Former state and national wrestling champion and Olympic High graduate Ozzie Saxon will host the 2008 Technique/Competition Camp from June 30 to July 3 at OHS.
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.
It was one of the toughest decisions Scott McMinds has had to make.
After transforming the Klahowya boys basketball program from a winless 0-20 team in 2004-05 into a playoff program, McMinds has decided to take on another challenge, accepting the position of boys hoops coach at crosstown Central Kitsap High School.

It’s been a rough tenure for Eli Olson, Noel Frederick and the rest of the Bremerton Knights baseball team across the past three seasons.
While the Knights have combined to go just 5-45-1 since the duo were sophomores, both were given the opportunity to end their high school baseball careers on a high note, with both Bremerton ballers earning spots on the Olympic League roster at the 41st Kitsap Peninsula Senior Baseball Games at the Kitsap Fairgrounds Ballfields on June 5.
After preparing his team to take the field for the fourth time, Kitsap BlueJackets coach Matt Acker is still finding new challenges to overcome.
While Bremerton’s soccer team fell shy of coach Randy Lund’s preseason goal of making the playoffs, the Knights finished the 2008 season with plenty to remember.
With three players receiving 2008 All-Kitsap County honors, including senior Francisco Garcia’s first-team bid, Bremerton is well represented on the 2008 AKC Boys Soccer Team. Senior captain Ritchie Danskin and sophomore midfielder Matt Olson both earned honorable mention accolades.
The roster before the season looked strong enough to be the best in Jim Fairweather’s five seasons.
There was an offense with enough power and speed, and a pitching staff with two starters who threw around 90 mph.
But one starter fell ineligible and the other, Collin Monagle, didn’t start a game because of weakness in his right shoulder.
Senior Tyler Sartor said Fairweather had a simple message for the team: Deal with it.
