OVERALL PROJECTION OF TEAM’S CHANCES IN THE INTERMOUNTAIN LEAGUE: Coach Douglas said the players are hard workers. He said they are young this year overall, but feels they can make a competitive run this year in league. STRENGTHS: Coach Douglas said the athleticism and work ethic is good, which allows them to have players play multiple positions. WEAKNESSES: Coach Douglas said the pure number of kids on the team this year is a weakness. They will have to stay healthy to compete at a high level by the end of the year. ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: “This combination of players this year while being low in numbers, might just be one of those teams that really can bring it together to achieve something great as a true team effort,” Douglas said. “The players know we have to be in great shape and be able to fill in at multiple positions to achieve our goals.”

VOLLEYBALL TOP RETURNEES: Senior Crystal Cronoble; juniors Lauren McGeorge, Dana Riggleman, Chelsea Crocker, Mackenzie McAnerin; sophomore Lexy Ellsworth TOP PROSPECTS: The Rangers’ new coach Pam Zimmerman didn’t list any newcomers that would be top prospects. TOP PROSPECTS: “We have a new setter in Lauren McGeorge,” says the Rangers’ new coach Pam Zimmerman. “Lauren is smart, fast and will do a great job in that position. Lexy Ellsworth is strong all around and will be our number one hitter.” KEY LOSSES: Selkirk volleyball lost three seniors to graduation, Bryanna Sargent, Abby Carrasco and Josie Miller. The loss of Carrasco, an all league player, will be felt. OVERALL PROJECTION OF TEAM’S CHANCES IN THE NORTHEAST 1B NORTH LEAGUE: Zimmerman said the team’s goal this year is to play in post season.
STRENGTHS: “We have several return players that have a lot of court experience,” Zimmerman says. “We also have a wonderful group of younger players that show great potential for this year and the next several years.” WEAKNESSES: “We needed to replace two setters this year,” Zimmerman says. “That is never easy. The new setters are doing a great job, but there is a learning curve with any new setters.”

Cusick volleyball wins first Selkirk contest BY DON GRONNING OF THE MINER
CUSICK – The Cusick Panthers swept Selkirk in three sets Tuesday, Sept 16, winning 25-17, 25-20, 25-17. “Both teams came out strong and competitive and played well for it being their first match,” Cusick coach Ashley Keogh said. Cusick started strong, running up a 11-3 first set lead. Cusick would not have been the choice of opponent for Selkirk coach Pam Zimmerman. She didn’t have her entire team eligible for competition, as some players didn’t have the minimum number of practices. “They’re all eligible for the next game,” Zimmerman said. Zimmerman said the girls were a little nervous

showed strength at the net, but that Cusick’s serving was superior. Selkirk came back from the 11-3 first set deficit to make the second set more competitive but still lost 25-17. They played stronger the next set, falling to Selkirk 25-20 before losing the final set 25-17. Zimmerman said the Rangers graduated their experienced setters. Lauren McGeorge, a junior,
did well in her new position, she said. “She’s been stepping up,” Zimmerman said. She had a pair of kills in the match. Lexy Ellsworth had four kills for the Rangers. Keogh said both teams will be competitive in the Northeast 1B North League. The teams are scheduled to play each other again Nov. 1 in Selkirk.

contestant to win money in more than one event. The saddle bronc riding was split between Jacob Stacy of Ephrata and Dustin Hobbs of Wenatchee. Hobbs accepted a re-ride when his horse didn’t buck hard enough the first time. He scored 80 points to tie with Stacy on his re-ride horse, Painted Warrior. Stacy rode a horse called Blond Bomber. Each collected $560. Caleb Nichols won third and $320 for a 75-point ride and Lewiston’s Cody Brauchner won fourth with a 79, winning $160. Bull riders had it hard, with only two qualified rides. Jace Berg of Colville
rode Big Enough to take the win with a 77-point ride. Caleb McMillan won second with a 73-point ride. Berg was the high money winner of the event, cashing a check for $1,050. McMillan won $700. The mutton busting made its debut at the Rough Stock Invitational, after it was so popular at the Bull-A-Rama. Each of the young contestants received a silver dollar and a participation plaque. Prior to the event, the Newport Rodeo Association named their 2015 Rodeo Queen, Johnna Fitzmorris. First runner up went to Crystal Cronoble, second runner up went to Brittaney Jackson and third runner up went to Brittany Biss.

