Volunteers inspired to Eastside Firefighters dig wells for Nepalese Benevolent Fund

BY DAVID HAYES dhayes@sammamishreview.com

During the holiday season known for the giving spirit, a trio of friends from the Issaquah Highlands and Sammamish couldn’t help but be inspired by the path taken by a bartender from Raleigh, N.C. The three returned Dec. 12 from a two-week excursion volunteering to help install water wells in three Nepalese villages as part of the Wine to Water program established by Doc Hendley.

“In 2009, he was a CNN hero,” said Sammamish resident Robin White. “My husband and I caught sight of the program and were drawn to the fact that one guy, a bartender, heard about the worldwide water crisis and wanted to do something to help out. We were both fascinated by what he was doing.”

Sammamish Plateau Water’s board president wants to restart monitoring of the Lower Issaquah Valley Aquifer after perfluorooctane sulfonate, also known as PFOS, contaminated the aquifer.

Lloyd Warren told the Issaquah City Council during a

Dec. 19 meeting that the water district wants to find a longterm solution for the entire community.

“This groundwater resource is really a treasure to the community,” Warren said. “This aquifer is going to be around a lot longer than I am, and I feel a responsibility.”

The donation is the fund’s largest since it was first endowed about six years ago, said Eastside Fire & Rescue Battalion Chief Dave McDaniel, who also serves as the fund’s president.

“It was just a tremendous blessing,” McDaniel said.

The 100 Women Who Care group meets every quarter at Sigillo Cellars in Snoqualmie.

SAMMAMISH REVIEW

Callan elected new president of Issaquah School Board

BY DAVID HAYES dhayes@sammamishreview.com

The Issaquah School Board kicked off its Dec. 14 meeting by electing new leadership for the 2017 school year.

Lisa Callan, entering her fourth year representing District 4, was unanimously elected as president.

“I appreciate the opportunity to share the load in terms of setting the agenda, being responsible to community concerns and responding to appeals,” Callan said.

Harlan Gallinger, elected in 2015 to represent District 3, was selected as the board’s legislative representative.

Marnie Maraldo, a board member since 2009, was selected to return as its representative in the Federal Relations Network.

In other board business:

Surplus land The board authorized the administration to declare as surplus .89 acres of land it owns at 8400 136th Ave. SE in Newcastle. The authorization is the first step required to sell the land, to either a private or government entity.

The land was originally purchased in 1999 to use with the Newcastle Elementary School.

However, the property was divided by a roadway following the acquisition of the school site, leaving the little patch of land unusable for school purposes.

Declaring the land surplus allows the superintendent to schedule a public hearing, provide public notice and take other actions required under public statute to dispose of the property.

Community report The administration unveiled its new online

Annual Report to the Community. OSPI requires the superintendent prepare an annual progress report to the public that includes: n Student achievement n Programs and services n Revenues and expenditures None of the information within the online format is new. Rather, it takes information away from an old, printable scorecard and puts it all in a more, accessible format easier to break down, according to Superintendent Ron Thiele.

“What’s really different is the format and certainly the scorecard change.

It had grown old and stagnant,” Thiele said.

“The feature I really like is the ability to break all the academic data by ethnicity, gender, free lunch and the like. It’s hard to know the areas where there are gaps if you don’t know data.”

The link can be found on the district’s homepage issaquah.wednet. edu by clicking on the Community Report link. From there, community members can also navigate through OSPI’s report card on each individual school, the annual parent survey, the district’s thought exchange engagements on the bell time change discussions and the last year for the community polling study.

“It’s packed with so much information and you can go as deep or high a level as you want,” Thiele said.

Gifts to the district In the consent agenda, the school board approved the following gifts to the school district that exceeded $5,000: n Cascade Ridge Elementary School PTSA — $20,000 to help purchase a playground structure

n Cougar Ridge Elementary School PTSA — $15,964.16 to fund the purchase of Kindles, iPads and laptops n Pine Lake Middle School PTSA — $15,097.16 to fund curriculum grants n Issaquah High School PTSA — $5,085.36 to help purchase equipment to set up a radio station n Issaquah Schools Foundation — $312,416 to fund the following enrichment programs: — $60,000 for elementary math adoption — $7,500 for Boeing/ Teaching Channel Science Innovation — $800 for Early Learning Provider training — $9,168 for GLAD training for High School ELL — $10,560 for GLAD training for Middle School ELL — $2,758 for Challenger ASAP — $25,000 for Career

