68-22 stomping of the Vikings in their Eastern Washington Athlet- ic Conference finale, capping a brilliant regu- lar season for a team that has played with as few as 13 players in a game. The win vaulted the Cougars into second place in the EWAC standings, and the team that just made the jump to ll-man football last season after a decade of eight-man, is headed for the postseason. They host a home playoff game against Oroville on Friday at 7 p.m. at Lyle High School. The Hornets, out of the Central Washington Football League, finished 5-4 overall and 5-3 in conference play Of teams with winning records in the CWFL, Oroville allowed the most points (184) and also scored the most (257). The Cougars finished as the highest scor- ing team in the EWAC, compiling 280 points during league competition.