doesn’t want to rush anything, so she’ll wait until game time to know for sure. Their loss was felt, but Cusick played better in their final match with TekoaRosalia. They lost the first match 25-20, then came back to win 27-25 and 15-10. “Cusick came out with much more fire in their final match against Tekoa-Rosalia, a very solid team,” Keogh said. That gave Cusick a 1-2 record for the tourna-
ment. “There are definite areas of improvement for Cusick but we feel confident those will be addressed and improvements will occur as the season continues,” Keogh said. Cusick played at Northport after deadline Tuesday. They will host Republic and Curlew Saturday, Sept. 20. They’ll host Inchelium for a Northeast 1B North League contest that will start at 5 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 23.
SOCCER: Played well in the first half FROM PAGE 1B
“There were not a lot of highlights in this one. Despite the score, we played well at times – particularly in the first half,” Lewis said. “They were a better, faster team but certainly gave us some ideas on how we want to look.” Iris Strangeowl was good in goal, as she
gets more experience, Lewis said. Stephanie Huang, Tiffany Huang , and Gracie Strangeowl all competed well and played hard. Newport started Northeast A League play Tuesday against Freeman Tuesday night, after The Miner went to press. They host Deer Park in another league game Tuesday, Sept. 23, at 4 p.m.

FOOTBALL: Newport had 59 plays FROM PAGE 1B
Grizzly junior Otis Smith completed a fouryard pass to junior Kyler Zorica, putting up the only Grizzly TD with 30 seconds left in the quarter. Senior David Quandt made the point after kick for the Grizzlies. Priest River dominated the fourth quarter with two more touchdowns. After a failed fourth down fake punt that included an incomplete pass on the Spartan’s 35-yard line, the Grizzlies handed the ball over with about seven minutes left in the game and a 7 to 6 lead. Farnam said the team ran a fake punt the first quarter without it being planned. He called the fake punt in the fourth quarter to keep the ball out of the Spartans’ hands, but it failed, setting up the Spartan go ahead touchdown. “That was more where I felt Priest River was moving the ball really well,” Farnam said. He said he didn’t want to give them a chance to score, which happened shortly after the failed conversion. Sophomore Spartan Anthony Storro ran in a 7-yard rush with about six and a half minutes remaining in the game. This put the Spartans up 12-7. Storro attempted a run for the two-point conversion but failed to make the endzone. Slinger had a 22-yard run with just under three minutes remaining in the game for the Spartans that made the final score 19-7. This time, Huntley made the point after kick for the Spartans. “In the second half, we controlled the ball much better and finished off some key drives,” Douglas said. “The line did an outstanding job blocking and picking up blitzing backers in the second half.” The Spartans had 229 yards in 54 plays. They had 165 rushing yards with 10 completed receptions and 11 first downs. Slinger and Storro led the team in rushing
with 12 carries each, gaining 129 yards and 25 yards respectively. Senior Jeremy MacDonald had six receptions earning 22 yards and senior Jeris Beaver had three catches for 31 yards. Slinger led the defense for the Spartans with eight and a half tackles. Senior Chance Stokes had seven tackles and two interceptions and Joseph Swartz and Benson Huntley each had six tackles. Junior Ethan Harrison also had an interception. “The game was a complete team effort, I give them all the credit,” Douglas said. “On Monday last week before the game, we had a total of just 12 varsity players suited down for one reason or another. These boys have really stepped up and took on many different roles and positions to help this team have success.” Newport had 93 yards in 59 plays. They had 46 rushing yards with seven completed passes and five first downs. Senior Dennis Fisher led the team in rushing with 24 attempts for 60 yards. Senior Chris Burgess caught two receptions for 50 yards. Seniors Rocky McDaniel had nine and a half tackles and David Quandt had seven and a half. “Besides a few defensive breakdowns, I felt we played well on that side of the ball,” Farnam said. Farnam said his team will work on competing during every down for the next game with Freeman. “We will work on limiting penalties, turnovers and costly mistakes,” Farnam said. The Grizzlies take on Freeman, Friday, Sept. 19 at 7 p.m. in Freeman. This is a Northeast A League game for Newport. The Spartans will have one week off before returning to play against Clarkston on Friday, Sept. 26 at 7 p.m. at home in a non-league game.