Cruising — $15,000 for Shakespeare Alive — $18,000 for High School Robotics — $15,000 for Middle School Robotics — $33,000 for Financial Literacy, Junior Achievement — $5,000 for College Bound — $25,000 for After School Open Library — $15,000 for Briarwood ASAP — $8,560 for Echo Glen Math — $5,000 for Issaquah Middle School Breakfast Pilot — $14,000 for Writing Support, Matt Glover — $4,000 for Career and Technical Education Certification — $8,000 for Scratch Coding Club — $5,000 for PSAT/AP/ IB/CTE testing scholarships — $26,070 for Gibson Ek extracurricular support

Lunch for the Break. For her daughter, school breaks were occasions to go see “The Nutcracker” and spend time with her mother, but for other students at Issaquah Valley Elementary, no school meant no lunch.

That lunch could also be the only meal some children eat all day, Silverstein said.

The next school break, the program grew to Clark Elementary, where about 25 percent of students get free or reduced lunch.

After that, Silverstein said she couldn’t do it on her own and needed a place to expand. Lunch for the Break partnered with the Issaquah Food and Clothing Bank, and several area churches offered their support.

“With high rents, food is the thing that gets cut,” Silverstein said. “It’s wonderful when people can reach a hand to a neighbor who needs help.”

Each participating student receives a box filled with food for lunch and breakfast all week, taking the stress off of families during the break from school. Lunch for the Break provides a shopping list to donors, who then shop and pack boxes. Fresh produce is added after boxes are collected, a few days before the break begins.

This year, Silverstein amassed enough donations to provide families with gift cards to Safeway and QFC, passes to the swimming pool and the zoo, plus a pizza dinner, compliments of MOD Pizza. King County librarians were also on hand to pass out free books.

“This time was really exciting because we were able to give more than just a box of food,” Silverstein said. “Many of the people had tears in their eyes when I told them you can take your kids out for pizza.”

Silverstein is still expanding. “Issaquah Power Packs” now serves kids on the weekends, but currently is only available at two schools.

Lunch for the Break, aimed at school-aged children, encourages people to sign up on their website, but it also accepts walk-ins.

“We’re open to anyone who says they need food for their child,” Silverstein said.

OPINION

On Further Review

Celebrate the game officials as well as the top athletes of the year

T

he original intent of this week’s column was to recognize our coverage area’s top high-school athletes of the past year. I’ll

get to that.

First, let’s talk a little about Neil Pierson sportsmanship and the kind of example some adults are setting at high-school sporting events.

It’s not the first time in my 14 years as a prep sports reporter that I’ve had to type out a public reprimand due to behavior I’ve witnessed at a game. And, unfortunately, it probably won’t be the last time.

If you’ve flipped to the sports section in this week’s Issaquah Press or Sammamish Review, you’ll notice coverage of two girls basketball games on the same day: Eastside Catholic vs. Mark Morris and Skyline vs.

Redmond.

The same remarkable behavior occurred at — and detracted from — both games. Fans, some of them presumably parents of the players, decided the officiating wasn’t up to snuff. They began voicing that displeasure.

Loudly. Nothing profane, but it made me shake my head in disbelief.

High-school officials aren’t professionals. They love sports and want to be around them any way possible, so they give up a few nights a week when they’re done with their real jobs.

And yet they take a lot of abuse. For what? Because Jenny’s dad can’t stand that his daughter might not win a high-school basketball game?

Look, this isn’t Little League. Playing to win has been and should be part of the teenage mindset. But high-school sports aren’t college sports or pro sports. Officials need to be treated with more respect than you’d give Gene Steratore during the Seahawks game.

Hold your tongue and save the critique for your next trip to CenturyLink Field.

On to the good stuff. My last Off the Press column of 2016 is also about the area’s best athletes of 2016. Listed below are my top five and I welcome second opinions.

To make the list, athletes had to attend one of the six

high schools I cover: Eastlake, Eastside Catholic, Issaquah, Liberty, Mount Si or Skyline.

And these aren’t necessarily the most talented athletes — some won’t play Division I sports — but the ones who had the greatest impact on their teams.

