Returning BlueJacket Christian Scholl’s tenure with the 2008 Kitsap squad may be short-lived.
Bremerton defender Jenn Smalley always played a big role in the success of the Knights’ girls soccer team, despite her name.
The diamond hasn’t been kind to Bremerton’s hardballers the past few seasons. But coach Ken Plowman, who just wrapped up his first year at the helm, appears on track to buck the losing trend. While the Knights finished the 2008 year with a losing record (3-16 overall, 3-13 league), the team showed signs of life, pulling out the occasional win while keeping most games close. Senior Eli Olson, who will play ball at Olympic College next year, offered the Knights’ underclassmen valuable experience on the field. Fellow senior Noel Frederick provided power, speed and consistent hitting in the middle of Bremerton’s lineup. Sophomore Brett Brown emerged midway through the season as a key player at the varsity level and will return next season, looking to pick up where he left off. For their efforts on the field, Olson, Frederick and Brown all earned bids on the 2008 All-Kitsap County Baseball Team, with Olson making the first team.

Charlie Littman’s come a long way.
From countless hours playing stickball on the streets of Manhattan’s Lower East Side, to helping reform the Kitsap BlueJackets, co-owner Littman is a man living his dream.
F – Francisco Garcia, senior, Bremerton: Simply put, Garcia was a scoring machine. Tallying 17 goals, along with six assists, Garcia led the Olympic League in scoring as well as overall points (40). Lightening fast and a magician with the ball, Garcia punished nearly every team he faced, overcoming occasional double- and triple-team coverage to put points on the board.

The cold weather, roster without many numbers and parent club facing its feeder team gave the game a preseason feel.
It also served as preparation for some, but pitcher Christian Scholl didn’t look like he needed it.
Scholl, a 6-foot right-hander who played at Green River Community College and signed with Washington State, allowed just one hit and struck out 13 batters in five innings Thursday for the Kitsap BlueJackets, who lost an 8-5 exhibition game against their feeder team, Olympia, at South Kitsap High School.
