Overall projection of team’s chances in the Northeast A League: Bradbury recognizes his team probably won’t be in the running for a league title, based on the lack of many experienced players. “We hope to be as competitive as possible,” Bradbury says. “There are two other teams in the league, Chewelah and Riverside, that are considered ‘young’ – albeit, not anywhere close to being as young as Newport – and

BASEBALL: From Page 3B we hope to competitive with them.” Strengths: “We have a core group of kids that have great attitudes and enjoy participating together,” Bradbury says. Weaknesses: “We are extremely young and inexperienced. Our overall team levels of experience, physical maturity/athleticism, and baseball skill are very much in the developmental stages,” Bradbury says. “I believe there have been five different head coaches in the last five or six years.” He says while the district has been extremely supportive of this program, starting a junior high program last year, the majority of those “program building” behaviors and activities that an effectively proactive head coach should be engaged in have been sorely neglected – especially the development of pitching and catching. Bradbury says team goals are to learn and improve every day, encourage each other and enjoy baseball and achieve success. Achieving success will not be based on what the scoreboard says at the end of the day but goals will be based on short term individual and team goals that will be measured independent from the scoreboard, Bradbury says. For the
young players, which make up the majority of this team, this may be translated into a long term goal over the next two or three years that may be measured by the scoreboard and their record at the end of the season.
Head coach: David Bradbury Age: 41 Coaching experience: Bradbury was varsity baseball coach for Newport for one season in 1995. He was the varsity head baseball coach at Stanfield High School in Stanfield, Ore., from 1996-1998. He has also coached multiple years for T-Ball, Little League and Babe Ruth baseball. Bradbury has quite a bit of other coaching experience, including eight years as a football coach for YMCA, junior high school and high school teams. He has also coached basketball for seven years for YMCA, junior high school and high school teams, as well as serving as Newport’s golf coach from 2007-2012. Teaching experience: Bradbury works as a teacher/general manager for Newport High School and the KUBS FM radio station. He has worked 21 years as an educator, including time spent as a coach, teacher, athletic director and principal. He
ThE mineR
has been at Newport High School 11 years. Athletic experience: Newport fans may remember Bradbury from his days as a high school football player, when he was known as a bruising fullback. He started four years as a baseball and football player and one year as a basketball player. After high school, Bradbury went to Gonzaga University on a partial baseball scholarship, but never played an official game. After a year at Gonzaga, where he got a 3.8 grade point average, he says he realized he wasn’t a PAC 10 talent. He transferred to Eastern Washington University and focused on finishing his teacher degree, becoming a certified teacher at age 20. Bradbury also spent six years as a student as the KUBS Voice of the Grizzlies play-by-play basketball radio announcer. He did that from seventh through 12th grades. In fact, he didn’t play basketball his junior and senior years so that he could continue to be fulltime radio broadcaster. Assistant coaches: None – although, Bradbury receives occasional assistance from Tim Jurgens, a teacher at Sadie Halstead Middle School, and Scott Armstrong, the district’s maintenance director.
Top returnees: Seniors Rocky McDaniel, Harley Taylor, Cole Morse, Allen Walden, Curtis Phillips: juniors Ty McDaniel, Kaben Hastings, Brendan Geary, Cory Wylie; sophomores Rhianna Knorr, Sonja Moore, Darion Ralston, Dalton Arrand Top prospects: With 55 kids out for track, it would be hard to narrow this field down until they’ve had a few meets under their belts, Coach Pancho said. “With the effort the kids are putting in, there will be a lot of personal bests taking place throughout the year.” Key losses: This is Pancho’s first year as head coach so he said he is “unsure” of any losses. Overall projection of team’s chances in the Northeast A League: Pancho said the athletes work hard and have a genuine and strong work ethic. “I’m not certain what our chances are since it’s my first year, and honestly, we’re not really focused on that,” Pancho said. “Our priority is the dayto-day training, focusing on the demands of the tasks it takes to make improvements, and making significant improvements each day.” Strengths: Pancho said the kids are very coachable, hard-working and spirited. They are very supportive of one another, and he said that will make for a fun track season. Weaknesses: Pancho said the team has a lot of first time participants, which is a positive. However, he said the strengths of these athletes will not be known to the coaches for a few weeks.

Tuesday, May 5 vs. Northport: 2 p.m. - Selkirk
Overall projection of team’s chances in the Northeast 1B North League: The boys have some strong sprinters and the girls excel at hurdles.

Strengths: Coach Vermeulen said they have strong short distance sprinters for the boys for the 100-400 meters. She said they have girls who excel at the 100-300 meter hurdles. The team also has returning throwers who will be excellent mentors for

the young team, she said. Weaknesses: The team is young and more than half are new to track this year. Additional comments: “This year’s team has bonded well together,” Vermeulen said. “They have been working hard in the field developing their individual skill sets and in the weight room with strength and conditioning. We look forward to coaching this group of young athletes.”

Top returnees: No seniors returned; Abbie Christman is the only returning junior and Lexi Ellsworth is the sole returning sophomore. Top prospects: Christman and Ellsworth are the top prospects for a young team. Most of the team is made up of freshmen and eighth graders, a top prospect has to emerge from that group. Key losses: The Rangers graduated three and six moved away. Overall projection of team’s chances in the Northeast 1B North League: “We’ll be in the hunt,” coach Mondich said.
Paige Raymond Eighth grade
Strengths: “They’re not afraid to work,” Mondich said. Also, the middle school program has been strong, so the players who move up have had middle school experience. “They never lost,” he said.
Weaknesses: Pitching may be weakness, Mondich said, as the two starting pitchers form last year moved away. The team is also young. Head coach: Mike Mondich Age: 46 Coaching experience: Mondich helped coach middle school softball for three years. This is his second year coaching the Rangers. Occupation: Mondich works as an electrician for the PUD at Box Canyon Dam. Athletic experience: Mondich played four years of varsity baseball, basketball and football for Selkirk.

Overall projection of team’s chances in the Intermountain League: Coach Hughes said the boys have a very young team, but a hardworking group. He said they should be a contender for a top two finish in the IML league. For the girls, Hughes said graduation hit them hard and they are in a rebuilding phase. He said they have quality in the athletes they have, but depth will hurt the girls in the league. Strengths: Senior distance and depth for the boys, Hughes said. Weaknesses: The girls’ numbers are way down,
and the young age of the boys team.
