Candidate-filing week sets up state races

By Christina Corrales-Toy ccorrales-toy@ sammamishreview.com

The field is set for the upcoming election.

Candidate-filing week came to a close on May 20, setting the stage for federal and state races to come. Offices that have more than two candidates will be whittled down to two in the Aug. 2 primary. The general election is Nov. 8.

43rd Legislative District Sammamish Deputy Mayor Ramiro Valderrama, a Republican, filed to challenge incumbent state Rep. Roger Goodman, D-Kirkland.

Goodman has held the seat since 2007. If elected, Valderrama has said he would keep his Sammamish City

Council seat.

In the district’s only other race, Rep. Larry Springer, D-Kirkland, is running unopposed to retain his seat.

41st Legislative District Three candidates filed for the 41st Legislative District Senate seat, including incumbent Sen. Steve Litzow, R-Mercer Island. He was twice elected to the Mercer Island City Council before winning his current seat in 2010.

Fellow Islander Lisa Wellman also filed for the spot. Wellman, a Democrat, describes herself as an educator turned CEO. She currently manages a software development company and serves on the state Public Works Board.

Bellevue resident Bryan Simonson, the seat’s third

challenger, said he finally committed to the Libertarian cause during Ron Paul’s presidential campaign in 2012. He currently works at carrentals.com, a subsidiary of Expedia.

Incumbent Rep. Tana Senn is seeking re-election to her Position 1 House seat. The Mercer Island Democrat was first appointed to her post in 2013 and subsequently elected in 2014. Before serving as a legislator, Senn was on the Mercer Island City Council.

Mick Plath displays his collection of Hollywood memorabilia that sits in a total of 162 boxes on four pallets.

By David Hayes dhayes@ sammamishreview.com Mick Plath is sitting on a gold mine.

In a day and age where so much is mass-produced and disposable, Plath has been tasked, as the president and CEO of USArchive, of cataloging a collection of untold value that nearly was thrown in a dumpster.

Standing next to four pallets of 162 boxes, with another dozen or so still on their way from the East Coast, Plath explained the contents.

Between the years of 1959 and 2001, a file was created for

“The archive itself is a gold mine of American TV celebrities, actors, musicians, singers, musical groups, sports stars, politicians, authors, producers, directors, news anchors and announcers,” Plath explained.

Gov. Jay Inslee recently appointed him to the state’s Independent Living Council. Ritchie previously challenged Rep. Dave Reichert for the 8th Congressional District.

Three candidates filed to run for Magendanz’s current seat. Snoqualmie Mayor Matt Larson makes a bid for the state Legislature after serving 10 years as the city’s mayor. The

Democrat was previously on Snoqualmie’s Parks Board, Planning Commission and City Council.

Democrat Darcy Burner also filed for the seat. In the past, she’s campaigned for Congress in the 8th District and 1st District.

From Page 1

Plath’s involvement started with one file — Jackie Gleason. About 7-8 years ago, he was approached by an individual interested in digitizing an archive.

He brought with him a Jackie Gleason folder.

The idea was to employ somebody here — Plath lives in Sammamish and runs his business out of Kirkland — to go to the Vonetes home in Virginia, using laptops and external hard drives to get it done.

“That file sat on my desk for several months and nothing happened,” Plath said. “I contacted the owner, Dean, who I didn’t know at the time, and developed a relationship.”

The more they talked about it, the more Plath learned what was at stake.

But again, the idea died for a while. Two years went by. Plath eventually got back to Dean about the Jackie Gleason file, feeling guilty he hadn’t done anything with it.

Plath was able to divert a gaffe of historical ramifications.

“He was in the process of literally throwing away materials that were in these files,” Plath said.

“He had a dumpster in front of his house. He had to get the archive out because was moving.

“Through that conversation I said, ‘Stop!

From that point, Plath became Dean’s agent for doing something with the archive.

He approached many people in many different areas, but they always wanted a more detailed inventory.

He even talked with officials at the University

Luckily, the AtWork crew will be under no time crunch to scan and digitize the collection, and the digitizing will take the longest. Plath figures once they finish, the next step is to figure out the value of what they’re sitting on.

“Our initial interest was to sell the collection to an interested party who has the means and desire to preserve its history for public sharing, research and education,” he said. “We feel that an interactive museum would be a perfect setting for this slice of American television history.”

The articles written for Press Features & Advertising were everything needed for positive stories for newspapers.

