A Blast From the Pass
October 30, 2009 by Scott Spruill
Ellensburg’s pitch-and-catch combo has grown into one of the best in the state ||
YAKIMA, Wash. — Sterkel-to-Ferrell used to be a much easier and shorter transaction. Pretty much: Here, you take it.
That’s because while Ethan Sterkel and Kramer Ferrell were growing up to become the prolific quarterback-receiver tandem that has helped the Ellensburg Bulldogs roll to eight straight wins and the Class 2A ranks’ No. 1 state ranking, their roles weren’t precisely the same.
Oh, Sterkel was always the quarterback. But in those days, instead of passing to his year-younger cousin — Kramer’s father and Sterkel’s mother are brother and sister — he was handing off to him.

“He was a very, very, very good running back,” Sterkel says.
In Ferrell’s freshman year, though, the Bulldog coaches moved him to receiver, where — surprisingly, in light of later developments — he wasn’t an overnight success.
“It was a little rough making the switch at first,” recalls Ferrell, who caught just 11 passes all season. “I’d never had to remember route combinations before. Usually running backs just run to a certain hole, and (as a receiver) I always had to ask what I was doing before I would go and do it. I didn’t know the plays exactly.”
Fast-forward two years and the big question regarding Sterkel-to-Ferrell isn’t where, but how — as in how, defensive coordinators wonder, does one stop the state’s most effective passing hook-up?

According to MaxPreps.com, Sterkel leads the state in completion percentage (.821) and his 2,354 passing yards is second only to Heritage (Vancouver) High’s Garrett Grayson, though Grayson has attempted 85 more passes than Sterkel for just seven more yards. Ferrell tops state receivers in both receptions (66) and receiving yards (1,154).
Ferrell’s athleticism makes him a matchup nightmare for any cornerback, because he’s fleet enough to outrun most defenders and strong enough to withstand bump-and-run coverage.
“He’s fast,” Sterkel says of his favorite target. “He’s very fast, and he’s a very strong kid, too. The kid runs around 4.4 (seconds in the 40), benches 270 pounds and he weighs 165 — he’s freakishly strong.”
So, too, is Sterkel. Like Ferrell, he’s a three-sport athlete and that versatility shows. At 6-foot-3 and 210 pounds, Sterkel is a load to bring down, and teams that have tried to unsettle him with blitzes often pay for it when he avoids a sack and then gets to throw into single coverage.
“He’s really good at dodging people,” Ferrell says. “When the pocket’s coming down on him, he runs out of it somehow and breaks five tackles. And he has a really good arm — he throws a good ball when he needs to get it there, with a nice spiral.”
Even when the ball doesn’t get arrive as planned, Ferrell seems to be able to do something with it. Against Selah two weeks ago, he made a remarkable adjustment and diving catch on a pass thrown behind him. At Ephrata last Friday, he snared a twice-tipped ball and turned it into a big gainer.
Ferrell’s presence has an impact even when he’s not the primary receiver. Quincy’s coaches opted to shut him down and force the Bulldogs to beat them a different away. “They always had somebody underneath him, always somebody on top of him and also had deep cover behind him,” coach Randy Affholter says.
So Sterkel looked elsewhere, finding Adam Haberman and Blaze Affholter for a combined nine receptions and 138 yards while completing 17 of his 20 passes. Ferrell had just three catches for 11 yards, but the result was the same — a lopsided Ellensburg victory.
“We’re fine with (double-teaming. It’s about winning games right now. We’re not focused on our stats,” Sterkel says. “It was nice to hit all those guys, get them the ball, because that opens up our running game and makes it easier to block up front. It’s nice to get everybody involved.”
It’s also nice to win, and the Bulldogs are two victories away — at home against Toppenish tonight, at Othello next week — from capturing their first CWAC championship since moving to the Class 2A ranks in 2006. Ellensburg has already clinched its first postseason berth since 2005, and so the Bulldogs will have the chance to pursue the program’s first state championship since 1973.
And they’ll do it while wearing that big No. 1 target on their chests.
“It’s actually kind of nice,” Ferrell says, “because you’re guaranteed to get everybody’s best game. So it really helps you improve and get used to the faster-paced game.”
For opponents, though, there’s just no getting used to dealing with Sterkel-to-Ferrell.
Ike Opens Postseason With Victory
October 30, 2009 by YH-R Sports
YAKIMA, Wash. — With the postseason arriving at its door step Thursday night, Eisenhower’s volleyball team had very simple and direct instructions.
Play smart, play strong.
With the exception of a little cat nap near the end of the third game, the Cadets did exactly that on their home court, making quick work of Walla Walla in a 25-17, 25-19, 25-23 victory to open the CBBN 4A district tournament.

