It was an great Flag Football season for the kids from Colo Nesco as both teams played very well and both improved throughout the year. As a combined team the Vikings and Chiefs should make for a strong athletic foundation to continue building on the success of the High School program in the coming years. Players and parents should take pride in the success of the teams and continue to realize that when we play as a team, not as individuals, we can compete with any school. Football is the ultimate team game and any team working together and striving towards a common goal can achieve success on the football field. Thanks to all parents and players with a special thank you to all the other coaches
on a great year!! Thank you also to Lauri Dodd for the wonderful pictures and to my wife, Amber for all the sideline report keeping, tolerance of football equipment in the dining room, and logistical coordination work she does to keep everything somewhat organized and running smoothly. See everyone in winter sports (right?) Basketball and wrestling forms are available on this site and should have been sent home from school. Make sure to get them in before the deadline so we can make sure we get started on-time with practices.

Vikings end year with Win/Loss?

The Vikings ended the year with a little controversy over whether they won or lost. No one is quite sure of how the game ended score-wise on the Vikings final game against the Packers but it was obviously a battle all the way through. Coaches recap seem to indicate the Vikings probably won as they scored 4 touchdowns on the night to the Packers 3 but extra points for 2 or 1 point and safeties (not sure how many) may have swung the score the other way. With no sideline report we will have to leave it at that. The Vikings end a successful year at 2-2 and made great strides as the year went along. This group combined with the other Colo Nesco team should provide for a great team to keep the emerging Colo Nesco Football program well stocked with athletes for years to come. Congratulations to Coaches Dennis Clatt, Joel Niemeyer, and Marlin Beard as well as the entire Vikings team on a great season.

Chiefs lose first game to Packers 14-19

On what can only be described as a miserable night football, the Chiefs lost their first game of the season after running out of time in a late comeback attempt. Nearly 2 inches of rain all day completely soaked the fields and footing was treacherous at best and with the ball completely soaked the Chiefs passing game struggled to move the ball consistently down the field. However a heroic comeback in the second half offensively and a stingy defense almost allowed the Chiefs to pull out the game in the end, finally running out of time as they were driving for the go ahead score.

Packers ball: 1st - TJ Deahl on stop for short gain, 2nd - Alex Good with stop as runner slipped trying to avoid flag pull, 3rd - #85 Sellberg scored on reverse for TD, PAT was intercepted by Nic Price, score 0-13 Packers. Chiefs Ball: 1st - Brady Stoeffler gained 10 yds on zig-zagging run through th defense, 2nd - bad snap because of wet ball fell to ground, 3rd - Pass from Brady Stoeffler to Parker Eley deflected for incomplete, 4th - Garret Tiarks on fake reverse gained 14 yds. one yard short of 1st down. Packers Ball : 1st - Alex Good on stop after short gain, 2nd - Dropped snap, 3rd - Pass complete for short gain stopped by Brady Stoeffler, 4th - run by #85 again for TD, PAT intercepted and run back for one point by Brady Stoeffler, score 1-19 Packers Ball : 1st - incomplete pass, 2nd - run by Parker Eley for short gain of 3 yds., 3rd - Gavin Fredregill on handoff for short gain of 2 yds. 4th - incomplete pass HALFTIME: Chiefs Ball : 1st - incomplete pass to TJ Deahl who saved an interception by knocking the ball away from the defender, 2nd - TJ Deahl with short gain on run of 2 yds. 3rd - Alex Good with end around for long gain of 30 yds and 1st down, 1st - Brady Stoeffler with nice pass to Alex Good after Brady looked off the safety with his eyes and then came back to a wide open Alex Good for the TD, PAT no good, Score 7-19, Packers Ball: 1st - Good pressure from Garret Tiarks turned runner right into waiting arms of Grant Tiarks for loss of 1 yd. , 2nd - Clayton Bryan with stop for short gain of 1 yd., 3rd - Again good pressure by Garret Tiarks caused QB to throw incomplete, 4th - Garret Tiarks on stop of reverse for loss of 2 yds. Chiefs Ball: 1st - Kevin Hapes with run for short gain on right side of 2 yds. , 2nd - Brady Stoeffler with run for short gain of 1 yd., 3rd - Alex Good with end around for 40 yds. stopped just short of TD, 1st - incomplete pass intended for TJ Deahl, 2nd - Alex Good on run for no gain, 3rd - Alex Good to Brady Stoeffler for TD pass, PAT no good, score 13-19, Packers Ball: 1st - flag on run for pulling on shirt (which should have been tucked in) 10yds. repeat 1st - Grant Tiarks with stop but not until after 1st down gained, 1st- offsides on Packers, 10yds back and repeat 1st down - Great hustle by Clayton Bryan to get flag of runner on end around, 2nd - Hustle by Garret Tiarks for stop for loss of 1 yd., 3rd - Brady Stoeffler saved a TD as he was the last defender to beat but made the play to stop the run., 4th ball batted down by Clayton Bryan almost into the hands of Gavin Fredregill. Chiefs Ball: 1st - Run by Connor Clark netted 5 yds., 2nd - incomplete pass, 3rd - incomplete pass, almost intercepted, 4th - Alex Good on reverse for no gain. Packers Ball: Things looked bleak for the Chiefs as only a minute or so remained and it looked like the Packers could just run out the clock but on 1st down Grant Tiarks made a great hustle play to stop the runner in the endzone for a Chiefs Safety and a score of 15-19. It also gave the Chiefs the ball back who called timeout with :49 seconds remaining 1st - Brady Stoeffler complete to Alex Good for short gain, 2nd - Brady hand off to Alex Good on reverse who then threw back to Brady Stoeffler who had the extrenmely wet ball slipp through his soaked hands. 3rd - Brady Stoeffler to TJ Deahl/ALex Good who both came down with the ball for a first down but flags were pulled immediately, and with time quickly running out the Chiefs ran to the line to get a final play off that fell harmlessly to the turf slipping out of both the center and QB's hand. Time over. Final Chiefs 15- Packers 19
It was a valiant comeback for the Chiefs who had spotted the Packers a 3 TD lead all achieved by one very fast runner on the Packers who had the added advantage of an extremely wet field that left the Chiefs defenders slipping and sliding in the first half. The Chiefs should be proud of the way they never gave up and never lost hope and know that with a little more time on the clock they would have driven for the winning score. Chiefs final game is on Tuesday, October 14th at 7:15

