Core of the WildcatsThe new team coalescing on the Mount Si baseball team looks to make its mark with solid defense and hitting.Ten seniors make for a well-rounded team that includes Wildcat baseball vets.“We’ve got a good core,” says senior Brian Woolley, who, with Griffin McLain, was part of the unforget-table state championship program in 2011.“I want the same thing as two years ago,” says McLain. “We have the tal-ent to do it.”New head coach Zach Habben can’t rely on the lopsided, two-to-one victories of past teams.“We’ll have the guys who go out and

compete,” said Habben. “Defense, we’re going to be solid. As far as pitching, it’s up in the air. We’re going to see who is going to step up and fill those shoes.”While the battery is still being config-ured, junior Zach Usselman returns for his second varsity year as catcher.

Woolley promises the hits. If there’s another strength, “it’s going to be how close we are as a team,” he says.There’s a lot of club experience, and these players go back a long way together.“Outside of baseball, we’ve been friends for a long time,” Woolley said.

“We’re all close,” added McLain. This big crop of seniors and returners including Joey Cotto, Evan Johnson, Woolley, Connor Jensen, Gunnar Buhner and Joe Done, will leaven a new group including seniors Nick Adams and Chace Kairis. Next up, Mount Si visits Kamiakin and Walla Walla on March 16.

Mount Si High School SPORTSEyes and ears of the teamMost of the big names are back as the Mount Si softball team reloads this spring. Familiar leaders, like seniors Mickey Blad, Lauren Smith and Tamarra Crowe, and experienced younger players like Celine Fowler, Paige Weatherbee, Nikki and Jenny Carroll, Rachael Picchena and Britney Stevens, bring strong potential.Smith, at centerfield the communicator of the team, has been a varsity player all four years of high school.She works hard: “I like to push myself on the field, and academically,” says Smith. She wants to push that hard-working philosophy to the whole Wildcat gang.“I want to see us grow athletically, and as people,” says Smith. “This team’s chemis-try just keeps getting better.”Crowe, at shortstop, wants to achieve, wants her own batting skills to grow, and most of all, wants that state title.“I want to make sure everyone knows what they’re doing, help everyone out, and be a leader on the infield.”A newcomer to the team is senior Courtney Wilhelm, experienced from the Woodinville Reign club team.Head coach Larry White, back for his 13th season, found a spot for her, for which Wilhelm is grateful. She plays softball because it’s fun, and different.“Of all the sports I’ve played, softball has the best sense of humor and the best atti-tude toward the game,” Wilhelm says.

2013 spring sports Preview

Their time to shineThis is her time. Last year could have been, but the very focused Mount Si senior Danielle Burns was sidelined for half a season by injury. She lettered, and ended up playing one-handed in the league tournament last season, missing the cut to districts, amazingly, by 17 strokes.Already college committed to Methodist University in North Carolina, she’d love to get another shot at state.“I’m here to play, and I’m here to go as far as I can,” Burns said.She’s part of a likely top three for the Mount Si girls golf team that includes junior Tabitha Dorn and incoming freshman Caitlyn Maralack.Dorn says she comes to this year with a new, patient attitude. She wants to play her best, every week, and seeks a score in the low 80s.Golf is “my way of getting away,” Dorn says. “It’s something of my own.”Besides Burns, seniors include Cecelia Dixon and Paxton Richardson. The team is rounded out by Bianca Backman, Samantha Inman and Megan Ayers.These golfers are into the game, says head coach Brandon Proudfoot. All come in with experience. That makes for a good depth in the mix of the top six and the potential for the best season in years.

Paxton RichaRdson, tabitha doRn, caitlyn MaRalack, danielle buRns, bianca backMan, saMantha inMan, and Megan ayeRs. not PictuRed: cecelia dixon.

Getting into high gearJimbo Davis sits comfortably on the thick mat, watching as pole vaulters race past, attempting to fly and offering tips. Davis is qualified to advise, as he went to state in this event last year. Narrowly missing a spot on the podium, “I’m coming back for revenge,” the senior says. Committed to play football at the University of Nevada next fall, he wants to enjoy this last semester of Mount Si track and field.Fellow senior Danielle Curley, who just missed state with a seventh-place finish at districts last year, is the most experienced vaulter for the girls. “We have a lot of potential for the next couple of years to really see people make it to Kingco, districts and state,” she said.Seniors to watch include state-experienced hurdler Ashley Jackson, who took third in the state 300 hurdles event. Jackson is a mainstay in the pro-gram, having gone to state in hurdles three years running.Senior Dom Canady is coming into the season in his best shape ever, and coaching staff say he’ll likely be the lead distance runner. For the girls, Bailey Scott and Abbey Bottemiller return to the distance group, and new-comer Maddy Hutchison could surprise as a fast 800- and 1,600-meter leader.Then there’s Bradly Stevens, who took home gold in the javelin at state in 2012, only to hurt his elbow on the very next throw. He’s recovering and plans to be peaking by the time state comes this year. “We’re making sure it’s strong enough,” said Stevens, who has been putting in 2,000 throws a week. He’s also closing in on his time in the 110 hurdles, which he narrowly missed a state berth in last year.

