2013 Olympia area high school graduates playing collegiate athletics
With the college sports season almost upon us, here is an incomplete list of 2013 Olympia area high school graduates that are moving on to play collegiate athletics. Like I said, this is incomplete because I am sure that I am missing people. For example, I can’t believe just one athlete from River Ridge is going to play collegiately this season.
So if you know of someone that I missed or perhaps I have some bad information on somebody listed, please either email me at olysportsblog@gmail.com or leave a comment.

Baseball alumni: Smith wins NAIA title; Boyle and Weiks open NCAAs; Calhoun’s squad in NJCAA title
Black Hills alum Ryan Smith and his Faulkner University Eagles won the NAIA championship on Thursday night with an 11-4 win over Lewis & Clark State on LCSC’s home field in Lewiston, Idaho. Faulkner went 56-11 this season and was the #1 ranked team in the nation. Smith, a junior that pitched two years at Chemeketa Community College before transferring to the Montgomery, Alabama school, appeared in nine games for the Eagles posting a 2-0 record with a 2.52 ERA in five starts.
In other college baseball post-season news, two area high school baseball players open the NCAA Division I regionals tomorrow. River Ridge alum Brandon Boyle and South Alabama will take on Mercer in Starkville, Mississippi at noon while Capital grad Jourdan Weiks and the University of San Francisco will face Rice at 2:00 PM in Eugene, Oregon. Both games can be seen on ESPN3.
Boyle, a junior transfer from Lower Columbia Community College, has made 19 appearances and four starts for the Jaguars posting a 2-2 record striking out 36 batters over 45 2/3 innings of work. South Alabama is 42-18 so far this season and is the #2 seed in the Starkville regional, hosted by Mississippi State, the #1 seed. Mercer is the #3 seed while Central Arkansas is the #4.
Weiks had his struggles for the Dons in his sophomore season hitting just .159 in just 44 at-bats. He started 10 times and appeared in 34 games scoring 13 runs for the Dons. USF went 34-22 this season and are the #3 seed in the Eugene regional where they will face the #2 seed Owls. Oregon is the #1 seed and will face #4 South Dakota State on Friday.
One last local post-season note: Nick Calhoun, the incoming head coach for the Hawks Prairie Cardinals of the Puget Sound Collegiate League, is an assistant coach for Murray State College in Tishomingo, Oklahoma. With a 6-0 win over Heartland on Thursday night, the Aggies moved into the National Junior College Athletic Association championship game on Saturday. Calhoun’s squad is 45-22 this season and will take on either Madison College or LSU-Eunice for the title.

High school baseball
4A West Central/Southwest Bi-District tournament
Puyallup 7, Olympia 1
Olympia fell into the consolation bracket with their 7-1 loss to Puyallup in Kent on Tuesday night. Leif Hansen went 2-for-3 and Joey Knight had a pair of hits and the lone RBI for the Bears. They will face Union on Wednesday at Heritage Park in Puyallup in a loser-out game.
3A West Central/Southwest Bi-District tournament
Bonney Lake 4, Timberline 3 (9 innings)
Timberline’s season came to an end on Tuesday night at Heidelberg Park in Tacoma with a 4-3 extra innings loss to Bonney Lake. The Blazers were 17-5 this season but lost three straight games after winning the Narrows League regular season title.
2A District IV tournament
Tumwater 4, Hockinson 1
WF West 1, Capital 0
Garrett Terrell struck out eight and Anthony Correia went 2-for-3 with a pair of doubles and two runs scored to lead Tumwater to a 4-1 win over Hockinson in the opening round of the 2A District IV tournament. The T-Birds move on to play Mark Morris tomorrow in a winner-to-state game at WF West High School in Chehalis at 6:00 PM.
Tom Kerr went six innings giving up just one run while striking out seven, but that one run was enough for WF West to knock Capital into the consolation bracket with a 1-0 win. The Cougars face a loser-out game tomorrow in Centralia.
2B District IV tournament
Mossyrock 10, Northwest Christian 5
Northwest Christian’s season came to an end with a 10-5 loss to Mossyrock in Adna.
Boys soccer
2A District IV tournament (loser-out)
Capital 1, River Ridge 0
Capital barely kept their season alive tonight with a 1-0 win over River Ridge at Ingersoll Stadium. The Cougars will travel to Aberdeen on Thursday for another loser-out game.
Narrows League regular season
Mount Tahoma 2, North Thurston 1
Gig Harbor 6, Timberline 0
Bellarmine 5, Olympia 0
North Thurston’s Kenny Heo scored a late goal but Mount Tahoma held on for a 2-1 win at South Sound Stadium. The Rams’ loss, combined with Shelton’s 3-3 tie with Wilson, means that the top four teams in the 3A Narrows League finished with seven wins. Wilson finishes at 7-3-2 while Mount Tahoma, Shelton and North Thurston are all 7-4-1. Mount Tahoma swept North Thurston, while the Rams split with Shelton, and Shelton and Mount Tahoma split. More than likely, this means that the seeds break down like this for districts: #1 Wilson, #2 Mount Tahoma, #3 Shelton, #4 North Thurston. If that is the case, the Rams would play Bonney Lake in Auburn on Saturday night.
High school softball
Tumwater 15, River Ridge 0
Centralia 17, Capital 1
For the second straight day, Tumwater knocked off River Ridge 15-0. And for the second straight day, Kayleen Glasgo picked up the win in the circle and went 2-for-2 with two runs and two RBIs.

