UPDATE

Dozens of students at Federal Way high schools staged a walkout Dec. 6 to protest the school district’s controversial Standards Based Education grading system. No incidents were reported. According to the district, students will not be suspended for participating. Many of the students at all four high schools in the city began the walkout during their lunch hour and eventually returned to class. Standards Based Education (SBE) is aimed at creating standardization for teachers and students regarding grading, class content and other important areas. Critics say SBE is confusing and creates an unfair playing field that reduces test scores, raises the failure rate and discourages students from trying.

Supporters praise the system for focusing on specific goals and challenging students to improve. Pictured: Federal Way High School principal Lisa Griebel monitors the students Tuesday. To search for past reports on SBE, visit federalwaymirror.com. ANDY HOBBS, The Mirror

Students protest grading system

Gun sales go out with a bang on Black Friday

Federal Way tennis players mourn loss of Bally courts Popular fitness facility closed on Dec. 8

Black Friday sales usually make people think of hot deals on home appliances, electronics or clothes. But what about guns?

According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, 2011’s Black Friday saw the most background check requests in a single day, with 129,166 requests being made to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS).

This eclipsed the previous record of Black Friday in 2008, in which 97,848 requests were made of the NICS, and far surpassed 2010’s Black Friday request number of 87,601.

In Federal Way, the national trend was pretty much reflected, said John Powell, store manager for Wholesale Sports. The store, located on South 348th Street, sells both hunting firearms and handguns.

Background checks on Black Friday topped last year’s total by more than 40,000. MIRROR FILE PHOTO “It was good, for sure,” Powell said. “I don’t honestly know if it was a record or not. It was definitely busy. We sold well over 50 firearms for the day.”

Longtime patrons at Bally Total Fitness lost more than just a place to play tennis.

They lost a community institution.

Bally closed its doors Dec. 8, following the company’s recent acquisition by L.A. Fitness. Aside from being a fitness facility, Bally was embraced by the Federal Way tennis community as a social hub for friends and families.

Located at 32818 1st Ave. S., Bally hosted multiple U.S. Tennis Association (USTA) tournaments and local high school competitors

throughout the year.

Aside from the Federal Way branch, the loss of Bally locations in Kent, Olympia and Tacoma deals a blow to the South Puget Sound indoor tennis scene.

Aside from taking their game back outside, many of the Bally customers said they’d consider indoor alternatives like the Boeing Employees Tennis Club, despite the higher price.

A tennis pro at the Federal Way Bally said the combined closures — 15 out of about 200 USTAapproved indoor courts in the state — affect hundreds of players. [ more BALLY, page 9 ]

Redondo shooting suspect arrested FROM STAFF REPORTS

Des Moines police arrested a suspect in the November shooting death of a 19-year-old woman in Redondo.

On Wednesday, Des Moines police with the assistance of Valley SWAT arrested a 29-year-old Asian male at his residence without incident. The suspect was booked into the King County Jail for investigation of homicide and investigation of assault.

Jayme Thomas, 19, died after being shot early morning Nov. 5 in the backseat of a vehicle in the 800 block of Redondo Way South. Witnesses reported that an argument occurred between two separate groups before the shooting.

Two unidentified men started passing a gun around, then fired shots into a vehicle where Thomas sat, according to police. A 24-year-old male was also shot at the scene, but has since been treated and released.

Thomas was a 2011 graduate of Mount Rainier High School and was studying at Highline Community College to become a nurse. As a lifeguard, she taught toddlers to swim, and was heavily involved in her youth group at Resurrection Lutheran Church.

Springfield, Mo., sold 70 guns total on Black Friday, with ABC indicating it was a mix of “rifles and handguns.” One of the questions that many are asking about the Black Friday record is whether most of the sales consisted of new buyers — or gun enthusiasts just expanding their collection.

Powell said in Federal Way, it was pretty close to a half-and-half mix.

“It was some of both.

We certainly had some of our regular customers here. But we also had some great deals on firearms, where I think

just too good,’” Powell said.

In an interview on the National Rifle Association website, Chris Irwin, owner of The Gun Store in Las Vegas, said his store experienced a slight bump in sales on Black Friday.

“We did definitely see a little bit of a spike there,” he told the NRA. Irwin believes that the increase in sales is coming from first-time buyers.