“No soap-opera-type stuff, or crazy copy,” Plath said.

The boxes marked “bio” contain roughly 200 files each from just a section of one letter of the alphabet. To demonstrate, Plath opened a random box from the C’s.

Plath said a lot of the information is available online. With the internet, you can go anywhere and find pictures and information of just about anybody. But where can you find it all in one place?

As remarkable as all the biographical detail is, Plath figures the real value lies in the audiotapes containing interviews Polly Voletes conducted with the celebrities. “Listen to tapes by Polly,” Plath said.

“It’s amazing how she approaches celebrities.

SAMMAMISH REVIEW

On Further Review

Coaches deserve more respect than they’re getting

D

uring my free time last weekend, I was browsing social media sites when an article about youth coaching caught my eye.

The author’s argument – that today’s children and parents don’t respect coaches as much as they used to – was well-founded. During my 14 years as a journalist, most of them directly involved with high-school athletics, I’ve caught quite a few whiffs of situations that stink to high heaven.

What made the article more poignant is who linked me to it – a coach I worked with at a previous job, whose contract (at his alma mater, of all places) wasn’t renewed after 15 years on the job.

Look, I understand that high-school coaches typically work under oneyear contracts and, especially in states like Washington with at-will employment laws, there’s simply no guarantee a coach will stick with a school for long.

A coach may have different long-

terms goals for a program than his or her administrators, driving a principal or athletic director to seek change. This happens all the time and is at least understandable.

Neil Pierson What baffles my mind, and the author of the aforementioned article, is when parents and student-athletes get the final word in whether a coach stays or goes.

I have no doubt the best high-school sports programs are those who stay in constant communication with their families and allow those people to be involved in myriad ways – fundraising, transportation, team dinners, social-media promotions and so forth.

But a line is crossed when those families dictate how a coach can operate their program through reasonable use of discipline.

The article I read touched on three main points: Parents need to set an example for sportsmanship and

how children relate to their coaches; administrators need to stand up to parents who bypass the coach’s authority; and coaches need to be able to impose rational consequences upon rule-breaking athletes.

After sharing the article, someone responded that children shouldn’t fear their coaches. I agree, but only in the sense that an athlete shouldn’t receive excessive punishment for negative behavior. And, depending on the severity of the transgression, that punishment can vary.

A child should fear disappointing their coach, and I’m not talking about on-field performance. Physical and mental errors happen. What kids can control is their effort. Show up on time and prepared for practices and games, get along with teammates and don’t break team rules, which are usually self-explanatory.

The best coaches find roles for every student-athlete, regardless of their talent level. Johnny and his parents need to know that even though he’s not the starting quarterback,

Letters to the Editor City’s concrete monstrosities destroying Summer Ridge streets The colossal arrogance of the City of Sammamish’s traffic planners and the City Council’s lack of oversight for failing to stop the destruction of our Summer Ridge streets in a boneheaded attempt to restrict traffic in the name of “safety” only benefits the contractor doing the work. The destruction of a safe driving area on our streets puts the children playing nearby at risk because it restricts line-of-sight for the children as well as drivers trying to safely drive on the streets. The streets are already too narrow to allow two-way traffic if cars are parked on both sides of the street as is often the case and the City is installing curbside slower boxes and traffic circles for no other reason than to further obstruct traffic in a poorly thought out scheme centered around traffic obstruction to force traffic to proceed as slowly as possible. Our streets are already safe for our neighbors to use for normal activities.

SAMMAMISH

They are not playgrounds. We have a centrally located park for children to safely play and run freely. Drivers are courteous and stop for pedestrians when they are present.

No one sought out the desires or opinions regarding the current rush to waste our taxes on such concrete monstrosities, or even if we agree that such measures are desirable or needed to promote safety. The City Council and traffic planning folks decided to do this “for our own good” because no one could possibly be doing this just to enrich the company that has been contracted to install these threats to our safety under the guise of “Doing it to, er, for the children.” Right?

When something happens that nobody wants, then it is best to follow the money. Negligence, whether ideological or financial, is ever-present and when it comes to elections, we will remember and vote appropriately.

he’s still valued. Maybe that means helping the starters get ready for that week’s game.

Playing time is a reward, not a birthright. Parents who dream of a scholarship for their daughter or son need to do some serious introspection. Having a respectful conversation with a coach about your child’s role is OK. Going behind their back to the principal or AD is not.

