Prep roundup: Anderson lifts Selah
January 27, 2011 by YH-R Sports
KENNEWICK, Wash. — The perfect effort on the perfect day — that’s what Selah’s girls bowling team pulled off on Wednesday.
The Vikings, the third-place squad during the regular season, knocked off favorites Kennewick and West Valley to capture the Class 3A-2A district title and lone state berth at SpareTime Lanes.
Selah senior Ashley Anderson led the way by winning the individual title with a 584 series. Her second and third games of 208 and 209 were the highest of the day in both the 3A-2A and 4A tournaments.
The Vikings seized the lead in the second of three regular games and held it all the way through seven Baker contests. Selah’s final Baker score was a tournament-best 234.
“I told the girls to just relax and have fun and they just took off,” said Selah coach William Foster. “I got a little nervous toward the end of the Baker games, but the girls never let up. It’s our first district title and they couldn’t be more excited.”
Selah finished with a 3,775 pin total, 139 ahead of runner-up West Valley. Junior Miki Campbell placed third to qualify for state as an individual for West Valley.
Moses Lake won the 4A district title with Wenatchee earning a state berth in second place.
Eisenhower qualified three individuals for state — junior Sarah Cawthron, senior Courtnee Alvarez and sophomore Megan Wells.
The state tournaments will be held Feb. 4-5 at Tacoma’s Narrows Plaza Bowl.

CWU men No. 2 in West
January 27, 2011 by YH-R Sports
YAKIMA, Wash. — Central Washington has been listed second in the inaugural NCAA Division II West Region rankings, which were released Wednesday.
The Wildcats, 15-2 and riding a six-game winning streak, are off to the program’s best start since 1978-79. They trailed only Cal State Dominguez Hills in the regional top 10.
While champions of the GNAC, PacWest and California Collegiate Athletic Association automatically qualify for the regional tournament, the final regional poll determines the other five participants. The GNAC and CCAA determine their champions with postseason tournaments.
Alaska Anchorage, which CWU visits Saturday night, is ranked fourth in the region while Seattle Pacific is fifth.
Also Wednesday, the Wildcats moved up two spots to 14th in the national coaches poll.
Central visits Alaska Fairbanks tonight.

Douglas joins women’s 300 club
January 26, 2011 by YH-R Sports
YAKIMA, Wash. — Makayla Douglas joined an exclusive club this past weekend when she became just the third female bowler from Yakima to roll a sanctioned 300 game.
Douglas, a West Valley High sophomore, started play in Saturday’s Junior Stars League at Nob Hill Bowl with her 300 game, the start of a 725 series that included games of 213 and 212. That series raised her season average to a league-best 208.
Douglas joins Janice Chouinard and Katie Walker as the only women with perfect games in Yakima, with Chouinard accomplishing that feat twice.
One of the top junior bowlers in the nation, Douglas, 15, moved to Yakima from Portland last fall to train with Jim Kent, who co-owns Nob Hill Bowl, and his son Marshall, who himself is one of the nation’s top junior bowlers.
“She’s just a talent,” the elder Kent said of Douglas, who is a member of the Junior USA B Team (age 15 and under). “I’ve watched her bowl for three or four years … and she’s head and shoulders above kids even three or four years older. She’s very strong and mature for her age.
“She has a perfect disposition for bowling. She’s competitive but really keeps an even keel.”
Chouinard rolled her first 300 on Nov. 9, 1997 under her maiden name of Cluff, and rolled her second one on Oct. 7, 2001. Walker’s perfect game came a mere two days after Chouinard’s first.

