BOYS SOCCER

Bobcats 2, Wolves 0

Scoring both its goals in the final six minutes, league-leading Aberdeen reduced its magic number to one by blanking Black Hills on Tuesday night at Stewart Field

The Bobcats (7-1, 11-2) now lead Evergreen 2A Conference runners-up Black Hills and Tumwater by two games with two matches remaining. They can clinch the league crown with a win at Centralia on Thursday.

Although Aberdeen had the edge in scoring chances, the game was scoreless until the final six minutes.

Then Cesar Corona chipped a pass over the defense to teammate Miguel Torres. The senior forward outran three defenders and lofted a shot past the goalkeeper from 12 yards out.

Junior midfielder Tony Oropeza knocked in a 20-yard howitzer during stoppage time to complete the scoring. Luis Martinez assisted on the play.

Senior goalkeeper Alexis Garcia recorded his eighth shutout. His diving save on a long shot midway through the second half kept the game scoreless to that point.

“It was a smart and solid win for us and it showed that we can dominate a good team, keep up the high pressure and surrender very little ground on the defensive end,” Bobcat coach Larry Fleming noted.

In addition to Oropeza, Torres and Corona, Fleming cited the defensive play of Trevor Dawkins, Robby Lewis, Anthony Churlin and Dylan Hughes.

The junior varsity match ended in a 1-1 deadlock. Enrique Cuevas scored for the Bobcats, with Toby Courts and goalkeeper Luis Soto also cited for fine play.

GIRLS GOLF

Bobcats 193, Grizzlies 213

With three players scoring in the 40s, Aberdeen outdueled Hoquiam on Tuesday in the season’s second meeting of the Grays Harbor golf rivals.

Aberdeen’s MacKayla Waltee carded a 46 in the rain at Highland Golf Course to take medalist honors. Mari Rabung added a 47 and Emily May a 49 for the Bobcats.

The Bobcats would have scored 111 in the Stableford system, their method of scoring in the Evergreen 2A Conference.

“Having three girls in the 40s is a coach’s dream,” Bobcat coach Dan Sundstrom said. “MacKayla is playing some pretty good golf right now (and) Mari and Emily had solid rounds. The girls played awesome battling the rain and soggy conditions.”

Hoquiam coach Patty Sundstrom (Dan’s wife) was equally pleased.

“We are so proud of the girls,” she said. “We had our best team score so far.”

Bailey Smith topped the Grizzlies with a 51, while teammate Brooke Bogdanovich lowered her score significantly with a 52.

The Bobcats play their third match in as many days today at Tumwater. The Grizzlies face Montesano on Tuesday at Elma’s Oaksridge course.

Aberdeen (193) — Mari Rabung 47, Kate Slyter 51, Haley Farrer 56, Ryder Heikkila 51, MacKayla Waltee 46, Emily May 49.

Hoquiam (213) — Bailey Smith 51, Josie Emery 56, Jordan Cox 60, Brooke Bogdanovich 52, Alex Elledge 54, Megan Folkers 62.

ELMA — Montesano posted four scores of 52 or lower to come away with the victory over King’s Way Christian and Elma in a three-team Southwest Washington 1A League meet at Oaksridge Golf Course on Tuesday.

Montesano’s Macey Wecker posted a 48 to earn medalist honors for the match, while Mylaina Parker and Lauren Denholm each carded a round of 51 and Glory Grubb shot a 52.

“Those are pretty good scores overall, especially considering the fairly miserable conditions the girls had to play in,” Montesano head coach Lloyd Aldrich said. “Our consistency this season has really been outstanding.”

Elma was unable to field a full team, but was led by an 85 from Morgan Rhoden.

“Even though they knew we had to forfeit the match, they went out and battled the elements,” Elma head coach Rich Walker said. “They may not see it themselves, but they are much improved.”

Montesano travels to Tri-Mountain Golf Course to face La Center today, while Elma will travel to face La Center on Thursday.

Montesano (202) — Macey Wecker 48, McKenna Miller 56, Glory Grubb 52, Mylaina Parker 51, Lauren Denholm 51, Madelyn Prall 61.

MATLOCK — Allen Espinoza nearly completed a perfect game, striking out 12 for a no-hit game to help Lake Quinault to a Coastal 1B League win over Mary M. Knight on Tuesday afternoon.

Espinoza got through the fourth inning when a pop fly to short left field was hauled in by Jesus Mendoza. However, the home plate umpire ruled catcher’s interference to allow the batter to first base, breaking up the perfect game.

“Allen pitched really well,” Lake Quinault head coach Keith Samplawski said. “We made three great plays during the game (to save the no-hitter).”

Samplawski cited Mendoza, an eighth grader, for his work at shortstop, as well as Murray Cottrell for his defense and Anthony DeMarco for his work behind the plate to aid Espinoza.

On Monday, Lake Quinault (4-1, 6-2) returns to action at home against Chief Leschi.

Tenino broke open this game early with a 10-run first inning to roll past Hoquiam in an Evergreen 1A League game at Olympic Stadium on Tuesday.

The Beavers batted around for six hits and took advantage of five walks to put up 10 runs in the first frame and the Grizzlies never fully recovered.

“It was a tough night,” Hoquiam coach Steve Jump said. “Honestly, Tenino just outplayed us. After giving them ten runs in the first inning, I was happy with our attitude that we kept fighting.”

TRACK &FIELD

Pirate Classic

ADNA — South Bend’s boys and Willapa Valley’s girls put in some good work in the mist and the mud on Tuesday afternoon to take second place in their respective team results at the Pirate Classic in Adna.

Adna won both of the meet team titles with South Bend’s boys scoring 95 points, 23 behind the Pirates. Willapa Valley, with just six competitors, finished with 96 1/2 points in the girls meet.

“I’m pretty happy; it was a pretty good day,” Willapa Valley head coach Dave Ege said. “We didn’t have enough depth to catch Adna, but we only had six girls there and they all had very good performances.”

Brooke Friese won the 100m sprint and the 100m hurdles, with Hallee Layman winning the discus with a personal-best mark of 101-9 and Hannah Cook won the 300m hurdles.

For South Bend, A.J. Sanchez won the 100m sprint, the long jump and was a part of the winning 1600m relay team, which included Ben Byington, Seth Hall and Preston Lawhead.

Wishkah head coach Bob Eager cited Will Fultz for his performances in the sprints and the jump, as well as Brooke Haskey in the hurdles and the jumps.

“I was pleased with the kids’ progress under the conditions,” Eager added. “We had quite a few PRs today. It was a good meet for us.”
