League outlook Gerry Tinkle said Wilsonville is the team to beat for the boys team title this season, with Milwaukie figuring to give the ’Cats a run for their money. Tinkle thinks the Lions should be in the top half. For the girls, Tinkle expects Sandy to repeat as champs. Where St. Helens factors in depends largely on its many newcomers, Tinkle said.

The St. Helens boys lack experience on the track but make up for that with an abundance of it in the field events. Coach Gerry Tinkle said seniors Nathan Reed (javelin), Jared Bonney (high jump), Nick Dummer (javelin) and Matthew Denakis (shot put) should all fare well, as should junior Corey West in the discus. On the track, the Lions will be led by junior hurdler Thomas Hughes, who Tinkle said should compete for a state berth in both hurdle races. Junior Bryan Strang will be one of the top distance runners in the Northwest Oregon Conference. Senior Jeff Steinke and juniors Tanner Long and Joey Johnston will anchor the sprints. Junior Kylie Reinholdt is the top returner for the girls. She should factor into the state conversation in the triple jump and will also compete in the sprints. Senior Jillian Ross and junior Alyssa Holz are both capable of scoring at the district meet in the jumping events. Seniors Chelsee Rennie, Dana Sukau and Regan Duarte have all shown ability to do well in the throws. Tinkle said other points may come from juniors Alyna Habel in the hurdles and Lucy Kyle-Milward in the pole vault; sophomore Sydney Nett in the sprints; and senior Megan Waite in the distances. He also expects some newcomers to help the team. “We have a lot of rookies that look pretty good,” Tinkle said.

Chalk talk: Jeff Timmons

Versatility will be a virtue for this year’s squad

SHHS Baseball Senior Wyatt Mosley will pitch and play infield for the Lions.

League outlook

Returning All-Stars

Wilsonville and Liberty both return a handful of All League players to the diamond this season. St. Helens coach Jeff Timmons believes those two schools, along with Sandy and Sherwood, will put quality teams on the field in 2013. Timmons also believes his team can figure out a way to break into the top half of the Northwest Oregon Conference. A change in the scheduling this year will make that a more imposing task for the Lions. In the past, NWOC teams played each other three times apiece. Now, in an attempt to be able to schedule more preseason games, teams will face some schools twice and others three times. The split is made geographically. St. Helens will play Sherwood, Wilsonville and Liberty three times apiece; the Lions will face Parkrose, Putnam, Milwaukie and Sandy twice each. The preseason will also be a challenge for the Lions, who play a predominantly 6A nonleague schedule. That will have the team battle-tested when league play opens up.

Head Coach

After coaching the JV team the past few years, Jeff Timmons is now the varsity head coach. That should help stabilize a program that has gone through five head coaches over the past four years. So far he has been pleased with what he’s seen from his players this spring. “Our guys look good. Everybody is pretty solid and can play about anywhere,” Timmons said. The team is young, with nine juniors and seniors out for baseball compared to 21 freshmen and sophomores between the JV and varsity teams. Out of those 30 players, Timmons said there are about 10 quality pitchers who will be split evenly between varsity and JV. Senior Max Mood looks to be the ace of the staff. Timmons said Tyler Stangland and Wyatt Mosley will also see time on the mound in addition to their duties as middle infielders. Bryce Mulcahy made the varsity squad as a freshman, and Timmons said he could play second base, shortstop or pitcher. “He’s pretty solid, he knows how to play,” Timmons said. This team plans to play small ball and move runners from base to base. “We’re going to situational hit, hit behind runners, maybe try to steal a few bases,” Timmons said. He said the team has plenty of speed, especially in the outfield with senior Jake Ramiskey and juniors Brennan Norton and Adam Spencer. Timmons said practices have started nicely. “It’s been a good spring. Attitudes are great and they’re working hard,” he said.

League outlook

With five key components returning from last year’s team that finished second in the NWOC, this year’s St. Helens team isn’t shy about stating its goal: Winning the league title. Jeff Edwards said Sandy will be the biggest roadblock standing between St. Helens and a conference crown. “Sandy is loaded,” Edwards said. After that, Edwards figures Liberty will be one of the most athletic teams in the state. “They’re the second most athletic team in the state,” he said — behind only the Lions. “Our goal is to win league. Barring injuries I think we could be the favorites,” Edwards said. “Time will tell.”