Continuing to show signs of a timely late-season peak, Eisenhower has won six straight matches with 3-0 sweeps and will face fifth-ranked Richland in Saturday’s semifinals at Southridge.
“This week has been about serving and passing well and reducing errors,” said Ike coach Brad Ackerman. “I was looking for us to be smart with the ball tonight and we were.”
With seniors Tori Fisher and Kayla Randles taking turns attacking from the outside, the sixth-seeded Blue Devils could not slow the heavy pace and pressure.
In her final home match of a stellar four-year varsity career, Fisher piled up 16 kills, six digs and two aces. The two aces came back-to-back during a serving run that broke open the first game, and her final kill ended the match.
There were nine lead changes in the final game, and the Cadets trailed 22-20 before Fisher rotated to the front and took over.
Randles put down 15 kills and was especially effective in the second game. Three of Ike’s final five points in that game were scored on her kills.
Junior setter Carrie Johnston collected 29 assists and had 11 digs, and junior Shelby Fitterer had four kills, six digs and helped with a solid blocking effort.
With a regional berth already wrapped up, the Cadets will try to avenge their last loss, a 3-0 setback to Richland, in Saturday’s 10 a.m. semifinal.
“We came out flat and just we’re not mentally prepared,” Ackerman said of the Oct. 6 loss. “We should be much more confident this time. We’re playing well, and they know they can turn it around.”
Eisenhower highlights: Tori Fisher 16 kills, 6 digs, 2 aces; Kayla Randles 15 kills, 6 digs; Carrie Johnston 29 assists, 11 digs; Shelby Fitterer 4 kills, 6 digs, 1.5 blocks.
Thursday’s other first-round scores — Richland d. Kennewick 25-14, 25-18, 25-9; Kamiakin d. Wenatchee 25-20, 17-25, 25-19, 25-23; Southridge d. Eastmont 25-20, 25-15, 25-18.
Saturday’s pairings at Southridge — Semifinals: Richland vs. Eisenhower, 10 a.m.; Kamiakin vs. Southridge, 10 a.m. Loser out: Kennewick vs. Walla Walla, 11:30 a.m.; Wenatchee vs. Eastmont, 11:30 a.m.

CWU Men Picked 3rd by GNAC Coaches
October 30, 2009 by YH-R Sports
ELLENSBURG, Wash. — Central Washington has been picked to finish third in GNAC men’s basketball, according to a preseason poll of the conference’s coaches.
The Wildcats, picked first in each of the previous two polls but unable to win a championship, received one of the nine first-place votes and were ranked behind Seattle Pacific and Western Washington.
The Falcons, 19-10 last season, were picked first for the first time in conference history. They have a new coach, Ryan Looney, who has replaced Jeff Hironaka after Hironaka left to join former Seattle Pacific coach Ken Bone’s staff at Washington State.
SPU and Western each received four first-place votes. Following CWU, in order, were Alaska Anchorage, Montana State Billings, Northwest Nazarene, Alaska Fairbanks, Saint Martin’s and Western Oregon.
Central, 18-7 last season, finished second to Western Washington. The Wildcats have made the playoffs in each of the last two seasons and three of the last four, but have not won in the postseason since 2001.

