Not much new was said by Issaquah Mayor Fred Butler in his State of the City address Monday. From the Central Issaquah Plan, to the increasing business and operations tax, to Olde Town’s preservation, tourism promotion, transportation issues and the obligatory tributes to community pride, the talking points were nothing that hadn’t been repeated many times in the past year -- some of them frequently in the first month of the new year alone.

But Monday’s speech marked the first time since the council began discussing transportation concurrency reform that a city official appealed directly to citizens to think about funding for transportation.

Butler’s comments came in the midst of his address, after he had listed off the city’s accomplishments in reforming its transportation concurrency plan, obtaining $18 million in state grants and crafting a mobility master plan that will affect the arterials for drivers, bicyclists and pedestrians alike.

A 25-year-old man died early Wednesday morning after his car struck a tree on Front Street South.

Issaquah police are investigating the accident and death.

Shortly before 12:45 a.m. Feb. 11, approximately when the accident occurred, the victim’s silver sedan was traveling northbound on Front Street South. Near the Sixth Avenue Southeast intersection, it collided with a tree in the dividing median.

The driver was dead when police arrived at the scene, Sgt. Jeff Johnson said based on information he received from night shift officers. The victim was alone in the vehicle.

The intersection was briefly closed while police investigated.

Olympia from the ground floor

BY DANIEL NASH ISSAQUAH&SAMMAMISH REPORTER

High school freshman Heather Johnson received a ground-level education in Washington state government last month thanks to help from Rep. Chad Magendanz of Issaquah.

The young soccer player and opera singer arrived in Olympia as a fresh-faced

recruit to the legislative page program as the 2015 state legislative session began Jan. 12.

Johnson was excused from school for one week to serve in the Legislature and learn about state government.

Most of the time, she helped ensure day-to-day business ran smoothly by delivering paperwork and office supplies to the offices of lawmakers. Pages additionally

attended two hours of civics school each day, learning the ins and outs of the legislative process from former government professionals. By the end of the week, Johnson introduced a mock bill creating a sales tax on plastic bags and a credit for returning them to the store.

It passed, Johnson said, with just a touch of pride in her voice.

Friday, February 13, 2015

“I didn’t realize how hard it was to pass a bill or get it through committee,” she said.

Johnson displayed an early interest in politics. She followed her brother’s footsteps into student government at the Eton School, winning the school vice presidency in seventh grade and the presidency in eighth grade.

She learned about the page program while attending a fundraiser for U.S. Rep. Dave Reichert attended by former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich. The idea struck her fancy and she applied for a sponsorship through Magendanz, who represents the 5th Legislative District.

“Heather did a great job and I thank her for her service,” Magendanz said.

Johnson took a breather from student government when she began her freshman year at Interlake High School in Bellevue, but she said she’s now interested in running for a position for her sophomore year.

And Johnson plans to pursue more page programs in the future.

“They have a (program) in college where you get to be there for a full term,” she said.

City renegotiates contract with administrators’ union

BY DANIEL NASH ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

Beginning this year, Issaquah city administrators will see lower pay for entry level colleagues and a reduction in the sick leave they can keep. In exchange, they’ll see a little more money in their health plan coffers and their union will be able to give input on business related to the city’s health plan.

The city of Issaquah recently renegotiated its 2015-2016 contract

with the Issaquah Administrative Staff Association.

The city council on Feb. 2 approved a contract with the ASA following a private executive session. According to a publicly released draft version of the contract, the agreement covers regular full-time employees of the city, employees who work multiple positions that add up to 40 hours a week and regularly scheduled part-time employees who work more than 20 hours a week.

Under the new agreement, entry level employee pay will be scaled down 5 percent below the current pay schedule.

Employees will also be able to hold on to less of their sick time, the maximum holding amount dropping from 1,280 hours to 960.

The lesser amount adds up to 120 sick days, which would take 10 to 15 years to earn under employees’ sick leave schedule.

However, the city’s contribution to employees’ Health Reimburse-

ment Account will rise $50 per year in the contract, to $1,100 in 2015 and $1,150 in 2016.

The union also will be able to participate in the Health Care Advisory Committee, an employee group that weighs in on health insurance benefits and the self-funded medical plan.

The ASA president and three administrators negotiated the new contract with elected officials.

“The city would like to thank the negotiating team for their

good work and the union for their good work on a daily basis,” Human Resources Manager Debbie Mills said.