9-11 Vikings vs. Giants on Opening Night

One of the two Colo Nesco 9-11 year old teams played on opening night in the Nevada Flag Football League. The Vikings opened league play with a 7:15 game vs. the Giants from Nevada. On an ideal night for football the Vikings battled the Giants before succumbing to a 12-36 loss. The Vikings opened the game with nice pass play from Steven Cutler to Isiah Texeira for a gain of 10 yds, and followed with a pass from Steven Cutler to Tanner Clatt for another 7 yds. However the drive was cut short on a nice interception by the Giants that was returned for a TD and a 0-6 lead for the Giants; PAT failed. After a quick 4 and out on the Vikings next series, the Giants drove the ball down the field for a second TD, PAT failed and a lead of 0-12. The Vikings answered back on the ensuing drive and received a long TD run from Wayne Beard on an end around, where Wayne outraced everyone down the left sideline for a score and a 6-12 score, PAT failed. Unfortunately the Vikings gave the points right back on the 3rd play of the next Giant drive as the Giants used a reverse to go 30 yds. and take a 6-18 lead, PAT failed. The Vikings next drive bogged down early and the Vikings were forced on 4th and long to try a long pass to get a first down but were unsuccessful as it resulted in the 3rd INT of the half. Outstanding defense prevented the Giants from adding the score as the Vikings stopped them deep in Viking territory (5 yd line) on downs with nice plays by Steven Cutler, Peyton Larsen and Matthew Hill. The Vikings had another 4 and out and the Giants quickly scored in the next possession to make it 6-24, PAT failed. The 1st half scoring ended on a reverse to Wayne Beard around the left end that went for 30yds. and another TD for the Vikings. PAT failed. 12-24 Halftime score. The 2nd half was a defensive stalemate, as both teams struggled offensively. The Giants had the only scores of the 2nd half , one on a 40 yd run and the other on a 25 INT return. Defensive highlights in the second half were provided by Tanner Clatt on an almost interception, Isiah Texeira and Trenton Erickson with good line play to stop 2 consecutive runs and Etienne Bouchard with a nice cover on a receiver to stop a 4th down play. The Viking offense finally got moving late in the game as Peyton Larsen connected on passes to Hunter Beard for 20 yds, again to Hunter for 10 yds and finally to Renauld Bouchard for 15 yds, but an incomplete pass from the 5 yd line ended the game as time expired. All in all it was a good first game for the Vikings, as many players were experiencing their first taste of Flag Football. Nerves and butterflies should be better after getting the first game under their belts. The Vikings face the other Colo Nesco team (Chiefs) in next Tuesday's game which will be the first for them as they had a bye week this week.

The 3rd and 4th Baseball team ends great year with a win!

