Th e state Court of Appeals ruled unani-mously in favor of YarrowBay in a Land Use Petition Act appeal fi led against the two master planned developments in Black Diamond on Monday.

Th e three-judge panel of C. Kenneth Grosse, Ronald E. Cox and James Verel-len found Phil Olbrechts, the city’s hearing examiner, properly applied the “rule of reason” in fi nding that the environmental impact statement adequately addressed the impacts from the developments.

Th e judges also found that Olbrechts was correct in allowing, “the use of phased review to defer further analysis of adverse

environmental impacts until the time of construction…”

Th e appeal was fi led by Toward Respon-sible Development, a group of citizens listed on the court document as Cynthia and William Wheeler, Robert Edelman, Peter Rimbos, Michael Irrgang, Judith Car-rier, Eugene May, Vicki Harp, Cindy Proc-tor and the Estate of William C. Harp.

Th e appeal was fi rst heard by King Coun-ty Superior Court Judge Patrick Oishi on Aug. 3, 2012. Oishi dismissed the petition Aug. 27, 2012 and TRD decided to ask the Court of Appeals to review the decision.

David Bricklin, the attorney representing the appellants, wrote by email Monday eve-ning, “We are disappointed, of course. We

believe the former Council’s decisions were unlawful. We have the option of asking the state Supreme Court to review the case.”

Edelman, one of the founding mem-bers of TRD, wrote by email Monday, “I’m waiting for a detailed review by David Bricklin so we don’t have a deci-sion to petition the Supreme Court at this time. As David wrote to you, that is a viable option.”

Th e 39-page opinion from the appeals judges cited the appellants’ challenges and stated in each case either the hearing examiner made the correct decision or TRD failed to show Olbrechts’ or the City Council’s decision was wrong.

In one section the judges wrote TRD

challenged the development permits stat-ing the City Council did not account for traffi c and noise mitigation.

“TRD’s contention that traffi c and noise impacts were not adequately mitigated is likewise without merit,” the judges wrote. Th e court document stated a LUPA petition must establish the government land use decision is in error according to state code and the burden of establishing this rests with the appellants.

Th e judges ruled the appellants did not meet this standard and deferred to the decisions rendered by the hearing examiner and the City Council when it approved the developments in September 2010.

In the ultimate wardrobe malfunction, a Maple Valley woman helped nab an alleged burglar aft er seeing the suspect at a restaurant wearing her stolen clothing.

According to the King County Sheriff ’s Department, the woman, who has asked to not be identifi ed for safety reasons, reported her momentarily unattended purse stolen the morning of Jan. 22 at a Starbucks in the 27100 block of 168th Place in Covington by a then-unknown suspect who fl ed the store. Th e suspect used a key and address information from inside the purse to enter the woman’s nearby home, steal multiple items and change into woman’s clothing.

Tahoma is among 16 school districts in King County that are putting levies before voters on Feb. 11.

Th e Enumclaw, Kent, Issaquah, Shoreline, and Snoqualmie Valley school districts are running levies, but the districts did not request a voters’ guide per the King County elections website.

Other districts in the county that are running levies and did request voters’ guides are Auburn, Bellevue, Federal Way, Fife, Lake Washington, Mercer Island, Northshore, Riverview, Sky-komish, and Vashon Island. Of those 11 districts, 10 have nearly

Th e Tahoma School District showed the com-munity the fi rst conceptual designs for the new Tahoma High School at community meetings on Jan. 22 and 23.

Architects from the Seattle-based DLR Group, which is designing the school, presented two con-cepts and fi elded questions and comments from com-munity members. District administrators were also on hand to answer questions.

While conceptual draw-ings were displayed, they were for the purpose of il-lustrating the two concepts, not defi nitive plans for what the school will look like.

