King County Elections on Tuesday certified the results of the manual recount for Auburn City Council Position No. 6 Tuesday afternoon after completing the data entry required to

finalize the result.Certified results were posted at 4:30

p.m. after the Canvassing Board meet-ing.

Wagner finished with 6,125 votes, 50.1 percent in the combined results of King and Pierce counties, and Binetti had 6,095, or 49.9 percent.

That razor-thin margin had de-

manded an automatic hand recount.Binetti actually bested Wagner in

King County, 5,583 to 5,304 votes, but Wagner beat Binetti in Pierce County 811 to 507.

“The hand counting portion of our work for both the Auburn and SeaTac recounts was completed (Monday) with no incidents discovered that

would appear to alter the outcomes from the general election,” said Sherril Huff, King County Elections director.

As if working at two law firms and a credit bureau weren’t demanding enough, Betty Cannon went out and found a challenging role at a place where colorful characters and changing commerce meet.

Becoming a reliable, im-portant part of the Auburn

Area Chamber of Commerce proved to be a welcome respite, a different type of job from the one that meant pro-cessing paperwork on loans and bank-ruptcies, divorces and adoptions.

“But I had no idea that I was going to be there 44

years either,” Can-non said from her Auburn home. “If someone would have said that the first day I walked in, I probably would have walked back out or told

them they were crazy. It just happened and I stayed.”

Cannon, 71, recently de-cided she had stayed long enough and retired, ending a long, fulfilling run that saw her be everything from receptionist and book-keeper, community liaison and office manager.

“Even chief cook and bottle washer,” Cannon said with a grin.

During her time as a

dependable front office per-sonality with the chamber, Cannon worked under five managers – Bill Johnson, Bob Gaines, Gene Kasper, Mike Morrisette and Nancy Wyatt – and endured four office moves.

Through all the changes, Cannon persevered.

“Usually when they have a new manager come in, they make changes,” Cannon said. “But they all kept me instead of cleaning house.”

Cannon had the people skills, the demeanor.

“Betty brought such a wealth of knowledge about

not just the chamber but the Auburn community as a whole. She knew where the skeletons kept skel-etons,” said Wyatt, the chamber’s current president and chief operating officer. “She is an integral part of Auburn. Her connections in the community really helped me to quickly get acclimated over 7 1/2 years ago.”

Born and raised in South Dakota, Cannon lived on a cattle and sheep farm and went to a country school

Cannon leaves legacy at chamber, in community

where all eight grades were taught in one classroom.

Better opportunity brought the family from the farm to the Northwest in 1960. Her father was a truck driver, her mother worked at a credit bureau.

Cannon would marry. She and her husband, Ron, raised a son, Mike.

In 1971, a car accident claimed her husband. But Cannon stayed close to family and remained in Auburn.

She did clerical work before landing a job with the chamber. When she began her new job, the chamber had between 150 and 200 members. Today, that membership has more than doubled.

“Years ago you knew most of your members,” Cannon said. “But today you don’t see or know everybody. It has changed so much. There has been so much growth.”

Back then, the manual typewriter, pen and pencil were the tools of the trade that kept the books. Today, of course, computers have streamlined the process.

All of which makes Can-non’s head swim.

“It just went. It went quickly when you look back on it,” Cannon said of her career. “You don’t realize it at the time, but you do once you look back on it.”

Through the hard days, Cannon’s sense of humor made the tough stuff easier to handle.

“If you’re not laughing, you’re crying,” she said.

In retirement, Cannon intends to stay busy in her community with volunteer work. She makes time for her 94-year-old mother, Ardis Kansanback, who lives down the street. They frequently go to the casino to play bingo.

“It was a good run,” Cannon said of her time with the chamber. “Not every day was good … but I enjoyed it. I will miss the people.”

Cannon has left her mark.

“I miss having her sense of humor and sense of fun

and mischief in our office,” Wyatt said. “No matter what event we attended, everyone knew and loved Betty.

“She is greatly missed here at our office.”

City retains Community rating

The City of Auburn recently completed the National

Flood Insurance Program Community Rating System

(CRS) annual recertification process.