The 3rd and 4th Baseball team CN1 ended the season with a win and a 3rd place finish in the Nevada Tournament. The Royals end the year with an outstanding 13-4-1 record. On another picture perfect night for baseball (who would have thought we would have any with all the rain early in the year), the Royals playing some of the best team ball of the year beat the Collins Maxwell team 5-2 in the consolation final. Offense, defense and pitching were all on display for the Royals as they jumped out to an early lead and made the pitches and plays that assured them the victory. Brady Stoeffler got the Royals off on the right foot by setting down the CM1 batters 1-2-3 in the top of the 1st, inducing 2 infield pops and a strikeout. Brady had some help from his defense on the pop-ups as Garret Tiarks snared the catch on an extremely high pop that he and Grant Tiarks both seemed to have a play on. Garret also caught the second one, this one more of a line drive, that was headed to right field. In the Royals half of the 1st, they served notice that they were going to be aggressive at the plate as Tanner Clatt rapped a sharp hit to 3rd. Had he not slipped coming out of the box, would have been safe at first. Garret Tiarks stepped in and delivered a long drive to right-center field that resulted in a home run. Grant Tiarks, not to be outdone by his younger brother, then stepped in and stroked another long drive to about the same location with the same results: a home run. The next batter, Brady Stoeffler, drove the ball to center field where only a sliding stop by the left-center fielder kept that ball from rolling a long way. Ben Pepper was up next and stroked a ball to 3rd that the 3rd baseman made a nice play on and forced the runner at 2nd on a very close play. Hunter Beard then finished the hit parade in the 1st with a nice single to center. In all, the Royals got 4 hits, 2 runs in 7 at-bats in the bottom of the first. For the game, Tanner Clatt was 1 for 2 with a single and scored 1 run, Garret Tiarks was 2 for 2 with a home run and a triple (that scored on an overthrow), scored 2 runs and had 2 RBI's, Grant Tiarks was 2 for 2 with 2 runs scored and 2 RBI's on a home run and a single, Brady Stoeffler was 2 for 2 on 2 singles and a run scored, Ben Pepper was 1 for 2 on a single, Hunter Beard was 1 for 2 with a single, and Chase Carlson reached base after being hit by a pitch. Brady Stoeffler pitched well again for the Royals as he pitched 3 innings, allowed only 2 hits, 1 run and struck out 6 of the 12 batters he faced, Grant Tiarks came on in the 4th and pitched 2/3 of an inning, allowing 2 hits, 1 run and struck out 1 of the 5 batters he faced. Tanner Clatt came on in the 4th and struck out the only batter he faced in the 4th for the final out stranding runners at 2nd and 3rd to quelch the CM1 threat. Tanner pitched 1 1/3 innings, allowing 0 hits, o runs and struck out all batters he faced! Defensively for the game, Garret Tiarks had the 2 putouts in the 1st and Grant Tiarks had an assist on a come-backer at the mound to Tanner Clatt for the putout. Grant also had a putout at first on a ball he knocked down and made a diving reach to first to tag the bag ahead of the runner. The "almost" play of the year came on an absolute rocket of a hit by a CM1 batter down the 3rd base line to the fence. Hunter Beard, racing from his left center field position to back up the play, showed off his arm strength by hurling the ball to the infield perfectly hitting his cut-off, shortstop Garret Tiarks, who wheeled and threw a strike to catcher Brady Stoeffler, who applied the tag to a surprised batter just a millisecond too late. It is a play like this one, and a baserunning play made by Brady Stoeffler, who was on 2nd base when a ball was hit to 3rd and bluffed the 3rd baseman into believing he was going to run, allowing the batter to be safe at 1st without a throw, that tells us coaches this group of kids has a good grasp of the game and how it should be played. I had a wonderful year coaching these boys. They were all very dedicated and truly played as a team up and down the roster. They are a fun group to coach and the parents should feel very proud -- they are outstanding young men. If they stick together and keep working at it, the future of Colo Nesco baseball looks very bright. I would like to thank all the parents for getting your kids to practices and games and for dealing with all the rescheduling that had to go on this year. Also a big thank you goes out to my fellow coaches - Randy Stoeffler, Mike Price, Marlin Beard, and Brad Pepper - you made my job much easier and provided positive, knowledgable coaching to the kids. Thank you to both Colo Rec and Nesco Rec for all their support, with a special thanks to Jon and Sandy Cutler and Kami Perry and Joel Niemeyer for all their help throughout the season. Lastly a thank you to all the wives of us coaches who make it possible for us to coach. A special thank you to my wife, Amber, for keeping stats, all the logistical work to keep me somewhat organized, and for generally putting up with me and all the baseball equipment that graces our dining room during the season. (Remember: pictures Tuesday, meet at 6:20pm for awards!)

Royals 3rd and 4th move one team on!