Th e school will be located on the property known as the Donut Hole in Maple Valley. Th e Donut Hole is 154 acres of unincor-porated land within the urban growth boundary off Kent-Kangley Road Southeast and Southeast 228th Street that is entirely surrounded by the city of Maple Valley and home to nine holes of Elk Run Golf Course, a stand of trees and the county’s 13-acre roads maintenance facility. King County owns the property.

Th e city is in the process of annexing the property and the school district is in the process of fi nalizing the purchase of some of the

acreage from King County for the new school.

One of the concepts — which has been termed Barking Dog because the outline of the school in the artwork vaguely resembles a barking dog — is a more open concept, with a school that would spread out across the property. Th e other concept — called Pomegranate to evoke the idea of looking simple on the outside but being unex-pected on the inside — is a more compact school that isn’t as spread out.

Lisa Johnson, from DLR Group, explained the guid-ing principles of the school’s design which include fl ex-ibility of use and longevity of the building, community, security and safety, person-alized to meet the needs of students, relevant learning spaces and sustainability.

Plans are for the school to be three stories tall. Other details about the look and design of the school will be coming in the future.

Factors in the siting of the school on the piece of property include the site’s topography, loca-tion of utilities on the site and the presence of power lines along one edge of the property.

Patterson said in an in-terview Jan. 27 the district leadership had reviewed studies, including one by

the World Health Organiza-tion, that didn’t fi nd conclu-sive health risks from being close to power lines like those running alongside the property, and also said the district is still working to locate the school as far from the power lines as possible.

When it comes to safety, Patterson said that the dis-trict is exploring its options, including looking to other schools to see what they have done and what has worked and what hasn’t.

Th e district is also including the Summit Park and Ballfi elds property the city owns that is adjacent

to the high school site in its conceptual designs, which show ballfi elds on the prop-erty. Th e vision, Patterson said, is for the fi elds to be developed jointly to benefi t both the school and the community.

Access to the new school is being planned from state Route 169, behind Good-will, by building a road to connect through to the high school, and is also planning a secondary entrance.

Superintendent Mike Maryanski presented to the Maple Valley City Council on Monday night, updating the council on the school

district’s planning and design of the site.

Patterson said that feedback he has heard is more in favor of the Pomegranate, compact school, that would allow for shorter travel times across the school for stu-dents than a long, spread out building.

Th e estimated ground-breaking for the school is spring of 2015.

“We’re building a 50-year building,” Patterson said. “Th at’s a challenge — to build a building that remains contemporary for 50 years.”

Oh, hey. I’m Eric. I work here now. But before I get into that, I sense there could be some initial confusion. So, just to clarify, I am not Kris Hill.

I know we look alike, speak alike and briefl y shared a computer, but, I recently found out, we are not the same person. It wasn’t my lack of charm or love of health foods and marathons that gave it away. It was the fact that I know almost nothing about the Covington-Black Diamond-Maple Valley area, while she may well be the crown jewel of industry knowledge on the subject — although her protege, and my new colleague, Katherine Smith, seems to be a close second.

To recap, you are stuck with the less con-nected, less knowledgeable and less athletic version of your reporter/editor of the last eight years. Th us, it might be unwise to expect Young taking over for Montana, or Rodgers subbing in for Favre. Maybe more like China landing on the moon more than 40 years aft er Neil Armstrong. Hopefully I can etch my own byline somewhere into your lunar hearts and bring a new perspec-tive to the area — and I’ll try to be gentle.

Briefl y about me: I grew up in a suburb of Milwaukee, Wis., and graduated with a journal-ism and sports studies degree from the Univer-sity of Iowa in 2008. I’ve worked at Midwestern newspapers ever since.

A majority of my writing came at a small, bi-weekly newspaper in Iowa Falls — population

5,000, which jumps to 6,000 when the com-munity college is in session — and a moderately small daily in Dubuque — a hearty, Bush Lite-weilding gang of 57,000.

