"You are coming to our game aren't you?" "Huh? What? A game? When?" I asked absent- mindedly. I was multi-tasking- taking attendance, trying to settle down the class, running down the agenda of junior Honors English that day. Now I was trying to take part in a conversation. Never a good idea. "Tuesday," one of the five softballers in my class answered. "Uhhh, I'll have to check my schedule," I thought about the stack of essays I hadn't graded yet. My belly twinged again with time-away-from-fam...
PRESCOTT - The Waitsburg Prescott hardballers earned a split with Tri-Cities Prep here Saturday on the springiest day of the spring sports season. The 70-degree sunlight didn't help WP in its first game as the Tigers tumbled to a disappointing 6-2 loss. WP rebounded in the afternoon affair, taking the high-scoring second half of the twinbill, 14-9. Prep starter Isaac Nelson held the WP offense in check for most of game one. Nelson fanned five through the first three innings while allowing just one hit. Nelson finished with eight Ks and seven...
ASOTIN - The Dayton Bulldogs baseball team struggled Saturday, losing both ends of a double-header to the Asotin Panthers. The inexperienced bulldogs were shut out in first game, 10-0, as Asotin's pitchers combined for a two-hitter. Lowden Smith and Logan Hays had the teams only hits. Smith pitched a complete game, but the bulldogs gave up 10 runs to the Panthers, while committing 12 errors. In the second game, the Bulldogs scored two runs in the top of the first inning, but ended up with a...
ASOTIN - Dayton's softball team is off to a strong start after taking two victories against Asotin in Saturday's double-header. In the first game, the bulldogs rode a four-run second inning to edge the Lady Panthers 6-5. Pitcher Sam Harting gave up five runs on three hits, with the Dayton girls committing three errors. The Lady Bulldogs had six runs on six hits, with Courtney Mings collecting two hits and Sarah Phillips, Jessica Tate, Lexus Ward and Kellie Moore, each with one. In the second game, Dayton came out strong, scoring three...
DAYTON - This year's relatively clear weather didn't hold up for the Waitsburg-Prescott track and field team, leaving students in the cold twice last week. The meet scheduled for Wednesday, March 20 was rescheduled for Friday, March 29 due to inclement weather but the rescheduled meet had an equally cold reception. Head coach Jeff Bartlow said the event was unforgettable and a moment many students will remember for the rest of their lives. During the meet, snow started to fall and during the boys 3200 and the boys and girls 4x400 relays th...
DAYTON - Dayton's small and young track and field team headed to its first event of the season and was greeted by flurries of excitement, snow flurries that is. The meet was originally scheduled for Wednesday, March 20 but had to be rescheduled to Friday, March 22 due to inclement weather. Friday's weather wasn't much warmer, when flurries picked up during the boys 3200 race. The snow caused runners in the boys and girls 4x400 to be nearly invisible as they headed down the back stretch, head coach Dan Nechodom said. "The meet will be memorable...
TOUCHET -- The Waitsburg Prescott girls softball team struggled with consistency in a tough game against the Touchet Indians Tuesday evening, falling 13-3 in five innings. The team started strong, bringing the second batter around for the first run of the game but the girls couldn't keep up with Touchet's tough team. Head coach Angie Potts said the team struggled with consistency during the non- league game. "It makes (the game) a lot harder when you don't play the way you can play," Potts sai...
Basketball, football and baseball fans in the Touchet Valley may be wondering what happened to former Cardinals head basketball coach T.J. Scott. Scott, who stepped down from his part-time coaching and teaching positions in the area last summer, reports he is alive and well in a remote part of southeast Alaska where he just took a team of Tsimshian Indian high school basketball players to the state title game. The Annette Island Chiefs, who hail from a community 15 miles by floatplane or ferry...
TOUCHET -- The Waitsburg Prescott boys baseball team took down the Touchet Indians Tuesday night 10-5 after a tough game with several big hits and close calls. The WP boys opened strong with three runs in the first inning to Touchet's two. In the second inning, neither team scored. In the third, WP brought two runs around, pulling ahead against Touchet's one run in the third. As the score gap widened, play intensified with big hits from both teams to the fence and beyond testing o...
TOUCHET - The Day- ton baseball team struggled and fell against the Touchet Indians, losing 4-1 Tuesday night. The Bulldogs had a fight- ing chance until late in the game when the Indians ran away with the score. The Bulldogs brought their first runner in during the fifth in- ning, tying the score up 1-1. Later, an error in the outfield allowed two runs to come around for the Indians and put the Bulldogs behind. "We made some mistakes there and they turned a single into a home run," head coach S...
PRESCOTT - The Lady Tigers' offense gave rise to hope for the season, but its defense left much to be desired in Tuesday night's face-off against the Weston- McEwen Tigerscots, head coach Angie Potts said. "We hit the ball better," she said in an interview after the game, which WP lost 20-7. "That was definitely a bright spot. But a game like this doesn't build confi- dence." Although it was a non- league matchup against the team from Oregon, Potts said her players are on notice that they have t...