On a hot humid night in Nevada the 3rd and 4th Baseball team saw their split squad teams advance one team on to the 3rd place game Thursday night. CN2 playing in the winners bracket faced a strong Nevada 2 team with CN1 waiting for the loser of that game. CN2 vs. Nevada 2 - The boys put out a vailant effort in their game with Nevada 2 but strong pitching and some timely hitting on Nevada2's part dropped CN2 into the losers bracket of the tournament. For the game CN2 managed only 3 hits as the Nevada pitchers kept the Royal bats silent. For the game Steven Cutler was 1 for 2 with a sharp single to short and Tanner Clatt was 1 for 2 with a home run on a rocket to center field, Tanner scored the only run for the Royals in the 1-5 loss. Dustin Henderson had an excellent at bat in his only plate appearance of the night as he foul tipped a ball and rocketed a line drive the fell just foul down the 1st base line. On the mound for the Royls were Tanner Clatt who pitched 3 innnings, allowed 7 hits, 4 runs (only 2 of them earned due to errors) and had 8 strikeouts, and Steven Cutler who pitched 1 inning allowing 4 hits, 1 run and had 1 strikeout. Defensively Wayne Beard made a nice play on a hot smash to 1st for a putout, Tyler Helgeland made a nice catch on a pop-up to 2nd, and the play of the game came when a Texas-Leaguer dropped in front of the outfielders but behind the infielders and Hunter Beard raced from shortstop to behind 2nd and threw to a waiting Steven Cutler who had covered 2nd base from his pitching position to tag the Nevada runner at 2nd. CN1 vs. CN2 - Unforutnately CN2's loss dropped them into an elimination game vs. a waiting CN1 squad meaning only one Royal team would play on. The first game had also taken its toll on the players as Wayne Beard was unable to play due to an injury and Steven Cutler who was slated to pitch more innings in the 2nd game injured his pitching arm in the first game also. For the game CN1 rapped out 9hits and scored 5 runs while allowing only 2 hits to the CN2 squad. Tyler Anthony was 1 for 2 with a single and a run scored, Garret Tiarks was 2 for 2 with 2 singles and 2 runs scored, Grant Tiarks was 2 for 2 with 1 run scored and aRBI on a single and a triple to center field, Brady Stoeffler scored twice and had a RBI reaching on a fielder's choice and a sacrifice. Ben Pepper was 2 for 2 with 2 RBI's on a double and a Home run however the run was wiped off after he was ruled to have missed 2nd base. Parker Eley was 1 for 2 with a single on the night and Trenton Erickson was 1 for 2 with a single. Brady Stoeffler took the mound for CN1 and pitched 3 innings allowing 2 hits, 1 run and had 7 strikeouts, Grant Tiarks came on in the 4 th and pitched 2 innings allowing 0 hits, 0 runs and had 4 strikeouts. Grant had 2 assists while pitching, turning 2 come-backers into outs by fielding his position, he also had 2 unassisted putouts while playing 1st at the start of the game. Tyler Anthony had 2 putouts while playing first. For CN2 Jared Roberts was 1 for 2 with a lead off double and a run scored and Tanner Clatt was 1 for 2 with an RBI double. Hunter Beard took the mound for CN2 and pitched 2 and 2/3 innings allowing 9 hits, 5 runs and had 4 strikeouts, Tanner Clatt performed yeoman duty as he stepped in to pitch another 1 1/3 innings after having pitched most of the 1st game and allowed 0 hits, 0 runs and struckout 4 batters. CN1 plays the winner of CM1 and Nevada 3 at 6:00 Thursday for 3rd place in the tournament.

3rd and 4th baseball tourney schedule change

The games scheduled for Monday night for 3rd and 4th Baseball CN1 and CN2 have been changed to Tuesday night at the same times, 5:00 for CN2 and 6:30 for CN1. The storms that rolled through on Friday night caused the cancellation of games and a shuffling of the schedule.

3rd and 4th Baseball competes in year-end tourney

The Coaches split the 3rd and 4th baseball team into 2 equal teams of 10 players each and both had opening round games on Thursday night. After a day of heavy rains and storms in the area, the night gave way to perfect playing conditions and the fields in Nevada were in incredible condition. CN1 vs. Nevada 1 - Luck of the draw had the CN1 facing one of the better teams in the tourney in the first round. It was a great baseball game if you like pitching and timely defense. Both teams battled and CN1 came up on the short end this time as Nevada 1 won 2-1.
Nevada 1 got out of the gate quickly getting 4 of their 5 hits for the game in the 1st inning and scoring both runs in the 1st, only one of them earned. Brady Stoeffler took the mound to start for the Royals, and battled through some early control issues and 2 errors by his defense, to pitch 3 innings allowing 4 hits, 1 earned run, 2 runs, and struck out 5 batters. Grant Tiarks came on in the 4th and pitched 1 inning, allowed 1 hit, 0 runs, and struck out 2 batters. Defensively. Grant Tiarks had 2 putouts on consecutive plays as he caught a pop-up at first and then made a nice stop on a hot smash to his right and raced to the bag for the out. Brady Stoeffler had 2 putouts for the game, 1 on a fly ball to him at pitcher and the 2nd on an alert play while catching when he popped up out of his crouch to snare a foul ball behind the plate. The offense struggled on the night as only 4 balls were put in play all night for the Royals -- most of the credit for that goes to the starting Nevada 1 pitcher as he pitched with great control and good velocity in keeping the Royal bats quiet. On the night, Garret Tiarks was 1 for 2 with a double and a run scored and Grant Tiarks was 1 for 2 with a single and a RBI. CN1 received a forfeit in their next game and now advance to play on Monday night at 6:30. CN2 vs. Nevada 4 - Offense was not a struggle in CN2's first game of the tourney as the Royals belted out 17 hits and scored 13 runs in their 13-0 victory. Jared Roberts was 2 for 3 with 2 runs scored and a RBI on a single and a double, Steven Cutler went 2 for 3 with a double and a home run, scored 2 runs and had 2 RBI's, Tanner Clatt went 3 for 3 with a single, a double and a triple, scored 3 runs and had 1 RBI, Hunter Beard went 3 for 3 with a single, a double, and a triple, scored 2 runs and had a RBI. Wayne Beard went 3 for 3 on a double and 2 singles, scored 2 runs and had 2 RBI's, Elliot Morgan went 1 for 3 with a single, Jacob Clatt, playing up from T-Ball in his first game versus live pitching, was 1 for 3 with a line drive double and a RBI, Tyler Helgeland was 1 for 2 with a single and a RBI and also reached base on a Hit-By-Pitch. Chase Carlson was 1 for 2 on a single and had a run scored. Pitching and defense were in fine form for the CN2 squad as Tanner Clatt took the mound to start and pitched 3 innings allowing 2 hits, 0 runs and struck out 7 batters. Steven Cutler came on in the 4th and allowed 2 hits, 0 runs and struck out 4 in 2 innings of work. Elliot Morgan made a nice catch for a put out on a high pop-up, Hunter Beard made a good catch on a line drive smash to him for a put out, and Wayne Beard made the play of the night catching a short pop-up to second for a put out and then wheeling to first to pick off the runner who had strayed to far from the bag on the pop up for an assist on the inning-ending double play. Tanner Clatt made a veteran 1st baseman play on the pop-up by rolling in behind the runner at 1st and receiving the throw from Wayne for a putout. CN2 advances to play Nevada2 at 5:00 on Monday.