I fl ed to Seattle for my girlfriend, Laura, an angel epidemiologist with the CDC. We met in college and love bloomed years later. I adore my new city and hand-me-down hipster friends, have never been happier, yada-yada-yada.

Although I am not exactly a city slicker, I understand that I’m not a natural Convingtonian or Black Diamonder or Maple Valleyite (was I even close on any of those? I’ll call and ask Kris.) I love meeting people and telling stories that you might fi nd interesting. Because that is what I

truly want — to tell fun, compelling, honest and fair stories that will get you reading our paper. Th erefore, I need to know what you want to read. Pull me over on the street — unless you are a cop, please — or email me, write me a letter, anything. I want to hear from you and help keep this newspaper’s strong reputation and credibil-ity intact.

But if I fail, please don’t tell Kris. She knows where I work.

Vote yes for Kent leviesVoters in the Kent School District are being

asked to approve two ballot measures in the Feb. 11 special election:

(1) an educational programs and operations levy and (2) a technology levy.

Th e local Association of Realtors has endorsed both of these school levies and are asking voters to join them in supporting our local schools. Why? Th ere are several reasons, but as a real-tor – and a voter – in the Kent School District I want to mention just two.

First, the Kent School District has earned the realtors’ support. Th e number of Kent schools rated excellent or good has more than doubled since the last time Kent schools submitted a levy to voters.

Kent schools continue to do a better and bet-ter job of educating the children in our district. Tests score are up, awards have been pouring in and other school districts from Washington (and from other countries) have been coming to the Kent School District to see what they can learn, and copy, to help their own students.

Th e Kent School District has earned the fi nan-cial support our teachers, principals, adminis-trators and PTSAs are asking for in these two levies.

Second, as realtors, we know that there is a di-rect and important relationship between strong neighborhood schools and higher home values.

Th e fi rst question realtors oft en hear from buyers is, “What about the schools?” Th at’s because buyers know that good schools not only help to defi ne communities, they also support higher home values.

It’s not just families with school-age kids who are concerned about the quality of schools when buying a home. Savvy buyers know that quality schools will be a factor in the sales price when it’s time to sell.

As a housing specialist for the Association of Realtors, I’ve looked at the research that backs up what I also know fi rsthand based on my 20-plus years of experience as a realtor — good schools support higher prices when it’s time to sell. Higher home values are also important for property owners who want to refi nance their mortgage.

Researchers have studied the relationship between home values and good schools since at least 1956. Th at’s when Charles Tiebout pub-lished the results of his study, “A Pure Th eory of Local Expenditures.” More recently, a study published in January 2013 by “Th e Reinvestment Fund” found overall school quality, as measured by test scores, is positively related to the price of

housing.In a diff erent study published by Clemson

University, researchers used data on housing transactions between the years 1994 and 2000 to analyze the eff ect of K-12 school rankings on housing prices. Th ey found: (1) high-ranked schools have values embedded in single-family housing prices, and (2) greater commuting distances to schools has a negative impact on the value of property. Th at’s just a fancy way to say that strong schools support higher home values and home values are lower if people have to commute long distances to fi nd good schools.

Still another study published in the “Quarterly Journal of Economics” found that better school quality, as shown by an increase in test scores, has a positive eff ect on housing prices.

It’s really pretty simple: home and condo prices are higher when the local schools are good and you also get more for your property when it’s time to sell.

Voting yes on these two levies for Kent schools will not only be good for the kids and families in our community, they’ll also benefi t homeowners like my wife and I who have no children of our own. So, I voted yes on the Kent school levies, and I mailed in my ballot this morning.

