First steps Encompass Executive Director Nela Cumming talks about goals, growth, love for new role BY CAROL LADWIG Staff Reporter
What Encompass is best known for is its work with children and families, particularly low-income families and children with developmental struggles. Business strategy and innovation probably don’t make the top of the list, and that’s just fine with Nela Cumming, executive director of Encompass. To her, Encompass is its staff, and they are “very, very knowledgeable about early childhood development and developmental therapies, and they love kids. That’s the most important part.” Don’t think the cold hard analytical business functions are forgotten, though. Cumming just puts them into their rightful place, in serving the organization’s higher priorities.

Nela Cumming, Encompass executive director, works at her office in December. The Valley-based preschool and children’s organization serves more than 1,000 children, but is eager to help the many more children who need its services. “We’re very proud of the fact that we’re for every child,” says Cumming, executive director. “If your child has special needs, we’re great at that. If your child is typically developing, we’re still great at that. Anything, for any kind of
child, we’re trying to be the go-to.” Until earlier this year, Cumming herself specialized in early learning for children with developmental challenges, as the director of pediatric therapy. She was named the interim executive director in July,
when directory Gregory Malcolm left the organization for an opportunity with Swedish Hospital, and the Encompass board made her role official Dec. 1. SEE ENCOMPASS, 5

and was attacked and killed by the bear outside. • Retired North Bend forest ranger and school board member Rudy Edwards recalled his days in Swaziland and South Africa, after South African statesman Nelson Mandela’s death in late 2013. Edwards taught at a Swazi school in the 1970s, as part of the Peace Corps with his wife, Connie, and navigated the region’s byzantine, segregated racial systems. Years later, he witnessed the vote that ended Apartheid. • Former management of Mount Si Food Bank split off and formed their own organization, Snoqualmie Valley Food Bank, taking over the location next to the North Bend Library. The Mount Si Food Bank brand moves to a new location, the former sheriff ’s office on Boalch Avenue, run by Snoqualmie Valley Ministerial Association. • Diane Larson, 36, of Snoqualmie was pursuing her goal of helping children when she fell to her death on a hike Saturday, Jan. 25, on Headlee Pass in the Cascades. The experienced snow-shoer was on her first hike with Climbers with a Purpose, a group raising funds to help refugee children in Burma when she fell, in what fellow climber Will Neiss described as “just one of those freak accidents.”

February • Boxley’s club owners Danny and Robyn Kolke turned their restuarant over to the Boxley Music Fund, the non-profit organization they founded in 2010. It was part of a master plan to keep jazz flowing for many years to come. Keeping education and performance was why the club changed from a business to a non-profit.

• Marty and Chris Fagan have climbed mountains, run hundred-mile races, and, last month they skied together to the South Pole, in minus-50 degrees Fahrenheit. Extremes of the environment and endurance are familiar ground, maybe even favorites, for the North Bend couple, but what they really love, what motivates them, are simpler things: their 12-year-old son Keenan; the friends and community who helped them reach their South Pole goal; the chair that was waiting for each of them at the end. • All of the school levies on ballots in the Snoqualmie Valley appear to be passing with more than 60 percent support in the Feb. 11 election. • King County Sheriff’s deputies sought tips in the death and abandonment of a newborn in woods between North Bend and Snoqualmie on Wednesday, Feb. 12. The baby was found by a person walking nearby, in the woods near the Kimble Creek Bridge about 10 feet away from the edge of North Bend Way. The case remains unsolved.
March • The 40-year relationship between North Bend and the King County Sheriff ended at midnight, March 7, when the Snoqualmie Police Department began covering the city. • As one era closed, another opened at the Snoqualmie Fire Department, where Mark Correira started the year as the new fire chief. Outgoing chief Bob Rowe lingered for a while in the role of battalion chief as Correira got settled. “Titles don’t mean that much to me,” said Rowe, who retired in the spring. • Snoqualmie/North Bend police and a regional detective attempted to solve a stabbing and sexual assault March 9 at a North Bend restaurant. Officers found a woman who had been stabbed once in the chest, duct taped at her feet and wrists, and sexually assaulted. SEE REVIEW, 3