With a few exceptions like Bellevue’s Butch Goncharoff — a tangent I’m not about to wander into here — high-school coaches receive meager stipends for a heck of a lot of time invested. Many of them are teachers who are working with kids from dawn to dusk. Others have fulltime jobs in other industries and simply have a passion for their particular sport.

Either way, doesn’t that demand as much respect as we can muster?

Does the media have a positive effect on society?

YES

By Eddy Zhu Issaquah High School In today’s day and age, mainstream media is treated like the new boogeyman.

“It’s all tasteless garbage” they’ll shout from the rafters, “everyone has hidden agendas!” They’ll cynically hiss, and of course, my favorite, “Mainstream media is corrupting the youth!”

Corrupting the youth? That’s a little extreme don’t you think? Sure, much of today’s pop culture driven media is mindless drivel, but much of it is informative, interesting, and unafraid to challenge social norms.

Kids these days have the world at their fingertips.

They can find out what is happening at the opposite end of the earth in an instant. Think of the different cultural perspectives,

worldviews and progressive ideas they’re exposed to. Not to mention, media serves as an outlet for all kinds of creative, unique people, who are able to broadcast their thoughts and ideas to a wider audience than ever before. Think of all the brilliant, thought provoking movies and TV shows out there that wouldn’t be possible without today’s mainstream media. And yes, there is some bad stuff out there, but kids should also be given more credit. We’re not going to join the Hitler Youth at the snap of a finger just because Fox News told us to.

It’s almost like we’re able to, get ready for this, formulate our own opinions by using good judgment. So let’s stop blaming mainstream media for everything wrong in today’s society, and instead cherish it for being a bastion of progress and communication.

NO

By Rohan Vaidya Skyline High School Mainstream media has become a pivotal aspect of our lives. It reports on everything from the latest news in the sports industry to the most recent updates in the presidential campaign. People often say that the media is a positive influence on us. It helps us to “stay informed.” That is true, it does help us stay informed, but it also does a lot more — a lot more negative.

Because of the way news is reported, today’s youth are exposed more to the negative aspects that are happening around the world than the positive ones. In recent time, going on the front page of CNN will always yield violent world events rather than constructive ones. The American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry has shown that

youth who see violence in the news, believe that violence is a normal part of life and it is OK to imitate that violence. In addition, today’s media has a focus on reporting on events that are happening in other first-world countries. When terroristS attacked Paris and Brussels, the media covered those events for weeks. But when a factory collapses in Bangladesh, killing 1,100 people, the news covers it for far less time and fewer people are aware. The media often only reports on topics that we are able to relate to making our generation oblivious to the atrocities — and boons — that happen in other second and third world countries.

All in all, the media tends to focus its attention on negative events that happen around the world and often times fail to report on events that are harder for us to relate to. Due to these two huge reasons, many aspects of the media hurt us as youth more than it helps us.

From ‘Dab fad’ to controversy

By Noela Lu Skyline High School Whip/Nae Nae and the Dab are the latest dance crazes of 2015 and 2016, bringing instant admiration to any soul talented enough to master these moves.

These dance moves have generated controversy as to their origins — most notably, the Dab, which happens to be one of the easiest dances to master. According to Rolling Stone, the Dab was initially observed in Atlanta rapper Skippa da Flippa’s 2014 video for the song “How Fast Can You Count It,” leading to a massive influx of

vines copying the move. But American rapper Bow Wow postulated that the origins of the popular dance move had something to do with cannabis dabbers. He explained that the commonly used terminology of “dabbing” to represent the carefree dance move is also associated with the act of smoking concentrated marijuana oil. There’s also been further speculation that the dance move originated from another form of “dabbing,” in which cocaine users snort cocaine from their elbow, but casually pretend they’re simply sneezing.

By May 22, 2015, YouTuber

T-Jay Hayes had already released one of the earliest tutorial videos, garnering more than 2.3 million views in the first years. Vines of people dabbing filled the Internet. Hip-hop artists like Jay-Z, Future and Rich the Kid began dabbing both during live performances and music videos. Professional athletes joined in on the fun.

So regardless where dabbing arose from, it is undoubtedly the prevalence of YouTube and vines that have led to the rapid spread of the Dab, showing us just how powerful the internet is in influencing popular society.

TEEN TALK WHAT FADS DO YOU FEEL STRONGLY ABOUT? Skyline

ROGER LIN Sophomore

Do style trends inhibit creativity?

