Wolves win in a blow-out in Homecoming Game

Homecoming Week packed with events TAYLER BRADLEY SPORTS EDITOR

TAYLER BRADLEY SPORTS EDITOR This past weekend the Timberwolves had the big Homecoming game against the Highland Scotties. The team had a fun week with all of the festivities at school, but they were ready to hit the field and keep their winning streak alive. They had a great team dinner and bonfire the night before to get the whole team in the zone.

The big game started off with a big bang. Kade Baumberger handed the ball off to Caleb Smith, who snuck through the Scotties defense for a 75-yard run, ending in the Timberwolves’ first touchdown. The Scotties got the ball, but they were stopped by the big Timberwolves defensive line.

Goldendale got the ball back and worked it down the field. Caleb got another great handoff from Kade for a 32-yard touchdown run, putting the score at 13-0.

The defense had some effective stops from Riker Hanning and Sam Wilder and an amazing interception from James Hastings.

The ball got back into the Wolves hands where Kade and Caleb connected yet again with a hand-off for Caleb to run the ball 35 yards into the end zone, making the score 20-0. The Timberwolves got the ball back to their offensive line where Kade got the ball

GIMME A G!: Top, Homecoming Week spirit was at work during a wild tug of war at the high school. Above, Troy Carpenter at the Goldendale Observatory shot this picture of the giant G overlooking Goldendale through the Observatory’s 6” f/15 refracting telescope. The G was lit up for Homecoming.

Last week Goldendale High School was filled with great events as the 2021 Homecoming Week rolled out. All the students were very excited for the festivities. The students did things like decorate the halls, held the coronation, the dance, the football game, senior nights, and so much more. The school really tries to make it a great week for all the students.

To kick off the week, each class decorated their respective halls.

These were some of the best halls the school has seen. Walking down each was like entering a whole new world with each turn.

They all did a great job. Each day was a different theme, and the kids dressed up accordingly.

Some of the favorites were color wars, purple and gold day, blast from the past, and sorority/ fraternity day. The outfits were very creative, and the students really got into it.

At the beginning of the week, the Homecoming Court decorated the gym for coronation. It looked beautiful and ready for a magical night. Wednesday morning they practiced a few times and made sure they had it all just right before the big event. That night all the girls looked so gorgeous in their fancy dresses, with their hair all curled and make-up done.

New eviction resolution pilot program begins A new eviction prevention program requires tenants and landlords in Klickitat and Skamania Counties to try to resolve issues

of rent owed by working with an eviction resolution specialist before eviction cases (called unlawful detainer cases) may be filed in court.

The Eviction Resolution Pilot Program (ERPP) aims to stabilize housing and reduce a pending wave of unlawful detainer cases once the Washington state bridge proclamation ends, set to expire

October 31. A pilot program has been available in six counties since November 2020, and the program is now available statewide.

The ERPP connects tenants who are behind on rent with a team to problem solve together with their landlord, most often in some combination of rental assistance counseling, legal aid, and mediation. The landlord and

tenant may be able to access rental assistance, create a rent payment plan, or create a move-out plan, resolving rent owed issues without going to court. As part of this program, Six Rivers Dispute Resolution Center, the Gorge’s non-profit community mediation center, will provide free, facilitated conversations between landlords and tenants from Klickitat

and Skamania Counties. Washing-ton Gorge Action Programs (WAGAP), a multi-purpose human services organization, will provide qualifying tenants and landlords in these counties with the rental assistance funding piece. With this collaborative approach, many situations may be able to be resolved prior to involv-

Looking Back October 21, 1901 – 120 Years Ago Excitement prevails in Klickitat County over the coming sale of the townsite of North Dalles, [Dallesport] on the Columbia River by the sheriff to satisfy tax liens. The town was established in 1889 by Rev. O.D. Taylor and situated just across the Columbia River from The Dalles, Oregon. Rev. Mr. Taylor sold many lots throughout the east, particularly in Michigan, where he had formerly lived. He was subsequently arrested in Michigan for alleged fraudulent methods of selling the lots but was acquitted on a second trial. About 5,000 lots will be sold, the eastern investors losing everything.

October 16, 1941 – 80 Years Ago Modern in every detail, Mac’s Café will open this weekend at its new location in the Hudson building.

