Juniors provide Enumclaw spark Dec 01 2008, 7:41 PM When fans last saw the Enumclaw High boys basketball squad, the Hornets were playing Renton on the final day of the Class 3A state basketball tournament. Graduation takes bite out of state tourney team
Dec 01 2008, 7:41 PM If a girl’s basketball team ever reached the Class 3A state tournament exclusively on aggressiveness, heart and true grit, it was last season’s Enumclaw High’s ladies, who battled their way through loser-out affairs to the hoop extravaganza and ended the season with an overall mark of 18-10.
When the Hornet girls finally made it to the promised land they did not see any easy path, as they were pulverized by a hot-shooting Kamiakin High and Lakeside.
But that was last year, and Enumclaw will not be enjoying the services of the eight seniors it lost to graduation. It will not have the inspirational defensive play and aggressive offense of Katya Case, the 3-point bombs by Caitlin Clyde or the savage rebounding of Mileka Grager.
Hornets look to defend league titleDec 01 2008, 7:42 PM It won’t be easy for the Enumclaw High boys swim team to defend its South Puget Sound League 3A title and go undefeated again, but coach Ann Bettencourt believes she has the personnel to get the job done.
“We did well last year,” said Bettencourt, who as a last-minute replacement and first-year coach last season took the Hornets to their second straight undefeated season, team title and a repeat as the league meet champions. “We have a lot of experienced swimmers on the team that should do very well.”
If she has any concern it’s the league realignment. During the fall, the South Puget Sound League 3A lost Auburn and Auburn Riverside, but gained formidable Peninsula, which earned an 18th-place team finish at state, and Lakes. Toss in those teams that stayed like Sumner, Bonney Lake and Auburn Mountainview, and the Hornets will need to be on their toes.
Veterans will lead Lady Hornets into seasonDec 01 2008, 7:42 PM Five veterans return to the Enumclaw High girls wrestling squad and, with a year under its belt, the team plans to make an impact on the South Puget Sound League 3A and the state.
“We have a year of experience and it’s showing this week,” coach Jerry Scheidt said after an early practice. “We hope to advance some girls to the state tournament this year.”

Veterans return to lead HornetsDec 01 2008, 7:42 PM The White River High girls wrestling team will look to program veterans – senior Ashley Orr and junior Sam Lovelace – for leadership as the 2008-09 season gets under way.