1. Caroline Bowman, Skyline fastpitch. Bowman was an invaluable piece for a Spartans squad that qualified for the state tournament. She was the Class 4A KingCo Conference MVP, pitching nearly every inning for her team and hitting in the cleanup spot. She plans to play at San Jose State.

2. Jimmy Boyce, Mount Si baseball. An all-state pitcher and KingCo 4A Player of the Year, Boyce dominated the opposition during the Wildcats’ march to the state playoffs.

He struck 54 hitters in 41²⁄³ innings and had a 1.18 ERA. He’s playing for Edmonds Community College now and don’t be surprised if he shows up on the international stage for his native New Zealand.

3. Ben Howard, Eastlake football. The senior quarterback and KingCo 4A Offensive MVP helped the Wolves back to the state playoffs for third time in four seasons. Howard threw 30 touchdown passes in 11 games and was stellar in a 49-0 playoff win over Kentwood (18 of 30, 277 yards, three TDs).

4. Gina Marxen, Eastlake girls basketball. As a sophomore point guard, Marxen played like a senior. She averaged 17.2 points, 5.2 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game as the Lady Wolves reached the regional round of 16.

5. Abby Russell, Liberty swimming. Russell contributed heavily to the Patriots’ 2A title wins in 2014 and ’15 and she was the star as Liberty three-peated this fall. She was second in the 100-yard breaststroke and upset U.S. Olympic Trials qualifier Taylor McCoy of Pullman to win the 200 individual medley.

SAMMAMISH REVIEW

Letters to the Editor New tax would go toward roads, not keeping your car off them I guess it is not unusual to complain about “them” (the state Legislature) trying to raise revenue — taxes (On Further Review, Dec. 15).

No one enjoys paying taxes. The legislators do, however, have the responsibility to create and adopt a state budget, raising the money for education, public safety, health, parks and transportation. I and my wife do drive, as David Hayes also does.

We like roads with no holes, stoplights that work, signs in the right places. We have seen a lot of work on roads in the last few years, not to speak over the last 50 years. On our family budget, mostly based on our Social Security checks, we know that we have to pay our share for all this. It is doable.

Our legislators do really work, sometimes into overtime, to meet the needs at the lowest possible cost (taxes). They are not really trying to keep your car off the roads.

Thank you City Council for making the city a welcome, inclusive community for Muslims

The Sammamish Muslim Association would like to thank the City Council for reaffirming its pledge to ensure Sammamish is a safe, inclusive, diverse, tolerant and welcoming community for all people.

As Muslim Americans living in Sammamish, we would like you to know that your proclamation did not go unnoticed. We are very blessed to live in and raise our families among the best neighbors and community here in our Sammamish.

While the national election created feelings of concern among some in our community, it is very heartening to be reminded yet again that we live in a city that is committed to fostering an environment based on the principles and values declared in your proclamation. These principles and values are not only compatible but also mandated by our Muslim faith; therefore, we stand with the City Council to strive to uphold and live by them. After all, these are the very principles that have made our country so great.

Our prophet (peace be upon him) reminds us in one of his sayings that “S/He who does not thank people has not thanked Allah [God].” So thank you again for making our city so welcoming.

impressed by what he’s doing. He’s a humble guy, just a bartender who wanted to do more with his life. Very unassuming.

Just admirable for what he did,” White said.

In 2004, Hendley found himself in Darfur, Sudan, in the midst of a war, working to provide clean water to those who were in desperate need in desperate times.

After Hendley’s return to the states, Wine To Water became an official 501(c)(3) organization in 2007.

He has since expanded to a staff of seven, but has volunteers working projects in the Amazon, Cambodia, Haiti, East Africa, Nepal and the Dominican Republic.

The latter is where White took the leap of faith and joined the cause toward the end of 2014.

Wine to Water works with a ceramic filter factory in the Dominican Republic. White said the thing about Wine to Water is they focus on the community aspect, building a relationship with the locals and keeping a relationship going.

“A gal down there makes ceramic filters so the people can provide clean water for themselves. Prior to that, kids were going to the river, gathering dirty water, giving it to their families and getting sick. So there was a lack of education.”

White volunteered in the filter factory, learning how they were made and helping with distribution.