HODGKIN’S LYMPHOMAHodgkin’s lymphoma is a type of cancer that

affects the lymphatic system, which is a part of the body’s immune system. The disease causes cells in the lymphatic system to continue to grow and stay alive when healthy cells should otherwise have died. Symptoms of the disease include a painless swelling of the lymph nodes in the neck, underarms, or groin area; persistent tiredness; fever and chills; night sweats; and unexplained weight loss. There may also be a loss of appetite, itchiness, coughing, chest pain or having a hard time breathing, and a sensitivity to alcohol. Any of these symptoms should be evaluated by a health care provider. Treatment for Hodgkin’s lymphoma usually involves chemotherapy or radiation therapy. People who have had Hodgkin’s lymphoma have an increased risk for developing other kinds of cancer later in life.

To schedule an appointment at Southlake Clinic, please call (253) 395-1972. Our Covington clinic is located at 27005 168th Place SE. Our primary care providers are supported by a network of multispecialty physicians and services.

Bus service is an investmentAs someone regularly drives to Maple Valley to visit

my parents, I know that buses save time and money for all of us. Whether we ride in them or drive next to them. Nobody wants more congestion on our roads.

If King County has to cut 17 percent of its bus service, the 90 percent of transit riders who have access to car will opt for driving, making our traffic look even worse.

For almost a decade, state politicians in Olympia have failed to pass new funding authority for King County that would make Metro less susceptible to economic swings.

Because of the Great Recession Metro lost $1.3 billion in expected funding which has forced it to raise fares, cut service and implement other efficiencies.

In these times of stubborn unemployment, especially at the lowest economic rungs, we cannot only raise fares and put the burden on those who have the fewest transporta-tion options.

We all need to pay for our infrastructure. Ensuring quality bus service is an investment in eco-

nomic health. For the sake of everyone in the county, rich and poor,

drivers and riders, I’ll be voting yes to fund Metro in April.

Valley resident for the last 17 years. “I was crying… it was really a whirlwind-type thing.”

The alleged thief, later identified as Nikki Garcia-Corrales, 28, no known address, was charged Monday with one count of residential burglary, a class B felony. Based on her criminal history, she faces between 3-14 months imprisonment.

Garcia-Corrales told au-thorities after the arrest that two males drove her to the residence but fled and left her behind. No other indi-viduals have been charged for this incident, according to court records.

Garcia-Corrales told deputies she called a taxi to pick her up from the woman’s home, but when it took too long, she walked, taking a lock box from the bedroom.

The female victim returned to the burglar-ized home and authorities were unable to locate any suspects.

The victim said it looked as though someone drank a liquid being stored in the refrigerator and believes someone took a shower.

“It was hard to sleep at all,” the woman said. “[My husband and I] both basically slept in a guarded way.”

The following day, the victim and two fam-

ily members had lunch at Gloria’s Restaurant in Maple Valley and sat down at a table next to Garcia-Corrales, who was wearing the woman’s stolen True Religion jeans, a black-grey hooded-shirt and metallic grey ankle boots.

The woman said the chance-encounter was both strange and frightening.

“It was almost like some-body turned my shoulders to her,” she said. “It was like this feeling overwhelmed me.”

According to court records, Garcia-Corrales hid in the bathroom until police arrived and was taken into custody without incident. Records indicate that Garcia-Corrales admit-

ted to the purse theft and home burglary.

Sgt. Cindi West, spokes-woman for the King Coun-ty Sheriff ’s Office, said it is not uncommon for keys and wallets to be stolen, fol-lowed by a burglary before the victim gets home, but that this series of events is quite unique.

“I can’t think of a time that this type of a scenario has happened,” said West, who added that investi-gators are looking into whether Garcia-Corrales is connected to any previous unsolved burglaries.

Garcia-Corrales has a criminal history that includes an arrest for pos-session of a stolen vehicle in December and two forgery

convictions in 2012.She is being held on

$20,000 bond. Her arraign-ment is set for Feb. 10.

The victim believes this was not a random act.

“There was a lot done in a short amount of time,” she said. “Everything but silverware and dishes were emptied. It was ransacked.”

She sees this crime as having a broader scope than its fortuitous ending, but is unable to speak about it while the investigation is ongoing.

