Even though the beginning of our summer break isn’t top notch yet, the end of our school year was. Sports-wise, pretty much everyone came out on top. Boys’ soccer made it to quarterfinals in state. With seven athletes competing in state, the track team had three of them place in the top five and even one, Ruby Roberts, won a state title. Girls’ tennis sent a double team to state to compete as well. Boys’ baseball wasn’t far behind the mayhem either.

The Kitsap BlueJackets appeared to mirror the Seattle Mariners through the early part of the 2008 West Coast Collegiate Baseball League season.
With slow bats, sloppy gloves and spotty pitching, the BlueJackets struggled to an 0-6 league start out of the gate, first getting swept by rivals Corvallis (Ore.) before dropping three in a row to Wenatchee to open a six-game road trip.
Since then, however, the BlueJackets have been on fire, sweeping Moses Lake to finish the trip on a high note before busting out the brooms again this week at home against rival Bellingham.
The BlueJackets slammed the Bells (4-8) into submission Wednesday, hitting not one but two grand slams in a 16-3 win.

Kingston native Ryan Gabrielli has a knack for bowling.
His mother Carol Gabrielli said the 13-year-old has always been a kid who excels at whatever he likes.
Apparently, Ryan likes bowling.
The Sylvan Way Christian School upcoming eighth-grader picked up his first bowling ball in September. His first average was a 78 and he rolled gutter ball after gutter ball.