October 14, 1971 – 50 Years Ago Editorial: My friend Guy R. Ramsey, editor of Postmarked Washington, a history of post offices in Washington State, is an authority on the postal system as well as its offices. He recently sent me a letter in which he commented. “It may sound unrealistic, but I’ve been told by people in our postal system that in a few years all mail will move under numbers and that no names will need to appear. How true this is I don’t know but it rather frightens me. Already some large areas encompassing a number of towns and cities have been put under one zip code number. I’m told that in the future postal clerks will, for example, not know where Des Moines, Iowa, is but will recognize it only by its zip code number 503.”

October 24, 1991 – 30 Years Ago The artwork of Lyle and Lloyd Schwabauer is gaining Goldendale’s attention.

Their current project is a 16 by 16-foot mural in the Goldendale High School gymnasium. In the piece, three wolves stalk across a snow-covered field. Above them “Home of the Timberwolves” is blazed in Purple and Gold. The work was all volunteer and the paint was donated by the Goldendale Booster Club.

October 25, 2001 – 20 Years Ago Soroptimist International of Goldendale celebrated 30 years of service on October 9. A letter of congratulations was received by the club from the Soroptimist International President Nordelia Gradowski, according to Naomi Fisher, president of the Goldendale Chapter. SIA is the largest women’s business and professional service organization in the world whose services are to the community, women, and children. The organization’s theme is a “A Global Voice, A Global Vision.”

Opinion

An embodiment of grace and goodness

“People will forget what you said. People will forget what you did. But people will never forget how you made them feel.”

—Maya Angelou We all know remarkably good people. They’re the ones who demonstrate kindness, other-centeredness, the ability to give so well you just feel really good in their presence. When they go, especially suddenly, the void is profound and shocking.

That how it is with Darrell Smith, who got Covid and passed away unexpectedly last week. A better friend, a kinder presence, a more congeLou Marzeles, nial companion of faith and good will can scarcely be imagined. It’s Editor stunning to know he is no more to be seen in physical form, his Santa-like countenance now a face in memory. He is no less alive, of course, but we will miss that smile and embodiment of cheer walking in our door.

Darrell became a regular presence with us when we connected with him about our performing arts center project. He learned of our plan to build the center here in Goldendale, founded on a notion we call Living Integrity, a program aimed at developing the ability to discern levels of integrity in situations and, in particular, the arts, since they are so vastly ubiquitous and impactful in society—and, important to add, so utterly unconscious of their impact. Darrell was inspired by the plan. He wanted to get on board and help.

“I know some people down in Burbank,” he told me one day, meaning the city in California. “They might like to get involved. Let’s go down and meet them. If you don’t feel it was worth the trip, I’ll pay for it.” So off we went to meet the people at Reveal Studio. Fast forward four years, and one of the people, Brad, from that remarkable studio was in town just last week to talk about new developments toward the project. As were we all, Brad was shocked to learn of Darrell’s passing.

Darrell’s faith in our project was deep and unshakable. He ably defended it on our behalf when it faced challenges from some strange quarters. He devised strategies and held a training for us based on his years in strategic planning and project development.

Most of all, he held as sacrosanct the vision behind the project: to prevent the freefall of “normal” to common-denominator levels of societal acceptance, indeed, to keep “normal” commensurate with integrity. Without education about the impact of integrity on the psychological and physiological well-being of the human nervous system—something science increasingly reveals—there is no safety net for what we accept as normal, especially in the arts. Darrell knew this, always wanted to contribute to that goal, and was instrumental in moving it forward.

That, of course, reveals much about Darrell’s inner sensibilities. It takes a person of integrity to be concerned about integrity. Darrell was a model of that

“You’ve got to listen to this,” Darrell said to me one day, handing me a CD of the original Broadway musical cast recording of Jane Eyre. We’d been talking about the kinds of shows we could have at our performing arts center. “It’s amazing music and an amazing show.” He was right. I play the recording often, marveling at its craftsmanship and ingenuity. I put it on in the car this morning driving to the office. I pictured Darrell in the passenger seat, smiling that cheery grin of his, listening along. Two buds connecting with great music and a greater sense of purpose.

Thanks for everything, Darrell. Your name will be up on a commemorative place of honor in the performing arts center.

