Early in the season,
the Tigers appeared to be
sputtering. They lost their

opponents from Washing-
ton, but quickly got back
to winning ways. They
won their next nine games
to post a 9-3 record with
league play looming, and a
two-game losing streak in
late April was the last blem-

Pleasant Hill, mean-

won seven straight in April

eas of interest, such as pursuing

ingly out of nowhere, Purugganan
contacted Hoffert to ask him about
Gutierrez.
The seventh-year coach said he
was surprised, to say the least.
“The guy called, and I thought

which Purugganan was looking.
Hoffert put the ball in Gutierrez’s
court, so to speak. She was still un-
sure about the direction she wanted
to go, but Hoffert let her make the
decision for herself.
“I said, ‘That’s totally up to you,
Jazmin. You will make the right

Gutierrez’s interest only in-
creased when she traveled to
Tacoma for a workout a couple
weeks ago and was elated to
learn Pierce plays a system com-
parable to Hermiston’s. She said
she was up front about her knee’s
history, which was shrugged off
by Purugganan just as quickly.

That stretch got Echo roll-
ing, but the team had the players
all along. Led by Gonzales, the
Cougars have showed the abili-
ty to score runs all season long.
While sometimes the run totals
weren’t consistent with an ex-
plosive offense, the components
were always there. The Cougars
have six batters with averages
over .300 and many with on-
base percentages over .400. As
a team, the Cougars are slash-
ing .295/.435/.393/.828. That’s
a good enough offense to con-
sistently score runs.
Echo’s main problem, how-
ever, has been defense. Gonza-
les has been money in the cir-
cle, posting a 1.85 ERA during
the course of 110 innings, but
she has allowed a third as many
earned runs as total runs. In
Echo’s last game, an 11-3 loss to
Vale, the Cougars committed six
errors, leading to eight unearned
Viking runs. It turned a close
game into a blowout and provid-
ed all the context Bailey needed
to understand his team: When
they play defense, they win.

rors, and that’s going to be

After Gutierrez penned her
name Tuesday afternoon, friends
and teammates swarmed around
her. Her past year has been a se-
ries of ups and downs that Hof-
fert said he believes would have
broken most teenagers. Gutier-
rez managed to keep a steady
attitude throughout, he said,
which led to the continuation of
her basketball career.

er, Angel, said. “She has a lot
of faith in God, and she, pretty
much, when she was injured,
from that point on our journey
there to have surgery and our
journey back when the basket-
ball season started and every-
thing, she just was so strong in
her faith, and I think that’s real-
ly what helped her get through
it and helped us as a family get
through it. I think really just her
faith and having her coaches be-
ing so supportive and her team-
mates being so supportive, it’s
pretty awesome.
