Indoor football a community effort
To the sports editor — What an exciting thing for our entire Yakima Valley.
We are bringing professional arena football to the SunDome with our first home game on April 3 against our archrivals, the Wenatchee Valley Venom, with kick-off time at 7:15 p.m.
I became involved with The Yakima Valley Warriors after spending time with the CEO of the Warriors and co-founder of the American Indoor Football Association Michael Mink and seeing his passion for the game and for wanting to help young men reach their dream of playing professional football.
I was also very moved by Mr. Mink’s enthusiasm to make the Warriors a huge part of the Yakima Valley by working with youth and teaming up with the the Grid Kids Association and starting the Junior Warrior Indoor Football League.
Warriors players and management have also teamed up with Habitat for Humanity to help build houses for the less fortunate in the Yakima Valley. This is your team and something very positive that we are all working very hard to bring to the Yakima Valley.
So, come on, Yakima, come and check out some of our own homegrown football talent and help us by supporting the Yakima Valley Warriors. Be sure to check out our Web site at www.yakimavalleywarriors.com.

Knights coach says thank you
To the sports editor — What a wonderful week the Sunnyside Christian boys basketball team experienced during the Class 1B state basketball bournament.
With so many enjoyable experiences occurring, I can only share my thanks to the sources of the entire four days.
As a coach I have been thoroughly blessed to enjoy so many special times with the young men on the SCHS basketball team, and I am sure Coach Smeenk feels the same emotions when working with the young ladies. Thank you, players, for your diligent effort and dedication for another fine season. Also, I want to thank my assistant coaches, Brian and Henry Bosma for their dedication and commitment to excellence.
God is good! Without His constant care none of these accomplishments and memories would be possible. May we thank Him daily for the blessings He provides.
Fans, you were again wonderful. SCHS enjoyed great fan support all week in the SunDome. What an encouragement for the players and coaches.
To the cheer-squad members, girls basketball players, fellow students, parents, and season game workers, thank you for your commitment, enthusiasm, and dedication adding to the success of the team.
Another thank you I want to offer is to Gene Rostvold, Andy Affholter Sr., Gene Evans, and the other cordial staff at the SunDome for their hospitality and assistance.
We also enjoyed the benefits of a fine host, Mr. Joe Mann, owner of Ron’s Coin and Book. What a pleasure to have Joe both support us at the games and enjoy the fine meal that he purchased for the players and coaches at The Olive Garden.
Last, thanks to Scott Spruill, Scott Sandsberry, Dave Thomas, and Roger Underwood for their excellent reporting and thorough coverage of the Knights at the 1B tournament, and thank you to the photographers from the Herald-Republic for the work that you did taking photos.
Once again, thank you to all who support Sunnyside Christian School. May God bless you.

Arbuckle Shoots Below Age at Elks
March 12, 2010 by YH-R Sports
YAKIMA, Wash. — Russ Arbuckle had a round of golf Wednesday that would be considered solid no matter what his age.
The fact that Arbuckle is 69 years old just made the round even more impressive as he fired a 3-under par 68 at the Yakima Elks.
Troy Wilmoth, Mark Malland, Keith Grace and Ron Eakin witnessed the round.

3/7/10 Letters to Sports
March 7, 2010 by YH-R Sports
Thank you from Bickleton girls
To the sports editor — We would like to thank the Yakima Herald-Republic, the Yakima SunDome personnel, the WIAA, our sponsor, AAU and Mr. Paul Campbell for the gracious treatment they gave us while we were at the state 1B basketball tournament.
We also want to thank coach Emily Barnhart, her assistants, Neal Brown and Selena Naught, and Mr. Palmer, out superintendent for getting us there.
We were no doubt one of the smallest high schools at the tournament, but we have the greatest fans. We love Mr. Nelson and our pep band.
Thank you to all the alumni, former coaches, family members and friends who came from far and near to cheer us on, and, of course, thanks to our “B-town” fans and family for hanging in there with us. We could feel your support every time we hit the court.
We love you all. Being at state was a dream come true for all of us, and we will never forget it. Thanks, Yakima, and thanks to the world’s greatest fans.
BICKLETON GIRLS BASKETBALL TEAM
Thanks to Central Valley for band support
To the sports editor — I went to the Davis High school regional basketbal game. Davis was playing Richland High School.
When I entered the stadium I noticed there were two bands playing. One was Richland’s and the other was the Central Valley High band from Spokane. I thought to myself, “What are they doing here?” I sat down the game got started and I realized the Central Valley band was playing for Davis.
I found myself tapping my toes to the music. I watched as the band director was coordinating songs with the Davis cheerleaders and the student fan section. I was amazed how the Central Valley Band members embraced the Pirates as they would their own team.
Great plays were met with cheers from kids who don’t even know the kids on the court. My son (a member of the Pirates) told me how uplifting it was to have such an active and enthusiastic band behind them.
I witnessed a part of the game that gets overlooked sometimes — true sportsmanship. Thank you to the Central Valley pep band for cheering us to victory. Thank you to the Davis parents, players and coaches for reconizing the difference the band made in the victory. What a great high school game.

A great Granger accomplishment
To the sports editor — It is always great to have a winning basketball team represent your school but it is quite unique to have both a girls and boys district champion from one school. Granger High School accomplished that task last weekend.
Their success did not come without sacrifice from the players. Extra training, giving up private time, increased work loads because of practice were accepted and worked into their daily lives.
Good coaching and support from the parents, grandparents, friends and community that have stood by them since preschool also add to the mix to create the championship teams we celebrate today.
We are so proud of each and everyone of you.
