LETTER FROM THE SPORTS EDITOR What a fall season it continues to be!

I came into town in the first week of September and quickly found out who was who, what was where and how best to celebrate the local teams’ success.

With a Kittitas County autumn under my belt, it’s time to hoop, bowl and wrestle it up as we transition from crisp, clear, sunny autumn afternoons to the dark, rainy, indoor sports days and nights of winter.

But it’s not over for fall sports just yet: The Ellensburg High School volleyball

team is in a state push — its 18th since 1979 — and is the last team going in a term where Bulldogs girls’ soccer, girls’ swimming, cross country and Cle ElumRoslyn girls’ soccer and swimming also made their respective Class 2A and Class 1B/2B tournaments.

Thanks to all of the coaches, athletic directors, parents and residents who have keyed me in on what’s happening around the county.

With a fall season like this, just imagine what will happen this winter.

Managing Editor Mike Gallagher Sports Editor Jake McNeal

Congratulations to all Kittitas County athletes on your accomplished seasons.

FALL FEMALE ATHLETE ALL-STAR

DYLAN PHILIP Senior forward, Ellensburg High girls’ soccer

P

hilip, 5-foot-8 and a Montana State Universitycommitted basketball guard, is too much to handle on the pitch as she scored a new single-season school record

of 43 goals that eviscerated Jordyn Arlt’s previous record of 28 set in 2015.

Philip is a multi-sport star and this winter will take to the court with the EHS

girls basketball team. Philip has already accepted a scholarship basketball at Montana State University.

opponents by an average score of 36-22.

The East No. 2 Coyotes strung together a four-game win streak and nearly reached the Class 2B playoffs for the first time since 2016 after leading West No. 2 River View 21-13 in the second quarter of their 42-21 crossover game loss Nov. 5 in Kittitas.

Kittitas/Thorp did, however, beat visiting cross-country rival Cle Elum-Roslyn for the first time in four tries since 2010, 21-7, with three unanswered touchdowns on Senior Night Oct. 22.

FALL FRESHMAN ATHLETE ALL-STAR

JAMISON PHILIP Forward, Ellensburg High girls’ soccer

f it wasn’t Jamison’s senior sister Dylan scoring, it was very often Jamison leading the charge.

Philip scored a 23rd-minute goal in the middle of the East Valley box to help the Bulldogs (16-3 overall, 11-1 Central Washington Athletic Conference) finish the Red Devils 4-2 in their winner-to-

state CWAC second-place game Nov. 6 in Ellensburg.

She also scored 26th- and 77th-minute goals in the Bulldogs’ 2-0 CWAC semifinal win over East Valley Oct. 28 at the Central Washington University Recreation Sports Complex.