The Washington Outdoors Report: Hunting and fishing roundup JOHN KRUSE

FOR THE SENTINEL COLU M BI A G ORGE COHO Brandi Jo Moore at Gorge Outfitters Supply says the coho salmon fishing is really good on the Columbia River at the mouth of the Klickitat. In Moore’s words, “There are lots of anglers there and lots of salmon being caught.” At the mouth of the Deschutes Moore says, “It’s slower, there are less anglers, but it’s still producing.” As far as how anglers are catching these coho salmon Moore suggests casting Blue Fox spinners or trolling Brads Wigglers. Moore said they are also still catching Chinook salmon at the mouth of the Klickitat River as well and hover fishing with salmon eggs remains an effective way to catch the Kings.

Another species to go after in the Columbia River Gorge is walleye. Moore says, “The walleye fishing

is starting to pick up and the hot and heavy fi shing for trophies should take off in about a month.” Try trolling a Bandit plug, jigging, or fishing a spinner-worm harnesses deep for success right now on the Columbia River between Rufus and Boardman. You’ll find all of these lures and more for walleye and salmon at Gorge Outfitters Supply in Rufus.

TROUT DERBY FINALE The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife’s annual trout derby ends after Halloween. This year 100 lakes were stocked with tagged fish and if you catch one and report it, you’ll be eligible for a nice prize.

Over 70 businesses provided prizes this year valued at $38,000. So why are we bringing up this derby so late? Because more than half of these tagged fish have not yet been caught and this is a great time to fish for trout as they put on the proverbial feedbag before winter. You can find

OPENING WEEKEND HUNTING RESULTS

Staci Lehman, the Public Affairs Officer for the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife in Eastern Washington, said some 300 hunters came through staffed check sta-

PROGRAM from page A1 volving the courts.

The ERPP was developed by the state Superior Court Judges’ Association in partnership with the state Office of Civil Legal Aid, Dispute Resolution Centers, and other stakeholders, at the direction of the Washington State Supreme Court, and codified by the Washington State Legislature in 2021.

As the COVID-19 pandemic endures, many tenants are unable to pay rent, and many landlords are not receiving payments. Recent estimates from the U.S. Census Weekly Household Pulse show that approximately 1 in 10 Washington renters are behind on rental payments and 24% of renters are concerned they may not be able to pay next month’s rent. This situation is difficult for both tenants and landlords; tenants risk losing housing and landlords lack the funds they need to make their businesses viable.

“Chronic housing stability issues are surging, particularly in commu-

tions in Northeast Washington during the opening weekend, the vast majority of them deer hunters.

There were about 50 harvested deer brought in and samples were taken from white-tailed deer to see if any of them test positive for Chronic Wasting Disease.

There were no check stations in the Winthrop area this year but there are plans to have it open next October.

Captain Mike Sprecher said the opening weekend for deer hunters was “fairly typical,” but hunter numbers were down a little. Unfortunately, WDFW Enforcement Officers did fi nd several hunters doing things they shouldn’t be doing, including trespassing on private lands, spotlighting deer at night, and taking some non-legal animals.

As for duck hunting, Lehman was able to forward me information from three WDFW regulated access waterfowl hunting

areas in the Desert Wildlife Area within Grant County.

Hunter numbers were down this year, partially due to the drought and a lack of water. A total of 54 hunters were checked with 115 ducks for an average harvest of 2.1 ducks per hunter.

In comparison, 3.1 ducks were taken on average by hunters in the same area last year during the opening weekend of waterfowl season.

L eh ma n encou rages hunters to stop by check stations, even if they aren’t successful. The staff members at these stations want to know what you are seeing in the field and answer any questions you have. If you do harvest a deer, biologists can help you figure out the age of your buck and if it’s your fi rst deer ever, they’ll even give you a certificate commemorating that milestone event!

An eviction record, or

even an unlawful detainer fi ling in court, may appear on rental history, so fi nding resolution when possible, prior to fi ling, can benefit a renter’s ability to find future housing.

Friday was another funfi lled day. Purple and gold day always brings back the oldies. We got to see lots of years of Goldendale gear. It was such a fun thing to see alumni with their kids going to school where they did. At the end of the day, the grades competed against each other in the Goldendale Games.

They played games such as corn hole, tug of war, and the egg toss. The weather was cold, but that didn’t stop the senior class from dominating all of the games.

Saturday ended the events

with a barbecue before the big game and, of course, again bringing the court back to the field and introducing them to the crowd.

