Mad Dog, hoops star? Oh, it’s true!!

SCC

   Shoreline Community College’s 2014-2015 womens’ basketball squad, including Wolf grad Madeline Roberts (32).

Madeline Roberts

Mad Dog

Cue the record scratch.

Pulling off a surprise move, Mad Dog has jumped sports venues and is now ready to rain down buckets.

In one of the more unexpected bits of athletic news in 2014, former Coupeville High School softball sensation Madeline Roberts has picked up a second sport in college.

Now a freshman at Shoreline Community College, where she’s on scholarship to play softball, Roberts walked on the Dolphin womens’ basketball squad, which opened its season Friday with a loss to Wenatchee Valley.

“Yeah, haha, they didn’t have enough girls and needed some extra bodies, so I tried out,” Roberts said.

Despite not having played competitively in four years (she last ran the hardwood as a CHS freshman), her natural athletic skills took over and she’s now a gym rat again.

She apparently even convinced the person doing the SCC roster to believe she’s five-foot-four. Uh huh…

Shoreline plays in the Northwest Athletic Conference and has a 20+ game schedule that stretches through Feb.

That’ll keep Roberts active and on the go until it’s time to revert back to her glory days of being a slap-hitting lead-off hitter with dangerous speed and unexpected pop in her bat.

Tyler King ran fast Friday, but now he’ll have to sit and wait to see if he gets to run again.

The Coupeville High School grad, currently a redshirt junior at the University of Washington, finished 33rd out of 192 runners at the NCAA Division I West Regional cross country meet in California.

King covered the 10,000 meter course at Stanford in 30 minutes, 11.6 seconds, the fourth fastest time by a Husky man.

The 33rd place finish, on his birthday, was seven slots better than his career best at the event (40th as a freshman).

The top two teams at the regional — Oregon and Portland — move on as a group to the NCAA Championships in Terra Haute, Indiana Nov. 22.

The Dawgs, who entered the 29-team regional ranked #11 in the nation, finished fifth in the team battle.

Washington now has to wait and see if it receives one of 13 “at-large” berths into the 31-team championships. If it does, it would be the first time the U-Dub mens’ team had advanced to nationals since 2009.

In the individual standings Friday, Maxim Korolev of Stanford (29:33.5) edged out Oregon’s Edward Cheserek (29:35) for the title.

Aaron Nelson was the top Husky, finishing seventh in 29:45.2, while Izaaic Yorks (24th) and Meron Simons (32nd) were between him and King.

The Washington women finished fourth as a team, led by Maddie Meyers, who finished 7th, covering a 6,000 meter course in 20:17.1.

Mitch Pelroy lit the fuse and the University of Montana Western exploded.

Set up by a 33-yard kickoff return from the speedy Coupeville High School grad, the Bulldogs crushed MSU-Northern 60-15 Saturday in NAIA gridiron action, claiming the school’s first winning record in a decade.

Closing with four straight wins, Montana Western finished the season 6-5 overall, 6-4 in the Frontier Conference. It was the school’s first winning season since 2004.

Sophomore Sam Rutherford keyed the win, rambling for 111 yards and two touchdowns. He snapped the school’s single-season rushing record with 1,061 yards — the first Bulldog to break 1,000 yards.

Montana Western quarterback Tyler Hulse wrapped up a stellar career as a Bulldog by passing for 244 yards and three touchdowns. Hulse capped his final game by rushing for a 15-yard touchdown as well.

Playing as a redshirt sophomore, Pelroy led the Bulldogs in both punt (four returns for 56 yards) and kickoff returns (16-389) and was fifth on the team in all-purpose yardage with 445 yards.

He also recorded 14 solo tackles and four assists while playing in the defensive backfield.

Tyler King at rest.

  Tyler King at rest. The only time you can get a photo of the speed demon without it being a blur.

Tyler King is the one who knocks … his opponents out.

Coming off the best race of his collegiate cross country career, the Coupeville High School grad, currently rampaging on scholarship at the University of Washington, received his first All-Pac-12 honors Wednesday.

The redshirt junior finished 12th at the Pac-12 Championships — second-best by a Husky — and was selected to the league’s Second Team when honors were handed out.

He was joined by senior U-Dub teammate Aaron Nelson, while fellow Dawg Colby Gilbert was named as the league’s Freshman of the Year.

Colorado and Oregon combined to grab six of the seven First-Team spots, with Duck sophomore Edward Cheserek tabbed as the Athlete of the Year. Mark Wetmore of Colorado won Coach of the Year.

Junior Maddie Meyers was a First-Team selection for the Washington women.
