Makenzie Ball Pins

Her Way to Stocking Stuffer Championship

The Eatonville Cruiser girls wrestling team finished eighth out of 16 teams at the 9th annual Grizzly Stocking Stuffer tournament on Dec. 22 at Hoquiam High School, highlighted by a championship run from Makenzie Ball and several other top-four finishes. Ball won the 170-pound title to lead Eatonville, going 3-0 on the day with all three victories coming by fall. She pinned Aberdeen’s Sophia Rico in 52 seconds in the quarterfinals, beat North Mason’s Claire Miccio in the semifinals and closed out the title match with a fall over North Beach’s Brooke Scramlin in 3:05. Ball scored 24 team points in the process and earned her first career high school tournament title.

“The girl’s team did some great work at the Hoquiam Stocking Stuffer,” Eatonville coach Trinity Potter said. “Many of the girls showing their progress and several of them placing. Olivia Cole and Emory Simpson both took 4th, and Makenzie Ball taking 1st, for her first ever 1st place win in high school.”

At 100 pounds, Olivia Cole placed fourth. After receiving byes into the semifinals, Cole was pinned by Hoquiam’s Yazmin Balagot. She later dropped the third-place match by injury default against Tenino’s Kaylee Olson. Cole finished the day with four team points.

Emory Simpson also earned a fourth-place finish at 110 pounds and contributed 11 team points. After a quarterfinal loss, Simpson rebounded in the consolation bracket with back-to-back falls over Aberdeen’s Stella Cortez and Ilwaco’s Faith Caward before falling in the third-place match to Ilwaco’s Aila Soule.

Khloee Young put together a solid run at 115 pounds, scoring six team points. She opened with a fall over Montesano’s Haiden Denegar before losses in the semifinals and consolation round ended her tournament short of a placing. Autumn Cole also competed at 115 pounds but was eliminated after two matches.

At 120 pounds, Abigail Lay had one of Eatonville’s stronger overall performances despite not placing. Lay recorded two first-round falls, including a 37-second pin of Rainier’s Aden Cross, and scored eight team points. Sophia Stratton also picked up a win at 120 pounds with a fall over Rainier’s Brooke Holum.

Hailey Morris wrestled at 110 pounds but was eliminated after two losses. Harleigh Hemphill competed at 125 pounds and did not score team points.

Potter said the results reflected steady growth across the lineup.

“All the coaches are so proud of the progress these girls are putting out and are excited for a great season,” she said.

Mossyrock Three-point Barrage Sinks Lady Cruisers

Turnovers and perimeter shooting proved to be too much for the Eatonville Cruiser girls’ basketball team to overcome Saturday night as the Cruisers dropped a 59-16 non-league decision to the Mossyrock Vikings at Mossyrock High School.

Eatonville was shorthanded, missing three players from its normal rotation and pulling up two freshmen to help fill minutes. Head coach Chelsea Caramandi said the circumstances were not an excuse, but acknowledged the night did not reflect the program’s expectations.

“Tonight wasn’t who we are,” Caramandi said. “It was a mental game, and we didn’t respond the way we’re capable of.”

Eatonville struggled to find any rhythm offensively and finished with 30 turnovers, compared to 13 for Mossyrock. The Vikings made the most of those extra possessions and showcased their shooting depth, draining nine three-pointers on the night. Those shots from beyond the arc accounted for 27 of Mossyrock’s 59 points and helped the Vikings steadily pull away.

The Cruisers got off to a promising start. Morgan Laird opened the scoring by knocking down a pair of free throws to give Eatonville a 2-0 lead. That would be the lone lead of the night for the visitors. Mossyrock answered with an 8-0 run fueled largely by Eatonville miscues, as the Cruisers turned the ball over 11 times in the opening quarter. Savanna Price scored Eatonville’s other basket of the period, but Mossyrock had built a 16-4 lead by the end of one.

Eatonville again struck first in the

second quarter when Josie Lavergne scored early. The Vikings responded quickly, rattling off a pair of threepointers to stretch the lead. Avery Crowder briefly halted that momentum with a free throw, but Mossyrock then put together a decisive 16-0 run that essentially put the game out of reach. Sadie Mettler added a free throw late in the quarter, but Eatonville headed into the locker room trailing 40-8.

Mossyrock continued to apply pressure after halftime, outscoring Eatonville 17-6 in the third quarter.

Mettler, Laird and Jordyn Green each scored two points in the period as the Cruisers worked to generate offense against the Vikings’ defense. Still, Mossyrock’s lead grew to 57-14 heading into the final quarter.

Offense was limited on both sides in the final frame, with each team scoring just two points. Laird scored Eatonville’s lone basket of the

quarter, and Mossyrock closed out the game to secure the 59-16 victory. Laird led Eatonville with six points and added a rebound while going 2 for 2 from the free throw line. Mettler finished with three points, five rebounds and a steal. Green had two points, five rebounds and two steals. Lavergne contributed two points and four rebounds, Price scored two points, and Crowder chipped in one point and four rebounds.

Despite the lopsided score, Caramandi said the focus will remain on growth and accountability as the Cruisers move forward.

“We know our standard and we will get back to it,” she said.

The Lady Cruisers will look to regroup quickly as they close out 2025. Eatonville will finish 2025 with a road game Tuesday, Dec. 30, against the Rainier Mountaineers, with tipoff scheduled for 7 p.m.

Savvy Senior: Chair Yoga: Safe, Simple, and Beneficial for Older Adults

Dear Savvy Senior, I’ve been hearing a lot about chair yoga lately. My New Year’s resolution is to improve my health and get moving again, but I have trouble getting down on the floor. What can you tell me about this type of yoga?

p.m.