She also assisted with the kids’ WASH program, Water Sanitation and Hygiene, teaching about bacteria and clean water, and giving out a bag with a toothbrush at the end.

“I think one of biggest things volunteers do is not only go there and help out a little bit. It’s more about the people there and about coming back home and creating awareness — this is what I’ve seen, this is the need,” White said.

dents, learned of Wine to Water’s efforts through White and decided to join her on the next mission overseas, this time to Nepal.

“She’d been talking about her experience for quite a while. It sounded interesting and exciting, so she convinced us of this worthwhile endeavor,” Cannon said. “First and foremost, I was ignorant about the global water crisis. Learning more about that was something intriguing to me. But to tangibly help people in a meaningful way was important to me as well.”

Cannon learned, according to World Health Organization figures, 663 million people worldwide do not have access to clean water and another 1.2 billion people lack access to improved sanitation.

“I wanted to continue getting out there to see what’s being done,” White said. “You might feel like you’re doing only a little bit, but if everybody does a little bit, eventually you fill a bucket.”

The trio set out Dec. 1, meeting up with a group of 14 other volunteers, splitting into two groups helping three villages.

Cannon, a program manager for a legal firm, has international travel experience but had never been to Nepal.

“I tried really hard not to have expectations,” she said. “I didn’t want to be disappointed, or have preconceived notions. I wanted to go into it with an open mind and an open heart.”

White, a homemaker and freelance writer going on her second volunteer trip, did have expectations.

“I actively tried to have expectations. I suspected we’d be working hard and my expectations were met. We were physically

sweating every day, with muscles sore at the end of the day by working on the wells.”

The villages where they worked were not cut off from civilization — they were only a 25-minute drive from where they were staying in a larger city. But White described the villages as dirt-packed with cedar-block homes.

The villages had electricity, but not necessarily in the homes themselves.

Some adults and children had cell phones, but they were used more as cameras, as the villages had no internet or Wi-Fi, as well as no plumbing.

Cannon said she was surprised to discover how low-tech, yet easy, the installation of wells were. A group of four volunteers pounded a pipe by hand into the ground, usually 30 to 60 feet until they struck water. The water was then siphoned up by slapping the top of the pipe with an open palm, then the hand pump attached once it was ready to flow.

In all, they installed nine wells in three communities, assisting 20 to 90 households and more than 600 beneficiaries.

“I’m amazed how quickly wells can be

installed if things go correctly,” White said. “One group, though, it took them three days to get a well done. They drilled down 65 feet, pounding and pounding. The entire community was wondering are we going to hit water or not? They were almost to the point of giving up to move to another location when they finally hit water. It was a relief for the team and the community. It was a neat experience for everyone.”

White said their workdays were packed, leaving little time for sightseeing until the end of the trip.

“We’d have breakfast,

work all day, break for lunch or tea, and then at night go back to the hotel.

We’d debrief with the trip leader, then drop into bed exhausted shortly after that.”

But that’s not to say it wasn’t a learning experience for both sides of the project. They were able to work past the language barrier through an interpreter and got to learn more about their hosts.

“They were intrigued by us not just being outsiders, but also being of a different origin,” Cannon said. “They were exceptionally welcoming. They brought us in. I felt they

absorbed us into their family.

They asked why are you here?

Why are you helping us? But not in a defensive way. They just couldn’t comprehend in their way of thinking why a group of people would want to come in and help them.”

She said every day they were in the village, they were surrounded by neighbors who would prepare afternoon cookies and tea for them and sometimes provide a chair, blanket or mat to sit atop on the ground.

“They took care of us. They were very welcoming, very gracious, very thankful,” Cannon said.

Now that they’ve returned, White said her next goal is getting a Seattle chapter of Wine to Water started up, hopefully

by World Water Day in March.

“This trip confirmed for me that I want to stay involved,” she said. “I want to continue getting out there to see what’s being done.”

If White plans another trip,

Cannon plans to be right there with her.

“I would most definitely do it again,” said. “We mark-

edly transformed these people’s lives. They were so thankful, so grateful. I didn’t expect that at all.”

Geosyntec Consultants, a Seattlebased company contracted by the city. The agency pointed to Eastside Fire and Rescue’s headquarters at 175 Newport Way Northwest as a source of the PFOS contaminating the Lower Issaquah Valley Aquifer.