REVIEW FROM 2
• Snoqualmie cut the ribbon on Jeanne Hansen Community Park on Snoqualmie Ridge on Sept. 6. The late Hansen, mayor of Snoqualmie from 1987 to 1997, was a master of transformations, according to her colleagues. She shepherded the development of Snoqualmie Ridge, and died in 2001, before she could see the changes she wrought. • Snoqualmie United Methodist Church celebrated its 125th anniversary, with a celebration under a maple tree, and the launch of a series of community dinners. • It took more than a year, but the Snoqualmie Valley Administrative Secretaries Association now has a new employment contract.
• Carnation’s new police officer is back. Scott Allen, who got his first job in law enforcement 17 years ago with Carnation’s police department, is once again patrolling the city, this time as both a King County Sheriff’s Deputy and Carnation’s dedicated full-time cop. • Mount Si High School’s Freshman Campus was passing its first-semester checkup. Compared to the prior year, discipline issues were down, so were failing grades. • For the new cops in North Bend, there’s no substitute for boots on the ground. So Snoqualmie Police Chief Steve McCulley had the six officers assigned to his department’s inaugural North Bend police patrol, plus extra officers from the home station, park their cars whenever possible and hit the streets and shops for some old-fashioned community policing. • Locals, adults and kids alike, threw themselves into fundraisers to benefit the victims of the Oso Mudslide of March 22, which killed 43 people. As rescuers dug for survivors in Oso, the effort drew national attention and local compassion. The Valley’s ‘Voice’ contestant, Austin Jenckes, also helped mudslide victims with fundraiser show.

April • Mount Si High School’s 20-member Jazz I band got word that they were going to Essentially Ellington, the high school jazz festival hosted annually by Jazz at Lincoln Center. “I essentially gave the students a kind of proposal,” band teacher Matt Wenman said. “If you really want to do this, we’re going to really throw ourselves into it… so that without a doubt our audition is the best we could possibly have done.” • Two men were hospitalized April 15, after an argument turned physical in North Bend, one with a stab wound, the other with injuries sustained while attacking the other. None of the injuries were life-threatening, said Snoqualmie Police Captain Nick Almquist. • The blast that woke North Bend in the predawn darkness on Friday, April 25, was centered on the former Pizza Place restaurant at 540 East North Bend Way, shuttered for years but recently under remodel construction. Nothing of the restaurant was left after a huge explosion tore the building to bits, hurling beams and pipes dozens of feet in all directions, and coating much of North Bend, for a quarter of a mile or more, with bits of insulation and debris. Concussive forces from the blast twisted and shifted nearby buildings and shattered windows. Amazingly, only one person was reported hurt—a resident of Red Oak suffered a hand laceration from flying glass.
May • In the early morning of Tuesday, May 13, 25,000 hatchery-raised juvenile steelhead had joined the wild fish migration down the Snoqualmie River. Per state rules, that wasn’t supposed to happen. The Tokul Creek Hatchery fish were intended for release in eastern Washington lakes. • At the North Bend Theatre, owners Jim and Cindy Walker created a walk of fame with stars in the sidewalk, concluding the successful ‘Save Our Theatre’ campaign. The public donated $100,000 for a new projector system to bring the theater into the digital age, in return for sponsorships and goodies, and the thrill of keeping the independent moviehouse alive.
June • Snoqualmie couple Doug and Kristin Walsh were on their way in a world-wide adventure. Their goal is to ride their bicycles basically around the world, to discover amazing cultures, sample exotic foods, and see places they’ve only
read about, in a trip they estimate will take about three years. • Members of the Snoqualmie Valley Beekeepers Association transplanted a wild hive into Snoqualmie resident Jerri Johnson’s backyard bee box. A new queen got to work and the hive grew to 50,000 bees. “My goal is to make sure they make it through the winter. So, any honey they make, they keep,” Johnson said.
on the bank of Snoqualmie River, in the $4 million Upper Carlson floodplain project. Concerned with “the three F’s,” fish, farms and flooding, the project includes demolishing a 1,600-foot stretch of the 80-year-old levee on the north bank and setting it back from the river on the county-owned Fall City Natural Area, improving a side channel that the river historically follows in flood events.