“The story is actually far more interesting than that she was wearing my clothes and I happened to find her,” she said. “Honestly, it’s kind of tragic .”

The victim plans to meet

with a homeowners group to bring awareness to this problem and to help people be guarded against it from happening again.

“I think of people in more vulnerable situations that could be victims and it could turn out much differently,” she said. “We have had people break into houses, but not like this.”

identical opposition state-ments that were submitted by the same three people — Skykomish being the ex-ception with no opposition statement being submitted.

OPPOSITION TEXTThe text of the opposi-

tion statement for Tahoma reads: “Union officials in the Tahoma Schools have pressured the school board to divert levy funds from student services in order to pay teachers more. Our levy should pay for student services, not for wage increases.

“In the collective bar-gaining agreement sought by union officials, the aver-age state-provided wage of $53,584 for teachers will be enhanced by 10.9 percent from levy and levy-matched funds. This costs roughly $2.06 million per year which could be better used to help at-risk students or reduce class sizes. The school district leads tax-payers to believe the levy money is being used for students, yet large amounts support union priorities instead.

“Levies are great for

funding local priorities and unique services for our area students, but taxpayers should hold off giving the school district any more money until the school board is able to put student services above the demands of union officials.”

The statement was submitted by Laurie Lyford, Renay Bennett, and Tom Henningsgards. Lyford, Bennett, and Hennings-gards had not responded to a request to comment prior to The Reporter’s press deadline.

No statement in favor of the Tahoma levies was submitted.

DISTRICT RESPONSEKevin Patterson, spokes-

man for the Tahoma School District, wrote in an email Jan. 28 that the school district normally advertises for a committee to write a statement in opposition, but because of time constraints there wasn’t enough time to organize that committee and meet the voters’ guide deadlines. The school board approved the levies on Dec. 17. Patterson also explained the VOTE committee normally submits a pro statement.

“But because we couldn’t complete our usual notifica-tion in time, we decided not to offer either a pro or con to keep the process fair,” Patterson wrote.

The two proposed levies for Tahoma would go into effect in 2015, replacing the current maintenance and operations and technology levies that are set to expire at the end of this year.

“Well, it’s disappointing for one thing,” Patterson said in an interview on Jan. 27 concerning the opposi-tion statement. “That they didn’t even take the time to come and do any research about our school district. They used a blanket state-ment that they then repro-duced for con statements in most of the school districts that are running levies this year.”

Patterson also said he has received a few phone calls asking questions about the levies, but other than that hasn’t seen much reaction to the statement in the vot-ers’ guide.

“I hope it’s because people understand that what was said was inac-curate and doesn’t really apply to our school district,” Patterson said. “Certainly if they (community mem-bers) have questions they can call us. The books are

open. People can come and look at anything we do.”

The district does have some discretion and does use some levy money to supplement staff salaries, Patterson said.

“We have to supplement salaries for our staff because the state funding formula is not sufficient to pay for some staff members, and to pay enough for some staff members,” Patterson said. “We have to be competi-tive with Bellevue and Lake Washington and Mercer Is-land and Issaquah because we draw from the same candidate pool, basically. We pay an average salary.”

For teachers, Patterson explained, the standard contract is for the 180 school days. The district also pays teachers for some days prior to the start of the school year for staff devel-opment training and prep for the school year. Patter-son also said that the state funding formula for ad-ministrators is insufficient and that the district has to supplement administrator salaries to be competitive and pay a market rate.

“We’ve been asking for this kind of levy since 1978, and people have understood over those years that we need those to supplement funding that

falls short from the state, or doesn’t exist in some cases,” Patterson said. “And it’s to maintain our basic programs. We’re not asking for exotic things. This is for basic education.”

John Schuster, president of the Tahoma Education Association — the district’s teachers’ union — and a teacher in the district, wrote in a statement that the opposition statement was misleading in terms of the operations levy and inaccurate in terms of the technology levy. He also wrote that in Tahoma the relationship between teach-ers, administration and the school board is valued.