Mount Si High School SPORTSThe main ingredientSpeed will be the reloaded Mount Si boys soccer team’s main weapon in its hunt for greatness this spring.“Everyone that plays attack is lightning quick, and we can use that to our advantage,” says senior Alex Censullo.“We’ve got the leaders that we need, the role players,” says senior keeper Hunter Malberg, who, at practice, stands out as the vocal communicator of the squad.A big group of seniors includes Censullo and Kody Clearman, who were among the top scorers in KingCo as juniors, while cur-rent junior Aaron Baumgardner will be a key part of the Wildcat attack. Makhosandile Lancelot, a junior transfer from Shorewood High, is also expected to add some speed to this team.“I’m a quick, small guy, used to getting into tight spaces,” he says. Lancelot started playing at a young age and got more com-petitive as he got older. “We are here to take home the KingCo championship,” says Censullo, whose personal goals include getting back on the league first-team list. As in many Mount Si sports, roots run deep, and Censullo says this group has known each other for years. This team has been underrated, says Clearman, but they’ve got the potential to do a lot, especially with their attack.Alex Censullo, Kody CleArmAn

‘We’re definitely going to play’The Mount Si girls tennis team is practicing on their blue courts. It’s a cool day, chilly, perhaps.“At least we’re outside,” says senior Cheyenne Dixon, after returning volleys in a practice drill. “Last year we were barely outside,” on account of ceaseless rains.By today, a little more than a week into practice, this team has had more time outside than in the bulk of last spring. That means that this squad is already improving on the 2012 season. Dixon, who was part of last year’s doubles squad that represented at the league tournament, was among several returning players to grace the team. Others to watch include Kelcey Sharp, Peyton McCulley and Alaina Kinghorn.“It’s kind of like family now,” says Dixon. “It’s fun and everybody is so nice.” Newcomers are made to feel welcome.Attitude is good, adds fellow senior Kayla Schumacher.“No one is mad if they lose,” she said. “It’s always ‘Good game,’ ‘Good hit.’”It’s early, but “we’re definitely going to play,” said Dixon.“We go with the flow,” says Schumacher.Dixon plays for fun. She’s not a heavy player in the off season, but during the year, “I try to get better and improve.”

cedarcrest high school sports

Clayton laCher, Christian MaCMillan

They were in eighth grade the last (and first) time Cedarcrest High School’s baseball team won a state championship, but seniors Clayton Lacher and Christian MacMillan still light up when talking about that win. They get even more excited thinking about their own chances at state, just a few weeks into the season. “That would be so cool!” they agree. Lacher, a first- and third-baseman, just

loves baseball, playing all through high school, and most of his life. He also plays football, but, he says, “football is just to get ready for baseball.” MacMillan, recovering from shoulder surgery, has the same long career playing the game, because “My dad played semi-pro ball, so I’m always trying to one-up him!” The team, MacMillan says, “is pretty solid all around.”

Cedarcrest soccer: Never stopping

Chris Cole

Life is all about soccer for Cedarcrest junior and soccer team co-captain Chris Cole. Sure, he’s played basketball, too, but that phase is over for him. “I’m done with basketball, so I can focus on soccer,” says the mid-fielder and forward, who’s played soccer since he was 4 years old, and hopes to play in college. “It was just one of those things. I started playing with the ball and never stopped.” Cole is looking forward to a non-stop season, too, with such goals as staying undefeated at home, and winning first place in the conference, plus, of course, going to the state championship. They’re not really his goals, though. “It’s really more of a team thing with me. I’d like my team to go as far as we can,” he says. With a roster of not quite 20 experienced upperclassmen, they all stand a pretty good chance.

luke DrisColl

Cedarcrest track: ‘Always set goals’Track has been an exciting discovery for Luke Driscoll, a Cedarcrest High School senior who just started run-ning last year. His first season began with a 12-second 100-meter dash, and ended with an 11:18 personal record, and a trip to the state track meet. “I’ve never been a runner,” he says, “but I’ve always been fast.” This season promises just as much excitement for the sprinter, who plans to run the 400-meter race by the end of the season, and to shave almost a half-second off his 100-meter time. Aside from being naturally fast, Driscoll thinks his suc-cess comes from his determination. “Just always set goals, and try to achieve them,” he explains. “It’s what I did last year.” He also tries to help his fellow runners achieve their goals, however he can. “If a teammate beats me, fine,” he says, “but if anoth-er team beats me, that’s not OK!”