The boys made sure that this game was a smash ending—they won the game 60-0 (see story on page A1).

After the game, everyone got dressed up and headed to the fairgrounds for the Homecoming Dance.

Overall, the week was amazing—the kids made memories and had a ton of fun. This is a great tradition that our community holds.

“A partnership with Six Rivers is very timely as we emerge from the pandemic and help families and individuals who lost income due to COVID-19 get back on their feet.”

for a 21-yard gain working the ball down the field.

Quarterback Kade Baumberger handed the ball off to Caleb Smith yet again for another touchdown.

The fi rst half ended with the score at 27-0.

The Wolves were seriously on fi re as they continued their domination on the field. Kade made an amazing pass to Austin Neil downfield for yet again another touchdown. The defense continued to make stops, keeping the Scotties scoreless for the entire game. The offense kept moving the ball down the field.

Some veteran players as well as some younger players were able to make it into the end zone. Evan Riley, Seth Lucatero, Kade Baumberger, and Tyler Wells all put points on the board for the Wolves. The final score was 60-0, another shutout, and the Wolves bring their league record to 4-0.

Kade Baumberger ended the game with 6 completed passes for 115 yards. James Hastings had 3 carries for 33 yards and one touchdown. Seth Lucatero had 3 carries for 39 yards and one touchdown. Evan Riley

had 3 carries for 31 yards and one touchdown. Austin Neil had two catches for 43 yards and one touchdown.

Tyler Wells also had a catch for 28 yards and one touchdown. Matt Grey had one catch for 10 yards, Cameron Groves had one catch for 8 yards and Justin Ward had one catch for 21 yards.

The player of the game was Caleb Smith with 6 carries for 175 yards and four total touchdowns.

Defensively the Timberwolves had lots of stops and played very well together.

Freshman Malaki Maiava ended the game with 6 tackles, Joon Sene with 5 tackles, James Hastings with 2.5 tackles, and Sam Wilder with 3 tackles. Cameron Groves and Layne Bruhn both added interceptions to the game.

They all played a great game despite the cold and wet weather. The Wolves have one more game left in the season before district play. They will invite White Swan to their home field this Friday, and they would like to invite the community to come join in on all the fun.

WEEK from page A1 The boys put on their best suits, each one looking very dapper. All the princes and princesses awaited to hear the final vote to see who would become king and queen. The school had voted, and with the final counts done, Taylor Fahlenkamp and Matt Blain were your newly crowned queen and king for the class of 2021.

The name Halloween came from a contraction.

The name was All Hallows’ Evening. That was shortened to All Hallows’ Eve and shortened again to Hallows’ Eve. Eventually the name ended up being Halloween. Many people around the world celebrate this holiday every October 31st. But where did the holiday come from? Is it really a holiday, or is it a tradition? When did this celebration begin and why do we celebrate it?

The holiday and traditions can be traced back to an area of Europe that is now known as Ireland, England, Scotland, Northern France and some of Spain. This area was home to the Celts. The Celts were an ancient collection of tribes that shared a language, culture and religious beliefs. Halloween comes from their celebration of New Year’s Eve. Their new year began on November 1st.

This was a time to celebrate the end of the harvest season and the end of the year. The Celts built bonfires, dressed up in costumes, and danced around hoping to keep bad spirits away for one more year. It was also a time to celebrate the lives of family members who had died.

A holiday is a day of festivity to celebrate an event. A tradition is a custom, activity or belief passed down within a culture or family. The truth is Halloween is a holiday that has been celebrated for around 2000 years. This holiday has many traditions that have been handed down.

Modern trick or treating is a tradition that has changed many times. During the first All Hallows Eve celebrations, sweets were baked and set on doorsteps as a treat so bad spirits would leave the family alone. Children who didn’t get sweets often would sneak out of their houses disguised as spirits and take the food. In later years, children would knock on doors asking for the sweets. They would offer prayers, songs and dances and funny tricks as payment for these things. This is this tradition that was brought to America with European settlers and has evolved into what we know today.

FUN FACTS A quarter of all candy sold in America is sold for Halloween.

Jack-O-Lanterns were supposed to keep evil spirits away.

Scarecrows were burned on Halloween because it was the end of the growing season for crops.