When asked if he is seeing new faces in the store these days, he replied: “Absolutely. I think it has to do with concealed firearm reciprocity going across our nation. And I think it also has to deal with the typical first-time gun purchaser. Someone who’s been saying ‘I need to get something to protect myself, and I’ve been thinking about this for awhile’ or ‘My neighbor’s house got broken into and I realize I don’t have anything.’”

Headlines in Federal Way and the Puget Sound region highlight the fact that more law enforcement officers are being laid off and public safety is being sacrificed for budget cuts. NRA spokesman Andrew Arulananbam said he feels people are realizing it’s going to be up to them to protect themselves going forward.

“They read in the headlines stories about prisoners having furloughs and law enforcement being laid off,” Arulananbam told ABC News. “They realize it’s going to be up to them to protect themselves and their families.”

For the city’s homeless, finding a warm place to stay the night when an unexpected cold snap arrives can be difficult.

Because of this sparsity of shelter, Federal Way recently addressed the issue by establishing protocols for emergency shelter locations in what it termed “severe cold weather occurrences.�

The new protocols will create a registry of shelters for people to use — a list that hadn’t existed previously.

Bryant Enge, the city’s administrative services director, said there needs to be a balance between providing shelter and making sure those shelters are compliant with codes and regulations. “During extreme cold weather conditions that pose dangerous health concerns for those people exposed, temporary shelters are needed to provide refuge,� Enge said at the city council’s Dec. 6 meeting. “It is important that adequate safeguards and procedures are put in place, to protect not only the people being sheltered, but also to protect the actual facility.�

Enge said the city and South King Fire and Rescue collaborated on the protocols, to ease the burden on local churches that provide temporary shelter in extreme weather events. One of the biggest issues that the churches ran into, especially in

terms of having people stay overnight, was the lack of adequate fire sprinkler systems. For most local churches, the cost of adding or improving any fire suppression systems would be significant.

From the city’s perspective, it’s hands were tied in trying to help financially offset those costs. The city cannot use federal funding from block grants, for example, to improve churches, Enge said. “So that limited our options in terms of what we could do,� he said. “What we did was develop these guidelines that protect the individuals when they’re at the shelter facilities. We wanted to make sure the worship houses would respond to crises without sacrificing public safety.�

Enge said the city will require temporary shelters to have a fire escape plan with two exits available. The shelters must have operable fire alarms, smoke detectors and fire extinguishers, and finally, shelters must ensure volunteers will be available throughout the night.

Outside of this protocol, Enge said the city will develop a more formal program in conjunction with Catholic Community Services (CCS) in the near future.

CCS has previously worked with Kent in establishing a program, and is currently piloting a program in Renton. “We’re in a discussion with them, in terms of a bringing a similar program here to Federal Way,� Enge said.

A camera makes you smile more A camera can frighten people. I’d like to think that a camera makes you smile more.

I visited a student protest this week at Federal Way High School regarding the new Standards Based Education grading system.

When arriving at any scene with a camera, some people react like you’re packing an M-16. School officials — aka, the adults — pounced quickly on that chilly Tuesday afternoon. They reminded me, with courtesy, that students could not be photographed or interviewed while on school property. Never mind the students standing in full public view for all passing motorists.

Didn’t matter anyway. I got the photo from the public sidewalk. Had this been a rally to benefit a classmate with cancer, could students have been photographed and interviewed without hassle? Perhaps. Kudos to the schools for being anal about this stuff. Schools are educators, but also protectors.

And for the record: those sign-waving, chantcheering students at the protest were salivating for a photo.

At one time, kids didn’t need clearance to have their picture in the paper.

Media releases for students are a vital practice, not out of fear, but because you should know who’s photographing your child. In my career, only one creepy incident comes to mind.

At a community newspaper in Scottsdale, an 8-year-old girl was pictured in a ballet outfit.

Apparently, a local pervert liked the outfit and wrote her letters about his fantasies. He even

called the girl’s house. Our sympathies went out to the distraught parents. That was an unfortunately random consequence.

Still, I see it all the time: parents hesitate to have their young children photographed, or at least named. Many parents ask that the child’s last name be withheld. I understand. Parents are grateful for the peace of mind these rules bring.

In an age when every Tom, Dick and Harry has a camera, the media’s camera still smells fishy to the wary subject. Your image and possibly reputation are in the hands of an entity that broadcasts to the world. The photo lingers in cyberspace forever, out of your control. Permanence is a scary thought.

The Mirror navigates these waters, expecting to be viewed with skepticism despite our purpose to society. The Mirror is intrusive only when necessary, and we don’t bite ... hard.