3rd and 4th Baseball important notes

Remember there is no game Monday night, they have been cancelled due to scheduling issues from the Nevada teams.

I will let everyone know ASAP when both teams will play in the tournament, I haven't heard yet.

3rd and 4th baseball split a doubleheader with Nevada 1

The Royals finished up the regular season on Friday night with a pair of games against Nevada 1. Nevada 1 was filling in for Nevada 2 in one game as Nevada 2, 3 , and 4 couldn't find in their schedules time to make-up rain-out games. So the Royals regular season ended with 2 games not being rescheduled. The Royals split the doulbeheader with Nevada 1 winning the first contest 5-1 and losing the second 2-4. The Royals end an outstanding the regular season at 9-2-1. In game one vs. Nevada1 - Great Pitching, some solid defense and some timely hitting got the win for the royals in game 1 5-1. Garret Tiarks was 1 for 2 with a single and defensively had a nice catch on a pop-up and good assist on a 4-3 putout. Grant Tiarks was 1 for 2 with a single and had 2 putouts defensively, Brady Stoeffler was 2 for 2 with a run scored on a double and a single, he had a nice assist on a 1-3 putout and pitched 3 very strong innings, facing 9 batters, allowing 0 runs, 0 hits and had 6 strikeouts, Hunter Beard continued his hot bat with a 2 for 2 night on a single and a Home run, scored a run and had 2 RBI's, Hunter also had 2 unassisted putouts at 1st base. Trenton Erickson was 1 for 2 with a single and a run scored, Nic Price reached base on a Hit by pitch and scored a run, Austin Britten came up big with a 1 for 1 night lacing a triple to right field, scoring a run and hd 2 RBI's, and Kevin Hapes went 1 for 1 with a single and a RBI. Game 2 vs. Nevada 1 - Nevada 1 was the home team as agreed to by coaches since they were actually playing an extra game even though it was technically a make-up of a home game for the Royals. Game 2 was an even contest between the teams except for a little defensive lapse by the Royals that allowed 2 unearned runs to cross the plate in the 2nd inning. Steven Cutler was 1 for 2 with a single and a run scored, Steven also made the play of the night as he played a run down situation like a seasoned pro as the Royals had a Nevada1 player hung up between 2nd and 3rd and a bobbled throw at 2nd looked like it would enable the nevada1 runner to advance to 3rd but a heads-up Steven Cutler had rolled around in behind the run down and was positioned perfectly at 3rd and applied the tag to the Nevada runner on a 5-4-5-4-6 putout. Hunter Beard again using a hot bat was 2 for 2 with a run scored and 2 RBI's on a single and a Home Run, Tyler Anthony was 1 for 2 with a single, Ben Pepper was 1 for 1 with a double, Elliot Morgan also had a 1 for 1 night with a single and Brady Stoeffler was 1 for 1 with a single. Tanner Clatt took the mound to start fr the Royals and pitched 2 innings allowing 6 hits, 3 strikeouts and only 1 earned run, however the 2 unearned runs on errors by his fielders gave Tanner the loss on the night. Tyler Anthony pitcing in his season debut pitched well for the Royals in 1 inning of work allowing 2 hits, 1 earned run and had 3 strikeouts. The Royals next play in the season ending tournament on June 26th, 27th, 30th and July 1st. The Royals will field 2 teams for the tournament. Stay tuned to hear actual game times.

