Peterson takes dunk
to Chemeketa Storm
By ERIC A. HOWALD
Of the Keizertimes
McNary High School alum
Tregg Peterson recently signed
to play basketball with the
Chemeketa Community Col-
lege Storm.
“It pretty much came down
to free college and them run-
ning an offense similar to Mc-
Nary’s,” said Peterson.
With a 3.98 GPA when he
graduated in June, Peterson
qualifi ed for the Chemeketa
Scholars program which will
give him free tuition for two
years.
The 6-foot-2 Peterson lit
up the boards for the Celts as
a senior – averaging nearly 16
points per game – and ignited
crowds with his dunking abili-
ty. He topped it off with Player
of the Year honors for the en-
tire Greater Valley Conference.
In his best game of the season,
Peterson poured in 35 points.
Chemeketa’s head coach,
David Abderhalden, is already
excited to see how Peterson
contributes on the Chemeketa
court.
“The things we like the
most are his competitiveness,
his team-fi rst attitude and his
work ethic. His athletic abil-
ity coupled with his all around
skills fi t our up-tempo style of
play very well,” Abderhalden
said. “Our hope is to build on
the skills that he already has
with our initial focus being on
tightening up his ball handling
and improve the consistency
of his three-point shot.”
Peterson hit 25 of his 65 at-
tempts from three-point range
as a McNary senior, but Ab-
derhalden said the Storm sys-
tem is built on attacking the
rim beginning at half-court
leading to a lot of three-point
attempts.
“He will need to improve
in all facets of the game, but
those two areas are the easiest

as both are very repetition-
based and things he can do a
lot of this summer,” Abderhal-
den said.
Peterson said he was most
impressed with how unselfi sh
the Storm team was when he
was looking at his other op-
tions.
“They are a fast-paced
team with a lot of transition
scoring and sharing of the
ball,” Peterson said.
While Peterson will have
to compete for a starting spot
next fall, Abderhalden said
that wasn’t the best measure of
fi t for the Storm’s basketball
program.
“We tend to play nine or
more players a night so he
should have opportunities to
get on the fl oor. The gauge of
how well he is playing is prob-
ably better judged by whether
he is fi nishing games rather
than starting them in our pro-
gram,” Abderhalden said.
After his two years are up,
Peterson expects to begin
looking for a school with
an engineering program. In
the meantime, he’s ready to
see how he measures up in a
much bigger league.
“I get to see how good I
actually am playing against
guys who are bigger, stronger
and more athletic,” Peterson
said.

The Volcanoes lost an early lead to the Tri-
City Dust Devils in the sixh inning and never
regained it, losing 9-7, Wednesday, July 8.
A home crowd of 1,596 saw Salem-Keizer
take a 4-3 lead in the second before Tri-City
tied the score in the fi fth, but the Volcanoes re-
gained a one-run lead in the same inning. Then
the Dust Devils scored fi ve in the sixth.
Nick Gonzalez, the Volcanoes’ starting pitch-
er, had six strikeouts and no bases on balls in his
four innings but allowed seven hits. The visitors
from Pasco scored their fi rst two runs in the
fi rst, with Peter Van Gansen singling to left fi eld
on a 3-2 pitch and Jose Carlos Urena hitting a
home run over the left fi eld wall. It was the fi rst
homer against Gonzalez this season.
Walker Lockett, Tri-City’s starting and win-
ning pitcher, retired the Volcanoes in order in
the fi rst. His teammates added a run in the
second, with Austin Allen singling to right and
Mason Smith to left, both on grounders. Both
moved up a base as Henry Charles grounded
out. Kodie Tidwell got Allen home with a dou-
ble to right.
The Volcanoes got hot in the bottom of the
second. Jose Vizcaino Jr. hit a one-out infi eld
single but was out on a force play that put CJ
Hinojosa on fi rst base. Fernando Pujadas sin-
gled to center, and John Riley hit a grounder
into center over second base. With the bases
loaded, Shilo McCall reached fi rst on an error
by second baseman Tidwell that let Hinojosa
and Pujadas score. Ronnie Jebavy tripled to
center, driving in Riley and McCall.
Armando Paniagua, who was to become the
losing pitcher, took the mound at the start of
the fi fth. Rod Boykin led off with a single, stole
second, went to third as Van Gansen struck out,
and scored on a wild pitch.
A powerful throw by right fi elder Steven
Duggar kept Tri-City from adding a run in the
third. Ty France doubled and tried to score on
a single by Allen, but Duggar’s throw to catcher
Pujadas nailed him at the plate.
In the Volcano fi fth, Jose Vizcaino Jr. hit his
second home run of the season with the bases
empty.
The Dust Devils stormed back in the
sixth. Allen reached fi rst on an error by fi rst
baseman Riley and went to second as Smith
singled to left. With Charles at bat, Paniagua
picked off Allen on a throw to shortstop Hino-
josa. Charles hit an infi eld single. Both moved
up on a wild pitch, and Tidwell walked, load-
ing the bases. Paniagua hit Boykin, forcing
Smith home and leaving the bases jammed.
Urena walked, forcing Charles home. Luis