The City’s Class 5 CRS rating thus remains in good

standing for the upcoming year. Auburn, which has

maintained its Class 5 rating since 2008,

is one of only 77 communities nationwide

with a CRS rating of Class 5 or higher. Maintaining a Class 5

rating means that Auburn’s flood insurance policyholders will continue to receive lower

flood insurance premiums in designated areas.

stuck river trunk operational; final restoration activities ongoingFOr ThE rEPOrTEr

King County contractors have com-pleted construction of the Stuck River trunk sewer pipe and expect to finish final restoration activities this month.

The new sewer pipe will provide suf-ficient capacity to meet Auburn’s needs through 2050 and reduce the chance of sewer backups into homes and streets.

The Stuck River trunk is operational. Sewage flow that once entered the M Street trunk at 17 Street Southeast and K Street Southeast is now being diverted to the Lakeland Hills trunk via the Stuck River trunk pipeline.

Final restoration activities are ongo-ing through the end of the month:

• Lane striping will continue through the end of the year. Lane striping (painting) will happen along 17 Street Southeast between A Street Southeast and K Street Southeast as well as C Street Southwest. The work is weather dependent.

• Cleanup activities will take place once lane striping and any other minor wrap-up work is complete.

Motorists are urged to use caution when traveling through work areas, follow posted traffic signs, cones and flaggers and plan for extra travel time when commuting.

Police say that in the early morning hours of Dec. 1 a Kent man fired two shotgun blasts into a house in Mount Vernon where he believed his ex-girlfriend was staying.

But Maximillian Diltz, 23, got it wrong and, according to Mount Vernon Police, shot somebody

else’s place instead.Police arrested Diltz at his

workplace in Pacific on Dec. 2 and booked him into King County Jail for investigation of drive-by shooting.

The Skagit County Prosecutor has since charged him with drive-by shooting.

According to police, the owner of the house in the 5300 block of

Wellspring Road returned home just after 5:20 a.m. Monday to find two shots in his garage door.

No one was home when the shots were fired, and the man told police he didn’t know of anybody who would want to hurt him.

When police canvassed the neighborhood, a neighbor told them that, hearing shots at about 2:30 a.m., he looked out a window

and saw a white Volvo station wagon pulling away.

A woman in the neighbor-hood later told officers that her ex-boyfriend’s car matched that description. She said that they had broken up, and that she had recently filed a police report com-plaining about his harassing text messages and threats to change her social-media passwords.

According to police, she was staying at a friend’s house in the area at the time of the shooting.

Police said officers later got information that put the woman’s ex-boyfriend in the area 15 minutes before the shooting. They also found a shotgun and shells inside his home.

Man arrested at his job in pacific, charged with drive-by shooting

Plan needed for the homeless out in the cold

I’d like to make everyone aware that the City of Auburn doesn’t have a plan in place for homeless people when the temperatures are low.

The cold temperatures can be deadly. This is something everyone should be concerned about because this could hap-pen to anyone.

My mom helped a homeless person by buying her a meal and a winter coat during our freeze. She asked her if she was going to a shelter and soon contacted the police. The only shelter or “warming center” opens at 11 o’clock at night. The nearest homeless shelter from Auburn is 8.8 miles away in Federal Way. That is disgraceful.

I’m only 12 years old, and I know that this is a life-or-death situation. Hopefully, the people who run Auburn will step up and fix this issue and put a plan in place for when the temperatures become this hazardous.

We take for granted what we have and don’t notice the less fortunate. We all need to open our hearts and do what’s right. Not just this time of the year, but all the time.– Alex Gasperi

Barbershop helps support others

The day before Veterans Day this year I witnessed a beauti-

ful thing. I witnessed the value of showing appreciation and saying thank you to a person, and what it can do.

I was speaking to a home-less veteran who had traveled to the Auburn Valley Barber Shop for a free veterans hair-cut. His face was lit up. He was very thankful. He told me that this worked out great because he had a job interview in a few days. And then he walked away, to go back home or a shelter, I suppose.