The contract was the first labor agreement of the year for the city. Negotiations are expected to be complete soon on the city’s new contract with the Issaquah Police Support Services Association.

Bott on new job: Transit is key to a strong economy Matt Bott’s last day with the Greater Issaquah Chamber of Commerce was a quiet one.

Jan. 30 was sunny. Even at the peak of rush hour, the roads were clear of commuters who had seemingly taken off the Friday before Super Bowl XLIX as a holiday. Many had shown up at the city of Issaquah’s pregame rally that afternoon. Bott had instead gone to his son’s third-grade science fair, where he displayed an experiment testing the strength of water’s surface tension.

Bott said he felt a little bit wistful about leaving his position as CEO of the Chamber after six years with the business networking group.

“This has been an incredible organization and an incredible community,” he said. “I’m glad I had the chance to contribute to its mission.”

After a week off, on Monday Bott began MATT BOTT his latest job managing Sound Transit’s government and community affairs for the Eastside. In that position, he’ll be doing outreach to Issaquah, Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond, Renton and Bothell, working with the communities as the light rail East Link extension moves toward its target of opening in 2023.

onset of the Great Recession. He had a unique background: Though he had just completed his MBA, he had studied political science prior and thus came to the position with a mind to involve the business community in government affairs. Membership rose 20 percent during his tenure and the Chamber did indeed become an amicable political force in Issaquah, most recently working with the city on finding a compromise in increased business and occupations taxes.

Bott also made sure the Chamber was fulfilling its job as a “convener,” he said, connecting local businesses with one another and offering continuing education

programs.

His chief goal was to help keep Issaquah’s economy strong and grow it stronger, maintaining the Eastside as “one of the best places to live and work in America,” he said.

“One of my favorite books is ‘The Coming Jobs War’ [by Jim Clifton],” Bott said.

“That book paints a picture of economic growth by keeping jobs in town.

“What we tried to do here was to make sure that voice is connected to civic affairs.”

Limit options on opting out of measles vaccine

T

he sudden rash of measles cases in our state and around the country point to a problem that shouldn’t exist: too many parents are opting out of vaccinating their kids against this highly contagious respiratory disease. It’s an invitation to sickness — mild for most — but for a small fraction of the population, complications like pneumonia and encephalitis can occur.

Given the safety and benefits of a measles vaccine, there is little reason for parents to not take this preventive measure for their children.

Measles vaccinations are required for kids, K-12, to attend state schools, but parents can — and do — opt out of getting their children vaccinated for several reasons: religious beliefs, medical issues, or a “personal” reason. The first two are understandable. The latter is not.

Nationwide, about 95 percent of children have had a measles vaccination before they enter kindergarten. To their credit, almost all Issaquah and Sammamish public schools are at or below that number, according to state health data for the 2011-2012 school year.

Clark Elementary in Issaquah at 9 percent opting out and Issaquah Valley Elementary School at 7 percent. In Sammamish, state data puts the Renaissance School at 7.7 percent unvaccinated. At all three schools, the vast majority of parents opting out do so for personal, not medical or religious, purposes.

Some parents think the vaccine can cause autism, perhaps based on a 1998 study in a British medical journal.

Not true. The paper was later retracted and thoroughly discredited. Other studies have found no link.

House Bill 2009, introduced by Rep. June Robinson, DEverett, would remove the personal or philosophical belief exemption. The Washington State Medical Association, for good reason, supports the bill.

The Legislature should take swift action on this and make our kids‚ and everyone‚ healthier and safer.

Another test-score battle begins

L

awmakers, teachers and the state public schools chief are gearing up for another battle over whether student test scores should be used to evaluate teachers and principals.

State Sen. Steve Litzow, R-Mercer Island, introduced two bills last week that would require that results from state student assessments be calculated into teacher performance reviews, starting with the 2016-2017 school year.

JERRY CORNFIELD Federal education leaders are demanding that Washington chisel the requirement into law if the state wants to regain a waiver from the No Child Left Behind law.

The state lost the waiver last year, meaning the state and 297 public school districts couldn’t spend about $40 million in federal money the way they wanted. It also meant that 1,916 schools across the state were deemed failing by the U.S. Department of

Education, and letters had to be sent to parents explaining why.

