College scene

Lance Hattemer, a two-sport standout at Cheney High School, has signed a letter of intent to play football and baseball at Walla Walla Community College.

Hattemer was an All-Frontier League quarterback in football and a catcher in baseball, although an injury has kept him out of baseball this spring.

Eric Rosentrater, a former two-time all-state football player at Ritzville High School, will transfer to Western Washington from Spokane Falls Community College.

The 220-pound Rosentrater, a defensive end, played junior varsity football at the Air Force Academy for one year before transferring to SFCC. He’s also a former two-time State B track champion in the javelin, throwing a record 231 feet.

Former North Central High School baseball pitcher Garret Carlson has a 0-1 record with a 6.30 ERA in six games for Notre Dame. In 10 innings he has given up 13 hits, has struck out 10 and walked six.

Nate Williams, a Naval Academy freshman from Liberty Lake (Central Valley), has the best dual-meet tennis record for the Midshipmen at 11-5 while playing doubles.

Andy Palmer from Cheney, riding for Chico State, has moved into first place in the National Collegiate Cycling Federation’s California circuit. The top 10 qualify for the NCCF nationals June 2-5 in Reno, Nev.

Football

Three Washington natives and the brother of a former University of Washington captain have been selected as captains of the 1995 Huskies.

Head coach Jim Lambright announced that defensive tackle Stephen Hoffmann, whose brother, Dave, was a 1992 UW captain, was selected along with tight end Ernie Conwell, defensive end Deke Devers and fullback Richard Thomas. Devers is from Garfield High of Seattle and Conwell and Thomas from Kentwood of Kent.

Hockey

Spokane Chiefs coach Mike Babcock will be inducted into the Lethbridge, Alberta, sports hall of fame.

Babcock coached the University of Lethbridge Pronghorns to the Canada Interuniversity Athletic Union championship last season before leaving to sign a three-year contract with the Chiefs.

He and the Pronghorns will be honored at a banquet Friday night.

Budgetary restraints threatened the school’s hockey program before the Pronghorns started the season that led to the national title. The school had never made the playoffs in 10 seasons prior to last year.

The over-60 old-time hockey players from Spokane will take on the Spokane All-Stars, a women’s team, tonight at 6:30 at the Eagles Ice-A-Rena. Admission is a can of food for the Spokane Food Bank.

The museum is located in the South Park Industrial Area, 1605 S. 93rd St.