I, at that point, felt thankful for living in an area that can help out others.

I wanted to scream out loud that a little store had gotten it right, and that the big chain stores that offer glamour and the illusion of community building had it all wrong.

Would McDonald’s go bankrupt if they gave out free cheeseburgers one day a year?

Could Wally World spin out of control and crash because

they offered a paid day to its veteran employees? I don’t think so.

I’m proud to see a fellow neighbor take on the role to help out. A free veterans hair-cut day may not mean much in the course of the universe, but it means something to us who are here and now.

Thank you, Randolph Simon, for committing your barbershop to helping out. I served in the military for almost a decade, and even though I know you are not a veteran, I say to you, “thank you for your service.”– Tito Alfredo Medina, Algona resident, Navy veteran

Help out economy, shop local this season

During the holiday season, Americans across the country have a unique opportunity to strengthen their local economies, support their communities and get great services and products by shopping small – shopping at small businesses, that is.

The holidays give us all the chance to reconnect with our neighbors and, whether you’re grabbing a cup of coffee from the shop around the corner or patronizing a local book store, every purchase at a small business makes a difference in your community.

America’s 28 million small businesses are the backbone of our economy, creating two out of every three net new private sector jobs, and we all have a role in helping small businesses succeed. At the U.S. Small Busi-ness Administration, we are committed to

ensuring small businesses have access to the capital, counseling and contract-ing opportunities they need to start and grow a business.

Since 2009, SBA has supported more than $126 billion in lending to more than 260,000 small busi-

nesses and entrepreneurs across the country. In fiscal year 2013 alone, SBA supported more than $29 billion in loans to America’s small businesses and entrepreneurs. Since 2009 in the Seattle District, SBA guaranteed $2.9 billion in supported loans.

SBA also has an extensive counseling and training network of Small Business Develop-ment Centers, Women’s Business Centers and SCORE volunteers, which cumulatively reach more than 1 million people each year.

In the Seattle District office, our partners have provided counseling and training to more than 7,500 small businesses.

Feds also can helpIn addition to helping small businesses

access the tools and resources that can help them take their business to the next level, SBA encourages the federal government to shop small by overseeing its supply chain for small businesses.

Federal contracting is a win-win. The fed-eral government gets to work with innovative small businesses – often with direct access to the CEO – and small businesses get an important source of revenue.

In fiscal year 2012, 22.25 percent of federal contracting dollars went to small businesses, up from to 21.65 percent in fiscal year 2011. And for the first time, more agencies than ever before reached or surpassed their prime contracting goals. In Washington state, nearly $2 billion of federal contract dollars awarded

The spirit of Christmas is alive and well at the Iron Horse Casino.

Staff and patrons at the popular Auburn gambling spot have banded together to chip in and brighten the holiday season for community members in need.

“Last year we adopted about 40 kids from Dick Scobee Elemen-tary and ended up helping about 52,” said Ryan Cites, the casino’s food and beverage manager. “This year we decided to start at 60. It’s our local school, and we want to continue to support them as much as we can.

“We basically get a list from them, anonymous of course,” he said. “It just has their age and whether they are a boy and a girl, with a few of their wants and things they actually need for Christmas.”

Once received, the lists make

their way on to the casino’s Christ-mas tree, where patrons and staff can pick a name and chip in by purchasing the items on the list.

“It’s kind of sad because sometimes some of their wants are simple, just things like a spiral notebook,” Cites said. “Just bare necessities.”

Once all of the lists are filled out, Cites said, the casino will deliver the items to the students at Dick Scobee.

“Christmas time is important for the kids,” Cites said. “Nobody wants to have nothing under the tree. And it’s a nice feeling to be able to help. A lot of us are lucky to be in the positions we’re in, but some aren’t so lucky. So every bit of brightness you can bring into their life is a blessing for both sides. And this is a good outlet to do this.”

The casino is also helping out by raising money and food donations for the Auburn Food Bank.

So far the Iron Horse has raised more than $6,000 and collected more than 450 pounds of food items.

