We barely made it to district and lost at Ellensburg,” [...]]]> YAKIMA, Wash. — With every leap forward Toppenish’s boys soccer team has taken this season, Uriel Gonzalez will always remember the first step his Wildcats took that started it all.

“Last year, honestly, we didn’t have a very good season even though we were young. We barely made it to district and lost at Ellensburg,” he recalled. “On the way home the guys were feeling real bad about how the season had gone and I said, ‘Look, it’s up to you how you want next season to go. What will you do?’”

The answer has been an 18-1 record, 17 straight victories and a trip to Spokane on Saturday for the Class 2A state quarter-finals.

“Their work ethic has been off the charts,” said Gonzalez, who directed Top-Hi into the state’s final four in 2007 and 2010. “They made sacrifices, worked hard and stayed positive through it all. I tell them, ‘See how all that work has paid off? That’s why we’re in this position now.’”

That position, to some, would appear quite daunting. The Wildcats will be on the artificial turf at Joe Albi Stadium on Saturday at 1 p.m. to face Cheney, which is 18-0 and ranks 27th in ESPN’s Fab 50 national poll.

“We’re on a great run but the pressure and hype is on Cheney,” said Gonzalez, whose balanced team is led by the 12 goals each from the Lopez boys, Jonathan, Victor and Eric. “We’re just going to play our game and our style and get on that turf and run.”

More on state soccer

While Toppenish takes on Cheney, Davis (13-4-1) will be across town at Central Valley (12-3) for a 4A state quarterfinal that also starts at 1 p.m.

Both teams are defensive-minded. Davis’ Williams Pineda and CV’s Isaiah Van Voorhis are the offensive leaders with nine goals apiece.

This will be Davis’ first quarterfinal appearance and CV’s second.

Also on Saturday, Highland will look to extend its 18-0 season in a 1A quarterfinal against Chelan (15-5) at 1 p.m. Chelan beat Bellevue Christian 5-1 in a first-round match on Wednesday.

Jesus Gutierrez’s hat trick on Tuesday against Okanogan pushed the Highland junior to 31 goals, making him the eighth player in Valley history to top 30 goals in a season.

Player turned coach

Not many teams could survive losing a league MVP and still win a district championship, but Selah’s fastpitch team managed it last weekend.

A big reason, coach Bill Harris insists, is that the Vikings’ fallen standout — senior Mary Michael Graf — is still very much a part of the team.

“Mary’s our team leader, the glue that holds this team together, and even though she’s not on the field she’s become a coach and inspiration,” Harris said.

Graf, a four-year starter who shared last year’s CWAC MVP award with teammate Sierra Weedin, suffered a broken hand in the final league doubleheader on May 3.

The Vikings overcame Othello 11-10 in the district semifinals, then overpowered Ellensburg in the title game to clinch a state berth on their home field next week.

Selah and West Valley-Spokane, both 21-1, have first-round byes in Saturday’s regional tournament in Spokane. Four of the six teams advance to state and Ellensburg (17-5) needs to oust Clarkston to punch its state ticket.

Viks hit academic jackpot

Whenever the seasonal state academic team champions are announced, we do well to snag a couple from the Valley.

Well this spring we picked up four and three are from Selah.

The Vikings earned Class 2A state honors in fastpitch (3.695 grade-point average), boys golf (3.697) and girls track (3.740). That gives Selah four state academic champions for the school year, the volleyball team (3.803) having won the 2A title last fall.

The CWAC swept the golf state titles with Wapato (3.850) topping the 2A girls list.

Ike’s record runs

Eisenhower’s Santos Vargas broke a 23-year-old school record in the 1,600 two weeks ago and hopes to lower his 4:12.20 further. But teammate Drew Schreiber might not let his record last another 23 years.

Schreiber, who broke Ike’s freshman 400 record last year, eclipsed the school’s sophomore 800 record last week with a stunning 1:54.04 run in the CBBN 4A district meet.

“With his speed and cross country background we’re progressing toward the mile next year,” said Ike coach Phil English. “It’s just the tip of the iceberg for Drew.”

Ike’s former sophomore 800 record of 1:55.4 was set in 1994 by Chris Schafer, who went on to run 1:51.28 and win the 1996 AAA state title.

Local state baseball

In addition to the 2A state baseball at Davis, Yakima is hosting regional play in two other classifications on Saturday.

Yakima County Stadium will have two rounds of 3A play with Hazen (15-7) facing Kennewick (18-7) at 10 a.m. and Kamiakin (15-9) taking on Mt. Spokane (17-7) at 1 p.m. The winners play a 4 p.m. quarterfinal.

West Valley will host half of the 1B state tournament starting with two quarterfinal games — Quilcene vs. Oakville at 10 a.m. followed by Almira/Coulee-Hartline vs. Lummi at 1 p.m. The winners play a 4 p.m. semifinal.