By Megan So Liberty High School From the runway to magazine pages to Instagram posts to your school’s hallways, chances are you will have many encounters with style trends. It›s not unusual to walk down the hall and see many girls wearing multiple brands’ variations of the T-shirt dress. Last year, Birkenstocks seemed to be on everyone’s feet. At least one girl in each class has ombré hair. The trends never end and almost seem to be replaced as quickly as the next smartphone.

As social media grows, more and more people have access to the latest fads. It’s not unusual to see several students sporting Adidas Superstars or Nike Roshes — things that are often featured in “Outfit of the Day” Instagram posts. Most teens have been in a Forever21 or an American Eagle, and many more will buy into whatever trends are cycling through the media next.

I’m no fashion expert, but it doesn’t take one to see just how significant style trends can be to high schoolers.

But are they positive or

negative influencers?

One Liberty student wore a traditional Indian dress to prom. Another explained to me that her dress was actually a black t-shirt and a tulle maxi skirt. There’s nothing wrong with the usual sparkly dress, but don’t feel constrained from wearing something different.

It’s fine to wear something you like whether it’s part of a trend or not. But don’t let trends make you feel like you can’t wear anything else.

As long as you like it, wear it with confidence. You might even start a new trend.

Linguistic fads — yay or nay?

By Matthew Duff Issaquah High School Groovy. Awesome. Radical.

Tight. Lit. All of these terms communicate essentially the same thing, although they vary in their era of origin.

Language is not static; popular phrases constantly phase in and out of style. Many language fads are briefly in vogue but eventually fall to linguistic obscurity. A select few withstand the test of time and become integrated into longstanding — or even intergenerational —vernacular.

Youth are constantly riding a wave of idiosyncratic,

trendy phrases. Lit, low key, 10/10, would recommend and savage are today what groovy and nifty were to generations past. Yet are these linguistic peculiarities debasing or refining language? On the one hand, slang is a gross simplification of the sophisticated properties of language. But in their own way, fad phrases take on unique and subtle connotations, effectively carving their own linguistic niche. “Lol,” increasingly pronounced as a one-syllable word as opposed to an acronym, does not merely mean something is funny; it is typically used with a touch

of cynicism, similar to the laughing-crying emoji on smart phones. “Savage” is not a direct equivalent of the word “cool;” it usually implies an edge of daring or perhaps brutality, a gutsiness or bravado about a person.

In this way, linguistic fads take on life of their own.

In most cases, language moves on to new experimental expressions, and formerly cutting-edge phrases fall into disuse (consider yesteryear’s “ratchet”). Every generation, however, kneads and shapes language in its own way and has a chance to leave a lasting mark on the English dictionary.

“I really like the dabbing trend that is all over the U.S. nowadays, because no matter where you are, you always have people cheering when you dab.”

JARON JIN Junior

“I don’t feel strongly about a particular trend, but I think trends are a positive thing even if they’re overdone. Things like the running man challenge and dabbing allow people to be a part of something and in turn I believe it builds a stronger sense of community.”

Liberty

EMILY WALTZER Senior

“I honestly can’t stand when people say things like ‘fam’ or ‘lit.’ There’s nothing really wrong with it, it just drives me insane.”

NICK CACCHIONE Sophomore

“I think all the dance trends like Whip and Nae Nae are really funny and people are having a lot of fun with them.”

Issaquah

AASHI JHAWAR Junior

“The recent popularization of Birkenstocks is one of my least favorite fads. In my opinion, they’re overpriced and ugly.”

DUNCAN MULLEN Senior

“I love the newly popularized words ‘fam’, ‘suh’ and ‘lit,’ because they satirize themselves.

They’re ready-made comedy, no effort required.”

SAMMAMISH REVIEW

Eastside Catholic girls complete perfect season with state lacrosse title Crusaders rout Lake Sammamish, 14-4, for first top-flight crown

By Neil Pierson npierson@ sammamishreview.com

For many of the Eastside Catholic players who donned their lacrosse jerseys for the final time on May 20, the work they poured into winning a state championship went far beyond the end of last season.

One of those players, Maddie Banks, said the Crusaders’ path to the girls’ state championship began when this year’s seniors played together in third grade.

They quite literally grew up dreaming of winning a state title together.

“For it to become a reality is surreal,” said Banks, who scored twice as Eastside Catholic demolished Lake Sammamish 14-4 at Bellevue High School and completed an undefeated season.

“We made it so far last year.

