May 11, 2016 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 Courtesy photos. 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.