Through much of the 2014 legislative session, Litzow, Superintendent of Public Instruction Randy Dorn and Gov. Jay Inslee tried to get lawmakers onboard.

But they collided with the statewide teachers union, the Washington Education Association. Its leaders staunchly oppose the federal dictate and insist that the evaluation process created by state lawmakers is working as intended, weeding out lesstalented teachers.

The union flexed political muscle to keep most Democratic allies from bending.

And in a deliciously dramatic moment in the state Senate last session, a bill originally crafted by a Democratic senator to appease the feds was brought up for a vote by Litzow.

It was defeated 28-19, with 20 Democrats — including the original author, Sen. Rosemary McAuliffe of Bothell — and eight Republicans voting against the measure.

That didn’t end the scuffle.

In the ensuing days, Inslee met with U.S. Secretary of Education

?

Question of the week:

“Should the state eliminate ‘personal’ reasons for parents to opt out of having their kids vaccinated for measles to attend public school?”

Arne Duncan to verify what the state needed to do to avoid becoming the first to lose its waiver.

Then he and Dorn drafted a new bill and tried to persuade lawmakers to vote on it, which they wouldn’t.

“I take my hat off to the WEA,” Dorn said in August of the teachers union. “They did a better job than we did. Maybe this time we can get past the rhetoric and propaganda and do what’s right for kids.”

Litzow isn’t predicting how the legislative rematch will turn out. He thought he had enough Democrats in tow last year. He won’t make the same mistake this time.

“We’re going out and having conversations right now,” he said.

Inslee expended political capital last year trying to get lawmakers to implement a test-scores provision for evaluating teachers, and he has nothing to show for it. It’s not clear how hard he’ll push this go ‘round.

Litzow said he’s not spoken with the governor on the subject.

Superintendents of school districts mostly avoided the fray in 2014, but

a unique position due to its work on the 2012 Central Issaquah Plan. From that plan, city development services staff were able to estimate a $119 million shortfall in accounted funds to pay for traffic improvements.

Consultant Randy Young suggested new sales taxes, road levies, property taxfunded bonds and local car tab fees -- many of which would require voter approval -- as sources of revenue to cover the gap.

“We have redefined the way Issaquah will grow in the decades ahead,” Butler said in reference to the Central

Issaquah Plan. “Up, not out; compact, not sprawling; and more reliant on our feet, not on our cars.”

He also used his address to highlight the impending addition of a social sustainability coordinator to staff, tasked with spearheading the city’s human services strategy.

“Our community, like cities throughout the Puget Sound region and the nation, is not immune to the challenges of homelessness, substance abuse and mental illness,” Butler said. “Despite these challenges, Issaquah is a safe community that respects the dignity, rights and safety of everyone.”

He knew Sound Transit would have a key role to play in the area’s economic wellbeing, considering the population of the Puget Sound is expected to increase by 30 percent in the next 20 years.

“Transit and transportation is one of the key components of a strong economy,” he said.

might be engaged this year.

At legislative hearings last fall and earlier this session, superintendents expressed frustration at receiving federal money they couldn’t spend due to restrictions related to the loss of the No Child Left Behind waiver.

A requirement to ensure student access to private tutors exposed some families to unscrupulous hard-sell tactics, the superintendents said.

Oh, and sending letters to parents telling them their child attends a failing school hurt morale, they said.

The WEA, meanwhile, is still opposed to using student test scores in evaluating teachers.

Sound Transit sets low-income fare for light rail The Sound Transit Board has approved a new reduced fare for low-income riders on Sound Transit’s Link light rail services in Seattle.

The new low-income fare category aligns with a new low-income fare on King County Metro bus routes.

The new fares will be implemented in March.

All other light rail fares will increase by 25 cents to offset the lowincome fare. Sound Transit will provide the fare discount to riders who pay with special

low-income ORCA cards issued by King County Metro or Kitsap Transit.

The reduced fare will be available to adult riders with incomes at or below 200 percent of the

federal poverty level — about $23,000 in annual income for an individual.

To qualify, a household of four would have an annual household income at or below $47,700.

More information on how to qualify for the new program is available at http://metro.kingcounty. gov/fares/fare-changeeffective-03-01-15.html

Joint replacement isn’t a life saver.

But it is a lifestyle saver.

Despite moving on from the Chamber, Bott has no plans to leave Issaquah anytime soon, he said.