“The only logical conclusion at this point is that the source of the PFOS is at the EFR property,” said Bob Anderson, a representative from Geosyntec. “This is a significant source of PFOS to the aquifer.”

In October, soil samples taken from Eastside Fire and Rescue’s headquarters were found to contain trace amounts of PFOS. PFOS is frequently associated with firefighting foam, specifically the Class B “aqueous film-forming foam” first developed by 3M and the U.S. Navy in the 1960s. EFR officials told the Sammamish Review that firefighting foam containing PFOS had been the standard in the industry until 2000. 3M stopped all production of its Class B firefighting foam in 2002.

According to the water report, Geosyntec identified EFR as a source of the PFOS, but not necessarily the only source.

Trace amounts of PFOS have also been detected in three Sammamish Water Plateau production wells.

In an effort to determine if there are multiple sources of the contaminant, the City of Issaquah began testing soil samples taken from the grounds of several fire stations in the city.

The city expects results from samples taken at Eastside Fire and Rescue Station 71, located at 190 E Sunset Way, and City Hall South, the former home of a fire station, to come back early next year.

Anderson told councilmembers that samples taken from newly drilled Monitoring Well No. 6, located roughly 600 feet north of EFR near the junction of Newport Way Northwest and Northwest Dogwood, detected PFOS at a level of 2,200 part per trillion. This is 31 times higher than the Environmental Protection Agency’s lifetime advisory level.

“That’s a pretty high hit,” Anderson said. “2.2 (2,200 parts per trillion) is a pretty strong detection of PFOS.” According to the November water report from Geosyntec, perfluorooctanoic acid, also known as PFOA, was detected in Monitoring Well No. 6 at 80 parts per trillion.

l

The EPA’s lifetime advisory level for PFOS and PFOA combines is 70 parts per trillion.

According to Geosyntec groundwater in Issaquah flows north, meaning Monitoring Well No. 6 is “downstream” of EFR headquarters.

Anderson also told councilmembers the high concentration of PFOS found in Monitoring Well No. 6 suggests that PFOS will likely increase at Gilman Well No. 4 before it decreases.

The city, EFR and Sammamish Plateau Water are in talks to form a partnership to coordinate efforts in finding the source of the contamination in the aquifer. Issaquah Mayor Fred Butler anticipates the group will meet in late January when more test results and information will be available.

“We are going to work together because we all have a shared interest,” Butler said.

Warren said Sammamish Plateau Water is committed to working with Issaquah and EFR. According to Warren, Sammamish Plateau Water plans on creating a groundwater model to understand how the water is moving around in the aquifer.

Anderson said it has not been not completely determined if EFR is also the source of the PFOS found in Gilman Well No. 5 and in three Sammamish Plateau Water production wells.

Geosyntec’s recommendations include: • Conduct further soil and groundwater investigations at EFR. • Consider adjusting the wells’ pumping schedule • Continue testing the newly installed monitoring wells • Consider further groundwater transport modeling.

According to Emily Moon, the deputy city administrator, groundwater modeling and an evaluation of the pumping schedule will be discussed when all three agencies reconvene next year.

The EPA classifies PFOS as an emerging contaminant, which the agency defines as “a chemical or material characterized by a perceived, potential, or real threat to human health or the environment or by a lack of published health standards.”

Because the EPA doesn’t formally regulate the chemical, there are no established recommendations or guidelines for source removal or cleanup.

PFOS is known to cause liver damage and birth defects in lab animals. Research on its effects on humans is still evolving.

New city garbage service starts Jan. 1

29, 2016

rently subscribe to yard waste services will see an increase, according to a City of Sammamish news release.

That’s because under the new contract, all customers will receive yard waste service, along with expanded curbside recycling options.

If residents with new yard waste service want to offset a portion of the rate increase, try these suggestions: n Put food scraps in the yard waste container, an allowed practice. n With less material going into the garbage,

ask Republic Services for a smaller and less expensive garbage can.

Republic Services recently mailed a brochure detailing its service rates to both new and old customers. It’s also posted on the city’s website at goo.gl/ucfW1z.

Due to state law, newly annexed areas — Klahanie, Mystic Lake, Camden Park, AldarraMontaine, etc. — are not immediately covered by the new contract. Most of these areas, however, will be covered within a couple of years, the city says.