The paper’s goal is to hold up a mirror to Federal Way and show what’s happening. It’s OK if you don’t want your photo in the paper, or if you prefer to not comment. And if you want to keep your kids out of the paper, that’s fine too.

Most citizens who encounter the media will seize the opportunity to share in their local democracy. All this newspaper wants to do is serve as a conduit for information, ideas and entertainment, all with local edge.

So on the count of three, say cheese. You just might be in the latest reflection of life in Federal Way. Andy Hobbs

This year, the day after Thanksgiving saw Americans finally getting back to the business Americans love: Shopping!

FBI statistics show that a new record was set during that one Friday for background check requests from gun buyers. There were 129,166 requests to the NICS. That was a third more than the previous all-time record of 97,848 on Black Friday 2008. On Black Friday last year, there were 87,061 requests.

Some of the buyers believe that stockpiling guns is a better way to prepare for hard times than gold. Nevertheless, many of those shopping for guns at several gun stores in the Federal Way area were almost certainly women purchasing guns for their own protection.

Federal Way’s local Armed Defense Training Association has been in contact with an instructor named Jennie at Rivendell Sales and Consulting in Kent. Jennie teaches women how to shoot.

She owns and operates a store that markets to women who shoot.

I asked her what ladies need to know when they first decide to buy a gun. The first consideration, she stated, is not to let someone at a gun shop — or a well-meaning significant other — sell you a small gun that “you shoot once, it hurts and you put it away.”

Jennie said a woman needs her own gun that fits. “I have seen too many ladies with a gun that does not fit their hand, one that is too large a caliber for a beginner, or they are told at some gun shop that the itty-bitty gun is just the one for them. The gun that does not fit you right just goes unused and sits on a shelf.”

Jennie encourages her students to consciously make the decision to defend their own life. “If you are killed or severely injured, how will your family function without you?”

Of course, hardly anyone ever actually states that his or her own life is not worth defending.

But, despite all the philosophical and political arguments, take the steps to get trained and actually get a gun into your hands. This demonstrates that you are prepared to fight back.

Jennie demystifies the “danger” of guns. She told me, “I have seen many ladies not even sure they want to touch a gun. Her students learn quickly that a gun does not go off by itself. Once a woman realizes that she can effectively and safely operate the efficient little safety device, fear goes away and smiles start to appear.”

However, too many women take a beginner class and think that they are ready to go out on the street and deal with all the legal, physical and emotional things that go with armed self-defense.

“In order to carry for self-defense, you have to make the commitment to train and practice,” [ more KNAPP page 5 ]

Community organizations which help sexual assault victims, such as King County Sexual Assault Resource Center (KCSARC), have a long history of providing services that increase public safety and save lives. Yet, the governor’s budget proposes a 20 percent reduction to state funding for sexual assault and domestic violence programs.

Do we want to live in a community, a state, which fails to meet these critical safety needs of our citizens?

What does this say about our care and concern for our neighbors — if therapy and legal advocacy services for these victims of crime are not available? What if they were not available for your loved one?

63 percent of the victims of sexual assault and abuse KCSARC helps are under age 18. There has never been a greater need for services, and even with current funding KCSARC cannot assist all those who need help.

Criminal sexual assault cases in King County now take 18-24 months to be resolved (up from previously 12-18 months). This greatly increases the strain on victims and families.

Sexual assault and domestic violence services are a critical element in public safety. Mary Ellen Stone, executive director of KCSARC observes, “Without legal advocacy services, victims are less likely to participate in the criminal justice system and offenders are less likely to face prosecution.”

We know that untreated victims face huge hurdles in their future. A recent Washington state survey reported that 100 percent of women who had multiple sexual assaults as adults had been victimized as children.

Problems with school performance, drug and alcohol abuse, depression, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and suicide are often results of untreated sexual assault.

Treatment and healing are critical. Who will be there for victims if our agencies are starved for funding?

I have lived and worked in South King County for 44 years. King County Sexual Assault Resource Center has delivered quality services to victims of sexual assault for 35 of those years.

Their record is outstanding and nationally recognized. Yet their service is in jeopardy and under threat.

