Faidley Takes Scoring Crown
YAKIMA HERALD-REPUBLIC He nonetheless set the tournament’s career scoring record, hitting a layup with 6:51 left in the fourth quarter to eclipse the 252 points of La Center’s Dustin Van Weerdhuizen from 1995-98. As for where Faidley will continue his basketball career, his mother, Lisa, said Seattle Pacific and Master’s in California are among the schools being considered.
“We’ll make our decision in
the next couple of weeks,” she said. Artem Wallace, Toledo’s 6-foot-8 junior, had 23 points and 16 rebounds in the game Bone saw. Bone is a former Seattle Pacific head coach in his first season at the UW. College coaches are not allowed to publicly discuss recruiting as per NCAA rules. END OF AN ERA: It didn’t end the way they wanted it to, but Zillah’s seniors concluded a remarkable run on Friday. Shane Stonemetz, Kelly Anderson, Drew Affholter, Justin Ross and Nick Collins were mainstays on three Class 1A playoff football teams, including last fall’s 12-1 squad that advanced to the state championship game before losing to Archbishop Murphy. They also played on three state tournament basketball teams. “Sometimes things just don’t go your way,” said Stonemetz, a starting guard on the basketball team and, as a tailback in football, the Yakima Valley’s career scoring leader. “We played hard. Now it’s time for us to do what we can do in spring sports.” Stonemetz, who plays baseball for the Leopards, said he’ll visit Western Washington next weekend on a football recruiting trip. TEAMING UP: The Teaming Up program -- where teams make visits to schools to stress academic excellence, healthy lifestyles and good sportsmanship, saw 20 of 32 teams make school visits, the highest total ever for the program that is administered entirely by volunteer coordinators. OWLS ARE A HOOT: Gotta give a pat on the back to Overlake for its work with the younger students at Martin Luther King Elementary. For the second year in a row, the Owls trekked over to MLK, did a brief basketball demonstration, read with the primary students and talked about balancing athletics and education. "The Overlake Owls were awesome," said enthusiastic MLK principal Luz Juarez-Stump, adding that the school is looking forward to having a 2A team visit during that tournament next week. The students showed their appreciation as well, making posters and having the elementary school version of a pep assembly.
YOU WEAR A SIZE WHAT? Wallace dazzled students at St. Paul's with his
deeeeeeeep voice, thunderous slam dunks -- while jumping over a teammate, no
less -- and size 16 feet. The Indians made a visit to the small Catholic
school as part of the same WIAA program that took Overlake to MLK.