The most Jack-OLanterns lit at one time was more than 30,000 in Keene, New Hampshire in 2013.

4-H Achievement Program honors members Each year the 4-H Club members and leaders gather to celebrate the accomplishments of the year past. The 2021 Klickitat County 4-H Achievement Program this year was held in Ekone Park in Goldendale. Due to the pandemic, last year’s 4-H Achievement Program was canceled. This year families celebrated the resilience and commitment of volunteers and youth from both years.

Each summer, 4-H members complete and submit their 4-H Record Book following the Klickitat County Fair. Record Books document the project goals each member started the year with and indicate how members worked to meet those goals or how they overcame obstacles in their way.

Members are then invited to interview with a panel of

judges to share more details on their 4-H member experience.

A few highlights of the program were: • Ana Clark was awarded the Pomona Cup for demonstrated leadership and mastery of a variety of projects over her 4-H career.

• Jocelyn Fahlenkamp was awarded The J Double Bar Moving Forward Award for demonstrating resiliency in the face of obstacles.

• The Klickitat County Outstanding Youth Award was given to Brandi Vance.

• The Friend of 4-H Award was given with gratitude to Margaret Throop of Glenwood and Vic & Cindy Blandine of Goldendale.

• The 2020 Klickitat County 4-H Leader of the Year was Stephanie Shamek and the 2021 Klickitat

milestones in the program, this year three individuals reached the landmark status of 40 Years as a Volunteer. Pat Shamek of Goldendale Horse-N-Around Club, and Marie & Dean Miller of Bickleton Hilltoppers.

The most moving award of the afternoon was the announcement that the late Linda Enderby will be inducted into the Washington State 4-H Volunteer Hall of Fame. This honor was shared with a special presentation to the Enderby Family. Linda Enderby volunteered as the Club Leader for the Muttonheads 4-H Club in Goldendale for most of her 33 years as a C volunteer.

President. One of her many passions within the 4-H Program was her belief in Record Books as tools to teach important skills and lessons to youth. At each club meeting she had members start by updating their record books, believing that building habits are an important life-skill any successful business owner, rancher, or farmer needs.

Linda could be found before County Fair helping members finalize their books and offering helpful advice to earn every last point possible. Her love of the Program and tireless energy have been much missed and deserve to be recognized in this way.

Congratulations to each of the members and volunteers who have accomplished so much worth celebrating.

Cross Country headed to District Ladies Soccer celebrates Tayler Bradley

Sports Editor Fall sports are not only played with a ball. Some athletes choose to run long distances over a variety of terrain in the sport of cross country. These athletes train endless hours conditioning themselves to be ready for any course they encounter. Coach Juli Rising has had such a passion for the sport and loves getting to coach the dedicated, hard-working runners of the Goldendale Cross Country team.

The boys’ and girls’ teams have both had a great season, getting better with each meet and practice. The team runs six days a week— conditioning is very important as well as strength.

These runners also have a program that they complete that includes core workouts, sprints, stretching, and the like. They also prepare for each course that they will be heading to, getting it on their minds and running different terrain.

Every course is different; some are longer and some are shorter. They range from three miles to 5,000 meters. They run different terrain: hills, water, and much more.

The team is very young, 6 freshman, 5 sophomores and 1 senior, only three of which are return runners.

But they are very hard working and eager to grow.

The first two league meets went well even though the team was short a few runners due to injuries. The younger athletes were able

to step it up and won first at both. The team also went to a few other meets and invitationals to keep up on the competition. They all did great with many top ten finishers.

The final league meet was held in Goldendale at the Golf Course. The whole team was cleared to race this time, and it really gave all the runners a big hype going into the race. They were able to win this race by a big margin, allowing them to clench the EWAC League Title. They are going into districts tomorrow. Those that will be racing are Isaac Call, Alden Williams, Sean Henrikson, Ivan Erland, Stephen Pittman, Elliot Grindling, Simon Grindling, Emily Cazares, Lexi Williams, and alternates Casen

Doubravsky and Damain Simonds. The team’s goal is place first as a team at this race to be able to compete at the state meet.

Coach Rising has lots of faith in her team. She loves to see how all the runners grow throughout the season. She says, “It is a very demanding sport. The kids get out of it what they put into it; the hard work really does pay off at the end of the season.” The team really becomes a family—they may be running against each other, but when they build each other up and work together, there is no way that they can lose.