Royals 3rd and 4th receive pair of forfeits to improve to 8-1-1

Unfortunately playing the CM1 and CM2 teams for the third time was a little more of a let down as CM1 only had 6 kids show up to the game and CM2 had no one show up. A team must have 9 players at least to start a game so the Royals received 2 forfeits and improved their record to 8-1-1 on the year. CM1 agreed to stay and with some of our players from the 2nd game fielded a team to scrimmage and then graciously agreed to fill in for CM2 and scrimmage a 2nd game with some players from our team 1. Our highlights in game one were as follows - Steven Cutler went 2 for 2 with 2 singles and 1 run scored, Tanner Clatt was 1 for 2 with a single Brady Stoeffler was 1 for 1 with a single, a sacrifice and a RBI, Parker Eley was 1 for 2 with a single, Tyler Anthony went 1 for 2 with a double and scored a run, Elliot Morgan was Hit-By-Pitch and scored a run, Chase Carlson was 1 for 1 with a single, and Trenton Erickson was 1 for 1 with a double and 2 RBI's. Also in the scrimmage Hunter Beard was 2 for 2 with a HR and a single, 1 run scored, and 2 RBI's, and Grant Tiarks was 1 for 1 with a double. Ben Pepper pitched 2 innings allowing 2 hits 2 runs and had 5 strikeouts, Parker Eley came in in the 3rd and pitched 2 innings allowing 3 hits, 0 runs and had 5 strikeouts. In the 2nd scrimmage Wayne Beard went 1 for 2 with a single and a run scored, Garret Tiarks was 1 for 2 with a single, Grant Tiarks was 1 for 2 with a single and a RBI, Brady Stoeffler went 2 for 2 with a run scored and 2 RBI's on a Home Run and a single, and Hunter Beard was 1 for 2 with a single. Pitching saw Hunter Beard throw 2 innings allowing 3 hits, 0 runs and had 3 strikeouts, Garret Tiarks came on in the 3rd and pitched 1 inning allowing 5 hits, 4 runs and had 2 strikeouts. Brady Stoeffler closed out the final inning allowing 0 hits, 0 runs, and striking out the 3 batters he faced.

Royals take 2 from Nevada!

On a picture perfect night (finally!) for baseball, the 3rd and 4th grade Royals put 2 more wins in the book to extend their record to 6-1-1. Game 1 vs. Nevada 4 - The offense came alive again for the Royals as they belted 21 hits in the game and scored 13 runs. Jared Roberts continued his hot hitting going 3 for 3 with 3 runs scored, and 2 RBI's with a single, a triple, and a Home Run from the lead off spot, Garret Tiarks followed with a 3 for 3 night with 3 runs scored, 2 RBI's in a 2 singles and a doubles, Grant Tiarks continued a strong top of the order going 3 for 3 with 3 doubles, 2 runs, and 2 RBI's, Brady Stoeffler filled the roll of clean-up hitter to a T going 2 for 3 on a single and a double, scoring 2 runs and "cleaning up the bases" for 3 RBI's, Tanner Clatt continued his year long hot streak at the plate with another 3 for 3 game on 2 singles and a double, 1 RBI and 1 run scored, Parker Eley had a sharp single past 2nd for a hit, Tyler Anthony's bat continues to come alive with another multi-hit performance as he went 3 for 3 with 2 singles and a double and 2 RBI's. Nic Price stepped up again with 2 for 3 night on 2 hard singles and a run scored, Kevin Hapes had a nice single, scored a run and had a RBI to round out the strong offensive showing. The 13 runs added a nice measure of relaxation for the pitchers who went out strong and finished well, Tanner Clatt took the mound and pitched 2 innings allowing only 2 hits and had 4 strikeouts, Parker Eley came on in the 3rd to pitch one strong inning allowing 1 hit and had 2 strikeouts, Brady Stoeffler closed the door on the game striking out the only 3 batters he faced. Game 2 vs Nevada 3 - Game 2 was more of a classic battle as both teams fought and clawed for every run as good defense and some timely pitching on both sides limited any big innings. The Royals were able to mount a final inning rally to secure a 3-2 victory. Garret Tiarks was 1 for 2 in the game but his hit was a lead-off triple in the bottom of the 4th and final (due to time limit) frame with the Royals trailing 1-2. Hunter Beard then came up clutch with a solid single to score the tying run from 3rd. Hunter had another great night at the plate going 2 for 2 with a Home Run and a single, 2 RBI's and 2 runs scored, Grant Tiarks was next and rocketed a moon shot to deep center, but an outstanding catch by the Nevada 3 center-fielder robbed Grant of the potential game-winning RBI. Step up Steven Cutler who continued his solid hitting with a game winning double to right center field, Steven came up big again at the plate going 2 for 2 on a single and a double and the game winning RBI. Tyler Helgeland had a sharp base hit on the night and made a wonderful catch on a sky high pop-up while he was playing shortstop. Henry Elliot-Rude had another good single to deep 3rd to continue his hot hitting at the plate. Defense and pitching was good for both sides and stopped many threats. Grant Tiarks took the mound to start and a tight strike zone caused some anxious moments throughout his 2 innings. Grant battled through though and ended with 3 strikeouts, 5 hits allowed and 2 earned runs. Hunter Beard came on in the 3rd and in one inning allowed only 1 hit, 0 earned runs and had 1 strikeout. Steven Culter came in in the 4th and pitched one inning in relief earning the win, allowing 1 hit, 0 earned runs, and 3 strike-outs. The Royals play again on Wednesday night in Colo at the Casey's field. They also have a make-up game from June 12th on Friday in Zearing.