]]> http://sportsyakima.com/2012/05/valley-track-leaders-through-516/feed/ 0 It’s official: Lower Yakima opens today http://sportsyakima.com/2012/05/its-official-lower-yakima-opens-today/ http://sportsyakima.com/2012/05/its-official-lower-yakima-opens-today/#comments Wed, 16 May 2012 14:31:27 +0000 Scott Sandsberry http://sportsyakima.com/?p=58796 YAKIMA, Wash. — Regional fishery officials hoping to open the lower portion of the Yakima River to fishing for hatchery spring chinook either Tuesday or today got their wish when the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife announced today’s opening.

Starting this morning (Wednesday, May 16), the lower river is now open for salmon fishing  from the Interstate 182 bridge in Richland to the Grant Avenue bridge in Prosser.

Saturday’s expected opening of the river’s upper portion, from Union Gap to the railroad bridge just below Roza Dam, was also approved by the WDFW’s Olympia headquarters.

Regional fish program manager John Easterbrooks said he expects the lower river to remain open through the end of June, while the upper river would likely be open through July, considering the lateness of this year’s run.

About 5,000 adult hatchery spring chinook are expected to return to the Yakima River.

Daily limit will be two hatchery chinook, identified by a clipped adipose fin. Wild salmon (those with an intact adipose fin) must be released unharmed without ever removing them from the water.

But for anglers waiting not-so-patiently for the slowest and latest spring salmon run on record to get serious, that time finally seems to be coming around.

Wednesday’s count of 18,436 at Bonneville Dam was the fifth-largest daily count in more than 40 years, maybe even going as far back as 1938, according to Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission biologist Stuart Ellis.

And that was just the highlight of a week that has finally started to see the gridlock open up at Bonneville. Through last weekend, there hadn’t been a daily count above 5,000 all spring; then Monday’s count topped 9,000, Tuesday reached 12,000 and then Wednesday’s shot through the roof.

Meanwhile, Prosser Dam had had but a single spring chinook come through all season, and that one was so early — April 5 — that it might have been misidentified. Prosser had 54 springers come through on Tuesday and another 50 on Wednesday, and Thursday’s early count was 33.

Looks like things are finally starting to move. Won’t be long now before the Yakima season gets rolling.

Now if only the river will clear up …

Region champions typically host the four-team competition, in which the titlist is guaranteed an NWAACC Tournament berth and the other three teams play for one tourney spot.
But Columbia Basin, which leads YVCC by two games with two to play, will be unable to host postseason games, according to a Yaks official.
Yakima Valley, which entertains Walla Walla on Saturday for a 1 p.m. doubleheader that will end the regular season, probably needs at least one more win to secure second place and the right to host the playoffs.
The NWAACC Tournament is scheduled for May 24-28 at Longview.

NWAACC East standings: Columbia Basin 19-7, Yakima Valley 17-9, Treasure Valley 16-10, Walla Walla 16-10, Big Bend 13-13, Spokane 10-16, Wenatchee Valley 9-17, Blue Mountain 4-22.
Saturday’s schedule: Walla Walla at Yakima Valley (2), 1 p.m.; Columbia Basin at Spokane (2); Big Bend at Treasure Valley (2); Wenatchee Valley at Blue Mountain (2) (END REGULAR SEASON).

It’s an every-day thing.

This Saturday, though, it will be pretty much an all-day thing at the Toppenish National Wildlife Refuge. Or, at least, from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m.

That’s when the refuge will officially celebrate International Migratory Bird Day, with all kinds of bird-related activities — including a bird banding demonstration, lots of bird watching and a live raptor program, raptors being a bird even non-birders can get excited about.

For the banding demonstration, you’ll have to be there early — it begins at 7 a.m. A bird-watching walk follows at 8, and a program with live owls and hawks will be presented by the Raptor House Rehabilitation Center at 10.

The refuge headquarters will have children’s games and learning materials to keep the kids occupied, and they should also enjoy the event-ending hayride. The event is free and is co-sponsored by the Yakima Valley Audubon Society.

International Migratory Bird Day, held annually on the second Saturday in May, was created to draw attention to the nearly 350 bird species that migrate between their nesting habitats in North America and their non-breeding grounds to the south in Mexico, Central and South America.

The refuge is located at 21 Pumphouse Road, off Highway 97 southwest of Toppenish. For more information, call the Mid-Columbia River National Wildlife Refuge Complex at 509-546-8300.

The Hawks, it seems, got a forfeit win from Wenatchee Valley because the Knights had used an ineligible player. They’d used the same player in games against the Yaks, but YVCC had won those contests.
Yakima Valley and CBC each have four regular-season games left — YVCC with a doubleheader Wednesday at Big Bend and two at home Saturday against Walla Walla, and the Hawks with two at last-place Blue Mountain and two more at Spokane.
Should the Yaks and Hawks remain deadlocked, the first tiebreaker is head-to-head play and the teams split their regular-season series. The second tiebreaker is record versus the third-place finisher — Walla Walla, at this writing — and YVCC has a leg up since it hasn’t lost to the Warriors while CBC has. But of course Yakima Valley and Walla Walla meet twice on Saturday.
If Treasure Valley overtakes the Warriors for the No. 3 spot and YVCC stays tied with CBC, the Hawks would then have the advantage.
The region’s top seed gets the automatic NWAACC Tournament berth and the region’s No. 1 seed in that event May 24-28 at Longview.
Stay tuned.