• King County Public Hospital District No. 4, the rural district centered on Snoqualmie, considered selling its hospital and clinics to Overlake. The district’s board of commissioners approved a letter of intent to negotiate a sale at their Thursday, July 3, regular meeting. The sale, which later fell through, was explored to ensure Valley health care stayed competitive. • Things were slow at first at the newly opened Carnation Public Food Bank, where locals collected needed food and clothing items or dropped off donations, or just chatted. That’s pretty much what founder Fred Vosk had in mind when he envisioned the re-opening of the former tribal food bank. • George Macris loved his city, and he loved the summertime festival. There is no doubt that if George were alive today, he’d be all over the North Bend Block Party, selling cookies and bread, or mingling with the crowd. Macris, the namesake of George’s Bakery, founded his business 50 years ago in July. • Dirt was turned for the first time in decades
• After a top-10 showing in TV’s “The Voice,” local musician Austin Jenckes returned to North Bend for a MainStage show during the weekend’s Festival at Mount Si. • The proposed North Bend hotel development, along Bendigo Boulevard, started construction. The eight-acre site will be cleared and graded in preparation for construction next year. • Smokey Joe’s and one of its bartenders will appear in an independent film some time in 2015. “Captain Fantastic,” starring Viggo Mortensen as a man forced to return himself and his family to life “on the grid” after years in isolation, set several scenes in the Snoqualmie bar, owned by Jim and Pamela Leland. Bartender Diane Sheets appeared in several scenes with Mortensen.
September • Mount Si High School starts fall sports facing a new set of challengers, now that the school is ranked 4A.
• A 28 year-old North Bend man who caused a fiery four-vehicle collision on Interstate 90 was hospitalized at Harborview Medical Center. Two other drivers suffered less serious injuries. • North Bend’s new Visitor Information Center was officially unveiled in the autumn. The new tourist stop and art gallery won’t just stoke newcomers’ interest in the city and its natural attractions, it’s also part of downtown’s new outlook. • Voters will decide on a $246 million school bond in the Snoqualmie Valley School District in February. The district’s board of directors voted 4 to 1 on Oct. 9 to proceed with a bond, slightly revised from the proposal under discussion for the past year. • Worldwide, fans of the 1990-91 television show “Twin Peaks,” celebrated when a longawaited season three was announced, to air on Showtime in 2016.
November • Northwest Railway Museum is looking forward to a steam revival, now that the organization has begun restoration on its Locomotive 924. • Alexander Anderson, a North Bend teen, has developed a formula to more consistently calculate the efficiency of a wind turbine, a process that he and his parents, Alex and Olga, perfected over many years of experimentation. • Students at Mount Si High School wore Marysville Pilchuck colors and gathered after school Thursday, Oct. 30, for a group photo. The photo, along with flowers and a signed poster, are a show of support for the students of Marysville Pilchuck High, following the tragic shootings at the school Oct. 24. • Snoqualmie Police and an allied SWAT team captured the suspect in two armed robberies in North Bend, following a seven-hour siege of a downtown Snoqualmie apartment Nov. 7. • A masked man hiking along the damp, rocky shore of the South Fork of the Snoqualmie River, put an early end to a wildlife study meant to make highway driving safer. The man, armed with a steel bar, is the suspect believed to have stolen nine video cameras installed along the I-90 corridor near North Bend on Nov. 10. The cameras tracked wildlife activity around the freeway, in a study that started in 2010.
December • Two Mitchells and a VanWinkle from the Mount Si High School football program had a college reunion of sorts in November, when Oregan State University, with starting center Josh Mitchell, faced the University of Washington and team place-kicker Cameron VanWinkle. The younger Mitchell, Nick, was a red-shirted OSU freshman quarterback, watching from the sidelines. • Snoqualmie unleashed winter magic for the holiday season, with a grand opening event for its synthetic ice rink, a melt-proof portable sheet of “ice” that will give families a chance to experience the magic of ice skating this holiday season.

