Macey Engle of Douglas Signs with Casper College for Soccer

Macey Engle of Douglas wants to finish her prep soccer career with an exclamation point after the Bearcats qualified for the 2024 3A State Tournament as a #1 seed. Engle will be busy after her high school soccer career as she has committed to the Casper College.

She was an All-State performer a year ago from the forward/midfield spots with 13 goals and 10 assists as the Cats went 12-5. In her sophomore year, she found the net 10 times with 8 assists and was named All-Conference in 3A and was an All-Conference pick in her freshman year with 4 goals and 5 assists. Engle started playing soccer at a very young age and has plenty of valuable club experience.

Engle played on the State Champion Douglas girls’ basketball team in 2024-25 and was also on the Douglas golf team that won the 3A State Championship in 2024. She finished 16th at the 3A State Tournament.

Casper College is a junior college institution in Region IX, and the T-Birds were 10-3-3 last season.

Jefferson High School bowling team wins championship, highlights value of all students

Jefferson High School bowling team wins championship, highlights value of all students


Stacked in individual lanes, a bowling alley is the perfect example of a friendly competition. Everyone takes turns, trying to knock down every pin before the person after them does.

Bowling is typically an independent sport, but at Lafayette Jefferson High School, it is all about team collaboration, working together to get the highest scores and including everybody in the process.

JHS is one of seven ‘Unified Champions Schools’ in Indiana. To receive this national banner recognition, the school is expected to be dedicated to creating an inclusive and integrative environment.

Specifically, the school implements sports and club activities called ‘Special Olympic Unified Sports’, where individuals with and without disabilities work together and compete as a team.

At JHS, students can participate in unified sports, like bowling, through a partnership with the student-run Best Buddies Program, which fosters inclusion by pairing students with and without disabilities in these sports.

Last year was the team’s first time bowling in the state finals. To the team and coach Kristen Van Laere’s surprise, they “landed third place in the championship,”

Van Laere said this year they had the same attitude towards the sport, which was to have fun and do their best.

“I’ll never forget what it was like, going into the last set and the guy (from Unified Sports) said 54. I don’t know what that means” Van Laere said. “He says (in that moment) you’re 54 pins up, (which is) first place out of all of the schools. It was hysterical, but now (I knew) we are playing to win.”

“You know, (it’s) kind of like the (Purdue) basketball tournament that just got done. You knew going in, (that) Purdue was going to win certain games and they were expected to.,” Van Laere said. “I never had an expectation (about) this – I think that’s what makes it fun.”

Rock music and American society intersects in HIST 371

Nick Shultz, a senior at JHS, said he did not get to participate last year because he had Influenza B, a type of virus that made him very ill and forced him to participate in e-sports.

Despite this, Schultz said he made an effort to keep up spirits and stay positive, as a couple of his team members said he would keep them going when times were difficult.

Junior Keira Hegwood matched Shultz’s sentiment about keeping their heads up. When talking about some of the team’s pizza parties, Hegwood said that when “(she sees) people dance, (she sees) the light.”

The closeness of the bowling group did not start out that way. Van Laere mentioned there were some bumps in the road to overcome before they got to the point they are at now. Each member of the team had a reason for why they joined and for a while — as Van Laere said — they were on different pages.

“There was no big family feeling (and) everyone had their own clique.” Van Laere said. “I let it go until Monday (where I realized) we were supposed to be qualifying for the state tournament. So Tuesday when we got to the bowling alley, we went into a smaller room and had what I call a ‘family meeting.’”

Van Laere said the Saturday of the state championship, “they clicked as a family, and they were cheering and shouting for one another.”

Freshman Piper Burke joined for the promise of a familial aspect. Burke said that she’s seen that parents have been sad or disappointed that their child hasn’t been included in sports or other activities that kids without disabilities have access to.

Winning the championship was more than placing first to Burke, as “it unified the whole state championship.”

“(It meant a lot) how some of these parents were brought to tears (after seeing) their kids being included and seeing (students) accept their child for who they are.” Burke said.

Senior Adeline Wilburn was paired with Junior Enrique Cazares, and she said was glad she had this experience with Unified Sports because she wants to go into a career in special education.

Wilburn asked Cazares how long he wore his medal for. Smiling, Cazares said “(for) at least a week.”

While bringing a trophy home to the stands of Jefferson High School means a lot to the team, they said integrating students together, building friendships and learning that success isn’t measured by just medals — could be considered their real victory, and goes beyond the bowling alley.

Prep highlights (May 5)

Tucker Morrow had a day unlike any this baseball season.

The Mark Morris junior didn’t just toss a no-hitter against reigning 2A state champion Columbia River on Monday.

Morrow did extra, throwing a nine-inning no-hitter and scoring the winning run as the Monarchs beat the Rapids 1-0.

Untouchable on the mound, Morrow struck out eight, walked four and needed 103 pitches to go the distance.

Morrow also singled to kick-start a two-out rally in the bottom of the ninth. Ryder Harris followed with a walk before Mac West lined a walkoff RBI single to left field.

Harrison Hoffarth was a hard-luck losing pitcher, allowing three hits and striking out 16 over 8 2/3 innings.

With Monday’s win, the Monarchs (10-7, 7-5) moved into a third-place tie in the 2A Greater St. Helens League with Ridgefield.

Columbia River (14-4, 10-2) saw its 2A GSHL lead cut to one game over R.A. Long with two games to go. The Rapids and Lumberjacks face off Wednesday in Longview and Friday at Columbia River.

Williams outduels Tarnoski as Seton baseball wins key Trico clash

Jack Williams and Seton Catholic baseball beat King’s Way Christian 1-0 in a showdown of 1A Trico League leaders at University of Portland.

Williams allowed just five hits, struck out five and walked none in a complete-game effort. That allowed the Cougars to win despite not having a base hit against King’s Way starter Derek Tarnoski.

Tarnoski tossed six no-hit innings with four strikeouts but had six walks. Ryker Ruelas drew a walk to open the bottom of the sixth, stole second and third before scoring on an error.

Both Seton and King’s Way entered Monday at 11-1 atop the Trico League. The rivals will clash again on Wednesday at Luke Jensen Sports Park in the final game of the regular season.

Columbia River claims 2A GSHL girls golf title

Led by co-medalist Saylor Lacross, Columbia River earned the 2A GSHL girls golf title at Mint Valley in Longview.

Lacross shot 11-over 82, tying her with Ridgefield freshman Evangeline Fulton and Mark Morris senior Jana Knapp. The Rapids junior led by one shot after shooting 3-over 38 on the front nine.

Columbia River junior Maia Carillo finished one shot behind the leaders while Washougal freshman Addison Paul finished fifth with 85.

Columbia River’s total score of 373 put the Rapids 15 shots ahead of runner-up Mark Morris.