SAMMAMISH REVIEW

PREP SPORTS YEAR IN REVIEW Skyline’s first baseball title tops 2016’s list of most memorable moments

BY NEIL PIERSON npierson@sammamishreview.com

Plateau schools had plenty to celebrate in 2016 as their athletes dominated the competition in everything from soccer and baseball, to swimming and lacrosse.

Listed below are the top 10 moments of the past year involving Eastlake, Eastside Catholic and Skyline athletics: 10. Eastlake wins regularseason volleyball title The Wolves followed up a successful 2015 season, which saw them reach the state tournament for the first time since 2002, with a 6-1 mark in Class 4A KingCo Conference matches.

Their four-set win over rival Skyline on Oct. 24 – keyed by Hayley Barney’s 17 kills and Tessa Woerner’s 24 assists – gave them the outright KingCo title and top seed to the conference tournament.

Eastlake couldn’t navigate the gauntlet for a return trip to state as it lost to Bothell and Issaquah. But the squad finished with a 13-5 record and Barney, a junior outside hitter, was the KingCo MVP.

The Skyline High School baseball team celebrates at home plate after winning their first 4A state baseball championship 2-1 over Kentwood May 28, 2016 at Gesa Stadium in Pasco.

gram last spring.

Behind a healthy and resurgent pitcher, Caroline Bowman, the Spartans went 19-7 and reached state for the first time since 2004. They didn’t win a trophy there but many of the players are eligible to return this spring.

Their most memorable moment was likely the KingCo tournament title game against Woodinville, in which Lauren Lo’s home run and Bowman’s 12-strikeout effort produced a 3-2 victory.

held high following a 17-8 season.

6. Eastlake golfers collect more state trophies Ashley Fitzgibbons and Maddie Nelson – who are now playing at Georgetown and Dartmouth, respectively – finished their star-studded Eastlake careers with another trophy finish at May’s 4A girls state tournament.

Eastlake scored 80.5 points for fourth place at Sun Willows Golf Course in Pasco as Fitzgibbons was the runner-up with a two-round total of 144.

Nelson was fourth at 145.

Not to be outdone, the Eastlake boys won a second-place trophy as Gabe Lysen, Richard Halbert and Tommy McCoy all finished inside the top 13 at Richland’s Meadow Springs Golf Course.

7. Eastlake surges to 4A girls basketball regionals Led by three of KingCo’s top 10 scorers – Gina Marxen, Cameron Edward and Sarah Priestley – the Lady Wolves asserted themselves again as one of the area’s top programs.

Marxen, a sophomore point guard who averaged 17.2 points and 4.8 assists en route to all-conference first-team honors, was sharp once again in the playoffs as Eastlake defeated Skyline, Inglemoor and Camas to reach the 4A regional round of 16.

Skyline once again made itself known as a nationally-ranked contender, rolling into November’s 4A semifinals with a rock-solid defense that produced 15 shutouts in 21 matches.

The Spartans fell short of their fifth state crown as eventual champion Camas beat them, 1-0, in Puyallup. It was the only loss for coach Don Braman’s squad as it rebounded the following day with a 2-0 win over Hanford to clinch the third-place trophy.

Anna Smith, Ava Giovanola, Marissa Carpenter and Julia Mitchell each earned AllKingCo first-team nods.

4. Eastside Catholic wins Metro baseball championship The Crusaders rolled through the Class 3A Metro League season with few challenges, other than two losses to perennial power O’Dea. Seattle Prep provided a little help when it upset O’Dea at the league tournament. And in the May 12 Metro title game, junior catcher Marcus McCannel and senior outfielder Taylor Wright came through in the clutch.

McCannel hit his first high-school home run and Wright had a basesclearing double in an 8-2 win over Seattle Prep. EC finished the season 19-5, losing to Sumner in the first round of the state playoffs.

3. Skyline swimmers defend state crown The Spartans knew things weren’t going to be handed to them as they tried to become repeat as 4A champions at November’s state meet in Federal Way. They earned everything they got as a first-place finish in the final event, the 400-yard freestyle relay, gave them the

needed points to hold off Wenatchee, 243-232.