“We’re going to continue to do that throughout Christmas,” he said. “We have a bin in the casino and, as long as the donations keep coming in, we’re going to keep do-ing that. Chris Kealy (owner of the Iron Horse) has made it a point to really give back, not just to this

community but to surrounding ones as well. We’ve been a long-time partner of the Relay for Life. We’re always a big part of that. He understands that not everyone is as fortunate, and anything we can do to give back is good.

“The Iron Horse staff has done a really good job of stepping up to the plate,” he said. “They have gone above and beyond to help out, beyond what we’ve asked.

There are so many good people working here.”

Anyone interested in helping out can deliver nonperishable food items, unwrapped toys and gifts and school supplies to the Iron Horse Casino at 333 15th St. NE.

“Then we can just take those and plug them into the right place,” he said. “We have a master list of what every kid’s wants and needs are.”

‘Pacin’ Parson,’ friends close in on walk totalRePoRteR staff

Don Stevenson’s latest benefit walk has hit close to home.

Auburn’s ultra-marathon walker and friend are nearing the completion of a 23,000-mile walk to raise money and aware-ness for multiple sclerosis. The journey is dedicated to Stevenson’s sister, Stephanie Barry, who passed away Dec. 1 from the devastating disease.

The 77-year-old “Pacin’ Parson” temporarily left Au-burn and his walk at Game Farm Park to travel to Ohio to baptize his sister.

“When we were teenag-ers we belonged to the Free Will Baptist Church,” Stevenson said. “I was baptized in the Olentangy River in Columbus, Ohio in mid-January. When the pastor went to get my sister to baptize her, our dad for-bade the pastor to baptize her in that chilly water. So over the past 60 years she went without being baptized. Hence, I baptized her. She was most grateful for that. She died in great peace, knowing the baptism was behind her.”

While away in Ohio, many of Stevenson’s friend walked in the park on his behalf.

“Amazingly they gave me over 2,000 miles,” Steven-son said. “By the end of this month, I hope to have only 3,000 miles to go.”

Proceeds from the walk benefit the National Mul-tiple Sclerosis Society.

Stevenson, a former Marine, pastor, teacher and truck driver, has walked more than 50,000 miles for various charities since 1998.

Senior DPA John Castleton handled the case.

Police were called to 4023 Auburn Way S. shortly after 1 a.m. When officers ar-rived, Quinn was uncon-scious and bleeding from a stab wound in the neck. Officers and medics tried CPR but pronounced him dead at the scene.

According to the Auburn Police Department’s af-fidavit of probable cause, which formed the basis for the charges, a woman at

the scene told police that Quinn had come into the residence from outside after being stabbed and told her that “Red Cloud,” Quinn’s cousin, Courville, had stabbed him.

Shortly afterward, Courville emerged from some bushes and identified himself to officers.

When detectives later asked Courville what had happened, he said that he had been experiencing a spiritual moment when he grabbed a butcher knife

from the residence and went outside. While out-side, Courville said Quinn had called him a “bitch,” so he stabbed him in the neck.

While detectives were interviewing Courville at the Auburn Police Depart-ment, he tried to escape from the interview room by assaulting the officer guarding him, and that dur-ing the struggle Courville removed the officer’s gun from its holster. The officer, however, disarmed Cour-ville before he could do any

more harm.“The defendant admitted

to stabbing the victim in the neck simply because the victim called him a name,” Deputy Prosecutor John B. Castleton Jr. “The autopsy revealed that the victim was stabbed multiple times about the head, face and neck.”

Courville has a 2010 conviction for second-de-gree robbery out of Pierce County, which arose from shoplifting at a department store.

numerous times at City Council, so it’s not any secret to anybody this hazard-ous situation we have, especially by the recycling center.”

“The state Legislature passed a law that allows any jurisdiction to pass a law, without any engineering study, to reduce posted speed on any roadways down to no less than 20 miles per hour,” AHBL consultant Sean Com-fort added.

Citing safety concerns, as well as the need to slow down the further deterioration of the well-patched and pothole-ridden arterial, the council breached protocol by pushing the ordinance straight from the Public Works Committee to the regular council meeting without discussing the issue in a workshop.