All the years before we’ve got knocked out and we finally made it. We finally clinched the one we’ve been working for.”

Except for a pair of twogoal wins during the regular season and a three-goal win in the quarterfinals over twotime defending champion Issaquah, the Crusaders were rarely challenged during their 16-0 season.

Lake Sammamish (12-4) kept it close for one half, trailing 6-3, but EC scored five goals in the first six minutes of the second half to break the game open.

Carlin Reilly led the Crusaders with five goals, including the first three after halftime. The junior finished the season with 62 tallies.

Reilly said the Crusaders pushed hard to put the game away after Lake Sammamish played a strong first half, patiently moving the ball and

The Eastside Catholic girls lacrosse teams hoists its state championship trophy after an undefeated season, including its 14-4 victory over Lake Sammamish on May 20 at Bellevue High School. Midfielder Carlin Reilly led Eastside Catholic in the final with five goals, including the first three after halftime.

disrupting the EC attack with strategically-timed fouls.

“It was just kind of our chance as a team,” Reilly said of the hot start to the second

half. “We saw the field and then we decided … what we were going to do and how we were going to work this. So it was kind of up to us – no new

plays, just same old, same old.”

Confidence carries Spartans to KingCo tournament title Fastpitch: Skyline 3, Woodinville 2

By Neil Pierson npierson@sammamishreview.com “Worst to first” was a popular hashtag on Twitter for Skyline fastpitch players following their victory in the May 18 championship game of the Class 4A KingCo Conference tournament.

Last season, the Spartans finished last in the nine-team conference, the lone team to miss the playoffs. But they completed a startling turnaround under first-year coach Lindsay Sullivan as they held off the Woodinville Falcons, 3-2, in the tournament title game at Inglemoor High School in Kenmore.

Sullivan, who knocked off her alma mater, has said all season her players had the physical tools to win but needed to develop a positive mindset.

“It showed tonight,” she said. “It showed their capabilities, especially

playing a great team like Woodinville.

We jump on top, stay on top the whole way through.”

Skyline’s veteran players said Sullivan has found ways to connect with them.

“She sends a lot of inspirational quotes to us,” said first baseman Annika Hildebrand, the team’s lone senior.

“Once a night,” added junior pitcher Caroline Bowman, who struck out 12 hitters in a complete-game performance.

Skyline (17-5) is headed to the state tournament, May 27-28 in Spokane, for the first time since 2004. Though none of the current players have been there, Sullivan experienced the high-pressure environment during her playing days at Woodinville.

The coach believed her girls have what it takes to succeed there. Three KingCo 4A programs – Woodinville, Inglemoor and Eastlake – have won state titles since 2004.

“KingCo is probably one of the SEE FASTPITCH, PAGE 10

Crusaders fastpitch qualifies for state, falls shy of district title game

By Neil Pierson npierson@ sammamishreview.com Some losses are better than others and that’s basically how Eastside Catholic coach Angela Napier treated the Crusaders’ 2-1 defeat to Juanita on May 19 in the semifinals of the SeaKing District 2 fastpitch tournament.

With a berth in the district title game on the line, the Crusaders went toe to toe with the defending Class 3A champions and nearly pulled off a victory. The Rebels (20-5) scored twice in the top of the seventh to rally past EC pitcher Abi Kirsten, who bravely worked her way out of multiple jams for six innings.

“I loved tonight’s game even though we fell short because these are the type of games that we’re going to be experiencing at state,” Napier said.

Juanita beat Lake Washington for the district title, while Eastside Catholic (14-9) earned the No. 3 seed to state with its 6-3 victory over West Seattle on May 20.

All four teams are headed to this weekend’s 3A state tournament in Lacey. It’s an historic achievement for Eastside Catholic, which will be going for the first time in program history.

The Crusaders earned their spot May 17 with a 14-1 whitewashing of the Ballard Beavers, a team that beat them 7-5 and

5-3 during the regular season.

EC racked up 17 hits against Ballard pitcher Megan QuigleyMcAlister and scored 10 runs in the last two innings. Harper Brown was 4 for 4 with a home run and three RBI, four other players drove in multiple runs and Kirsten was superb in the pitching circle, holding the Beavers to five hits and striking out nine.

“I think it was one of the best pitched games I’ve done in a while,” Kirsten said. “Even though they beat us two times before, we didn’t let that stop us. We just came back fighting even more and it paid off.”