“We value collaboration and developing programs that best meet the needs of our students and families; this includes making sure we have the best teachers in the area,” Schuster wrote. “Following state law, we bargain with our employer a negotiated contract that best meets these needs.”

LEVY RATESThe proposed mainte-

nance and operations levy would make up approxi-mately 20 percent of the district’s general fund. The school board decided to maintain the 2014 property tax rate of $3.69 per $1,000

of assessed value. At that rate the district estimates that in 2015 it would collect $16.33 million, $16.99 mil-lion in 2016, $17.67 million in 2017, and $18.37 in 2018.

The proposed technol-ogy levy would collect $2.7 million per year through 2018, which is $50,000 less than the current levy. The estimated cost to property owners for the technology levy is 62 cents per $1,000 of assessed value in 2015.

Levies require a 50 per-cent yes vote to be approved and there is no minimum number of voters who need to cast their ballots for a yes vote to stand.

The two new levies would go into effect in 2015, replacing the current main-tenance and operations and technology levies that are set to expire at the end of this year.

COVINGTON ELEMENTARY CELEBRATES 15 YEARS AS A WEATHER STATIONCovington Elementary School recently hosted the Covington Chamber of Com-merce’s monthly Business Afterhours to celebrate the school’s 15th anniversary as a WeatherBug Weather Station. Students and staff provided entertainment

during the meeting, giving tours of the station and hosting presentations about the impact of weather on daily living.

The school is a Weather Bug/School Net site on KING 5’s weather map. Some believe the project put the city of Covington on the map back in 1999.

Precinct No. 3, also known as the Hicks-Raburn Precinct or Southeast Precinct, is returning to its former home located off state Route 169 in Maple Valley with an estimated opening date of Feb. 28.

Precinct Commander Major Brad Thompson said in an email interview Jan. 24 that the projected move-in date is Feb. 20 and that an official

reopening is tentatively scheduled for March 18.

The final move-in, Thompson said, will include moving furniture, files, breath test equipment and the live scan machine from the office in Coving-ton to Precinct 3.

Thompson said that one of the challenges of moving back into the building, which was previously the home to the precinct, is making sure that all phone and computer lines are op-erational prior to opening

for business.Thompson explained in

October that the closing of the precinct came about two years ago in response to the sheriff ’s office moving from a precinct model to a zones model in order to cut costs. Now the sheriff ’s office is moving back to a precinct model.

The property and build-ing are both owned by the county.

“Our mission is reducing crime and fear of crime,” King County Sheriff John

Urquhart said before tour-ing the precinct in October. “Reducing fear of crime is just as important. When we get people here in this cen-tral location, our response time will go down.”

Thompson, 1.5 captains, four professional staff, eight patrol sergeants, a detective sergeant, four detectives, and 51 deputies will work out of the precinct.

The Covington office will become a storefront lo-cation for deputies, similar to the Fairwood location.

The long term plan for Precinct No. 3 also includes taking down the north fence and building a covered parking area where special operations can store its variety of armored and other vehicles that need to be sheltered from the elements, according to Thompson.

Currently those vehicles are stored at various sites around the county.

Staffing levels will remain the same when the pre-cinct moves back in to its

former home, Thompson said in October, and staff salaries are a part of the sheriff ’s office’s operation-al budget.

It is also proposed that the special operations unit be moved into the building which includes a captain, sergeant and six deputies.

Th ere are 14 names painted on the back wall of the small gym inside Kent-wood High School. Each one represents a member of the school’s gymnastics “Hall of Fame,” honoring the only top 10 state fi nish-ers in school history.

An ankle-wrapped arrow of energy whips around in circles, fi nishing another practice swing on the uneven bars, just in front of the black and green shrine. And as senior Zoe Kram-bule prepares for yet an-other dismount, she hopes the landing this time will earn her a place with the other high school legends.

