Seventh grade team pulls out game
Snoqualmie Middle School’s seventh-grade volleyball team
continued to stretch its wings at the Battle of
the Birds 2000.
They won the second game of the match against Chief
Kanim in great part due to the sizzling serves of
Erin Caldwell, who started them out with a 10-0 lead. Other key serves
were made by Alicia Elmore, Molly Stout and Erin Dunklee. Alas, the
serves then deserted them and they couldn’t pull off another game win for the
victory.
Dives and spikes were used on defense by Kylee Lobb, Caldwell
and Elmore. Brianna Westergren and Allyson Rosman remained poised
and confident on the court, and the injured Ali Bilow and Lindsay
Florence cheered the team on from the sidelines. This team has a lot of heart and
they will be back next year.
Kanim rolled by White River
Chief Kanim’s eighth-grade football team hosted White River
on Wednesday. The Hawks found themselves down early, as White
River marched the ball down the field on the opening drive and scored.
CKMS couldn’t move the ball on offense and had to give the ball back. The
halftime score was 13-0.
In the second half, the Hawks saw much of the same as White
River cruised to a 27-0 win. On defense, Chris Nevins led the team with
10 tackles and a fumble recovery. Logan McMackin and Zach Elmer
had seven tackles each. The Hawks will prepare for the upcoming night
game against Snoqualmie Middle School Nov. on 1.
Snoqualmie Middle School wins
Lots of practice and enthusiasm that couldn’t be contained helped
the Snoqualmie Middle School’s seventh-grade volleyball players win their
first game last night against the Islanders.
Even though the Eagles won one and lost two against Mercer
Island, they were able to taste victory for the first time thanks to the great
serving of Erin Cladwell, Alicia Elmore and Allyson Rosman. Standout
defensive players were Erin Dunklee, Brianna Westergren, Molly Stout and
Kylee Lobb.
SMS defeats Mann
The Snoqualmie Middle School’s junior-varsity football team earned
its third win by a score of 27-19, improving their record to 3-2 with the game
against Mann. The Eagle offense was powerfully lead by the
outstanding blocking line of Jacob Wirth, Zach Carlson, Chris Grewell, and
Levi Nelson, and with key runs by Beau Davis and Cody Hyatt.
Defensively, the Eagles gave up three touchdowns, but the defense
limited Mann’s offensive production. The Eagles will face Chief Kanim
next week.
SMS loses close game
Snoqualmie Middle School’s eighth-grade football team put
together effort and execution to give a tough Keithley team all it could
handle last Wednesday afternoon in Tacoma.
A pass by Alex Grazda to Zach Bowen in the first quarter got
the Eagles their first score, and Adam Rothgeb rolling left, throwing
right, found Derek Donah streaking down the sideline for a second score to
send the game into overtime.
Aaron Chadwell, Trevor Moore, Jonathan Mason and Chip
DeLurme were the horses up front, matching Keithley’s strength and desire.
Each team was determined to stop the other and it wasn’t until the second
overtime, as darkness settled on the field, that the Colts were able to
persevere with a 20-13 victory.
Brandon Sales, Manch Garhart and Chris Brown left some
Keithley players bruised and battered. The Eagles are looking forward to
taking this team effort to next Wednesday’s “Battle of the Birds” at 7:00 p.m.
under the lights at Mount Si High School. The Eagles are coached by
Brad Hillard, Jeremy Smith, Vernie Newell and Trent Bass.
