WALLA WALLA - A field shot from Bulldog Garett Turner circled the hoop and spun out instead of going in. Minutes later, on the other side of the court, Cardinal Matt Hamilton battled for the ball time and again until he finally had the rebound. His efforts, among others, won him applause when he was subbed at the end of the game. In the end, it was a mixture of luck and a margin of superiority that gave WP its district tournament win over Dayton Friday. But the Bulldogs, who were on fire from...

RICHLAND - The Lady Bulldogs achieved basketball league play-ins this week but were defeated by Liberty Christian 58-41 in a loser-out game Monday. Players and head coach Scott Hudson remained proud of their season, however. The young women started the year slowly but hit some exciting highs before it was over, Hudson said. "We played some really good games this year, we really did," he said Tuesday. The ladies, with several key players out from day one with injuries and illness, struggled in...
WAITSBURG - Al - though the WP men's team technically didn't have a perfect season, it was only two points short of it thanks to a loss at the hands of Weston McEwen in the first game of the season when the players just came off their very long and emotional football season. The Cardinals ended their regular season with a 79-68 victory over Liberty Christian Saturday and face Walla Walla Valley Academy on Kison Court at 6 p.m. Wednesday night. If they win, they will face the winner of the game...
WAITSBURG - Having already logged a perfect season, the Lady Cardinals Tuesday extended their historic winning streak with a 57-29 win over Liberty Christian. The women now go into the district championship game against DeSales at Whitman College on Friday. "DeSales is the toughest opponent of the season," head coach Jerry Baker said after the game against the Patriots. "It's a lot harder to beat them three times than it is to beat them twice." But running over league teams repeatedly like a...
WALLA WALLA - If there were ever a team that deserved to place third in the league and play tough, second-ranked Asotin in the Panthers' own den Wednesday, it's the Dayton Bulldogs men's team. They pulled out all the stops in a convincing 65-40 tie-breaker win over the Liberty Christian Patriots at the DeSales gym in Walla Walla Monday, leaving little doubt they have it in them to prevail over the talented and experienced Asotin players. "That was a good one," senior Bulldog Dain Henderson...
DAYTON - The Bulldogs were victorious against the bigger Liberty Christian Patriots on Friday night in Dayton, defeating the visiting men's team 50-47. The Lady Bul ldogs fought hard but lost to their female counterparts 63-54. The extra-tall men's team from Liberty Christian had three big-time scorers, including 5-foot-9 sophomore Mike Olson with 12 points, 5-foot-9 junior Jake Stiefken with 19 points and 6-foot-5 senior Bryon Korrigan with 14 points. Senior Travis Sitton, at 6-foot-3, was the...
WAITSBURG - Head football coach Jeff Bartlow is now also WP's head track and field coach. Bartlow, who has been on the track and field staff as an assistant coach for a decade, was hired at the last meeting of the Waitsburg Prescott sports combine last week. He replaces longtime track and field coach Ron Huntington, who retired after the last season. "He's our best fit for the job," Prescott High School Athletics Director Jack Smiley said. "He'll do great because he is dedicated and organized."...
CHEWELA, WA - The Fast Blast at 49 Degrees North is always a special event for skiers in the Emerald Empire Youth Ski League as it is the only speed event of the season, offering athletes 11 years and older the opportunity to compete in a Super Giant Slalom following a day of speed training on Friday and a single practice run before a timed run Saturday. The Bluewood Alpine Race Team (BART) fielded twelve athletes for the weekend, including the first-ever competition for the newest and youngest...
WAITSBURG - Until Cardinals announcer Fred Hamann spoke the words, it hadn't quite sunk in for the players and hometown crowd on Kison Court after the final buzzer sounded. With their wins over the Irish Saturday night, both varsity teams are now guaranteed the top spot in the league, with their first playoff game at home Feb. Xx. "And with that win, the Waitsburg-Prescott Cardinals are now league champions," Hamann said as the crowd broke into a prolonged cheer. The Cardinals men's team beat De...
DAYTON - The Bulldogs were cautiously optimistic Friday evening after defeating both Walla Walla Valley Academy teams on Thursday - including a much-needed victory for the Lady Bulldogs - but their high spirits weren't enough to earn them a win against the tough Asotin Panthers. Though Dayton's young men and women went head to head on their own court against Asotin, the Panthers were victorious on both counts, at 50-64 against the men and 51-63 against the ladies. In the men's match, the...
ASOTIN - It wasn't until the final buzzer of the men's game sounded that WP players and a big contingent of fans knew for sure the Cardinals had passed one of the biggest tests of the season: beating the Panthers in their own den. It was neither easy nor particularly pretty, especially in the end. The physical game reflected both rivals' appetite to win with composure and smart ball handling, giving the Cardinals just enough of an advantage. With 45 seconds to go and both teams fouling like it...