—Arthritic Abby

Dear Abby,

If you’re looking for a safe way to get active again but find traditional exercise routines difficult, chair yoga may be the perfect fit.

Chair yoga is a gentle form of yoga that’s done either sitting on a chair or using the chair for support while standing. It adapts traditional yoga poses so they’re accessible to people who may have limited mobility, balance issues, or difficulty getting down on the floor.

This practice helps improve flexibility, strength, and balance, boosts circulation and mobility, and promotes relaxation while reducing stress. This makes it an effective and safe way to stay active and support overall well-being at any age.

“ The goal with chair yoga is to stretch, not cause pain.”

A typical chair yoga session begins with simple seated postures, such as gentle twists, stretches for the arms and legs, or movements that open the hips and shoulders. These exercises loosen stiff joints, improve posture, and increase flexibility in areas of the body that often become tight with age.

The goal with chair yoga is to stretch, not cause pain. So go only as far as feels comfortable and don’t push beyond your limits.

If possible, consider joining a local chair yoga class. Many local senior centers, YMCAs, and community recreation centers offer chair yoga as part of their wellness or fitness programs. Some yoga studios and gyms may offer gentle yoga or chair yoga too. And if you’re enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan, you may be able to access classes for free through SilverSneakers.com.

If attending an in-person class isn’t an option, you can also practice chair yoga at home. There are chair yoga apps and many videos you can access on YouTube to guide you through a routine.

CHAIR EXERCISE OPTIONS

As an alternative to chair yoga, there are chair exercises you can add to your routine that can help improve strength and balance, reduce joint pain and prevent falls.

To execute some of these exercises, you’ll need some resistance equipment like light dumbbells, water bottles, soup cans or resistance bands.

• Sit-to-stand: For this exercise, sit at the edge of the chair, feet hip-width apart. Stand up without using your hands, then slowly sit back down. Use hands lightly on the chair or use a walker or cane if needed for support.

• Seated marches: Sit tall and alternate lifting one knee at a time toward your chest.

• Seated bicep curls: With elbows tucked in, curl weights towards shoulders, then lower with control.

• Seated overhead press: Press weights overhead from shoulder height, then slowly lower.

• Seated leg extensions: Extend one leg straight out and hold for 2-3 seconds, then lower and repeat.

• Heel raises: Lift heels off the floor, pause, and lower back down.

For noticeable benefits, these exercises should be performed at least three days a week, doing three sets of 8 to 12 repetitions.

It can also include standing poses like modified lunges or gentle balance work, with the chair always nearby for stability. Breathing exercises are often incorporated throughout the practice, encouraging participants to slow down, deepen their breath, and cultivate a sense of calm. Sessions usually end with a short period of guided relaxation or meditation, leaving participants refreshed and grounded.

HOW TO GET STARTED

To get started, you just need a sturdy chair without wheels and preferably without arms, and some comfortable clothes.

Send your questions or comments to questions@savvysenior.org, or to Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070.

CROSSWORD

Happy New Year from Eatonville Schools

Dear Eatonville Students, Staff, Families, and Community Members,

Happy New Year! As we welcome 2026, I hope the holiday season brought you cherished moments with loved ones and a chance to recharge. This time of year invites us to reflect on the past and dream big for the future and I am filled with gratitude and optimism as I look back and ahead.

2025 REFLECTIONS: GRATITUDE AND EXCELLENCE

This past year has been remarkable in so many ways. I am incredibly grateful for the time I’ve spent learning from our nearly 2,000 students. Whether visiting classrooms, attending assemblies, cheering at games, or admiring performances, I am continually amazed by their thoughtfulness, creativity, and determination. From our youngest preschooler to our graduating seniors, each student brings unique gifts to our district.

As adults, we owe it to them to provide the tools they need to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally so they can emerge as the leaders our world so desperately needs.

HONORING OUR STAFF AND TEAMWORK

Equally inspiring are our staff members, who work tirelessly each day to ensure students have the support they need to succeed. From teachers and paraeducators to bus drivers, custodians, office professionals, and administrators, every team member plays a crucial role in fulfilling our Eatonville Promise: Every student will be known, valued, and supported.

One of my greatest joys as superintendent has been listening to and learning from our dedicated staff. Their collaboration, professionalism, and shared commitment to continuous improvement fuel our mission and strengthen our district.

ACADEMIC FOCUS: MATH AND STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT

Our strategic plan continues to guide our work and keep us accountable as we focus on student achievement and preparation for life beyond high school.

This includes our Portrait of a Graduate, which identifies the skills, knowledge, attributes, and competencies necessary for a successful transition after graduation and aligns with both state requirements and Eatonville’s values.

As part of this focus, I am very appreciative of the work of our math committee members, who meet regularly to examine best practices for high-quality math instruction and to review our current instructional materials. Their thoughtful, collaborative approach reflects our commitment to ensuring all students receive strong, consistent, and engaging math instruction that supports both foundational skills and critical thinking.

2026: A YEAR OF OPPORTUNITY

As we step into this new year, we have much to celebrate and important work ahead. January is School Board Appreciation Month, and I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to our board members for their countless volunteer hours, thoughtful leadership, and unwavering commitment to our students

and community. Please join me in thanking them for their service. I also want to thank our community for your continued support of Eatonville schools, particularly through the approval of vital levies. Your trust allows us to provide the resources, programs, and opportunities our students need to succeed, and we work hard every day to honor that trust.

LOOKING AHEAD WITH HOPE

As we move through 2026, I am confident that by working together with commitment, teamwork, and a shared focus on academic success we will continue to make meaningful progress for our students. Thank you for being an integral part of this incredible community. Here’s to a productive and inspiring year ahead.

We are Eatonville Strong.

With gratitude and hope,

District