“Our concern with the commit-tee was just being that it is winter. It’s darker earlier, and the road is in bad shape,” Comfort said. “We have the potential of the road being in worse

shape. I think perhaps that was where the urgency was to make the change.”

Councilmember James McMahan, who voted in favor of the ordinance, said the drop to 25 mph was a good fit for the road in light of the recent reduction to 25 made on the Algona portion of the road.

The City will notify drivers of the change with signs marked by two red ribbons at either end of the Pacific portion of the highway.

“There would be very visible notice at both ends of that roadway with the new speed limit signs, which would be the only expense to the City,” Comfort said.

Officials are looking into ways to secure funding to repair the worn highway.

Ken Barnett, City building and code official, added that the reduced speed limit would likely deter truckers who drive the State Route 167 corridor from using West Valley Highway as an alternative once construction of the HOT Lane extension begins in the

summer of 2015.“It will cut down on through-truck

traffic because most truckers are not going to want to drop down to 25, even when the traffic is moving slow on 167,” Barnett said.

Councilmembers Vic Kave and Steiger were the only no votes on the ordinance.

ALSO: The City Council unanimous-ly voted to approve a resolution allow-ing the Pacific Police Department to purchase replacement handguns for officers.

According to Public Safety Director and Chief John Calkins, the depart-ment’s Glock .40 ACP sidearms are almost 20 years old and in need of repair.

Calkins told the council that at a recent firearm qualification two of the department’s guns misfired as a result of worn-out parts.

The council approved the purchase of 13 Sig Sauer .45 ACP weapons from Bulls Eye Shooter Supply in Tacoma for $10,659.82.

The City of Pacific officially proclaimed Dec. 11 as Do an Act of Kindness Day in honor of slain Pacific teen Walter Denesha.

Denesha, a 14-year-old Mt. Baker Middle School student, was killed by Brandon Suhr on June 1, 2012.

“All of us were truly affected by the events that took place on June 1 and are truly thankful for the efforts of our police depart-ment,” said Pacific Mayor Leanne Guier. “Our hearts go out, and it’s a great honor to

declare Do an Act of Kindness Day in honor of Walter.”

Denesha’s parents, Kevin and Janine Denesha, were at the City Council’s regularly scheduled meeting Monday to accept the proclamation.

Guier, Pacific Police Det. Dave Newton and Major Crimes Task Force Commander and Tony Matthews, a Lake Forest Police detective who led the investigation into the crime, presented the proclamation.

Suhr is serving 30 years in prison for kill-ing Denesha.

RepoRteR staff

The Auburn School Dis-trict Board of Directors on Monday agreed to set a $22 million technology replace-ment levy before voters in a Feb. 11 special election.

The levy provides six years of funding to take recommenda-tions made by the 2013 Technology Citizens Ad Hoc Committee and set them in motion. It replaces the 2005 technology levy.

Auburn School District Superinten-dent Kip Herren said that with the levy’s passage, local taxpayers’ projected school tax rate would remain level, and that spells out “a good deal” for taxpayers.

“Why it’s a good deal for the taxpayers is that – as per our strategies in terms of being disciplined to make sure that the tax burden remains level – we have the tech levy from six years ago, and we stretched it out over eight years and we can’t stretch it anymore. And because we have retired some bonds and

are retiring the capital improvement levy, we can run the tech levy.

“And actually,” Herren added, “it’s a big 2 cents less than the old levy on the taxing rate.”

Here’s what district vot-ers may expect for their bucks:

• 24/7 access to electronic resources for stu-dents, parents and teachers that allows for differentiation of learning, pro-grams and support

• Targeted 1:1 student device access rolled out during the course of the levy

• Wireless access in all buildings

• Technology enhance-ments for safety and security

• Digital devices for students and teachers to en-hance high-yield strategies in the classroom

• Digital tools for teach-ers to use available Learn-ing Management Systems and electronic educational resources

• A comprehensive, em-

bedded Digital Literacy and Citizenship K-12 curriculum

• Technology to facilitate group communication and collaboration learning by students, staff and admin-istrators

• A robust, broadband infrastructure to support various learning structures

The 40-member ad hoc committee, composed of community members, parents, teachers and staff, met this fall to create the recommendations on high-yield strategies, access for students and staff, infra-structure and funding.