Sophomore Sarah DiMeco won a pair of individual titles in the 200 and 500 freestyle races. Christina Bradley, Danika Himes, Catherine McRae and Stephanie Young were also key point scorers in Skyline’s victory.

2. Crusaders realize long-time dream with lacrosse title Some of the members of Eastside Catholic’s girls lacrosse team began playing together in third grade and the 2016 season represented their last chance to win a state title together.

They polished off a 16-0 season in May with a dominating, 14-4 victory over Lake Sammamish at Bellevue High School, capturing the school’s first Division I title in the process.

Carlin Reilly, Maddie Banks, Maddie McMaster, Olivia Jacobsen and Mackenzie MacIlvennie all scored multiple goals in the title game. Banks, Jacobsen, Reilly and goalkeeper Sara Williams were named to the allstate team.

1. Skyline wins school’s first baseball title New coach Brandon Hemphill wasted no time in making history with his alma mater.

The Spartans reached the 4A quarterfinals a year earlier and were hungry to repeat their success.

Every player seemed to contribute as Hemphill, a 2004 Skyline graduated, pushed the right buttons at the right times during a 21-7 season.

Dax Kringle, Riley Gill, Danny Sinatro, Connor Knutson and Jack Rooney had the starring roles as Skyline edged Kentwood, 2-1, in the May 28 title game, giving the school its first state championship in the sport.

Crusaders come through in the clutch for tourney win

BY NEIL PIERSON npierson@sammamishreview.com

Bailey Haner wasn’t about to let Eastside Catholic lose the game or the momentum her team is beginning to build.

The Crusaders’ senior point guard put the outcome against the Mark Morris Monarchs on her back, scoring nine of her game-high 14 points in the fourth quarter.

It was enough for the Crusaders to withstand a late charge from the Monarchs – and their own misses at the freethrow line – for a 40-32 victory on Dec. 21 at the Eastside Catholic Holiday Hoop Fest tournament.

The Crusaders, who opened the tourney a day earlier with a win over Eisenhower and snapped a five-game losing streak to start the season, didn’t have a good start against Mark Morris (2-3 overall).

And they struggled to put the game away, shooting 9 of 24 (37.5 percent) on free throws.

“I think that, in the first half, we were all just super timid and nervous because of the pressure they were putting on us,” Haner said.

Neither team lit up the gymnasium on offense, with the Monarchs making more free throws (10) than field goals (two) in the opening half. EC sophomore forward Mae Bryant was the difference, scoring all 10 of her

points before the break on short-range shots and free throws.

Bryant, who sat out the first five games due to a thyroid condition, returned against Eisenhower and made her presence felt against Mark Morris, though she spent much of the second half saddled with foul trouble.

She tried to follow the game plan that EC cocoaches Amber and Kwan Johnson laid out for her.

“It was just kind of go allout because I had a pretty good game yesterday, coming back,” Bryant said.

“Rebounding was the biggest thing because we have kind of a small team.”

Just as they did at halftime, the Crusaders had a one-point lead after three quarters. They began pulling away on the strength of

perimeter shooting – Haner and Kat Blanton sank two of the team’s three 3-pointers in the final five minutes.

With less than three minutes to play, EC had three consecutive offensive rebounds to maintain possession. After a timeout, Haner nailed a 3 from the left wing, pushing the lead to 33-28.

Blanton’s steal with under two minutes left set up her own 3-pointer, and Haner’s steal and subse-

quent free throws with 18.8 seconds left sealed the win.

But the Crusaders know they’ll have to be more efficient at cashing in from the charity stripe.

“I’ve got to get practice in on that one,” Bryant remarked.

“Mae and I are probably the two people who get to the free-throw line the most,” Haner added, “so we really need to focus on finishing our free throws … The Metro

Alexis Troy led the Monarchs with 13 points and Madison Pond added seven, but the squad from Longview struggled mightily with turnovers and missed layups. In a foul-filled game, Mark Morris converted 18 of 30 (60 percent) at the line.

EC returns to league play Jan. 4 against Chief Sealth, and has games against Nathan Hale and Holy Names in the week after that. The Crusaders will try to grow their confidence in games that’ll determine their postseason fate.

“I think we’ll get better,” Bryant said. “We had, obviously, a horrible start … but we won two games, so we’re kind of getting back into how we were last year.”