Bott originally hails from Boise, Idaho, but he and his family came to Washington state from Washington, DC. They originally settled in Seattle but Bott and his wife knew they wanted to find someplace different to raise their kids. When they found Issaquah, they knew they had found home, he said.

“We hope to never leave here,” he said.

“To really help our state’s students, the Legislature should focus on its paramount duty to fully fund K-12 education this

Value Village set to open Thursday After a month’s delay, Value Village will open its Issaquah location in the old Albertsons building according to an announcement made Tuesday. Donations made in the location’s opening days, through Feb. 21, will benefit the Issaquah Schools Foundation’s Basic Student Needs Program.

The thrift store will open in part of the nearly 50,000-square-foot retail space that has sat empty of permanent tenants for nearly six years as a stubborn reminder of the lasting effects of the Great Recession.

Property manager Merlone Geier Partners could only lease the space seasonally to the Spirit Halloween Store, during the fall.

The building was remodeled last year to hold two tenants after Value Village

Value Village is the name given to Pacific Northwest locations of the thrift shops owned by Savers, Inc. Located in Bellevue, Savers is a for-profit dealer of used goods. However, Savers stores partner with local nonprofits to whom they send donations. Beneficiaries receive donations as used items are given to the store, regardless of whether said items ultimately sell.

Value Village’s Issaquah location will partner with Big Brothers Big Sisters.

Federico and Faviola Ramos, the owners and operators of Agave Cocina & Tequilas Restaurants, are expanding their Issaquah Highlands location by 25 percent.

The restaurant will add a retractable seasonal patio adjacent to the restaurant’s front door.

BUSINESS “We are very thankful to our loyal, wonderful customers to be able to make this sizable investment at our original location, Federico said. “Not only are we adding seats to a relatively small interior restaurant space, but we are hopefully also solving a problem we have had since day one: keeping the elements out.”

He explained that the seats near the host area are sometimes plagued on cold, windy, wet Northwest days.

“Our guests comfort is really our ultimate motivator.”

Construction began just before Christmas and the restaurant remains open during the remodel.

Work should be completed by April.

After that time, there will be a celebration marking the opening of the new indoor/outdoor space.

Agave Cocina & Tequilas Restaurants have been family owned and operated since 2009.

The Issaquah restaurant is located at 1048 N.E. Park Drive.

Rep. Goodman reelected to committee Rep. Roger Goodman has been reelected by his colleagues to continue chairmanship of the House Public Safety Committee.

“In a heartbeat, a violent crime or a natural disaster can take away everything — your home, your family, your life,” said Goodman (D-45th). “Our state laws must do whatever is possible to prevent crime and respond to floods, wildfires and landslides, because lives are literally at stake.”

Rep. Goodman, who represents Sammamish, began chairing the Public Safety Committee back in 2012 and since

then has lead the committee in passing bipartisan legislation to crack down on impaired driving, regulate drones, reform juvenile sentencing, and combat sex trafficking.

“We’ve learned that some things that sound great on TV or in the newspaper actually cost a lot of money and don’t prevent crime at all,” Goodman said. “And we’ve found that things that don’t get the big headlines actually work well to stop crime and save taxpayer dollars. So it’s important to keep trying different options and testing them rigorously, because in the end, we should

do what works, not just what sounds good.”

Washington’s criminal justice laws and programs are often picked for review by the state’s Institute for Public Policy, which looks at whether new laws and programs actually reduce crime and whether reforms are cost effective.

“Criminals should be punished, but if that’s all you focus on, you’re missing the point,” Goodman said. “The best way to tackle crime is to prevent it from happening at all. Police officers and prosecutors like solving a case — but they like

it better when they can prevent a bad situation, actually stop crime before it happens, ROGER so there’s no GOODMAN crime victim who got hurt or killed.”

In addition to chairing the Public Safety Committee Rep. Goodman will also serve on the Judiciary and Environment Committees.

The Legislature is scheduled to convene on January 12 for a 105-day session.

City seeks public input on service providers

Megan Campbell, Issaquah/Sammamish Reporter

Sammamish residents have until the end of the month to contribute feedback regarding their service providers.

This is the second study in which the city is gathering public opinion to assess existing trash and cable providers.

Residents can access the anonymous survey on the city’s webpage. The mostly multiple choice questionnaire is designed to guide the city in its assessment of service providers as contracts with these providers expire.