The committee deter-mined that the levy is necessary to bring 21st Century learning tools into Auburn classrooms.

District receives award from Road Map projectfoR the RepoRteR

The Auburn School District has been awarded $200,880 as part of the Road Map Region Race to the Top grant.

The funds are to be used for college board springboard advising and increasing industry certi-fications.

The executive com-mittee for the Road Map Region Race to the Top grant recently issued preliminary awards of $1.5 million in investment funds for Project 8 (Col-

lege & Career Readiness) to districts participating in the consortium.

elsewhereThe auburn school District

Board of Directors was one of 15 school boards in the state recently to be named a Board of Distinction by the Washington State School Directors’ Association. “Each of these boards has excelled in school governance,” said Debbie Long, president of the association. “The boards had to rigorously document how their work was making a real difference for students. They are ex-ceptional models of effective school boards.” The annual Boards of Distinction program honors school boards that demonstrate effec-tive use of the Washington School Board Standards. The standards, developed and adopted by WSSDA

in 2009, promote research-based governance practices that lead to high levels of student and district achievement. …

The Auburn School District Board of Directors recently recognized heidi Bendt, an Auburn Moun-tainview High School teacher, and Brenda storm, a paraeducator at Lakeland Hills Elementary, for their outstanding service.

Rainier Middle school leader-ship students created, decorated and wrote messages in holiday cards as part of the Red Cross’ Holiday Mail for Heroes program. Students created more than 50 cards that were then mailed to the Red Cross. The holiday cards will be distributed to veterans, military families and active-duty service members at hospitals and installa-tions throughout the world.

Last season’s two-and-out fin-ish at the Washington State Mat Classic wrestling championships did not sit well with Auburn grappler Sam Lindsey.

“It wasn’t a great showing,” Lindsey said.

Rather than let his perfor-mance as a sophomore weigh on his mind in the offseason, however, Lindsey – now a junior – did something about it. He attended the J. Robinson Intensive Training Camp over the summer.

Lindsey, alongside team-mates Drew Aplin and Bailey Minnar, attended the two-week camp, tooled to train wrestlers to combine the dedication, mental focus and physical toughness they’ll need to compete at the highest level.

And one week into the prep wrestling season, the experience is already paying out dividends.

“It helped me a lot,” Lind-sey said. “It’s all about mental toughness. When you’re tired, pushing past that point, getting past that breaking point where normal people would give up and quit, you have to be able to get through it and keep pushing your muscles and tell yourself you’re not tired.”

In the Trojans first three matches of the season – a dou-ble-dual against Puyallup and Rogers last week, and Saturday’s Auburn Invite tourney – Lindsey

distinguished himself, knock-ing off a pair of returning state 195-pound placers.

On Dec. 4, Lindsey snagged his first two wins of the season, notching a pin at the 2 min-ute, 51 second mark of Rog-ers’ Hunter Hackney, before upsetting Puyallup senior Joseph Meyer – a fourth-place 4A state finisher at 195 last season – with a 5-3 decision.

“I knew coming in that [Meyer] was pretty strong,” Lindsey said. “He’s a big guy and took fourth at state last year. But I knew I wanted to compete, and I wanted to win it all. And I knew that to win it, I had to prove I can actually compete at the state level.”

Lindsey followed up this past Saturday at the Auburn Invite,

outscoring Vashon senior Preston Morris 5-3 in the finals. Morris finished second at 195 at last season’s 1A state tourney.

Serving notice that he means to be a force to be reckoned with this year, Lindsey – who entered the season unranked – said he is ready to take on all-comers.

“I’m just really looking for-ward,” he said. “I’m not looking to the past. I don’t care about old wins and losses. I’m just looking to beat the best.”

