Ridder leads Redhawks

Ridder broke her own school record in the 50 freestyle with a time of 25.62 seconds, which earned her third place.
Teammate Chloe Rogers finished eighth in the 50 free, one spot away from a state berth, but Braden hopes she will earn a wildcard spot at state.

Welch made it to the second round of competition and Ridder finished fourth overall.
“Coach Andy Ridder has done an amazing job with these girls,” Braden said.
Without a diving board at their home pool, the Redhawks divers practice in Sequim on Friday evening and Saturday morning, each day for only one hour.

Tulalip Heritage 82, Clallam Bay 60
MARYSVILLE — Casey Randall’s big day wasn’t enough for Clallam Bay, which closed out its football season with an 82-60 loss to Tulalip Heritage.
Randall, a senior playing the final game of his high school career, played a part in all nine of the Bruins’ touchdowns.
Randall ran for three scores, passed for three and returned two kickoffs and one interception for touchdowns.
He also led the team in tackles with 22.
“It was pretty much the Casey Randall show,” Clallam Bay coach Cal Ritter said after Saturday’s game.
“I can’t say enough about the kid.
“My goodness.”
The Bruins and Hawks originally were scheduled to play at on Oct. 25, but the shootings at Marysville-Pilchuck High School, where Quil Ceda Stadium is located, the day before postponed the game.
Randall was honored with some flowers as a senior playing his
final game.
Ritter said Randall took his flowers and added them to a memorial near the field for the students who died in the shootings.
“That’s just an attribute to his character,” Ritter said.
“I’m really going to miss that kid.”
Clallam Bay fell behind early due to a pair of interceptions. The Bruins recovered, but never could overcome the early deficit.
Eighth-grader Clayton Willis caught two of Randall’s touchdown passes and Sam Signor hauled in the other.
Clallam Bay ends the season with a 4-5 record, including 1-4 in the North Olympic League.
Although the Bruins lose senior leaders Randall and Kelly Gregory, Ritter is excited about the future.
“We gave some young kids that made remarkable improvements,” Ritter said.