“I think we had our mindset straight and (qualifying for state) was our team goal,” Napier added. “After we went out with Bellevue and took care of that situation, 17-8 (to open the district tournament), our confidence was off the charts.”

Still, the Crusaders know they can improve as they head to the 16-team state tournament. Their offensive numbers are impressive, posting nine runs per game on average, but they’re 0-7 this season when scoring fewer than five runs.

EC had a good start against Juanita and pitcher Lisa Nelson. Caroline Sonnen coaxed a walk, moved to third on Kirsten’s single and raced home on a passed ball to give her team a 1-0 lead after one inning.

But it was the only offense

EC could muster as Nelson finished with 12 strikeouts and let only three balls leave the infield. Two of the Crusaders’ four hits were bunts from McKenzie Spires and Maddie Iem. Nelson consistently caught the Crusaders reaching for her rise ball up and out of the strike zone.

“You can’t win a ball game with four hits,” Napier said.

“Great pitcher – I give her a ton of credit on that. We tried to be patient on (rise balls). I think the kids were eager and it was just not our night offensively.”

Despite Nelson’s dominance, Kirsten and the Crusaders held the lead through six innings.

The senior dealt with runners in every inning, but none of them made it home. The Rebels left the bases loaded in the fifth and two more in scoring position in the sixth.

But Brynn Radke’s triple to start the seventh ignited Juanita. Kristina Warford drilled an RBI double to the right-field gap to tie the score and collected the winning run on Briar Swayne’s groundout.

Kirsten finished with a hard-luck loss, giving up nine hits and five walks with four strikeouts.

“They just came up and had clutch hits when they needed it,” Kirsten said of the Rebels.

“I don’t think anything fell short on our side as it goes for defense.”

Skyline senior forward Mason Prendergast celebrates his goal as Bellarmine Prep junior keeper Sean Carlin sprawls on the pitch for a save attempt in the first half of the Spartans’ Class 4A first-round boys soccer state playoff matchup May 17 against the Lions.

Skyline soccer beats Bellarmine, loses to Snohomish at state

By Neil Pierson npierson@ sammamishreview.com Opponents who hope to contain Skyline’s talented attack know they’ll have to make the Spartans uncomfortable by playing physically and fearlessly.

The Bellarmine Prep Lions did that for long stretches of a Class 4A first-round boys soccer state playoff matchup. But the Spartans had two moments of brilliance that saw them through to the next round.

Mason Prendergast opened the scoring in the first half and Fed Rubiolo produced the game-

winner in the second half as Skyline held on for a 2-1 victory on May 17 in Sammamish.

But the Spartans’ search for their first 4A semifinal berth in five seasons ended May 21 against two-time defending champion Snohomish. The Panthers scored in the 77th minute to nullify Matthew Richardson’s first-half goal and, after 10 scoreless minutes of overtime, won 5-4 on penalty kicks.

check her at third and I saw that she was going, so I got rid of it. It worked out.”

“They had great transfers, they moved their feet and they had perfect throws, and that’s what it takes to get that double play,” Sullivan added.

Regular-season champion Woodinville wasn’t about to go quietly. Trailing 3-1 in the seventh, the Falcons got a leadoff single from Paige Grover. With two outs, Erin McGrath hit a hard ground ball past Hildebrand – a ball the first baseman felt she should’ve had – and that narrowed the lead to one.

But Bowman stayed composed and struck out Taylor Rhinehart on a high fastball to end the game.

Bowman held the Falcons to six hits. She threw 122 pitches and didn’t walk anyone despite a strategy centered on working the edges of the strike zone.

“I knew what they’d hit before, so I was really working my curve ball,” she said. “I was trying to keep it off the plate with them because I know that they can turn on an inside pitch. I was trying to give them nothing good to hit.”

tougher districts in the state,” Sullivan said. “It sets you up for state and you can go far with it, especially with the mentality that they have and now their bats are finally clicking all together.”

The second-seeded Spartans used some early offensive fireworks to put pressure on the topseeded Falcons (18-4).

Lauren Lo, the second batter of the game, drilled a Lauryn Rhinehart pitch over the fence in left field, giving Skyline a 1-0 lead. The margin grew to 3-0 after four innings as Lo had an RBI single and Taylor Juenke had an RBI double.

Both teams had critical defensive plays as the Falcons gunned down Lo at the plate to end the fourth and left fielder Katie Kelly robbed Shayna Swanson of a homer in the fifth.