It’s time to build the schools we need
A
year ago, in this column, I called for an answer to some basic questions on the latest school bond plans. Among them: Why not build a separate high school? Why not build another middle school and keep the freshman campus? How do we know this is all we’ll need? In this, my last editorial column, I’d like to share some of the answers I have learned, as they relate to the proposal that is now before voters, coming to you in ballot form in a matter of weeks. It’s true that I am a short-timer, and by election day, will no longer pay any taxes in this district. But I have to ask: How long can the Valley continue to kick the can down the road when it comes to Mount Si High School? Yes, this is a big bond, $246 million total, $188 million for the high school, certainly nothing to sneeze at. Rebuilding Mount Si where Mount Si is today comes with significant costs, and the design process still needs to happen. But the votes we’ve seen over the past eight years tell me that Valley residents do want a single high school: They want to keep Mount Si as the magnet school, the keystone, if you will, of our entire Upper Valley. SETH TRUSCOTT In 2007, and again in 2008, Valley Record Editor Valley voters rejected the secondhigh-school premise. In 2011, voters twice rejected the replacement middle school plan that would have made a ninth grade campus a permanent thing. While cost always is a factor, I believe that the wish to keep a single Mount Si campus was also a big part of those defeats. Today’s bond plan finds a compromise on the freshman campus. Under the plan, freshmen get their own building, where they get kind of attention that sets them up for success, while staying part of the overall Mount Si campus. It’s an elegant solution. The bond provides capacity for more than a decade, perhaps 20 years. That’s a far cry from earlier proposals that would have been full by completion, a total nonstarter. Importantly, we don’t need to build another middle school if we do this, because it gives us the former Snoqualmie Middle School back. We basically get a middle school for free. I have always stressed community input in the bond process. We’ve had more than a year of discussion, including community forums, before we got here. More is needed, and more will happen. Two community tours of the existing high school are planned in January, and for residents, this is your best way to get up to speed and ask questions about Mount Si’s infrastructure and crowding issues. It’s been hard in the Valley to pass high school bonds. One might argue that it’d be easier to do this in pieces: One part of the campus one year, another the next, and so on. But there’s a price for that. The chaos of construction lasts for more years. Costs rise. One wonders how coherent a piecemeal high school would be in terms of design, usability, appearance. As for that second high school, I don’t think the Valley is ready for it. And, aside from the costs of construction, you have all the additional staffing and maintenance and transportation costs, the duplication: doubled programs, admin, teams and coaches and fields, buses, you name it—millions of dollars in redundancy. It would split the community. Mount Si is our center and needs to stay that way. We’re already big, already 4A, and we’re handling it, but like a crab outgrowing its shell, we need some space. As a whole, this bond is a chance to add needed capacity at elementary, middle and high school levels that we needed. It’s taken years to get here. Years of discussion. Years of near misses at the polls. It’s time. Vote yes. Build the schools that the Valley deserves.

Dear Seth, thank you for all the years you’ve reported about what is happening in our beautiful Snoqualmie Valley. I’ve seen you just about everywhere, and you’ve done a wonderful job. You will be missed. But enjoy your journey. It will be a new, beautiful chapter in your life. Thank you for covering Snoqualmie Arts Commission events, and Mount Si Artist Guild events.

OUT of the
PAST This week in Valley history:
Thursday, Dec. 28, 1989 • Snoqualmie City Council last week adopted a fighting stance regarding the Snoqualmie Ridge annexation proposal. At the same time, the city is allowing for a cooperative approach if King County signs the interlocal agreement on plan. The proposal is now before the state hearing board, which will decide to keep, modify or deny the plan by early April.
Thursday, Dec. 31, 1964 • Ground rescue teams dispatched at daylight had not reached the two persons believed to be alive on the north side of Mount Si, where their small civilian plane crashed Tuesday. • An attempt to break into the Gateway Cafe in North Bend on Christmas Eve after the restaurant closed failed when the would-be intruder was startled by the voice of Marty Gates, night bartender. He heard a noise in back, called out, “who’s there?” and found the rear door lock jammed.

Save the date: Tolt flooding focus of Jan. 15 community meeting The King County Flood Control District and the Snoqualmie Watershed Forum host a community meeting and open house on Thursday, Jan. 15, in Carnation about the Tolt River Corridor Action Plan—a flood-risk reduction project underway to improve public safety and salmon habitat while keeping long-term river management costs down. Set for 6:30 p.m. in the Commons Room at the Tolt Middle School, 3740 Tolt Ave., Carnation, the meeting will begin and end with a half-hour open house so residents can talk with the project team, provide input on experiences with flooding and share their priorities for the river. The main presentation starts at 7 p.m. and includes findings from a recently completed technical study of the lower Tolt River’s existing con-

ditions, such as flood hazards, transportation access and habitat quality. The study area includes a six-mile stretch of the river from the confluence of the Tolt and Snoqualmie rivers to the end of Tolt River Road Northeast and 361st Avenue Northeast. “I encourage those who live near the Tolt River to attend this meeting and let their concerns and suggestions be heard,” said King County Flood Control District Supervisor Kathy Lambert, who will be attending the meeting. The next phase of the project is to evaluate possible river management actions such as setting back or removing levees; acquiring property from willing landowners to allow flood channel movement with lower risk to people; and altering or improving roads or bridges.