NASCAR simplifies its season points system
January 26, 2011 by The Associated Press
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — NASCAR is replacing the complicated scoring system it has used since 1975 with a more straightforward format.
None of the changes for the 2011 season announced by chairman Brian France at the NASCAR Hall of Fame on Wednesday came as much of a surprise. NASCAR officials had been briefing teams for almost two weeks on the changes in an effort to give competitors feedback on the direction being taken.
A race winner will receive 43 points under the new system, and the points will decrease down to 1 for the 43rd-place driver. There will be three bonus points for the winner, one bonus point for every driver who leads a lap, and one bonus point to the driver that leads the most laps.
The maximum points available now will be 48.
“Now everyone will know, when a driver is down by 10 points, that he needs to pass 11 more cars to take the lead in the point standings,” France said. “We (had) a point system that’s hard to describe for ourselves. We just thought this was the perfect time … (to) simplify it so people can follow.”
NASCAR also tweaked the eligibility requirements for the 12-driver Chase for the Sprint Cup championship field.
The top 10 in points after the 26th race of the season will make the Chase field, while the final two spots will be “wild cards” designated for the highest race winners not already eligible. The wild cards will only go to drivers ranked inside the top-20 in points.
If no driver outside the top 10 has any victories, the spots will go to the drivers ranked 11th and 12th in the standings.
Adding the wild card was designed to reward winning, which two-time champion Tony Stewart, the only driver in attendance at the announcement, applauded.
“I think that’s a twist that really makes sense,” Stewart said.
But what didn’t make sense to many, teams and fans alike, was why NASCAR felt the points system was its biggest problem heading into the new season.
NASCAR is stuck in a steady decline in both attendance and television ratings, and not even last year’s Chase — the closest since the championship-deciding format was introduced in 2004 — seemed to ignite the dwindling interest.
Although NASCAR made numerous changes last season that dramatically improved competition, fans still found reasons to gripe. And for the three days leading into France’s big news, drivers and team owners took their turn weighing in on issues NASCAR needs to address.
“I absolutely think the races ought to be shorter, and I think the season ought to be shorter,” said Rick Hendrick, NASCAR’s winningest team owner. “It’s just so long. If it we had three more months off, I think the fans would be more eager to get back and watch it.”
David Hill, chairman of Fox Sports, called on NASCAR to shorten its races so that they fit into a 3-hour broadcast window. Hill argued there’s far too many distractions for fans to sit and watch races that stretch four-plus hours.
Dale Earnhardt Jr., NASCAR’s most popular driver, called the refusal to shorten races at tracks such as Pocono Raceway, which at 500 miles has long been considered by drivers to be 100 miles too long, “this huge pink elephant nobody wants to talk about.”
But he speculated that promises made with handshakes long ago had given many tracks lifetime agreements to host two 500-mile races a year. And the monetary issues, Earnhardt said, made it impossible to shorten a 38-race season that runs from February to November.
“I think that the financial rewards from having the season as it is are too great,” Earnhardt said. “It’s almost as if each race is a limb that you can’t amputate. It’s too big a deal to shorten the season. There’s tons of money involved and tons of livelihoods involved, and people’s careers.
“I don’t believe we’ll ever see a shorter season. I think in my lifetime we’ll see shorter races across the board at 85 percent of the events, but never a shorter season.”
Only France bristled at the notion that there are larger issues confronting NASCAR than a need to simplify the points system.
“There’s a positive start to the season,” he quipped. “Look, we’re very satisfied with the most important thing: the level of competition. Obviously, we want to be trending up, not down. And television ratings … we want to see a lot of things with attendance improve.
“We’re 63-years-old. Every sport is going to have periods where, for lots of reasons, you’re in a peak or a valley. We’re going to have moments where you can select something that’s not going well. That’s fine. But we are on our course to deliver the most exciting racing in the world, and we’re going to get there.”
NASCAR president Mike Helton insisted the sport’s leadership is hard at work addressing the sport’s problems, even if no solutions were offered Wednesday night.
“Everything we do is to make the sport better for the entire community. Everything we don’t do doesn’t mean we’re never going to,” Helton said. “We know we have issues to address. I promise you, we haven’t spent the last 365 days just working on these topics that we announced. There’s a lot of moving parts and pieces that we deal with every day.”
Finding football gems on a basketball court
January 26, 2011 by Roger Underwood
Blaine Bennett was headed to a high school basketball game the other night, which wasn’t a surprise since his son, Matt, is a sophomore guard on the Ellensburg varsity.
“The Bulldogs aren’t playing,” Bennett said via cellphone. “In fact, I’m not even in Ellensburg. I’m over on the other side of the mountains and there’s a young man playing tonight that we’re recruiting.”
Of course Bennett couldn’t tell me who he was recruiting. He chose to not even tell me which school he was at, which was fine. You don’t want to violate the letter or spirit of NCAA rules, after all.
But Bennett’s presence at a prep basketball game reminded me of a hoops contest I covered in 1981 between Timberline and Capital high schools in Olympia.
On entering the Capital gym, I noticed a smiling Don James sitting a few rows behind the scorer’s table.
“Changing jobs, Don?” I asked, recalling that he’d coached high school basketball after finishing his football career at the University of Miami.
“Not this year,” he said. “Just came down to look at a player.”
I knew James couldn’t tell me which one, and I honestly had no idea who the prospective recruit was.
There was, however, a 6-foot-4 star on Timberline’s roster who had helped the Blazers to the Class 3A state championship the season prior. He’d also played football, but wasn’t especially well known because he’d been hurt, and also because his team hadn’t won many games.
On signing day of that year, when James was permitted to publicly discuss his signees, he said, “We think this kid could become another Too Tall Jones.”
And while Ron Holmes didn’t attain that status at defensive tackle, he did become a three-year letterman at Washington and, as a prominent member of the 1984 Purple Reign defense, was named defensive MVP of the Jan. 1, 1985 Orange Bowl in which the Huskies beat Oklahoma, 28-17. He also was a first-round NFL draft choice in 1985 and played professionally for eight seasons — four each at Tampa Bay and Denver.
The Huskies back then were extremely effective at finding Division I-caliber athletes, determining the proper position for them, then coaching them to their potential.
Now that Washington is emerging from the dark ages of Rick Neuheisel, Keith Gilbertson and Tyrone Willingham, maybe the program is headed back in that direction.
FROM THE QUOTE FILE
“We tell recruits that if they want to play in the NFL, we can make you as good a football player at Washington as any school in the country.”

YAKIMA, Wash. — Toppenish’s Ricardo Gutierrez was last week’s winner of the Grill the Readers trivia competition on sportsyakima.com, sponsored by The Second Street Grill in downtown Yakima.
Gutierrez correctly answered Zillah as the last Yakima Valley school to win a state wrestling team championship.
This week’s question: How many wrestlers have won four Washington state championships? Hint: It’s less than 10.
