Continued from B1
“I was 10 years old and I
didn’t know what work ethic
meant,” Mauldin recalled. “But
it made an impression upon
me that he didn’t like what I
was doing by the way he said
it.”
Fast forward to 2016, and
the pitcher Mauldin was work-
ing with went home in tears.
“I told my wife that I was the
meanest, worst coach alive,”
Mauldin. “Because I made a
10-year-old cry.”
“Effort” was then scrapped
from his vocabulary when
working with his team. Instead,
when the team would be play-
ing flat, the word “energy” be-
came the motivating word of
choice.
“Your energy is how positive
you are and the energy you are
putting out there,” said sopho-
more Gracie Goewey. “Effort
is how hard you are trying — I
think everyone out here is try-
ing their hardest.”
It has paid off for the Lava
Bears, morphing them into
a team of doers. When the
COVID-19 pandemic canceled
their 2020 season days before
their first game, they did not
stop working together.
The team wrote a book titled
“Zombie, I guess,” for which
each player wrote a chapter.
The players remodeled the
locker room located behind the
team’s dugout and built an in-
door batting cage. Players’ pets
were used as weights for team-
wide squat challenges when
they were not able to practice
together.
Those times were fun, but
the real fun started in April of
this year, when Bend High was
able to take the field for the
first time since May 2019. In
2021, the Lava Bears have been
nothing short of dominant.
They have won 16 of their
17 games, with 13 shutouts.
Rarely do their games last
more than five innings due to
mercy rules.
The Bend pitching has been
so dominant that entering the
May 15 game at Eugene’s Shel-
don High — the defending 6A
state champion — 59 of the 61
outs came by strike out. That
left the coaching staff worried
about how prepared the team’s
defense would be in a game
Dean Guernsey/The Bulletin
Bend High softball pitcher Ad-
disen Fisher practices on Tuesday.
“We are playing better
teams now and we
like that. It is no knock
against the teams that
we have played. We knew
what we had pitchingwise
and we knew it was going
to be tough to beat us.”
— Tom Mauldin,
Bend High softball coach
where plays in the field would
have to be made. (Bend won
3-1.)
Six of the Bears’ contests
have ended in either perfect
games or no-hitters.
“It is a lot easier for me,” said
Bend catcher Sophia Weathers.
“Because I know when I give
a sign, I know I can expect the
pitch to go where it is called.
Since I work with them every-
day, even when they make a
mistake, I know where the mis-
take is going to go. It makes my
job a lot easier because I don’t
have to drop and block every-
thing. It’s right to the mitt.”
That 10-year-old that Maul-
din sent home in tears is now

the ace for the Lava Bear pro-
gram. Freshman Addisen
Fisher has struck out 116 of
the 170 batters that she has
faced and has only given up
two earned runs in 51 innings
of work.
No 6A team in Oregon can
come close to Bend’s nine runs
allowed in 17 games. Accord-
ing to the nationwide database
MaxPreps.com, Bend ranks
second nationally with a .15
team earned run average.
“We kinda knew that we
were going to be good,” Fisher
said. “But we didn’t think that
this is where we would be.”
This season, without a state
tournament and a region-
al-based schedule, is a tricky
one to gauge. On one hand, the
record and stats look great. But
the level of competition is not
always consistent.
“We still manage to practice
hard and make sure we are giv-
ing our best effort,” Parker said.
“When you play teams that are
not at your same level, some-
times you play down. But we
never do.”
Wins over Ridgeview and
Sheldon, both defending state
champions in their respective
classifications, have been state-
ment wins for the young Lava
Bear program and why Satur-
day’s game against an unbeaten
McNary team is being viewed
as a championship game.
“We are looking at it as a
couple of state championships,”
said Mauldin of the games
against Sheldon and McNary.
“We are playing better teams
now and we like that. It is no
knock against the teams that
we have played. We knew what
we had pitchingwise and we
knew it was going to be tough
to beat us.”
Bend is still a young team, as
only two of the 15 players on
the varsity roster are seniors.
Once the state tournament re-
turns next year, there are aspi-
rations of competing for a state
title.
All it took was a little “en-
ergy” a couple of years ago.
“It is amazing how that came
full circle with this group when
they were younger, switch-
ing to energy and they started
to thrive on it,” Mauldin said.
“They seem to get better with it
— they don’t lose focus.”

“We’re thrilled we were
able to do this and it
turned out the way it
did. The performances
were great.”
— Jeff Roundtree,
Redmond girls golf coach
Mercedes Marriott, of
Crescent Valley, won in-
dividual honors with a
13-over-par 85. Crook
County’s Merritt O’Gorman
finished second with a 92.
Leading the way for
Redmond was third-place
McKenzie Richardson (95),
fourth-place Klanci Hinton
(96), and Elizabeth Richard-
son (97), who tied for fifth.
Bayley Gustaveson finished
13th (105) for the Panthers.
“We’re thrilled we were
able to do this and it
turned out the way it did,”
Roundtree said. “The per-
formances were great.
Scores don’t matter to me.
My philosophy is match
play — try to teach them
how to play hole by hole and
shot by shot. We try to limit
the major errors. If we get in
trouble, we play out of it.”
The 16-team 5A final was
organized by Thurston girls
golf coach Nathan Wieden-
mann. The Panthers qual-
ified for the final through
their performance at re-
gional events at Meadow
Lakes Golf Course in
Prineville and Juniper Golf
Course in Redmond earlier
this month.
Conditions Wednesday
at hilly, challenging Pine
Ridge included on and off
rain and wind, according to
Roundtree.
But the Redmond golf-
ers kept their cool on a de-
manding course on their
way to the state title.
“It was a thrill,”
Roundtree said. “It wasn’t
even close. The nearest team
was 29 strokes back. We
really performed well on a
very difficult golf course.”