And according to Auburn head coach Dennis Herren, there are great things ahead for Lindsey.

“With his high academic marks, concern for the well-being of his teammates and

fierce work ethic, Sam is on his way to becoming a consummate Auburn wrestler,” Herren said. “He is off to a great start because the pursuit of excellence has become his habit: in the classroom, in

how he treats his peers and in his discipline upon the mat.”

ALSO: Other Auburn grapplers earning placings at the Auburn Invite were: Drew Aplin, third-place at 113; Balteer Rana, third-place at 126; Jamison

Glenn, fourth-place at 126; Sjon Snithily, third-place at 138; Jarrett Bishop, third-place at 152; Kolone Pedebone, second-place at 160; Bailey Minnar, fourth-place at 170; and Mario Luevano, second-place at 285.

For Auburn Riverside:

Gabriel Tugade, fourth-place at 113; Jose Juarez, fourth-place at 152; Brayden Packer, fourth-place at 220; and Larkin Williams, third-place at 285.

Defending 4A runner-up Tahoma took home the team title at the invite.

per game, 7 rebounds per game) Ruffin (10 ppg, 3 assists per game) and Paul (9 ppg, 5 rpg). This year Auburn has to bank on its speed and athleti-cism to make up for a lack of size. On the boards the team looks for Paul and 6-2 post Dom Ecklund to pull down the rebounds. The team also looks to Williams (who had 21 points in the Trojans’ opening game) and Chuol to make some noise. “Time will tell how these Trojans com-

pare to previous years,” Hansen said. “I like their toughness and work ethic. They need to perform on a daily basis and compete against bigger teams to find ways to win games.”

Key Games: This year’s two contests against Auburn Riverside – 7:30 p.m. Jan. 10 at Auburn and 7:30 p.m. Feb. 6 at Auburn Riverside – should be key games for both teams.

Auburn Mountainview Coach: Terrance Johnson, 2nd year.

Last Season: Tied for 1st in SPSL 3A with 7-3 league record, 13-11 overall.

Last State Appearance: none.

Top Returners: None

Top Newcomers: Tristan Miguel, sophomore, 6-9, post; and Wyatt Walstad, senior, 6-4, wing.

Outlook: The Lions took a big hit courtesy of graduation last year and return a team chockfull of underclass-man and a handful of seniors without much varsity experience. Johnson looks to the nine sophomores, one ju-nior and four seniors on the squad to garner experience quick. One luxury the team does have is size, with five players standing 6-4 or taller. “Our goal is to get better as the season progresses, and give ourselves a chance to be competitive in league,” Johnson said. “We will have good moments and learning moments, but we do have a chance to develop into a nice team and have a good season.”

Key Games: The Lions get an early nonleague test at 8:30 p.m.Dec. 21 when they take on Kentwood at the ShoWare Shootout in Kent.

Auburn RiversideCoach: Jason Brown, 2nd year

Last Season: 8th place in the SPSL North 4A with a 4-12 record, 6-14 overall.

Last State Appearance: none

Top Returners: Derek Brown Jr., senior, 5-10, guard; Derek White, junior, senior, guard; Drew Wallen, 6-2, senior, wing; Mitch Wetmore,

junior, 5-9, guard; and Joshua Turner, senior, 6-2, wing.

Outlook: Already this season the Ravens are on the verge of eclips-ing their win total from last year with a 3-0 record through Dec. 11. In those three games the team is averaging 87 points per game while holding opponents to just over 67 points per game. In Au-burn Riverside’s first game of the season, against Capital, the team erupted for 109 points, with Derek Brown and Wetmore notching 34 points each in the contest. In those games, Brown, who led the SPSL North 4A in scoring last year with 22 ppg, averaged 26 ppg. Couple in the improved play of a strong core of returners such as Wallen, Wetmore, White and Turner and a crop of talented newcomers and the team could sneak up on lot of teams in the SPSL North 4A.

Key Games: The Ravens play Auburn twice this season, at 7:30 p.m. Jan. 10 at Auburn, and at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 6 at Auburn Riverside.
