W INNERS!
Sign-ups open for Babe
Ruth, HR Little League
Hood River Volleyball Club’s U14 team made
a big statement earlier this month as it com-
peted in its first Columbia Empire Volleyball
Association tournament. The team, com-
prised of girls from around the valley, went
undefeated in 12 games to win the tourna-
ment. This is the first year the club has joined
the Portland-area CEVA league; the team
will play six more tournaments with the
league this season, which runs from January
to March. Pictured are (back to front, left to
right) Coach Suzie Preston, Madison James,
Hannah McNerney, Emily Curtis, Abby Bar-
tles, Bailey Frazier, Haylee Baker, Elena Kroll,
assistant coach Tonia Carter, (front) Haley
Hughes, Kennedy James and Emilie Ellifritz.

scratch 262 game that pro-
pelled him to a fine 636 se-
ries. That effort put Terry
129 pins over his average for
the session. Just how good is
that? Well, all-star Gordon
Sim, one of the best bowlers
in town, put together a
prodigious scratch 756 series
in the same session, which
just happened to also be 129
pins over his average.
The smooth Mr. Sim, with
the textbook style, knocked
out a lofty 288 game in his
big series. He also shot a
scratch 704 series in the
Thursday afternoon senior
Lads & Lassies league. Gor-
don was the only bowler in
town who climbed over the
magical scratch 700 series
mark last week. It takes a
cool, confident and very
competent customer to shoot
a scratch series over 750.

Hood River Valley High School wrestler Ian
Rand shows the glare of victory Wednesday
night after picking up a third-round fall
against his Hermiston opponent. Rand
trailed the whole match but outlasted his
opponent and turned the tide in the final
round for the pin. The Eagles weren’t quite
as successful in the dual against the de-
fending state champion Bulldogs, but they
put up a good fight. Jessica DeHart, Jason
Shaner, Jorge Ortega and Rand won for
HRV, while the other ten matches went to
Hermiston.
HRV continued its busy week of competi-
tion with a home dual Friday night against
Mountain View and the all-day Hood River
Elks Memorial tournament Saturday.

That’s a perfect description
of Mr. Sim.
Carl Casey is definitely in
the zone and he’s no
stranger to big numbers.
Carl has a long and impres-
sive resume of top scores in
this great game. He’s so
quiet and unassuming you
hardly know he’s there, but
when the dust settles you’ll
always find Carl in the thick
of the battle. Carl grabs the
clean-up slot on our fab five
after rolling nifty scratch
267 and 235 games on his
way to a solid 684 series in
the Monday night Industrial
league which was 114 pins
over his average. This marks
the fourth time that the easy
going Mr. Casey has made
the team of the week this
season — the most by any-
body in town!
Quinton Cox earns the an-
chor spot on the team after
putting together another
good performance in the

where he topped his average
by 109 pins. Quinton rolled a
nice 210 game in his series.
This is Quinton’s third ap-
pearance on the fab five this
season. He’s clearly been bit-
ten by the bowling bug after
sparking his 3 Fingers Deep
team to the Industrial
league title last season; he’s
bowling three leagues this
season. Bowling more usual-
ly leads to bowling better,
and its always more fun to
bowl better!