Now, she plans to lead the organization into an era of growth in critical areas. “We are really the thought leaders for early learning in the area,” she said. For instance, Encompass has the only preschool program in the Snoqualmie Valley that is accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children, she said. She hopes to expand the preschool program— Encompass currently has three classrooms—as well as their many in-home programs, and notes that the organization is also working with the state on a test curriculum for improving executive function (the parts of the brain involved in impulse control and decision making) for children at day cares and preschools. The direction, she says, came from her and the

board’s work on next year’s $3.5 million budget. “We looked at really focusing our resources into our core areas,” she said. “We’ve really looked at ‘What does Encompass do best?’ And what we do best is children, young children and their families. “We either provide the best early education programs for young children in our preschool toddler and parenting classes, or the best developmental therapy for children with special needs.” Encompass currently serves about 1,500 children in 1,000 families, in some form of education, but it’s not even close to enough, says Cumming. “The worst thing in the world is to get a kid in preschool, or to get a child in pediatric therapy clinic, at 4 years old, who really could have used our help a long time ago,” she said, “and that still happens.” “The stats are generally that 3 percent of any birth population will need early intervention,” she said. “Three percent is a lot of the birth rate, and we’re not serving that, in King County.” They are reaching about 2 percent of the birth rate, she said, and looking to grow it, through strategic planning that will start soon. Many programs are funded through state grants, and early learning is a hot topic at the state level now “thank, goodness,” she says, but programs such as the Birth to Three intervention program haven’t been funded at a level that keeps up with the population growth or the need. Encompass will also need to look at its use of space soon, since growth is on the horizon at every level. Cumming is absolutely confident in the programs and the need, but she does grimace a little at the thought of funding it all. “I think it’s a huge responsibility, she said, but I could not love this job more.” Learn more at www. encompassnw.org.

