SK’s Villarma advances to Westside Classic meet Junior was the Wolves’ only qualifier at league run By CHRIS CHANCELLOR Sports Editor
LAKEWOOD — A technicality will enable South Kitsap junior Mason Villarma to pursue his goal of qualifying for state. The top 20 finishers during Wednesday afternoon’s Class 4A Narrows League Cross Country Championships qualified for the Nov. 2 district meet.
WOLVES CONTINUED FROM A28
That gave Lincoln the ball at the Wolves’ 12, and Johnson scored two plays later on a 7-yard run. Kitna then connected with Johnson on a conversion pass for the game’s final score. South had another opportunity when it took over at its own 23 with 20 seconds remaining, but senior linebacker Ike Castro ended the game with an interception and give the Abes their first win in program history at Joe Knowles Field. It was a dramatic shift from the first half. After Kitna found sophomore wide receiver Alvin Johnson for a 6-yard touchdown pass, the Wolves responded with an 18-yard scoring throw from Canton to senior wide receiver Dylan Garcia late in the first quarter. South then capitalized on senior Kyle Carpenter’s interception. On the following play, Bell broke a 68-yard run down to Lincoln’s 2. DeWalt then opened the second quarter with a touchdown run to give the Wolves a 13-7 lead. They extended their lead to 20-7 at halftime when DeWalt capped a 10-play drive with a 4-yard touchdown run. That was one reason why it was so difficult for South to watch the lead dissipate during the second half. And, after seeing his team’s reaction to a 28-21 loss Oct. 5 at Olympia, it was refreshing for Eric Canton to see them upset. “Against Olympia, the bus ride home was a party,” he said. “You’re seniors and you’re pretty much out of the playoff run and you’re laughing and joking on the way home. “I’m not going to play Dr.
Villarma placed 21st in 16 minutes, 52.18 seconds. But South Kitsap coach Kathy Ballew said Villarma qualified for districts because teams are limited to bringing their top seven runners. Gig Harbor, which is ranked the No. 1 team in the nation by dyestat.com, had the top four placers, led by first-place Wolfgang Beck (15:06.75), and nine of the top 17 runners at Fort Steilacoom Park. “Gig Harbor is just phenomenal,” Ballew said. “Their times are just amazing.” Ballew thinks that bodes well for Villarma when he competes at the Westside Classic meet at
Phil on that one. I could not figure that out.” The players did not leave any emotional mysteries this time as the regular season winds down. South plays at 7 tonight at Stadium and then concludes the regular season Nov. 1 against Central Kitsap. “It was really competitive,” Whatley said. “Any time you lose that close it’s heartbreaking no matter what the stakes are.”

American Lake Veterans Golf Course. During that race, Villarma can earn a place at the Nov. 9 state meet at Pasco’s Sun Willows Golf Course. “He should get to state as well,” Ballew said. “Our league is that tough.” Villarma also feels the league meet should prepare him well for districts. “Hopefully, I’ll make a good state appearance this year,” he said. “I think with that strong of a league, I’ll be able to go to state.” Villarma is the only Wolves’ runner on both the boys and girls teams to qualify for districts.
Harvest fest
Isabelle Donovan (20:56.93), was South’s top female in 29th place. “It’s a young team,” Ballew said. “They really had a good year.” The Wolves’ only other opportunity to send more runners to the Westside Classic was to do so as a team. The top four boys and girls teams at the league meet advanced to districts. But South’s boys finished fifth, while its girls team was sixth.