Pitching, speed, offense, defense... you name it, the St. Helens Lions have got it. The only thing missing from this year’s team is an abundance of depth. Despite having only one senior – shortstop and backup pitcher Sue Sass – the Lions have plenty of experience. Sass and five other returners have garnered All-League honors in their career (see list below) and sophomore Courtney Anderson has varsity experience as well. In addition to those seven, coach Jeff Edwards expects a boost from the five varsity newcomers that will round out his roster: sophomore Hailee Fischer, junior Kali Moore and freshmen Ashley Giesbers, Taylor Leal and Kayla Finch. “We’re young, but 11 of our 12 players are ASA players,” Edwards said. “I think we’re gonna hang our hat on our speed. We’re fast.” In addition to their speed, the Lions are strong up the middle. Pitcher Mariah Mulcahy was dominant as a freshman last season. Her batterymate Michelle Sass, also a sophomore, was a second-team All State catcher. Michelle’s older sister Sue and junior Karli Edwards will form one of the league’s top double play combinations if they can stay healthy. Each has suffered a torn ACL in the last two years. Add junior Stevie Strawn into the mix in the outfield, and the Lions have a tremendous core. “Those five really give us a strong returning group,” Edwards said. The hope is that experience will help the Lions make it through a difficult preseason and be ready for a run at an NWOC championship.

Chalk talk: Dave Lawrence The Lion boys have several returning varsity golfers on the team this year and they’re picking up right where they left off. During a recent practice round, six golfers were shooting between 41-45 on nine holes. The top three spots appear to belong to Nathan Hunter, Jacob Roxey and Cody Teyema. There is a tight battle for the other two varsity spots. Michael Hewlett, Eric Aldridge and Toby Carlson were each among the six shooting

Returners are plentiful for the boys and girls teams

Chalk talk: Jen Johnston Four of the top five golfers from last year’s team will be back on the links for the Lions this spring, led by junior McKenzie Schull. Schull finished the 2012 season as the No. 11 golfer in the Northwest Oregon Conference and will look to climb higher on that list this year. Also returning to the squad are junior Shelby Edwards, sophomore Kaitlynn Burbank and sophomore Leah Cave. There are nine golfers on the team total this year, a growth in numbers for coach Jen Johnston. Johnston said newcomer Kiwii Huff, a junior who is golfing for the first time, could help the team as well. The team’s lone home match is set for March 19.

SHHS Golf Senior Nathan Hunter will be among the top golfers in the NWOC.

under 45, and Wyatt Keller is right in the mix as well. That consistency from top to bottom will help St. Helens in the team race. Improving on last year’s fifth-place finish will be a chore, however. “Most of the top teams lost one, maybe two guys. It’s going to be hard to move up,” said St. Helens coach Dave Lawrence. Lawrence said Wilsonville returns the top player in the Northwest Oregon Conference this season.

Chalk talk: Don Courtain

One through four, the St. Helens singles players will be tough, said coach Mike Gregor. The Lions have a ton of depth, with more than a dozen returning players from last year’s team. Many of those players are juniors, Gregor said, which will bode well for next year too. That should help St. Helens move up in the standings, but Gregor said Wilsonville and Sherwood are still the class of the conference.

Early in the season, seniors Caleb Johnstun and Tavin Boynton will battle it out with one another for the No. 1 singles position on the Lions squad. Bonyton’s younger brothers, twins Jarrett and Miles, should make a formidable doubles team as well. “They have good skill for freshmen,” said coach Don Courtain. Courtain said Sherwood is the favorite in the NWOC.

Boys are solid across the board; girls will dominate distance races

Chalk talk: David Harley

League outlook

As is usually the case, a Cowapa League championship is the goal for the Scappoose Indians. And it’s a realistic one yet again. The boys have three members of their state championship 4x400 relay team – juniors Matt Shoun, Mychal Hortert and Justice Oman – back ready to reclaim their crown. They are joined by a solid all-around cast. “I think that our boys will be a very strong team across the board. We will be a very tough team to beat if we stay healthy and work hard,” said coach David Harley. The girls are missing a few athletes Harley expected to be on the team, but still have the pieces in place to improve on last year’s third-place finish. The group of distance runners from the cross country team – which finished fourth in the state – will help make that happen. “We think we can compete for a league championship,” Harley said.

