Jensen Holloway batted a perfect 4-for-4 with three singles and a bases- clearing double as he led the Chewelah Forty-Niners to a 12-2 baseball victory over visiting Mead last Thursday evening.
This win, coupled with Friday’s sweep of a doubleheader against Riverside, lengthened Chewelah’s winning streak to four straight games.
The Niners split a doubleheader against North Central on Tuesday of last week. Friday’s sweep of Riverside jacked their record up to 11-6.
Chewelah wore its flashy orange and black uniforms for the first time at home on Thursday. Coach Sawyer Bardwell decided to make use of the boxed-up Northeast Forty-Niner uniforms that were used by the local AAA-team last year. So, now, the local AA-team is the Chewelah Forty-Niners, no longer the Cougars. The Chewelah A-team will continue to be known as the Cougars.
Holloway scored three runs and batted in three more to lift the Niners to a 9-6 record for the season. He lifted his batting average up to .375 for the season.
Ben Richmond earned the pitching win, allowing only three hits and two runs in five innings on the mound for Chewelah. More

The Spokane Northstars hit their way out of a five-game slump last Wednesday evening as Chewelah players provided the punch needed to move the team past the Spokane Bandits to complete a doubleheader sweep.
Ryder Robison singled up the middle in the top of the fifth inning to score Elan Krausz to give the Northstars a 4-3 lead. Krausz got on base by singling into rightfield and later scored. Dom Coleman was advanced by Krausz to third base and also scored. Robison batted 2-for-4 with two runs batted in. He also earned the win on the mound, throwing the complete game and striking out six Bandit batters. More

Shallon Crossley is making up for lost time.
After wrestling for just two years at Mary Walker High School, the recently graduated resident of Springdale is continuing her career at Mac Murray College in Jacksonville, Illinois.
A basketball player by trade, Crossley decided to make the switch her junior year after coming off two minor knee surgeries. She discovered a knack and a passion for the sport of wrestling and is excited she gets to continue to do a sport she loves.
MacMurray College competes in NCAA Div. III and announced in 2016 that it would be bringing back its wrestling program – including a women’s team – after a ten-year gap. MacMurray was originally an all-female school, founded in 1845 by Methodist clergymen but has since become fully co-ed with an enrollment of 570 students.
