NSCIF Track Championships 2010 (21) front a

coffee-break-b.jpgCOTTONWOOD – Yreka’s Kevin Jorgensen smoked the competition in the 800m race at the North Section CIF championships on Friday at West Valley High School. Jorgensen held a slight lead after the first lap, but pulled a way midway through the second lap, winning in a time of 1:57.04. Red Bluff’s Devin Shoop was second (2:00.80). Jorgensen celebrated with a fist pump upon crossing the finish line, and a huge hug with coach Pam Borg after the medals presentation.

“I was nervous. I thought someone was right behind me. It most have been my shoe laces making noise,” said Jorgensen after being told about his large margin of victory.

Etna’s Emily Loogman and Taylor Lambert from West Valley entered the 300m Hurdles competition as co-favorite. Lambert had the top time in the event for most of the season, but Loogman held the top time early in the season and again part way through. Both runners turned in their best time of the season at the championships, with Lambert prevailing in 46.61. Loogman was second in 47.34. Loogman finished fourth in the 100m Hurdles, turning in a personal best of 16.55. Amanda Menschel of Wheatland won the event (15.84).

Lady Miner Carrie Scott, who received an at large bid to the championships, finished third in the Shot Put at 34-02.50. Shasta’s Jazmin Porter was the winner (39-10.75). (more…)

BookStore text click AprilYeah, I know it’s well into softball season, and basketball is a fading memory. But, I’m taking the opportunity during a relatively slow period to point out some of our female B-ball talent.

First, let me say that if you’re not on the list, it doesn’t mean you aren’t a good player, or I don’t like you. In fact, I left off several really good players that I think very highly of. But, there can only be 12 players on the “Dream Team,” and I’m picking not just on talent, but the ability to fill a role.

The team:

Butte Valley v Hayfork D-VI finals (20) front

yac-300-b.jpgCHICO – The Butte Valley Lady Bulldogs captured the NSCIF D-VI Crown on Friday afternoon at Chico State’s Acker Gym. It wasn’t easy.

After winning its first 22 games of the season in dominating fashion, second-seeded Butte Valley faced the top-seeded Hayfork Lady Timberjacks for the championship. The contest went back and forth for most of the first quarter and a half, with the teams exchanging leads four times. However, trailing 16-13, Hayfork went on an 11-0 run to close out the half and headed to the locker room with a 24-16 lead. The Lady Jacks seemed to be in total control.

For the Lady Bulldogs, the wheels hadn’t quite come off, but it appeared that the lug nuts were lose and the rims were rattling. As it turned out, that wasn’t the case. (more…)