The city contracts with two garbage pickup providers, Waste Management Inc., and Republic Services Inc. Comcast Corp. is the primary cable TV provider for the city.

Waste Management serves the residents north of Northeast Eighth Street and Inglewood Hill Road. Republic Services pick up waste in the southern portion of the city, south of Northeast Eighth Street and Inglewood Hill Road.

Both trash pick-up service contracts expire at the end of

2016. Comcast’s contract expired in 2004.

Typically, service contracts with the city are long-term, lasting several years.

Elway Research Inc., a professional public opinion research firm, recently conducted a similar study. This survey questioned residents chosen at random.

The city expects to have the results to this study in March.

The direct link for the city’s current survey is www. sammamish.us/News. aspz?ID=1541.

State Patrol launches online program for VIN inspections

The State Patrol is announcing the launch of an online program designed to streamline the process for scheduling a Vehicle Identification Number inspection.

The new system will help drivers determine if their vehicle needs an inspection.

A VIN is the unique number assigned to every vehicle by the manufacturer. While the state issues license plates, VINs are the one true identifier of every vehicle.

The State Patrol is required to do VIN inspections on vehicles that have been rebuilt after being destroyed or declared a total loss by an insurance company. They also perform physical inspections as required on vehicles reported stolen, homemade vehicles, or other vehicles without a proper VIN. Previously, those needing to schedule an inspection needed to call by phone, leave a message and then wait for a return call to schedule the appointment. Last year alone, inspectors handled over 47,000 phone calls.

In the process, they discovered that many customers didn’t need an inspection at all.

Now, customers need only go to wsp. wa.gov and select VIN Inspection Schedule under “Hot Topics” on the right side of the page. With the new program, the WSP expects phone calls to drop dramatically and wait time for inspections to decrease significantly over time. For ore information or to make comments or give feedback, go to vinschedule@wsp.wa.gov.

BAM hosts record visitors

BY JOSH STILTS

BELLEVUE REPORTER

The Bellevue Arts Museum broke all of its attendance records last year as more than 81,000 visitors toured its exhibits, 32 percent more than in 2013.

Executive director Linda Pawson said she was thrilled, but not necessarily surprised as the museum celebrates its 10th anniversary of its new mission and the halfway point of its five-year plan.

“It’s a testament to a lot of hard work from our staff. We really focused on what the community wants,” she said. “Bellevue has changed a lot and we have a plan in place to address what we’ve heard from people.”

Even a two-week closure of Bellevue Way due to construction for the Lincoln Square expansion didn’t deter people from coming, Pawson said, adding GOI Contractors, the group selected for the build, have been great neighbors throughout the process.

Pawson said she’s confident the museum will break the record again this year, adding “it’s only a matter of time before we exceed 100,000 visitors.”

In the past year the museum also strengthened its partnership with the hugely popular winter celebration Snowflake Lane, which performed nightly outside its front door, offering crafting supplies for children to make Snowflake Lane Princesses.

The unofficial “year of pulp” at BAM kicked off with a wildly successful show from stylist and designer Isabelle de Borchgrave, featuring

her elaborate paper dress collection.

“We heard from lots of people who came a dozen times or more to see the collection,” Pawson said.

The huge influx of people meant a lot more memberships for the museum and many more return visitors.

Borchgrave’s paper dress exhibit was followed by another pulp exhibit “Folding Paper,” which examined the world of origami and its connection to the Pacific Northwest.

That exhibit, in particular, proved to be a multi-generational teaching tool among hundreds of families near and far who came to visit, Pawson said.

Shortly after that exhibit the museum held its annual Kid’s Day which drew roughly 14,000 visitors during the three-day event.

This year, Pawson said the museum will feature an even greater variety of exhibits kicking off with its third biennial symposium “Knock on Wood” from 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., Saturday Jan. 31.

Two new exhibits also will be unveiled in February and March, including Kiln-Glass collections from emerging artists and “Read My Pins: The Madeleine Albright Collection” from the former Secretary of State.

“We want to be a community space where people can engage, find a piece of serenity, of peace, completely refreshing.” Pawson said.

“We want it to be an environment that’s peaceful and stimulating at the same time.”