We are so proud of all the runners that will be competing next week. We wish them fast feet and great endurance. Go Wolves!

GHS VB clinches share of league title With two road wins under their belt, the GHS Volleyball team clinched a share of the EWAC Conference title last week. This is the 17th league title in program history since records started being kept in 1969.

The Wolves beat the Warriors at Cle Elum with great serving and passing! The team served 98.6% on the evening with 12 aces. Kennedy Berry led the charge going 20-20 and also contributed 14 perfect passes.

It’s a long haul to Cle Elum, but the girls finished strong against the improved Warrior team. Sara Hiebert led the offense with 12 kills and 4 stuff blocks, with Taryn Rising adding 7K. Natalie Schroder had a great night with 11-11 serving, 6 kills and 2 perfect passes. Rachel Gallagher added 16 assists and 6 kills. Audrey Hill continues to play well in her all-round role, with 5 assists, 5 kills and 100% serving. Set scores were 25-12, 25-16, and 25-12.

The Timberwolf hitting game was less than stellar for the first time this year. Thirtyone kills on 91 attempts with 27 errors netted a .044 hitting %. Cle Elum had many hitting errors of their own, but the Timberwolf serving game was the difference.

The four senior team members spent their Wednesday afternoon preparing for Homecoming Coronation and much of the week with events associated with the long-standing Goldendale High School tradition. It was possible that hitting the road to Highland on Thursday could find the Timberwolves a bit fatigued, but that was not the case. They grit of the Timberwolves was quite evident when they took the court without Senior Leader

Once the girls settled into their new rotation, they turned up the heat and went on to win the next two sets 25-16 and 25-7. Hiebert hammered 12 K, Taryn Rising had 10K and 13-13 serving with 5 digs, and Brooke Blain, Hill and Gwen Gilliam all tallied 6K. Jauken had 3K, 3 aces, 7 digs, and 3 assists in her first match with extended playing time. Gilliam contributed 18 PP and 100 % serving, while Rising was 13-13 from the back line. Freshman Brylee Mulroney saw action with 11-11 serving and 2 aces. The Timberwolves attack game was back in fine form with 43 K on 86 attempts and just 7 errors for a much better .418 hitting %.

The Junior Varsity kept

their undefeated record intact, winning both matches this week!

The Timberwolves are excited for their last conference home match on Tuesday Oct. 26th to honor their

Seniors and will also host the first round of the district playoffs on Monday November 1 at the GHS Gym at 6 p.m.

Sports Editor This week the Ladies’ Soccer team had a couple more tough games on their agenda. Both the Granger and Cle Elum teams have great talent and know how to leave it all out on the field. The Timberwolves prepared for both teams this past week. These girls have worked very hard this season and have learned to play as a team, and that is exactly what they did all week.

Their first game was Tuesday the 19th at home against Granger. The team hit the field knowing this was an important game. But Granger put up a rough and tough fight. Both teams went back and forth, up and down the field trying to score against each other. The Timberwolves defense tried their hearts out and blocked as many shots as they could.

The team was able to score once during the game, Graseon Mobley with an assist from Reanna Oswalt. The game ended 2-1, Granger with the win. The Timberwolves may have lost but they also had senior night Tuesday. We celebrated four great seniors, Taylor Fahlencamp, Danae Dunlap, Graeson Mobley and Payton Sheridan. All four girls will

be missed but we are excited for their next adventure.

Thursday was an even more important game for the Timberwolves. They knew that they had to win this game to qualify for district. Cle Elum is a great team, and the Timberwolves knew they had to play their best games to continue onto district. They were able to put their starting goalie, Mackenzie Dahl, back in the game. She was able to keep the ball out of the net with some 30 stops, but Cle Elum was able to sneak three into the goal for the game.

The defensive line—Danae Dunlap, Kali Watson, Claira Tuning, and Emma Olson— all were vital in keeping Cle Elum to only three goals.

Payton Sheridan got a great shot off which flew past the goalie right into the net scoring the only goal for the Timberwolves. The game ended 3-1.

This team of girls have poured their hearts and souls out onto the field each game and practice. They have all grown on and off the field. They will have one more week of games.

Tuesday the 25th they will have played Burbank and Thursday the 28th they will travel to Mabton. Good Luck in your final week of games, ladies.
