DUNSMUIR – In between flashes of brilliance, the Dunsmuir Lady Tiger volleyball team showed their youth on Thursday night, as they fell, 3-2, to the Redding Adventist Lady Lumberjacks.

In the first set, it was Tiger brilliance that showed. Katie McIntyre, the lone senior on the squad, pummeled the Lady Jacks with seven kills, taking advantage of sweet setting by sophomore Jessica Hatten.

The set was close early, but with Dunsmuir holding an 11-8 advantage, frosh Chelsea Helms rotated to server and ripped an ace, making the score 12-8. Five serves later, including another ace, it was Lady Tigers 17 – Lady Jacks 8. After Redding Adventist added a couple of points, McIntyre went to work, with four kills in the final eight Lady Tiger points, as Dunsmuir went on to win 25-12. (more…)

The Siskiyou County Special Olympics team traveled to Yuba City last weekend to compete in the annual softball tournament. The Siskiyou Red Hots blanked Butte County 7-0 in the first game and defeated the Mendocino Yellow Jackets 14-13 in their second game. Through the course of the tournament each of Siskiyou’s athletes were able to put the ball in play, contributing to the Red Hots offense, a hefty feat for any team.

One of Siskiyou’s head coaches, Robert Girdner, praised the athletes dedication and fight commenting, “We were down 10-3 going into the 3rd inning against Mendocino when our bats finally came alive. Solid hitting and good base running resulted in our athletes scoring nine runs that inning.” (more…)

The Mt. Shasta Bears soccer team played a “friendly” against the Foothill Cougars on Tuesday in Palo Cedro, and came away with a hard fought 4-3 victory.

The Bears were first on the board in the 8th minute, with a break away goal by Austin Herrick. The Bears made it 2-0 in the 30th minute on a cross from Herrick to Andrew Campbell, who volleyed it in. The score stood 2-0 Bears at halftime.

The Bears have been able to hold their own in the first half against bigger schools in the past, but ultimately lost. This time it was different, eventually. (more…)

WEED – Tulelake’s Lexie Greenbank was ripping aces, and hammering kill shots on the opening night of high school volleyball in Siskiyou County, as the Lady Honkers swept the Weed Lady Cougars, 3-0 (25-12, 25-13, 25-23).

Tulelake took command of the match right from the opening of the first set. A kill by Madee Boyd put the Lady Honkers up 1-0. With the score 3-1 in favor of Tulelake, Greenbank rotated to server. By the time she was done, the Lady Honkers had rattled off eight service points, including six Greenbank aces. The score was 11-1.

Late in the first set, another Greenbank ace brought the Lady Honkers to the brink of victory, 24-11. Weed’s Osa Traylor put the celebration temporarily on ice with a block. However, Boyd nailed a kill shot to secure the set-one win, 25-12.

Tulelake led 2-1 on an ace and a kill by Gabby Rascon in the second set, when Geenbank took the serve. In a near replay of the first set, the Lady Honkers scored nine straight points with Greenbank behind the line. Michelle Rupert hammered a kill. Then, Greenbank accounted for seven of the next eight points, with a kill and six aces.

Down 24-11, Weed scored two in a row with Jeni Cheffey serving, including an ace. Rupert ended the second set with a block, giving Tulelake the 25-13 win. (more…)

It was a cool and cloudy day for the 11th annual Rachel Hanna Swim Olympics, but that did not deter the eager swimmers from coming out and having a fabulous day of fun. Over 100 parents and children attended the event and had a great day of swimming and competing in games such as Coin Wish Pond, Rubber Ducky Push and the Biggest Splash Contest.

The coveted Sportsmanship trophy was awarded to Maddie Meyer, daughter of Steve and Jennifer Meyer of Etna. Her name will be added to the plaque that remains in the lobby of Scott Valley Community Swimming Pool throughout the year. Several other participants were given Best Sportsmanship ribbons and ice cream certificates to Dotty’s in Etna. These winners are observed throughout the day by secret judges who select the children who exhibit good manners and kindness to others. These traits were some of Rachel Hanna’s most notable and this is how she is honored each year at the swim Olympics. (more…)