TOUCHET - The Dayton softball team came out on top after a hard-fought game against the Touchet Indians, winning with a final score of 4-2. Dayton opened the first inning with a single from Sarah Phillips. Phillips and second batter Malia Frame were both thrown out on a double play before third batter Jessica Tate was thrown out to end the side's inning. The Indians were able to go through four batters but couldn't get a runner around. In the top of the second inning, cleanup hitter...
PRESCOTT - It took the WP Tigers a few innings to warm up in their Tuesday night game against the hard-hitting Weston McEwen Tigerscots. But when they finally did, there was no stopping their cannon balls and bullet runs, demolishing the visitors 11-5. After being down by as much as 4-0 in the 3rd, the Tigers' ignited in a magical 6th inning, firing on all bats and wielding a home run off a high arcing hit from sophomore Chance Leroue. It landed well beyond the field fence. "When it came off...

PRESCOTT - A chilly March breeze at the Tigers' ball fields wouldn't let spectators shake off their winter blues completely. But in every other respect, Saturday's sun-drenched jamboree was the perfect start of the spring sports season for the Touchet Valley teams, their coaches said. "It was a productive day," said Dustin Snedigar, the WP Tigers' head baseball coach. "We got a good look at a lot of kids. It was a success for everyone." Six baseball and softball teams, including the Dayton B...
DAYTON - Dayton track and field head coach Dan Nechodom isn't training athletes to sprint toward districts in May, he's training students to be athletes for life. Nechodom is new to the high school scope of track and field, but the sport is old hat for the former middle school track and field coach of 16 years. For his relatively young team however, that may not be the case. With only two students returning from last year and one other with previous track and field experience, Nechodom has...
This week's column is going to be a bit of a hodge-podge- which is different from a "sinkhole" like the one that opened up in Florida last weekend. (I'm sure some of you won't see the difference between this column and a sinkhole. And to you I say "harrumph!") I'll start things off with a correction to my last column. You may not believe this, but I do proofread my work. I rewrote that column multiple times and not once-not one time until I saw it on newsprint-did I realize I'd written that t...
WAITSBURG - Waitsburg Prescott track and field head coach Jeff Bartlow might want to apply for the position of UPS driver, because with this year's large turnout of about 40 male and female athletes, logistics will be one of his primary focuses for the 2013 edition of WP track. "It's a great honor to be out again with the kids this year," said the fourth-year head coach and 13-year track and field veteran. "Our boys return enough talent to compete for the district title again. We've won it s...
DAYTON - After a strong season complete with a first round win at playoffs, Dayton's baseball team is a mix of fresh young faces, seasoned talent and no seniors. And by fresh faces, head coach Sal Benevides means really fresh. The four current seniors who would filled out the team last year, decided not to play this year, Benavides said. So he had to pull younger players up to the varsity team to fill out the roster. The 13-student team now includes four eighth graders as well as two ex...
PRESCOTT - Waitsburg Prescott didn't cap the season the way it wished to last year, earning an early exit with losses to Adna and Warden on the opening day of the 2B state softball tournament in Yakima. Thankfully the Tigers will have nearly every starter back, along with fifth-year head coach Angie Potts, for another try at the title trophy. "We didn't have the best showing (at state)," said Potts. "We probably didn't go into it with the best-I don't want to say the attitudes were ba...
PRESCOTT - Waitsburg Prescott coach Dustin Snedigar sails into his fourth season at the helm of the Tiger baseball program with plentiful pitching but little varsity experience on his 2013 roster. Lost from last season's state quarterfinal team are pitcher and shortstop Zach Bartlow, and the entire outfield of Justin Zuger, Chris Manzano, David Herzog, and sub Eric Rosenfeld. Returning, however, are senior starters from last year, Dalton Estes at shortstop and pitching, Tucker Alleman at cat...
The Times DAYTON - The 2013 high school softball season might turn out to be a bit of déjà vu for the Lady Bulldogs and their fans. Many of the same players who proudly took the team's scrappy record- setting game to state in Yakima last year are back, head coach Terry Robbins said. "We have a very good nucleus to build around," he said. "My seniors are my leaders." The 2012 Lady Bulldogs broke almost every record in the school's sports history books: the most runs, at 235; the most dou...
One of my fondest memories of physical education in elementary school was Hoops for Heart day. It was a field day of activities unlike sports - which seemed to me like the choreographed taunting from coordinated classmates. I could actually feel good about participating in the jump-roping, hula-hooping, high-energy festivities. Encouraging children to be active can help inspire beneficial life-long habits. Plus, the annual local program is a lot of fun for students. With hula hoops and...
