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...
WALLA WALLA - The Lady Cardinals walked on to the Irish courts tied with the rival team 3-0 in the league Friday night. When WP walked away, they left with their heads held high as they took the lead 45-34 and now stand 4-0 in the league. "Any time you come down to DeSales and win a game, it is a big accomplishment," head coach Jerry Baker said. "Any time you play DeSales it is always going to be a battle." Baker knew what he was talking about after the game Friday night. "DeSales gave us the...
DAYTON - The Lady Bulldogs may have lost against Liberty Christian Saturday, but they now know they can win games because they did so twice in a row: against WWVA 41-37 on Thursday and against Lacrosse Washtucna during the holiday tournament. "I know we can play with any of them," head coach Scott Hudson said after Thursday's game against the Knights. "It wasn't pretty, but it was a win." For the men, the picture is different. They're a skilled team, know how to stay in the game despite some...
SEATTLE - You may have missed it over the holidays. But almost three weeks after the football season ended, the 2010 Waitsburg-Prescott team reeled in more recordsetting recognition for their historical performance during the season. One Dayton Bulldog, Colton Bickelhaupt, also received statewide recognition for his efforts on a team that made it to the first round of the playoffs. Sports writers across the state voted to include six Cardinals in the Washington All- State poll, with two winning...
WAITSBURG - Both Cardinals basketball teams succeeded this year where they failed last year. They beat top-ranked Asotin Friday and remained undefeated in the league this far into the season. They continued their winning streaks Saturday by trouncing the Mac-Hi Pioneers. The biggest test and first real challenge for the Lady Cardinals came at the start of the weekend against league rival Asotin. They edged out the Panthers 52-50 in a cliff hanger of a game that could have easily gone either...

DAYTON - Dayton's boys' basketball team came out well (though not in perfect condition) in its two nonleague games last week. The Bulldogs sparred against Lacrosse-Washtucna and Kiona-Benton Wednesday and Thursday at home in the team's annual Christmas Tournament. Against the Lacrosse- Washtucna Tigercats, on Dec. 29, the Bulldogs came out ahead. The final score against this 2B sports combine was 53-43.

DAYTON - The Lady Bulldogs received a hardwon gift over the holidays at the annual Christmas Tournament in Dayton - their first win of the season. Playing Wednesday, Dec. 29, against the 2B sports combine Lacrosse-Washtucna, the Bulldogs dominated on the board. Dayton stole the evening with a 45-28 win against the Tigercats. "We had everyone back (on the squad) for the first time all season," an excited head coach Scott Hudson said. "We did not shoot well at all, and we need to improve. We did,...
TOUCHET - The Waitsburg Prescott boys started 2011 with a win against the Touchet Indians at their home court Tuesday night. "Touchet was a scrappy team," WP head coach TJ Scott said. "They caused us to fall back in the game." The Cardinals beat Touchet 52-30, making the boys varsity team 6-1 for the season. "Matthew Hamilton and Zach Bartlow both played great games," Scott said. "They helped keep us on top. Bartlow and Hamilton extended the fourth quarter that resulted in a pretty easy win."...
TOUCHET - Waitsburg Prescott's Lady Cardinals are staying on the ball with their fourth win in a row after defeating the Touchet Indians Tuesday night. The girls are now 6-0. The Cardinals walked into the Indian's home court with their heads held high and left the same way. After a long game, the Lady Cardinals won 47-25. "It was a good win," WP head coach Jerry Baker said. "The defense was a little sloppy due to lack of practice, but the girls put forth great effort." Alyssa Hafen was one...