2A District IV consolation (loser-out)
River Ridge @ Capital – Ingersoll Stadium – 7:00 PM
River Ridge and Capital meet for the third time this season in a loser-out game in the 2A District IV tournament. The Cougars trumped the Hawks on 2-0 on March 28th at Ingersoll Stadium and the Hawks scored a 3-2 win thanks to an Agustin Arriaga goal in overtime on April 23rd at South Sound Stadium.

North Thurston vs. Mount Tahoma – South Sound Stadium – 7:00 PM
High school baseball
4A West Central/Southwest Bi-District tournament
Olympia vs. Puyallup – Art Wright Field, Kent – 7:00 PM
Olympia’s loss in the Narrows League championship game on Friday proved costly as it dropped them into a game against 19-2 and #1 ranked Puyallup at Art Wright Field in Kent. The Bears traveled to Puyallup early in the season and fell to the Vikings 7-0. The winner qualifies for state and will play in the district championship game on Saturday while the loser falls into the consolation bracket and faces a loser-out game on Wednesday at 7:00 PM in Puyallup.
3A West Central/Southwest Bi-District tournament
Timberline vs. Bonney Lake – Heidelberg Park, Tacoma – 7:00 PM
Timberline comes into the district tournament on a two game losing streak. Their 14-2 non-conference loss to South Kitsap snapped a 14 game winning streak and was followed by a 5-3 loss to North Thurston in the Narrows League championship game. That loss dropped them into a loser-out game against Bonney Lake at Heidelberg Park in Tacoma at 7:00 PM. The Blazers and Panthers met once this season already with Timberline taking a 7-6 win in Lacey on March 15th.
2A District IV tournament
Tumwater vs. Hockinson – Tumwater HS – 4:30 PM
Capital @ WF West – Bearcat Stadium, Chehalis – 4:30 PM
Tumwater finished tied for second in the 2A EvCo at 12-6 and won the tiebreaker with Aberdeen to earn a home game in the first round of districts. They draw Hockinson, who finished 6-6 in the GSHL and just 7-11 overall. The winner moves on to play either Centralia or Mark Morris on Wednesday in Chehalis while the loser drops into a loser-out game in Centralia.
With their fifth place finish at 6-12, Capital draws #1 seed and 16-2 WF West at Bearcat Stadium in Chehalis. The two teams met three times during the regular season with the Bearcats taking all three meetings by a combined score of 31-5. The winner plays either Aberdeen or Ridgefield on Wednesday in Chehlais while the loser plays a loser-out game in Centralia.
2B District IV tournament
Northwest Christian vs. Mossyrock – Adna HS – 3:30 PM
With their 15-3 loss to Adna yesterday, Northwest Christian faces a loser-out game today against Mossyrock in Adna. The Vikings fell to Napavine yesterday 13-10.

GNAC tournament championship
Simon Fraser 3, Saint Martin’s 2
Saint Martin’s 6, Simon Fraser 1 – Recap on SMUSaints.com
Saint Martin’s had two chances to win one game to claim the GNAC tournament championship on Saturday afternoon in Billings, Montana. Simon Fraser forced a final game with a 3-2 win in game one but Taylor Bakos shut down The Clan offense in game two and the Saints claimed their first GNAC title and an automatic berth to the NCAA tournament.
Simon Fraser scored right off the bat in game one with Trisha Bourchard’s two run homer in the first inning. They then added a run in the third inning when Bourchard stole home. Kelsey Hawkins went 5 1/3 innings giving up just four hits and one earned run for The Clan. The Saints did get one run in the bottom of the seventh inning but were unable to get the tying run home from third and Simon Fraser escaped with a 3-2 win.
Game two was a completely different story. Joslyn Eugenio homered in the second inning and Lacey McGladrey and Sam Munger each drove in a run in the Saints’ three run third inning and the Saints would put two more on the board in the fifth. Simon Fraser advanced runners past second base just twice in the game, one would score in the fifth but another was stranded at third when The Clan hit into an inning ending double play. Munger went 3-for-4 for the Saints extending her hitting streak to 22 games and took home the Tournament MVP.
The 22nd ranked Saints advance to the NCAA Division II Regionals. They will find out where they will go on Monday morning.

Saint Martin’s 8, Central Washington 0 – Recap from SMUSaints.com
GNAC Pitcher of the Year Sam Munger gave up just three hits over six innings and GNAC Player of the Year Lacey McGladrey homered and drove in four runs in Saint Martin’s 8-0 win over Central Washington on the first day of the GNAC tournament in Billings, Montana. Aubree Pocklington went 3-for-4 with a home run and three RBIs for the Saints.
While McGladrey and Pocklington get the offensive headlines with seven RBIs between them, it was Madi Davis’ RBI single in the second inning that proved to be the game winner. The game ended in the bottom of the sixth when Pocklington drove in Taviah Jenkins to make the score 8-0 to trigger the mercy rule.
Munger won her 21st game of the season and #22 Saint Martin’s moved to 37-13 overall. They will face Simon Fraser on Friday morning at 9:00 AM.