ROADSHOW COMES TO PUYALLUP, TACOMA, FEDERAL WAY, & OLYMPIA NEXT WEEK! Got gold? Next week, visitors can cash in on gold and silver jewelry, antiques, collectibles, and all coins prior to 1970

By Jason Delong STAFF WRITER Clean out your attics, closets and lock boxes, because the “As seen on TV,” Treasure Hunters Roadshow is coming to Puyallup, Tacoma, Federal Way, & Olympia. Roadshow specialists are in town examining your gold and silver, antiques and collectibles.

While the Roadshow will accept anything that’s old, they will be focusing on: gold and silver coins made before 1970, military items, toys and trains, musical instruments, pocket and wrist watches. Scrap gold is expected to be a popular categor y this week due to soaring gold prices.

Buyers for the roadshow have noticed a tremendous increase in the amount of gold coming to the Roadshow, and for good reason. Record gold prices have Roadshow guests cashing in on broken or outdated jewelry with our fair and honest purchase offers.

The Roadshow encourages anyone planning a visit to take a minute and examine their jewelry box or their lock box at the bank and gather anything that is gold. If a guest is not sure if something is gold, bring it in and the Roadshow staff will test it for free.

Other gold items of interest include gold coins, gold ounces, gold proof sets and dental gold.

Other types of items Roadshow specialists hope to see include vintage guitars. Ryan Krushas, one of the Roadshow’s instrument specialists, spoke about some of the top guitars getting great offers. “Gibsons

and Fenders are in big demand right now as are vintage amps,” said Krushas. We also buy violins, mandolins, woodwinds, if it plays it pays! Timepiece specialist Jeff Ford adds, “Watches are hot! We recently paid over $2,500 for an old Hamilton pocket watch. And we are buying all types of high-end wrist watches too. Brands like Rolex, Tiffany and Chopard are very desirable to collectors. And the finest Swiss timepiece in the world, Patek Philippe, just earned a happy seller $42,000.00” When specialist Tom Fuller was asked what he enjoyed most about working at the Roadshow, he was quick to answer, “Old coins and paper currency—for as long as I can remember, I have been fascinated with collecting coins. I would go through the change in my parents’ grocery store, looking for rare dates and errors. Once, I found a silver quarter that I sold for $300. Not bad for an 8 year old.”

Fuller went on to explain that any U.S. coins made before 1970 are the most sought after by collectors. Coins made before 1965 are 90% silver, and valuable because of either the silver content or even more valuable if one happens to be a rare date. Fuller explained, “We help people sort through their coins for unique dates. We buy all types of coins at the Roadshow—from wheat pennies to buffalo nickels, and from single coins to entire truckloads. See you at the Roadshow.”

[ BALLY from page 1] A few dozen diehards gathered for a farewell potluck lunch Thursday at the Federal Way facility’s three remaining tennis courts.

Most of the members had been playing tennis for at least a decade at Bally, whose parking lot is consistently full. Several members had children and grandchildren who practically grew up on these courts.

Harry Folster started playing on the tennis courts when they were first opened in 1977. In fact, he and his wife, Sharon, purchased their home in Twin Lakes because of its proximity to the club. At that time, the facility was called Town and Country.

It was later renamed Pac West Tennis, and eventually became Bally in the mid1980s. “We’ll find something,�

Folster said. “Life goes on.�

John Cassens, director of tennis at Bally, is optimistic that Federal Way players can find a new home. His daughter, Meghan, was a standout at Decatur High School who got her start playing tennis at Bally. Now she plays tennis at Iowa State University. “This place is an institution. People are stunned,� said Federal Way resident Don Payne at Thursday’s farewell gathering. Payne has used the facility since 1979, and appreciated its affordability and atmosphere.

Before hopping onto the court for a quick set Thursday, Annie Horn noted the camaraderie among fellow tennis enthusiasts. “We are like family,� she said. “I know everybody in this room.�

Fitness International LLC, an affiliate of L.A. Fitness International, has acquired the assets to 171 Bally Total Fitness clubs nationwide. Bally membership at the Federal Way location has been transferred to the L.A. Fitness at 35009 Enchanted Parkway S. Several customers who bought lifetime memberships were initially told that L.A. Fitness would not honor those memberships, a position that has since changed.

Pictured: Annie Horn returns a serve Thursday, while Harry and Sharon Folster serve sandwiches at a farewell potluck lunch at Bally Total Fitness in Federal Way. The Folsters and their family have been attending the club for more than 34 years.

Several placers from the state tournament return to four programs, including former state champ Carpio

BY CASEY OLSON

sports@fedwaymirror.com

The Todd Beamer Titans are loaded this season with a huge amount of talent returning for head coach Brett Lucas.