3rd & 4th Baseball offense comes to life!

The 3rd and 4th Baseball teams bats came alive in 2 games with CM. The games were played in Zearing due to flooding of the Maxwell City Park with CM still being the Home team even at an away venue. The Royals won both games, the first 5-3, and the second 5-2 to raise their record to 4-1-1 on the year. Game 1 vs. CM2 - The Royals got 11 hits in game one and scored 5 runs in some impressive hitting up and down the line-up. Garret Tiarks connected on solid single and scored a run, Grant Tiarks broke out of his hitting slump and drove a line-drive to the gap in center and touched them all for a home run, Steven Cutler had 2 sharp singles and scored a run, Hunter Beard had a good night at the plate with a single and a double, a run scored and 2 RBI's, Ben Pepper drove in a run on a good Sacrifice, Elliot Morgan had a breakout game going 2 for 2 with a double and a single and scoring a run, Austin Britten collected his first hit on the year with a single to the right side, and Henry Elliot-Rude had 2 solid singles and an RBI. On defense, one bad inning allowed 3 runs for the CM2 team otherwise the Royals had solid pitcing and defense for the game. Grant Tiarks pitched 2 innings, allowing 1 hit, 0 earned runs and had 6 strikeouts, Hunter Beard came on in the 3rd and pitched 1 2/3 innings allowing 3 hits, only 1 earned run and had 5 strikeouts (3 errors in the field behind him in the 4th inning cost the Royals the runs). Garret Tiarks came on in the 4th and got the Royals out of the jam, striking out the batter he faced, Garret pitched 1/3 of an inning officially as 2 base hits to start the 5th by the CM2 team brought in Steven Cutler who quelched any thoughts CM may have had as he struck out all 3 batters he faced to end the game. Game 2 vs. CM1 - The Royal bats kept rolling in game 2 as they collected 10 hits and scored 5 runs again in the 5-2 win. Jared Roberts continued his hot bat as he hit the ball all 3 times at the plate collecting 1 hit, a sharp single and a run scored, Brady Stoeffler had a big night, going 2 for 2 with 2 runs scored and 3 RBI's with a single and a line-drive to the gap in center for a Home run, Ben Pepper had a single and a run scored, Tyler Anthony had a big game going 2 for 2 with 2 sharp singles, Parker Eley got a solid single between short and 2nd, Tyler Helgeland had a good base hit past short and Trenton Erickson went 2 for 2 with 2 singles and a run scored. Steven Cutler pitched 2 innnings to start game 2 and allowed 3 hits, 1 earned run and had 5 strikeouts, Ben Pepper came on in the 3rd, allowed 2 hits 0 runs and had 3 strikeouts before a foot injury saw him leave the mound during warm-ups before the 4th inning. Brady Stoeffler came on in relief and pitched 2 innings allowing 3 hits, 1 earned run and struck out 5 batters. The Royals are back in action on Thursday night in Colo (weather and flood-free permitting)

3rd & 4th Baseball wins one, ties one in games with CM

The Royals took on 2 teams from Collins Maxwell on Wednesday Night with good results in both. Game 1 vs. CM1 - Good defense and good pitching resulted in a 0-0 draw between the 2 teams. CM1 pitchers silenced the Royals bats as the Royals only managed 1 hit on the night with Tanner Clatt collecting that hit on a single to center field. The Royals did manage to get the bat on several balls but unfortunately none found it safely for a hit. Pitching and defense kept the CM batters in check also as Tanner Clatt started the game on the mound and pitched 2 innings, scattering 3 hits amongst 4 strikeouts and 2 short pop-ups for 0 runs. Ben Pepper in his first action on the mound came in in the 3rd and allowed 1 hit, had 4 strikeouts and 0 runs in 2 innings of work. Steven Cutler preserved the tie in the 5th with a dominating 3 strikeouts vs. 3 batter performance. Game 2 vs. CM2 - game 2 saw the Royal bats finally come alive as the Royals had 8 hits and scored 5 runs in the 5-1 victory. Jared Roberts collected 2 singles on the night with hits to right center and center, Brady Stoeffler had 2 singles and scored twice, Tanner Clatt continued his srong offense with 2 doubles, 2 runs scored and 2 RBI's, Tyler Anthony had a good night at the plate with a single, a Sacrifice, 1 run scored, and 2 RBI's and Nic Price had a sharp single between 2nd and short. Brady Stoeffler took the mound for the Royals and pitched 2 good innings allowing only one hit and striking out 3, Garret Tiarks made his pitching debut with a quality start, facing 3 batters, striking out 3. Grant Tiarks came on in the 4th for one inning, faced 3 batters and struck out 1. Parker Eley closed the game for the Royals in one inning of work, allowing 2 hits, 1 run, and striking out 2. The Royals are now 2-1-1 on the year with 4 games next week. Continued improvement at bat and continued strong pitching and defense should yield some good results. Note: Monday's game has been moved to Zearing because of flooding in Maxwell!

