Hoops Madness vs. LR

Were you there when the now-famous three-point-shot that wasn’t went in? Confused? If so, you missed the game of the year, when our boys beat Lake Roosevelt on Senior Night on a controversial call at the end of the game. The win sealed a regular season league championship for the boys, and seeded them into the district tournament. Unfortunately, their successful season came to an unexpected end last weekend when Brewster beat them in a winner-to-state game at Regionals. But nothing can take away the memories they gave us. Congratulations to Joey Harris, who was named Most Outstanding Player in the CTL this year, and thanks for the memories, guys!

If It’s March, We Must Be In Yakima

The Lady Goats stormed through Regionals with back-to-back wins last weekend to earn a trip to the state tournament for the eighth straight year. After a early loss to the Lakeside Eagles, the girls came back to beat Okanogan for the fourth time this year 56-41, behind the hot shooting of Kelli Bowers, who netted 19 points and hit five from beyond the arc. They followed that win with a vistory over Lake Roosevelt, 60-46, behind Alisha Love’s 14, to clinch a spot at state. The Lady Goats open state play at 9:00 tomorrow morning against Columbia. Depending on the outcome, they will either play Thursday at 4:00 pm or 9:00 am. For the season, the Lady Goats enter the state tournament with an overall record of 19-6. Good luck ladies!!

Congratulations to Alisha Love for scoring her career high

W when the Lady Goats rolled over the Cascade Kodiaks on January 29th. The final score was Chelan 73 – Cascade 39. Alisha led all
scorers that night when she poured in 31 points, setting a
career high. Her previous high had been 28, set just a week
earlier against Omak. In recognition of the outstanding season she had, Alisha was named to the First Team All League team. But points aren’t all that define this player. Others will take note of the rest of Alisha’s stat line on this special night. She also had 9 rebounds, 6 steals and 4 assists.

Congratulations Alisha!

Wrestling Makes History

After going undefeated in 2007, Chelan wrestlers made history in 2008 by going
undefeated once again, and winning the District championship for the first time since 1968. After a great showing at Regionals, nine of our wrestlers - Tyson McGuffin, Davey Anderson, Dillon Parker, Gage Schmidt, Sean Gervais, Jose Garcia, Hank
Burton, Tyler Allen and Jesse Allen - headed down to the
Tacoma Dome to compete in the WIAA Mat Classic XX. There were sixteen wrestlers in each weight division, but only the top eight place and stand on the podium and receive a shiny medal.
“We brought nine and seven medaled despite a poor second round where seven lost their matches,” said Coach McGuffin, who was recognized as the CTL Coach of the Year. Tyler Allen and Sean Gervais placed 8th, Jose Garcia and Davey Anderson placed 7th, Tyson McGuffin, Jesse Allen, and Gage Schmidt placed 4th. Overall the team placed 7th in state. Great Job!