“Last year I got 12th,” said Krambule, 17, of Kent. “I was close.”

Th e ultra-petite senior is the only Conquerors gym-nast with state aspirations in 2014 and is preparing for her fi nal fl ips as a student-athlete.

Aft er 13 years in club gymnastics and four on the Kentwood squad, she has worked much of her life prepping for a chance to join those elite wall-of-famers.

At just 5 feet tall, Kram-

bule is by far the littlest gymnast on the team, which, unlike most other sports, is a benefi t, rather than a detriment.

“Th e smaller you are, the more compact you are and the easier it is to do this stuff ,” said Ann Diaz, the team’s head coach since 2000.

Th e uneven bars are Krambule’s specialty, but Diaz believes the rolling dynamo could earn a state bid for her fl oor routine, vault and all-around.

But Krambule’s success extends beyond the mat. She no longer actually at-tends Kentwood, instead venturing out to Green River Community College for the Running Start pro-gram to get an early start on her future. She enjoys her psychology classes and — surprise, surprise — also loves sports. Th e combina-tion has made choosing a prospective major as easy as a math equation.

“Sports and psychology, put them together and you’ve got sports psychol-ogy,” she said. “Seems simple.”

Back in the gym, Kram-bule demonstrates a lithe grace with each swing that complements the

powerful command of her movements. Even during stumbles in practice, she comically summersaults

through and fi nishes with a traditional salute.

“Everyone else, we just splat on the ground and

we are dead,” said fellow senior Tessa Carlin, 18, who

Bears ruled the hard-wood and the Kentwood girls fell to a group of bas-ketball titans during a busy day of basketball on Jan. 24.

Both Tahoma High School squads defeated their rivals at Kentlake, with the boys earning a 74-50 victory and the girls edging the Falcon females, 48-44.

The Tahoma boys’ (11-6, 9-4) win solidifies their

second-place standing in the North division, with Kentlake (7-11, 4-9) in seventh.

For the Tahoma girls (8-9, 7-6), the victory puts them one game up on Kentlake (8-9 overall, 6-7 conference) in the North division conference stand-ings, fifth overall.

KENTWOOD BOYS WIN BUT GIRLS FALL

The Kentwood girls (11-

3, 9-2) dropped their highly anticipated matchup with fifth-ranked Mount Rainier, 66-42.

According to The Seattle Times, the Mount Rainier girls have now won 50 consecutive division games since the 2010-11 sea-son and, in the process, clinched at least a share of their third straight North division championship.

The Kentwood boys (11-5, 8-4) snatched their third

“W” in a row, with a 76-55 victory over the Rams.

GAMES THIS WEEKThe Kentwood squads

play Kent Meridian tonight — boys away at 8:30 p.m.; girls tipoff at 7 p.m. at home. The Kentlake boys host Kentridge at 5:30 p.m. and the girls travel for a 4 p.m. showdown.

Both Kentwood and Tahoma teams had games scheduled Tuesday, but the

results weren’t available until after press time.

Tahoma hoopsters rule in rivalry matchups

joined the team last year. “She’s an inspiration. She’s phenomenal at everything.”

The state tournament starts in February, but Krambule also has eyes on

an even bigger prize, send-ing an application to rep-resent Washington in the national finals this spring.

Thanks to last year’s strong showing, plus the positive progression in 2014, Diaz is confident that

an invitation is forthcom-ing.

Krambule is currently facing a new obstacle, hav-ing rolled her ankle dur-ing warm-ups of a meet earlier this month. Diaz said her star performer was

disapointed, not because of the pain, but because it would force her to miss the first meet of her high school career.

Despite some tenderness, bruising and swelling, Diaz doesn’t believe the injury

will impact Krambule’s top-10 state aspirations.

Krambule agreed with her coach’s assessment as she turned back for another swing on the bars, keeping her eyes set on the wall.
