New team for Shoni;
Jude tries out for Wings
Scott qualifies for Fargo National tourney
Quentin Scott has
traveled some serious
miles this spring, chasing
his quest for qualifying for
a huge national tourna-
ment. And he has been
on the up-side as well as
down-side of the brack-
ets and standings.
Earlier in the high
school season, after a
bout with eligibility, and
for other reasons, Quentin
joined the team late.
He failed to qualify for
State after starting the
comeback with a strong
9-0 record before the
Prineville District Tourna-
ment.
“That was my wake up
call,” Quentin says. “That
experience inspired me to
keep going.”
Now, he says, “I think
a few Culver wrestlers
and I are only wrestlers
in the county still compet-
ing.”
The weekend of April
1-3, in Battleground,
Wash., was the site of
Northwest Regional Finals
for Freestyle and Greco
(the Olympic styles).
Quentin was two and
out the first day in
Freestyle, and the next day

in a different style placed
third, upsetting a California
wrestler, winning the bracket
off criteria.
Placing in top four would
eventually qualify him for
Team Oregon National
Team in Greco Roman style.
The next week Quentin
and family traveled to Reno
for the Reno Worlds in col-
legiate style wrestling (high
school standard).
He would go 3-2, and al-
most placed by one match,
called the ‘blood round,’ the
name referring to all-or-
Quentin Scott at tournament earlier this year.
nothing qualifying.
The State Freestyle and
Greco tournament was
the followed two weeks
later in Corvallis, at Cres-
cent Valley High School.
After a lot of prepara-
tion, inspired by his per-
formance at the Regionals
in the same style, Quentin
fought back, winning
matches and placing sixth.
He also drew enough at-
tention from the Team
Oregon Committee to be
invited on a petition basis
to qualify for the second
style and secure his spot
on the National Team.
The 2016 USA Wres-
tling National Cadet Jun-
ior National Champion-
ships is coming up July 16-
23 in Fargo, North Da-
kota.
This tournament is a
10-day competition, with
almost every state fielding
teams and wrestlers.
The family will be host-
ing feeds and fundraising
events to get the needed
money to send him off
for three weeks of train-
ing and competitions.
Quentin and family
thank all who have helped
with the raffles of past.
Shoni Schimmel
Shoni Schimmel now
plays for the New York
Liberty WNBA basket-
ball team.
The Liberty acquired
Shoni from the Atlanta
Dream, in exchange for a
draft pick in 2017.
Meanwhile, younger sis-
ter Jude Schimmel in April
joined the Dallas Wings
for pre-season training
camp. The news this week
is that she was released by
team.
Had Jude made the
Dallas team, the Schimmel
sisters would have been on
opposing teams when the
Liberty play the Wings on
May 15 at Madison
Jude Schimmel
Square Garden.
Both Shoni and Jude
are guards. In college they
played for the Louisville
Cardinals.
Shoni was taken eighth
overall in the 2014
WNBA draft. She then
made the All-Star Team in
each of her first two sea-
son, averaging 8 points,
3.4 assists, and 1.5 three-
pointers.
The regular season
opener for the Liberty is
March 15 at the Washing-
ton Mystics.
The Schimmel family
has many fans and family
among the Warm Springs
community.
