Stellar year for sports teams
I recently wrote an essay for a competition put out by the selfless people at Nike Women’s. This competition sprang from their Let Me Play Fund, which generously awards prizes and money to female sports teams across the country.
KINGSTON — It was a goal that shouldn’t have gone in.
It was a score that never should have happened, as no one actually kicked the ball between Kingston’s goal posts.
But the ball did sail to the back of the net, causing the Buccaneers soccer team’s first loss of the season.

POULSBO — If the players were a little taller and older, the middle school basketball championship game between the Poulsbo Panthers and the Kingston Cavaliers could have easily been mistaken as an WNCAA championship game.
On Tuesday the teams were equally matched, as both demonstrated they know how to pass the ball, rebound and steal. The teams played fast. The athletes played aggressive, scrappy basketball, resulting in a double-overtime, white-knuckled thriller.

KINGSTON — The Buccaneers soccer team kicked its season off with a message: We may be new, but we can play.
On Saturday in their season opener the Bucs played last year’s top 2A Olympic League school, Sequim High School, and didn’t let the Wolves get a bite.
Ambitions and determination aside, sometimes a sports season begins on a sour note.
And the Vikings baseball team opened its season on such a note.
With a horror story of walks and missed opportunities at the plate on Friday, the Vikes dropped its season opener against the Bainbridge Island Spartans, 7-6.