WAITSBURG - Saying they support Waitsburg's youths but couldn't see the viability of Tawnya and Greg McVey's BMX track concept, the city's council voted for a second time to deny the use of up to five acres of city land for the project last Wednesday. "I don't think it's fiscally responsible for this council," Councilman Orville Branson said . After a relatively short public hearing at which a handful of local residents (including Tawnya McVey) and a Walla Walla man formerly associated with the track there spoke about the pros and cons of the...
SPOKANE - The WOO Crew, an area Snowboard and Ski Cross team, took top honors at the Inland Northwest United States of America Snowboard Association race, led by veteran Sarah Kohler, 22, at Mt. Spokane last Saturday. Ski Cross and Border Cross debuted at the XXI Olympic Winter games in Vancouver, Canada, last February. Skiers compete against skiers and snowboarders compete against other snowboarders, only. The course (for both groups) is a series of gates, including jumps, banked turns, steps,...
DAYTON - The Tri-Cities Prep Jaguars proved no match for the Bulldogs Friday night as both of Dayton's men's and women's teams took top score in league match-ups. The Lady Bulldogs were triumphant after winning their second game of the season. "We needed a league win really bad," said junior Nicole Lambert, top scorer of the night with 17 points against the Jaguars. The Lady Bulldogs out matched TCP 46-32. The ladies got a quick jump on TCP. By the end of the second quarter, the Lady Bull- dogs...
WAITSBURG - The Cardinals were already looking ahead to Saturday's tough away game against Asotin. But first there were the Touchet Indians Tuesday night, by now a mere bump in the road to one of the two teams' best-ever basketball seasons. The Lady Cardinals demolished the Touchet team 53-18 with many younger Cardinals taking part in the victory against the Indians, who struggled from the getgo. The score was 27-8 at half time and 42-14 by the end of the third when Samantha Moss, Katie Hofer,...
WAITSBURG - Neither Cardinals basketball team had much trouble with the Liberty Christian Patriots, beating them handily at Kison Court Friday night. But the wins had their significance since they marked the end of the first round of league match ups with WP still undefeated in the league. The Lady Cardinal s topped the Patriots 64-34. The points spread was already large enough during the first half to allow head coach Jerry Baker to bring out some of his younger players. "That was our best...
The three brave ladies from Waitsburg did it. From left to right in the foreground (first shot), plungers Joanna Lanning, Patty Hazelwood and Vickie Hamann take the jump into the 38-degree water of the Columbia River with $1,000 in pledges for the Special Olympics of Washington at stake. About 300 undaunted souls from southeast Washington participated in the event Saturday and raised $77,000 for the cause. Sooner or later, recruiting will begin for 2012. But what are you waiting for? Sign up...
WAITSBURG - The Cardinals Booster Club needs to raise at least $19,000 if it wants to break ground for a new press box and equipment storage building in late spring, according to members of the Waits- burg sports community. But the good news is that they have a plan for their goal and support seems to be building in the rest of the community. The proposal is already backed by the Waitsburg Booster Club, the WP Quarterback Club and the Waitsburg Lions Club. A group of coaches, boosters and fans...
DAYTON - The big question in the Touchet Valley this weekend: Could the Bulldogs trip up the Cardinals' unbroken winning streak in round two of league match-ups? Try as it might, Dayton was unable to take away either WP varsity team's undefeated status. Both Bulldogs teams succumbed to a stronger WP combine that has dominated the league since the start of the season. In a closer game than their first encounter at Waitsburg, the Lady Bulldogs lost to the Lady Cardinals 58-37 on their home court....
SANDPOINT, ID - Hosted by Schweitzer Mountain Resort , the Chad Engstrom Memorial Race is traditionally the first race of the season for the Emerald Empire Youth Ski League (EEYSL). The Bluewood Alpine Race Team (BART) is one of seven EEYSL member teams and fielded 12 athletes at this year's event, which featured Giant Slalom races both Saturday, January 8, and Sunday, January 9. Despite being a small part of the total of 152 rac- ers competing, BART skiers finished well enough to set the team solidly in the middle of the team standings. The...
WALLA WALLA - The Waitsburg-Prescott Cardinals and DeSales went head to head in a tough league game Saturday in Walla Walla. When it was all said and done, the Cardinals came out on top with a close win of 62-51. WP now stands 4-0 in 2B League boys' basketball action. "In the first half of the game we were a little stagnant on the offensive side, but we played a very solid first half defensively," said head coach T.J. Scott. The Cards were able to create an eight-point lead by disrupting the...
DAYTON - The Dayton Bulldogs took DeSales into overtime on Saturday and then slammed home a victory, beating this tough team 52-44 in the last four minutes of the game. DeSales, a league team who beat Dayton twice last year, gave the Bulldogs a run for their money. Dayton's free throws weren't getting in the basket, and DeSales advanced on the Bulldogs in the third quarter, gaining a seven-point lead. Dayton struggled to get back in the game. With just 20 seconds left on the clock, junior...