La Salle Ready to Opt Up Next Year
October 30, 2009 by Scott Spruill
YAKIMA, Wash. — For the highly successful athletic programs at La Salle, it will soon be time to step up. Quite literally.
School officials have recently decided to opt up to Class 1A for the state’s next two-year enrollment cycle, which starts in the fall of 2010.
La Salle’s departure from Class 2B — it has competed at the B level since starting athletics a decade ago — is the first move in what looks like the imminent demise of the four-team Mid-Valley 2B League.
Early indications are that White Swan could be headed back to 1A while Lyle-Wishram may be going down to 1B. These are just projections, mind you. Final enrollment numbers for the next cycle won’t be calculated until December, and then the WIAA will apply its sliding scale of classification percentages.
But the signs are strong enough to have Riverside Christian concerned. If La Salle and White Swan head to the SCAC and Lyle-Wishram rejoins the Greater Columbia League, the Crusaders would be on their own with no welcome mat on the horizon. More on that later.
What is certain is that La Salle is opting up, a move that has unanimous support from its coaches and kids, according to athletic director Jack McMillan.
“We played the positives against the negatives, and after going through everything there were just many more positives,” he explained. “Travel had a lot to do with it, scheduling is another big part of it, and we really believe we can build some good rivalries here in the Valley.”
Basketball scheduling has been especially difficult in the little Mid-Valley 2B with six league dates leaving 14 non-leaguers to fill. La Salle’s football team, like White Swan, has been forced to make long trips to Oroville, Liberty Bell (Twisp), Bridgeport and Manson.
As for the competitiveness of opting up, La Salle has the depth and strength to handle it. In just a decade the school has already stuffed a trophy case with plenty of state hardware. The girls soccer team, after all, just went 11-0 against SCAC teams.
But on the flip side, La Salle does not offer cross country, wrestling or boys soccer and, strong programs or not, the school would have roughly half the student body as other SCAC schools.
La Salle’s enrollment figure for the current cycle was 136 students in the top three grades. The range in the SCAC goes from a low of 197 at Mabton to a high of 387 at Kiona-Benton. The 1A state range is 188 to 467, which will tweak a bit in a new cycle.
“We’re a small school, in all likelihood we’d be the smallest in 1A,” McMillan acknowledged. “That’s a big challenge. We’ve been fortunate to have quite a bit of success at the 2B level and how that translates to 1A, I don’t know.”
What McMillan does know is that his student body embraces the move up.
“They’re excited and looking forward to it,” he said. “It will be a challenge and we’ll have to work that much harder, but the kids are excited about competing at that level.”
Riverside Christian’s future is much less certain. Athletic director Scott Wells is looking at options and will meet with WIAA Executive Director Mike Colbrese next month to discuss them.
The leading choices include joining a nearby 2B league, existing entirely as an independent, or opting up to 1A like La Salle. None of them stand out.
Wells has approached District 6 (North Central) and District 9 (Blue Mountain) before and been turned away, and building an independent schedule would be a major challenge especially with the SCAC expanding.
As for opting up, the Crusaders are much smaller than La Salle (102 in the current enrollment cycle) and they don’t offer football, girls soccer, wrestling, softball or tennis. The school does have boys soccer, but the program would have to move from the fall to spring, which would take athletes away from baseball and track.
“We have talked about (opting up), and there has been a lot of interest because the feeling is we could compete in what we’re doing,” Wells said. “But with only having half the sports, it’s hard to tell how that would work. Plus we don’t have our own baseball field, so facilities would be an issue, too. We have to look into whatever options we can find.”
The 14-team, two-division SCAC has yet to discuss an expansion but the topic will be on the agenda at next month’s conference meeting.
“To me, having La Salle would be a great addition,” said Naches Valley athletic director and baseball coach Bill Walker. “They’re close, and we play them in several sports already. We have a good relationship.”
With La Salle opting up, the SCAC will change. How much remains to be seen.
“There are a lot of questions about what might happen,” Walker said. “If White Swan also comes in, could that change the percentage enough for Mabton to go down? And how would divisions be split? There’s a lot to figure out, and we still don’t know for sure what movement there will be.”
