Moore resigns as Prosser football coach

PROSSER, Wash. — Tom Moore has found a way to blend the two things he covets most — family and football. But to do so means Prosser must find a new head football coach for the first time in 23 years.

In a move to spend more time watching his sons play at Boise State University, Moore, one of the most successful coaches in state history, resigned from the Mustangs’ head job on Thursday.

“I love coaching here and I don’t want to retire, but I’m a dad before I’m a coach,” Moore said Thursday afternoon. “I still want to coach — I’m addicted to it. But the right thing for me to do now is step down as head coach.”

Moore, who will continue teaching physical education at Prosser High School, is still very much committed to the program he built into a state power and he wants to remain on the staff. He plans to apply for the program’s freshman coaching position.

So here’s how that resume will read:

In 23 seasons, Moore produced an astounding .860 winning percentage with a 234-38 record. Four state championships, four runner-up trophies and 21 league titles.

Under Moore, Prosser’s program became known for its prolific offense with state and national records to its credit, including those set by his sons, Kellen and Kirby. They will now both be a four-hour-plus drive away with home games on Saturday and some weekdays.

After a redshirt season at BSU, Kellen Moore won the starting quarterback job last fall and guided the Broncos to a 12-1 season. He completed 69.4 percent of his passes for 3,486 yards and 25 touchdowns.

And now Kirby Moore, a wide receiver, will join his brother after setting national records for touchdowns in a season and career.

“Last season was pretty stressful trying to do everything,” Tom Moore said. “I missed three (BSU) games, and on this end I missed some film sessions and cut short some things. It’s wrong for the head coach to miss anything. It’s not fair to the players.”

Prosser athletic director and vice principal Casey Gant said the district will open the position next week with May 1 as the target date for having a new head coach in place.

Moore had a staff filled with former players who came through his program, and defensive coordinator Doug Fassler is a longtime assistant. What Moore is hoping for is simply a juggling of job titles.

“It’s like we told the players today, this program has always been about we and us,” he said. “Hopefully what happens is we reorganize a little and keep it going.”

Can a coach of such prominence handle a secondary role in the same program? And would he create an uncomfortable situation for the new head coach, who has the final say in who the freshman coach will be?

Gant isn’t worried about that.

“It would be difficult, like raising a child and then watching somebody else take over,” he said. “But Tom has never been a me-me guy. He would take a lower position because he has a passion for the game and cares very much for the kids and the program.”

Moore’s resignation follows the same move by his best friend Craig Beverlin, who stepped down at Kamiakin earlier this year after 25 seasons. Both are originally from the Midwest, and it was Beverlin who alerted Moore to the Prosser job in 1986.

But while Beverlin is clearly intent on retiring, Moore sees many years ahead even if not as a head coach.

“I’m not leaving and I’m not retiring,” he said. “Football is a year-round thing and I still enjoy that. The fun part are the kids and the practices we have. I enjoy all of that, and I still want to contribute here.”

Gap2Gap soldiers ahead

YAKIMA, Wash. — Like the cyclical nature of any athletic program, any long-running sporting event will have its ebbs and flows. But as Yakima Greenway staffers and volunteers prepare for the 25th annual Gap2Gap, the venerable multi-stage relay race isn’t ebbing — even though money isn’t exactly flowing.

While financial support has dried up somewhat as businesses tighten their belts, the race continues to enjoy a surge in participation that followed, yes, a temporary ebb in numbers.

“We’re working on our third year in a row with increased participation,” said Jeff Brantner, deputy director of the Yakima Greenway Foundation, for which the May 30 race is one of three primary fundraising events, along with Rock The Gap — held the night of the race — and August’s Case of the Blues.

Part of the reason for that growth is that, as the Gap2Gap gets older, its participants are getting younger with new generations of competitors.

The number of competitors in Junior Gap2Gap, which begins after and finishes before the adult event, had peaked at 311 in 2002 before dropping to 220 in 2004. Since then, Now it has been steadily rising, with expectations that numbers will be in the 270s this year.

The adult race, meanwhile, had dropped from its 550 high in the early 1990s to barely 200 by 2002 and 2003, and — like the juniors — slowly risen since.

“We’ve been in an upward trend and we’ll probably go up again this year,” Brantner said. “Last year we had three teams in that early-20s age range, and we hadn’t seen that in a while.”

The junior race is also going for the younger set. For the first time, it will include a division for 6- and 7-year-olds; the younger kids will do shorter versions of the same race stages as the 8- to 10-year-olds, but without the boating portion in the pond. The juniors will benefit from the new “Zirkle Path,” the paved route around the Sarg Hubbard Pond paid for largely by Zirkle Fruit Company and also the Yakima Downtown Rotary. Having the path paved enables the youth in-line skaters to follow an easier-to-follow, easier-to-watch route.

The Greenway Foundation is campaigning to keep the Gap2Gap name in the public eye. The foundation commissioned Studio 99, a West Valley-based video company, to do a DVD documentary on the history of the race; the film has already aired on YPAC, and KYVE plans to broadcast it at 7 p.m. April 10, according to Brantner. Both KAPP and KIMA have said they, too, will carry the documentary, Brantner said, though air times have not been set.

The Gap2Gap, Brantner said, “defines the Greenway. It’s about the outdoor experience and being active. That’s something we want to continue to promote: the fact that it identifies Yakima as an outdoor recreation community. It’s something Yakima needs to support, and we’re trying to position it for the next 25 years.”

It’s safe to say, though, this year’s race won’t be a financial bonanza for the foundation. In the race’s early years, U.S. Bank was a $30,000 sponsor every year, helping boost total revenue near $50,000. Last year’s total revenue was at just over $35,000, and three of last year’s five largest sponsors have told foundation staffers “they can’t do it this year,” Brantner said. Les Schwab and Shields Printing have stayed on as “elite”-level sponsors, though, and 11 of last year’s 12 lesser, “sport”-level sponsors have signed on again.

Brantner said the foundation expects the race to break even or better this year, though not make much of a profit for the Greenway. It wouldn’t be the first time Gap2Gap hasn’t generated a windfall; “three or four years” have basically broken even, Brantner said, adding that as the unsteady economy settles once again, sponsors will likely return to the fold.

The race itself costs around $24,000 to run, Brantner said, with expenses going to such things as use permits, insurance, competitor T-shirts, plaque engraving, course marking (signs and traffic cones) and stage/tent rental. The tent cost is split with Rock the Gap, in which the Greenway partners with the Downtown Kiwanis and splits the profits.

Pleger’s triple guides Yaks to victory

YAKIMA, Wash. — Seth Pleger’s three-run triple in the bottom of the seventh inning lifted Yakima Valley to a 5-3 win over Blue Mountain on Thursday and a split of its Eastern Region-opening doubleheader at Parker Field.
