faces an evenly matched Bellarmine Prep (1-3); Vashon (2-3) faces 2013 champ Nathan Hale (0-2). A loss by Vashon and a win by North Kitsap would bump NK into third place
in the Olympic League. Losses by Peninsula (2-2) at Stadium (1-2), and Klahowya (1-1) vs. Gig Harbor (1-3), and NK would enjoy a tie for first in the league.
sees between 80-100 sign ups for football alone. The Tribe alone has about 200 members younger than 18, according to Sullivan. “So, youth recreation is a big deal,” she said. The Tribe just completed a new, outdoor basketball court and skatepark. Since the basketball court was completed, a lot of older teens have been showing up to play, Sullivan said. A sports complex of some kind, then, would benefit both the Tribe and surrounding commu-
nities. Sullivan said the Tribe wants sports fields, if they are approved, to be safe and accessible to Tribe members. The Tribe would want to make sure anything that is developed is done with courtesy to neighbors and won’t congest traffic. Sullivan said the association — relatively new — has done well, and helped a lot of youth from the Tribe become involved in sports. The association has had help from former NFL and Seahawk tight end Charlie Young. Young has connec-
tions that could help the association build relationships with potential investors, according to Berger. Some of Kitsap’s elected officials have also shown an interest in the development of the sports association and the sports complex, Berger said. A sports complex could also mean the creation of an umbrella organization, which could host more than Pee Wee sports. For now, however, the focus is finding the land. And Taylor said as far as that goes, it’s in the hands
of the Tribe. Whether a sports complex is built relatively quickly or not, the association has developed fast. The association began accepting registration for Pee Wee football and cheerleading in July 2013. It has expanded to offer four more sports. It’s an interesting situation, Taylor said. The association “started out as a snowball.” Now, it’s “going downhill pretty fast.” The snowball swallowed Berger up, Taylor quipped.

Roberts sets WSU record during Stanford Invite STANFORD — Chalk up another school record for Kingston High School graduate Ruby Roberts. Roberts set a new school record in the 5,000 meter run for the Washington State University track and field team during the Stanford Invitational at Cobb Track and Angell Field, April 4. Roberts ran the 5,000 meter in 16 minutes 9.02 seconds. The previous record was 16:14.55, ran by Ruby Roberts Anna Blue in 2003. She finished 10th in the event in section 2. The school record tacks on to the 3,000 meter record she set earlier this year (9:15.79). She is also in the top 10 of Washington State's all-time record in the mile, 1,500 meter, and 3,000 meter steeplechase.

Because of its bylaws, the association is allowed to register youth from Hansville to Indianola; registration is determined by zip code. The youth sports association’s programs utilize a variety of venues, from the Kingston Middle School football field to a building in the Kennedy Business Park for wrestling and gymnastics. The association practices baseball at the Port Gamble S’Klallam ball field. It has also used the Tribe’s gym for basketball and wrestling. More than 500 families are involved with the association, according to spokesman Ross Taylor. He said the association