In 2012, Emmy Award-winning journalist Penny LeGate lost her daughter Marah to a heroin overdose. On Wednesday, March 4, LeGate will share what she’s learned as the parent of a child who struggled with substance abuse as the keynote speaker at Youth Eastside Services’ annual Invest in Youth Breakfast.

The event takes place from 7:30–8:45 a.m. at the Hyatt Regency Bellevue.

“If somebody had told me I would have a daughter who was addicted to heroin and would die of heroin, I would say ‘No, no, no. That’s not my story, that’s not my life.’ But that, in fact, is my life and I’m here to say it can happen to anybody,” said LeGate in a 2014 MyNorthwest.com article.

As an anchor, reporter and documentary producer, LeGate was a fixture in Seattle TV and radio for decades. Now a freelancer, LeGate covers stories across the globe, from Ethiopia and Rwanda to Nepal and Vietnam. Her stories frequently chronicle the struggles of developing nations, such as Africa’s AIDS orphans, Ebola, access to water, maternal health care and empowerment of women and girls.

Proceeds from the event benefit YES’ Lifeline Fund, which helps kids and teens get the help they need — including substance abuse treatment services — regardless of their family’s ability to pay.

Donations to the Lifeline Fund also support prevention and education programs for the greater Eastside community.

Seattle TV and Radio personality Penny LeGate will share her experience with family substance abuse March 4.

Meeghan Black, also an Emmy Awardwinning journalist, will emcee the event.

Black, formerly with KING TV, has reported on everything from presidential visits to natural disasters.

Spartans defeat Eagles on senior night Skyline team captain McKerlich unstoppable in regular season finale

What’s happening in the world of sports and recreation

WRESTLING Eagles capture KingCo title

BY SHAUN SCOTT ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

Skyline Spartans junior forward Taylor McKerlich turned in her most dominant performance of the 2014-15 season against the Issaquah Eagles girls basketball team.

McKerlich scored a game-high 24 points and freshman Jade Loville added 17 points in the Spartans' 66-39 victory on senior night in the regular season finale against the Eagles on Feb. 5 at Skyline High School in Sammamish.

Skyline improved its overall record to 12-5 with the win. Issaquah dropped to 8-10 with the loss.

Spartans head coach Joe Fithian said his team is not only on a five-game winning streak, but also is peaking at the right time.

"Nobody has been playing better basketball than us the past three or four weeks," Fithian said. "We are just gelling. That was really the story of the game tonight. I'm really pleased with how we've played."

The Spartans had a 14-point lead at halftime and outscored the Eagles 14-7 in the third quarter to put the game

Fithian said the spectacle of senior night while simultaneously facing a cross-town rival had no effect on his mentally tough squad.

"We have taken on the personality that it is all just business. I can tell just by looking at our team before the game if it's going to be a good night or a bad night. Tonight we were all business," he said.

With the playoffs looming on the schedule Fithian said the focus isn't on

the possible opponents, but instead is on themselves and their own style of play.

"Our goal is to continue to win.

Only one team goes home without a loss. We're just going to keep playing our style of basketball," Fithian said.

"One of the things I keep preaching to the players is that we are a damn good basketball team when we play Skyline basketball."

BY SHAUN SCOTT ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

Issaquah, which suffered its lone loss of the 2014-2015

The Eagles had already clinched the Class 4A KingCo regular season league title and improved their overall record to 15-4 (14-1 league) with the win. Skyline dropped to 10-10 overall.

"It was a big factor. They were our only league defeat this year. We wanted to come out here and play with a chip on our shoulder and play how we are capable of playing. The outcome supported that," Gibson said.

Issaquah head coach Jason Griffith wasn't surprised his team came into the contest with their game face on in full force.

"I think the biggest thing that our kids understood was that we weren't ready to go the first time we played them,” Griffith said. “You got to give Skyline credit, they played phenomenal the first time we faced them. They earned that 'W.' For us that game gave us a lot of motivation. We knew we had chance against them three weeks later and were looking forward to taking care of

The Eagles stingy defense held the Spartans to a mere 12 field goals and controlled the game from the onset.

"We pride ourselves on holding the top scorers on the other team to below their average and this night was no different," Gibson said. "It

was a team effort. We boxed out well too and that leads to offense. It was a well-rounded game for us tonight."

Griffith said hard-nosed defense is a staple of his squad.

"We're not a big team and we're not going to block any shots at the rim, but we fly around, get in the passing lanes and force teams to make tough decisions," he said.