The Spartans returned the favor in the sixth after Rhinehart’s leadoff double. Mikaelie Sullivan hit a routine ground ball to second base and Rhinehart didn’t stop at third. An alert Hildebrand fired home and catcher Maddie Peters made the tag for a double play.

“I had no idea she was going,” Hildebrand said.

five seasons, scored with about 14 minutes left but was shut out the rest of the way.

The Crusaders centered their defensive effort on Madelyn Hunter and Korbyn Stahl. Hunter, who had 52 goals entering the game, had a first-half hat trick and Stahl (32 goals) went scoreless.

“We talked about face guarding them, just not letting them get the ball on the perimeter,” said EC senior Olivia Jacobsen. “A bunch of us had played with them, including myself, and so we really knew how they worked and how they got the ball around.”

The Crusaders’ playoff run included blowout wins over Bellarmine Prep (18-4) and Roosevelt (20-5). For 25 minutes, it appeared Lake Sammamish would avoid

that fate, but Banks’ second goal with 1:55 to play made it a 10-goal margin and initiated a running clock.

Banks said coach Colette Foreman’s halftime talk helped make sure the team’s ultimate objective didn’t slip away.

“She said we need to accomplish it – it’s now or never,” Banks said.

“So many seniors are graduating and she said it’s a once-in-a-lifetime chance.”

Mackenzie MacIlvennie had two of EC’s first four goals and Jessie Carroll notched the team’s final goal of the first half. Jacobsen and Maddie McMaster each scored twice in the second half.

The teams met in the second game of the season on March 11 and the Crusaders won 19-9,

but they didn’t expect to have an easy time again.

“They were a totally different team,” Banks said. “They beat Issaquah, who we barely beat, so I was expecting so much out of them and, honestly, it was really hard.”

The Crusaders won a Division II state championship in 2010 but this was their first title since Washington moved to a one-classification system in 2012.

Reilly acknowledged first-year coach Brittany Poist for being a key addition to the program.

“Brittany played at Maryland, so she has this whole lax IQ and she can really help us with what will work and what won’t work,” Reilly said.

“And it’s just this whole extra bump of knowledge that we could really benefit from.”

regulation when a breakdown along the back line allowed Lions senior forward Jordan Williams to get free.

A wide-open Williams finish calmly past goalkeeper Lucas Richardson, making the three minutes of stoppage time harrowing, but the Spartans survived and reached the round of eight for the fifth time in coach Don Braman’s tenure.

Skyline’s players were quick to praise Narrows League champion Bellarmine (14-2-1) for providing a tough test.

“They knew how to possess the ball, and they were also able to just play it up top and they were a really good post-up team,”

said Prendergast, a senior forward.

“We had a little bit of trouble with it in the first half. We couldn’t really find our rhythm. Once we started to string passes together, we really started to connect as a team and we started to dismantle them all over the field.”

The Lions started the game brightly with a few half-chances in the first 15 minutes. The Spartans settled in after that and began putting playmaker Luis Miller into good positions.

In the 29th minute, Miller made the Lions pay for giving him a sliver of space. He crossed the ball from the right side of the penalty area to Prendergast, who finished a 5-yard header past Bellarmine keeper Sean Carlin.

“It’s all on Luis – he served in a great ball and it makes it really easy for me as a striker just to be able to put that away,” Prendergast said.

Bellarmine finished the first half with a 6-5 edge in shots and forced Skyline’s back four to be wary with a one-goal lead.

But the Spartans doubled their lead in the 58th minute when Ty Good bent a left-footed corner kick to Rubiolo, a senior who has produced several goals this season from his left back position.

Braman told the Spartans before the game that Carlin tended to cheat to the near post and leave the back side open on corners, Rubiolo said.

Danny Sinatro had a home run for the Spartans in the win. q In a 3A state opener at Bannerwood Park in Bellevue, Eastside Catholic (19-5) had no answer for Sumner pitcher Preston Fullington, as the senior righthander struck out 10, walked none and retired the last 20 batters he faced in a one-hitter, leading the Spartans to a 3-1 win.

“He mixed it up well on us,” EC coach Kyle Larsen said. “His arm slot was a little funky, and we couldn’t dial it in. He really had us baffled.”

Senior center fielder Taylor Wright led off the game with an infield single, advancing to second on a sacrifice bunt by Max Nealon and scoring when the throw to third on his stolen-base attempt flew into left field. After that, Fullington retired the Crusaders in order in the final six innings.