3rd and 4th Baseball game vs. C/M has been moved!

Monday's scheduled games versus Collins Maxwell on June 9th at 5:30 and 7:00 have been moved to the Zearing baseball field due to field flooding in Maxwell. CM will still be the home team in both games.

3rd and 4th Baseball goes 1-1 against Nevada teams

The season finally got started for the 3rd and 4th grade boys with a pair of games in Nevada on Monday night. The Royals split the games losing the first 0-3 and winning the second 1-0. Game 1 vs. Nevada 2- Steven Cutler, Parker Eley and Tanner Clatt shared pitching duties on the mound for the Royals in game one. Nevada 2 got on the board early scoring 2 runs on some good hitting and costly throwing errors by the Royals. Steven showed good control after some first inning, first game jitters and struck out 4 batters and allowed 1 earned run in his 2 innings of work. Parker Eley making his first ever pitching debut, pitched well striking out the first 2 batters he faced and finishing with 3 strikeouts and 1 earned run allowed in 1 inning of work. Tanner Clatt closed out the game for the Royals showing good velocity and accuracy in his work on the mound as he struck out 3 of the 4 batters he faced. The Royal bats were a little silent in game one as some good Nevada 2 pitchers controlled the game throughout. Steven Cutler with a line-drive single past second,Tanner Clatt with a sharply hit single between 2nd and short and Brady Stoeffler with a double to center had the only 3 hits for the Royals in Game 1. Game 2 vs. Nevada 1- This also was a pitchers duel but one where the Royals jumped out to the lead and strong defense and pitching sealed the win. Wayne Beard lead-off the game with a triple to center field and Garret Tiarks' RBI single plated Wayne for an early 1-0 lead. These were the only 2 hits the Royals mustered on the night but because of their defense and pitching it was enough. In the bottom of the first Grant Tiarks took the mound and first game jitters and lack of control quickly found himself with the bases loaded and no one out. Grant gathered himself and struck out the next 2 batters on eight pitches, he then induced a high flyball to center field that Garret Tiarks made a running catch on and the Royals had quashed the threat. Grant pitched 2 innings struck out 3 and allowed 0 earned runs in 2 innings of work, Hunter Beard came on in relief in the third, striking out the first batter he saw and inducing 2 groundouts in the next 3 batters on nice fielding by the Royals. Brady Stoeffler earned the save as he came on in the 4th getting 2 quick strikeouts and then making the play on a comebacker with a throw to first to end the game. All in all it was a good couple of first games and as is the case usually for this age, hitting in a live game against live pitching is a struggle early in the year.

4th Grade Girl's Basketball finishes 1-1 at CMB tourney!

The 4th grade girls rebounded after a tough first game ever loss to a great finish at the CMB tourney winning the second game 17-7. Game one saw some first game jitters as well as some girls getting used to playing together for the first time for the Royals. We had five girls come out for basketball this year and when one of the five had a family obligation arise we were left scrambling for players - step in Keeley Dodd, Madison Lundquist and Teri Perisho. These three girls agreed to help us out and only got one practice before the first game in Maxwell. All three did an exceptional job for us and by the second game we looked like we had been playing together all year. I am also proud of the original team members as they played very well and have shown great progress since the beginning of the year. We are attempting to get in another tournament for these girls and will have higher expectations going into the next one with some further practice time.

4th and 5th Grade Boys Bassketball

Well the tournament season is off to a rough start as the combined 4th and 5th grade boys team (due to lack of numbers) have participated in 2 tournaments to date. The Royals are 0-4 but are showing signs of improvement. Because of the mixed squad we are forced to play in the 5th grade realm at tournaments even though we have more 4th graders than 5th graders. Our youth and inexperience shows up in physical size and complexity of offensive schemes being run. We have been under-sized in every game we have played, facing kids on other teams that look like 6th graders or better at times compared to us. To this groups credit though they have never given up and continue to out-hustle most of their opponents. Because of our lack of size other squads tend to throw the ball over the top on us and their big guys (usually almost 6 to 12" taller than our tallest) have an easy time. We have led at half-time of 2 of the games but just have worn out in the second halves trying to defend the bigger kids. We have a couple weeks until our next tourney in Colo at which I'm sure the kids will continue to give it their all!
