Bobby Reece III Kingston High School senior Bobby Reece III signed with Grand Canyon University Nov. 13. “We’re super excited to have him,” GCU head coach R.C. LaHaye said. “He’s Bobby going to Reece III be a great college wrestler.” Reece is a threetime state wrestling champion with the Buccaneers. He will attempt to become the second four-time champion in the area this winter. Grand Canyon University recently transitioned to the Western Athletic Conference, affiliated with the National Collegiate Athletic Association Division 1. The university was formerly Division 2. The university’s wrestling program started five years ago. There are about 30 wrestlers on the roster, but LaHaye looks to expand the team. Reece has been coached primarily by his father, Bobby, who said his son has “been out of his league for two or three years.” Reece plans to major in sports management. — Have a tip for Sidelines?

gram as well, but that goes against what she believes in. Capping the program would also mean many students would not be allowed to participate. Despite knowing they would not be in Zero Gravity this season, 30 students enrolled in the North Kitsap program in the first day, Goodfellow said. Enrollment in the program had increased as of Nov. 25, she said. Another alternative would be to lease space. Breidablik Elementary is empty, but the district will not open it for the program, Goodfellow said. District administrators have said they will not open up the elementary for temporary use because of the costs associated with it.
“It has slowed us down, but we will find a way to get the momentum going again.”
Continued from page A8 The team needed a runway and more mats. Goodfellow said some of North Kitsap’s equipment still sits in the former Zero Gravity facility. The alternative to the commons would be much less cost efficient, and potentially damaging to the program. If the team opted to continue to use a facility, it would require busing students to Silverdale or Bremerton. Busing would be a cost of about $300 per day, five days a week, an expense the district could not cover for the team, Goodfellow said. Goodfellow said she also could have capped the pro-

It isn’t unheard of for the gymnastics team to be housed in the school. Years ago, the team shared mats with the wrestling team, Goodfellow said. The district’s gymnastics program began in the 1960s at North Kitsap High School. The move to the commons could actually be beneficial for the cheerleading program. Cheerleading head coach Kristina O’Connor said having the gymnastics team might give

the cheerleaders access to more mats. There are also two students signed up for both programs, so this may allow them to stick with both through the winter season, she said. The commons were expected to be even more crowded Nov. 25. The Kingston Buccaneers were expected to begin practicing in the commons as well, but did not show up. The team is expected to join the North programs soon. The Bucs have practiced on foldout mats in a wing of the high school’s instructional building. The first week they were in the gymnasium, before basketball practice began. The Bucs are limited to working on basic tumbling and dance skills, according to head

coach Sheila Moore. The Bucs will move over to the North Kitsap Commons to have access to equipment. There is also a plan to have optional practices at Olympic Gymnastics Center in Silverdale to get time on a spring floor, according to Moore. The Bucs are making the best of a difficult situation. “We are doing everything we can to keep [gymnastics] alive in our community,” Moore wrote to the Herald. “I am thankful for the years of support by the district and the community, and I am looking at it as a hiccup. “It has slowed us down, but we will find a way to get the momentum going again.”