Last year’s Cowapa League Championship meet was dominated by underclassmen. With most of those athletes back for the 2013 season, Scappoose looks to be the favorite for the boys’ league title. The girls’ race figures to be another tight one. Scappoose will dominate the distance events. If the Indians can get past Banks and Y-C in the other events, they will have a good shot.

League outlook

Chalk talk: Robert Medley With a young team, Scappoose coach Robert Medley said the preseason will be used to determine where guys will play this season. “The first five games we’ll probably have five different lineups,” Medley said. “Our goal is once we get back from our Baker trip, we know where we’re at and what the lineup is going to be for the first game.” That means players will have an opportunity to earn a spot in the lineup. “We’ve got a handful of sophomores who will battle for positions,” Medley said. “I’m excited about the effort I’ve seen.” Early on, the Indians will be more concerned with limiting opponents’ runs than

scoring their own runs. “We focus on pitching and defense first, try to get those things going well. Then offensively we’ll do what we do: Try to put the bat on the ball, make things happen,” Medley said. Junior Will Sprute will anchor the pitching staff. Kyle Durvin, Hunter Hoyt, Wade Nelson and Owen Fortney will help provide depth on the mound. Hoyt and Durvin are two of the top returning hitters on this year’s squad. Based on what Medley saw over the summer, he expects Sprute, Anthony Bernal and Robby Backus to be key bats in the lineup as well.

Senior Kyle Durvin will be counted on in the outfield and on the mound this season.

In order to repeat as Cowapa League champions, the Scappoose Indians will need big contributions from some inexperienced players. Scappoose lost a lot of starters from last year’s team, either to graduation or to track and field. Robert Medley said the sophomores waiting in the wings to take those spots have looked young at times but are improving every day. If that improvement continues over the course of the season, Scappoose will find itself in a familiar position – fighting with Astoria for a league title. Only this time, Medley expects a few other teams to be in the mix as well. “For a while it was Astoria and us. I think this year will be a lot more balanced across the league,” Medley said. Banks has plenty of skilled position players returning to the diamond. Tillamook has one of the top starting pitchers in the league. Medley expects Yamhill-Carlton to get a shot of energy from its new head coach. And Astoria will be an all around solid club as usual.

Rather than field questions about his team, first-year head coach Steve Hoglund turned over interview duties to the whole team. And team is the right word to describe this group. “We are bonded as a team more already than we were all of last year,” said junior Lexi Courtney, the team’s top power hitter. She belted seven home runs last year and drove in 23 runs – both team-highs. With Courtney and senior Cassidy Hoglund in the middle of the lineup, the Indians shouldn’t lack for offensive production. Hoglund hit .524 as a junior and had 16 RBIs on her way to earning first-team All State honors. She will be back at shortstop for a final season aiming to equal or improve on those numbers. But they shouldn’t have to score a ton of runs this year, Courtney said. “We have stronger pitching,” she said. Juniors Lacey Updike, Shelbie Butler, Amanda Schlosser, freshman Kendal Bailey and sophomore Elizabeth Scharmann should all see time in the pitching circle. With pitching depth and a pair of devastating power hitters, the Indians should be in good shape. The group is confident there are few weak links on the squad. “Everywhere is solid,” Courtney said. That confidence should go a long way toward helping the Tribe achieve its goal of finishing in the top half of the Cowapa League.

Chalk talk: Steve Hagen Coach Steve Hagen believes his team can not only repeat as Cowapa League champions, but can also lower its titlewinning score. He said this year’s team should have four players shooting in the 80s with one – senior Nick Nguyen – potentially in the 70s. “Nick played junior golf all summer, won a tournament,” Hagen said. Those four he expects to be in the 80s are Alex and Taylor Lukinbeal, Justin Olbrich and Taylor Thomas. That group appears to have the top five spots locked down on the 17-man roster.