Salem-Keizer notches fi rst sweep of season
By HERB SWETT
For the Keizertimes
The Volcanoes completed
a fi ve-game series sweep, their
fi rst sweep of the season, and
on the road. There were no
Northwest League games
Tuesday.
July 9: Volcanoes 9,
Vancouver 3
Salem-Keizer started this
road series like an active vol-
cano, or an active bunch of
Volcanoes.
The visitors led all the way,
scoring two runs in the sec-
ond inning, three in the third
and three in the seventh be-
fore the Canadians scored all
three of theirs in the bottom
of the seventh. One more Vol-
cano run came in the eighth.
Brad Moss had three hits
in the victory and teammates
Miguel Gomez, CJ Hinojosa
and Julio Pena two each. Ju-
nior Amion and Moss drove in
two runs apiece, and Amion,
Hinojosa and John Riley each
scored two.
Volcano starter Logan
Webb won his third game of
the season, striking out four
and allowing fi ve hits but no
walks in his six innings. New-
comer Mac Marshall pitched
three innings for a save.
July 10: Volcanoes 8,
Vancouver 2
The Volcanoes were in
command from the start, mov-
ing past the .500 mark for the
season in their second straight
win over the Canadians.
Everyone in Salem-Keizer’s
starting lineup had at least one
hit for a total of 17. Fernando
Pujadas hit his third home run
of the season; he, Miguel Go-
mez and Steven Duggar drove
in two runs each. Ronnie Je-
bavy, who stole his fourth base,
scored two runs, as did Pujadas
and Mark Nelson.
Nolan Riggs, the Volca-
noes’ starting pitcher, ran his
record to 2-0 and had four
strikeouts in his fi ve innings.
Nathaniel Santiago and Jarret
Leverett pitched in relief. Van-
couver starter Francisco Rios
took the loss.
The Volcanoes scored four
of their runs in the second in-
ning and three in the third.
July 11: Volcanoes 4,
Vancouver 2
Salem-Keizer clinched the
series with its third straight
win over the host Canadians.
The fi rst Volcano run came
in the third inning. After
singles by Junior Amion and
Ronnie Jebavy and a walk to
Steven Duggar, Miguel Go-
mez drove in Amion with a
sacrifi ce fl y.
In the fourth, Jose Vizcaino
Jr. tripled, Chase Compton
walked and a sacrifi ce fl y by
Shilo McCall scored Viz-
caino. Amion tripled Comp-
ton home, and Jebavy singled
Amion home.
Vancouver scored once
in the third and once in the
fi fth. Both runs
came on errors, so
Drew Leenhouts,
the starting and
winning pitcher,
had no earned runs
in his fi ve innings.
He ran his record
to 3-1.
Cory Taylor re-
lieved Leenhouts
for three innings,
and Ryan Hal-
stead pitched the
ninth for his third
save. Ryan Borucki
was the Canadians’
starting and losing
pitcher.