Included in that group is plenty of seniors with state tournament experience.

Beamer enters the year with big expectations and is ranked No. 9 in one preseason poll.

Leading the list of returners is senior Ares Carpio, who finished third at state last year at 125 pounds after winning the 119-pound state championship as a sophomore.

“We have a solid group of seniors that will get it done this year at the state tournament,” said Lucas.

Other state tournament veterans back for the Titans include seniors Deshar House (130), Tre Uson (119) and Aron Set-Heit (135), junior Lance Gibson (145) and sophomore Brett Dykman (112). Uson ended up in eighth place at the state championships.

Despite being loaded at the lower weights, Lucas and the Titans will need to get better at the heavier weights to contend for the SPSL South Division regular season title.

Freshmen newcomers Jordan Rhodes and Carlos Castro, along with senior Kristoph Ricketts and junior Ishaia Belle should provide depth.

Lucas also has two talented freshmen girls this season in Arian Carpio and Venessa Dixon.

The Titans opened the SPSL South season with a win over Emerald Ridge, and will host Puyallup on Dec. 14.

Thomas Jefferson Raiders The Raiders wrestle in the best league in the state and it showed last year during the regular season. Jefferson finished without a win during the SPSL North season.

Decatur High School junior Nick Karis is hoping to make another trip to the Class 4A State Wrestling Championships inside the Tacoma Dome. Karis finished in sixth place at last year’s Mat Classic at 160 pounds. CASEY OLSON, The Mirror But the wars during the regular season paid off in the postseason when the Raiders placed a pair of wrestlers in championship bouts at the Mat Classic state championships inside the Tacoma Dome. Then-senior Zeke Nistrian eventually won the 152-pound state title.

Leading the list of returners is senior K.W. Williams. Last season, Williams lost in the 189-pound title match in Tacoma and returns as the Class 4A state favorite. Williams is hoping the add to his impressive senior year after leading the TJ football team to the postseason for the first time in school history as [ more WRESTLING PREVIEW page 11 ]

Madi Kellar

The Thomas Jefferson gymnastics team remained unbeaten in the South Puget Sound League North Division by winning a four-team meet Wednesday. The Raiders finished with 164.95 points, Tahoma was second with (140.85), followed by Kentridge (139.95) and Kent-Meridian (131.0).

As usual, TJ was led by Madi Kellar.

The senior led a Raider sweep of the all-around Wednesday night by tallying 35.7 points. Kellar won both the uneven parallel bars with a 9.1 and the balance beam with a 9.0. Kellar was also third on the vault with an 8.85.

Twin sisters, Monica and Shelby Church, pulled off a rare tie for second in the all-around. Both finished with the identical total of 33.75 points.

Monica Church won the vault with a 9.25 and was second on the floor (9.2). [ more WRAP UP page 12 ]

Basketball: Gators need OT to beat KLake

BY CASEY OLSON sports@fedwaymirror.com

The Gators (2-1) withstood an impressive fourth-quarter comeback by the Falcons, who [ more BASKETBALL page 12 ]

Williams will wrestle at 195 pounds this season.

“We are full of juniors with a couple of seniors,” said head coach Jess Workman. “We will hopefully have three or four state competitors with one returning as the state runnerup from last year at 195.”

Also back for the Raiders are returning regional participant Michael Roybal at 113 pounds, Jake Polsak (152), Chad George (152), Geoff Lucas (152/160), Michael Burt (220) and Chris Johnson (145).

Newcomers like Kevin Wolfrom (138), Efren Delvalle (160), Jorge Duran (138/145) and freshman Kiel Hicks (113) should also score points for TJ. “We have great team unity and we’ll do better at tournaments,” Workman said. “We have a great support system from fans and parents.”

The Raiders opened their SPSL North season at Kent-Meridian Wednesday and travel to Auburn on Dec. 14.

Decatur Gators The Gators return a load of talented wrestlers from a team that finished 7-2 in the rugged SPSL 3A Division.

Longtime head coach Mike Bressler brings back three juniors who all qualified for the state tournament a season ago in Nick Karis, Rowland Gaydosh and Kyle Gleed.

Karis, a 160-pounder, brought home a sixth-place medal from the Tacoma Dome as a sophomore in the always-tough bracket.

He advanced into the semifinals before losing.

Karis was beaten by Everett’s Connor Boyce in the semifinals in a 6-5 decision.