...obituaries Jack P. Scholfield Jack P. Scholfield was born on January 4, 1920, and passed peacefully just shy of his 95th birthday, on December 11, 2014 at 2 pm in the presence of his immediate family. Jack grew up and attended public schools, including high school and Junior College in Fort Scott, Kansas. He received a Bachelor of Science in Education from Kansas State Teachers College in Pittsburg, Kansas in 1941. After working a short time for the Retail Credit Company in Kansas City and Joplin, Missouri, he enlisted in the Naval Flying Cadet program in November 1941, and reported for active duty on December 18, 1941 at Fairfax Field, Kansas City, Kansas. From there he went to Pensacola, FL for additional training and was certified a Naval Aviator on September 21, 1942. Jack flew a Gruman Avenger (torpedo bomber) with Air Group VC 38 in the Solomon Islands campaigns and was awarded a Distinguished Flying Cross for skip bombing and sinking a Japanese freighter in Simpson Harbor, Rabaul on February 17, 1944. Jack joined VF(N) 91 in the fall of 1944, retrained as a Night Fighter pilot and few an F6F5(n) while his squadron was attached to the aircraft carrier, Bon Homme Richard, flying numerous combat air patrols and strafing missions at night until the end of WWII. Jack entered the University of Washington School of Law on January 2, 1946 and graduated in June of 1948. He served as a Business Manager of the Washington Law Review for the academic year 1947-1948. Jack often spoke of his law school days and acquaintances made there as among his life’s most enjoyable experiences. He commenced the practice of law with George Guttormsen and was later a partner in Guttormsen, Scholfield, Willits and Ager. The firm name was later changed to Scholfield and Stafford, and was until recently Stafford Frey Cooper. Jack was appointed to the King County Superior Court by Gov. Dixie Lee Ray and was sworn in on September 30, 1977. He was elected to the State Court of Appeals and commenced service in that Court in 1982. He served two six-year terms, retiring in January 1995. While on the Superior Court he served as Presiding Judge for one year. He served a term of two years as Chief Judge of Division One of the Court of Appeals. During his years of law practice, he became involved in Seattle-King County and State Bar activities, serving on numerous committees and was elected and served a term as President of the Seattle-King Co. Bar Association in 19711972. He was elected a Fellow in the American College of Trial Lawyers in 1972. In keeping with his interest in law and community affairs, Jack served on the Board of Trustees and as President of
Felice Mackey
the Mercerwood Shore Club. He was the first president of the Washington Defense Trial Lawyers in 1962-1963. He also served the Executive Corps of Washington as a volunteer consultant and as a member of the Board of Directors from 1996-2000. After retiring from the Court of Appeals in January 1995, Jack joined the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Service, serving as a mediator and arbitrator until June 30, 2011. Commencing in 2001, he served as volunteer attorney with the Eastside Legal Assistance Program (ELAP) conducting legal clinics designed to give legal advice and guidance to low income families, and in 2003 was named its Volunteer Attorney of the year. He was elected to the ELAP Board of Trustees in January 2004. Jack also served on the Washington State Bar Association Pro Bono and Legal Aid committee for two terms commencing on October 1, 2002. Judge Scholfield was justifiably proud of the published summary of his rating as a Superior Court Judge by lawyers of the Seattle-King County Bar Association in 1980, which read: “Very high. Among top two judges in court conduct and judicial temperament. Ranks among the top three in legal understanding, issue resolution, decision quality and impartiality. Third in overall performance.” Jack met his wife, Lucille Templeton, in El Centro, CA, while his squadron was stationed there in the summer of 1943 for experimental night flying work. They were married in the Memorial Presbyterian Church, West Palm Beach, FL on July 18, 1944. They had two sons, James and Donald. Donald died of cancer in September 1980, and James lives with his wife Margaret Booker in Los Gatos, CA where he is employed as an engineer with the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute. Jack is also survived by a granddaughter, Samantha Scholfield, a graduate of UCLA. Jack was preceded in death by his sister, Ruth Bloodworth, his mother LuLynn Scholfield and his father John P. Scholfield. Jack is interred next to his son Donald and his wife of 70 years, Lucille, at Sunset Hills Memorial Park in Bellevue. Jack had a lifelong interest in history and especially enjoyed reading about the Civil War and WWII. He was an avid golfer and was a member of the Men’s Club at Bellevue Municipal Gold Club and Public Links Seniors of Washington for many years. He and his late wife, Lucille, also enjoyed tennis and were members of the Bellevue Club. Jack and Lucille were members of the Mercer Island Presbyterian Church since 1958. Jack’s favorite scripture: “He has told you, O Mortal, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God.” – Micah 6:8 Remembrances may be sent to Wounded Warriors, the Alzheimer’s Association and/or Providence Hospice of Seattle. A celebration of Jack’s life will be held on Friday January 9, 2015 in the courtyard room at the Mercer Island Presbyterian Church from 1P-4P. 1207622

Finding the hustle Cedarcrest girls team steps it up to get needed Hazen win BY SETH TRUSCOTT Editor
The Red Wolves girls needed a win, and they got one, delivering with strong defensive play and a rain of three-point buckets by senior Megan Ditore. Cedarcrest hosted Hazen on Saturday afternoon, Dec. 20. The girls won 57-23, to get their second win of the season. Ditore led the Red Wolves with 21 points, all three-pointers. Freshman point guard Haley Hill and the two Townley sisters, senior Luann and freshman Elaine, each had eight points. “We did everything better tonight,” head coach Brad Knowles said. The Red Wolves handled Hazen’s zone and girl-to-girl defense well. “We had a special meeting before the game,” the coach said. In the past two outings, Cedarcrest had fallen by one to Cedar Park Christian, 39-40, on Dec. 16, and 40-51 to Lakewood, on Dec. 19. “We knew we didn’t bring our A game,” Knowles said. “We talked about how we had to step up defense first, rebounding.” Against Hazen, Knowles was happy with defense and hustle. But he wants to see the girls dominate the rebounds and cut down on turnovers. The coach got to put in his entire complement, with younger players getting vital varsity experience for all of the fourth quarter. The Mount Si girls put on the “Every game is an improvement,” said 2015 Wildcat Classic basketball Hill, the starting freshman point guard, who tournament, Jan. 17 to 19, for could be seen pushing down the right for teams of girls in grades four the entire game.