Boyce eventually lost to Enumclaw’s Kario Wallin in the championship.

Fellow sophomores Gaydosh and Gleed both failed to place in their first Mat Classics. Gaydosh, a 171-pounder, won his opening match by fall over O’Dea’s JJ Thornes, before losing his next two matches.

The 285-pound Gleed lost his opener before earning one of the quickest pins of the weekend over Highline’s DeWayne Perry in just 16 seconds. But Gleed lost his next match at state.

Also returning for Decatur will be Tristen Dawson (113), Drew Dasher (120), Keoni Aparis (126), Nick Lindholm (132), TJ Barndt (145), Brandon Zimmerman (152), Cody Vanderlin (170), Spencer Smith (182)

Washington Arms Collectors

and James Bagley (220).

“Lots of hard work will determine success,” Bressler.

“The team is young, scrappy and determined. This is a hard-working group of kids who say they would like to leave a mark.”

Federal Way Eagles The Eagles finished 3-5 in the SPSL South a season ago and qualified one boy for the state tournament.

But Federal Way made its mark last season with its girls’ team. The Eagle girls finished up in fifth place at the state tournament.

Returning for head coach Travis Mango will be seniors Victoria Pena (112) and Axa Molina (118), along with juniors Bianca Arizpe (112), Kim Mored (106/112), Jessica Cabanada (170) and Jacklyn Baules (170).

Arizpe finished in fourth-place at state last season and Molina earned a seventh-place medal. Pena also wrestled at state.

On the boys’ side, Federal Way lost last year’s lone state qualifier, Joseph Coronell, to graduation.

But Mango brings back seniors Anthony Pena and Jessy Leifi, who both have a chance at wrestling in the Tacoma Dome. Pena is a 113-pounder and Leifi wrestles at 285.

Federal Way’s Olive, Pulu named All-State

by The News Tribune Federal Way High School seniors Uso Olive and Jordan Pulu were named to The News Tribune’s AllState Team recently.

Olive is a Portland State-commit and might be the strongest player in Washington. The 6-foot, 310-pound Olive can bench press 455 pounds.

The senior finished third in the SPSL South in tackles for a loss with 12 during the season. Olive’s presence in the middle of the Eagle defense helped Federal Way give up just 11.7 points a game, which was far-andaway the best in the SPSL. Pulu was a first-team, preseason all-state selection and didn’t disappoint. The 6-foot-3, 235-pound middle linebacker was a beast in the middle for the Eagles’ defense and will play next fall at Washington State University. Pulu was named the SPSL South Division’s Linebacker of the Year by the coaches.

Pulu led Federal Way in tackles with 61 in nine SPSL games for an average of 6.8 a game. He had 50 solo tackles and a high game of 10.5. Pulu broke his ankle during the Eagles’ playoff opening win over Snohomish and was held off the field during their state loss to Eastlake.

are expected to be one of the better teams in the South Puget Sound League North Division.

Kentlake outscored Decatur, 30-18, during the final eight minutes of the game to overcome a 12-point Gator lead to start the fourth quarter.

But Decatur and senior guard Dom Hunter outscored the Falcons 8-4 during the overtime session. Hunter finished with 30 points and is averaging 18 points a game for the Gators. Markus Rawls ended up with 19 points, Abraham Ferrell-Logan had 15 and Jeff Bartley chipped in 11 points for Decatur.

Kentlake (0-2) also had four players in double figures, led by the 21 from Jaron Heck.

Beamer — The Titans improved to 2-0 in the SPSL South Division and 4-0 overall with a 65-45 win over Bethel Tuesday on the road.

Beamer dominated the second half, outscoring the Braves, 33-15.

The Titans had three players in double figures, led by the 18 points of Thomas Rhodes. Juwan Flowers finished with 17 points and Luscious Brown scored 11.

Kent-Meridian extended the lead to 59-24 after the third quarter.

Jefferson was led by Josh Duckworth and Daniel Park. The pair combined to score 37 of the Raiders’ 52 points. Duckworth finished with 19 and Park had 18 points.

Kent-Meridian outscored TJ, 9-3, during the first quarter, before the Raiders fought back to take a 15-12 halftime lead. Christy Kullberg and Jaylnn Piper both finished with seven points.

Bethel jumped all over in the first half, rolling out to a 35-10 lead at halftime. Beamer outscored the Braves, 16-14, in the second half.
