Reeves, Urdahl In All-Star Game
Grant Reeves of Mead and Tucker Urdahl of Cheney have been selected to play in the Washington vs. Oregon high school all-star baseball series this weekend in Vancouver.
In last weekend’s all-state games in East Wenatchee, Urdahl had three hits. Reeves went 3 for 5 with a 420-foot home run and a double.
Reeves, incidentally, signed a letter of intent to play with Columbia Basin Community College, which will be coached by former Gonzaga University assistant Scott Rogers.
Dahmen delivers
Jeff Dahmen’s second hit of the night, a two-run homer in the bottom of the fifth inning, made it a short night of work for the Bandits in AAA American Legion baseball at Jackson Field on Monday.
Dahmen’s blow gave the Bandits (2-0) a 14-6 victory over the Cannons in a game terminated by the eight-run-lead rule.
Dahmen went 2 for 3 with a double and three RBIs.
Justin Folkins drove in two runs for the Cannons.
The Cannons (3-2) pulled out an 8-7 victory over the Noth Stars (2-7) in the second game when Brian Lawler scampered home on a wild pitch in the bottom of the seventh.
Raif Jochim had a two-run homer for the Cannons and Joe Chimienti had a home run and three RBIs for the North Stars.
Brett Haiar went 4 for 4 with three doubles and four RBIs to spark the Bandits to a 9-4 victory over Everett in the championship game of the Skagit Valley Invitational tournament Sunday.
Kamloops names coach
Marc Habscheid, a former player for the Kamloops Blazers, is the new coach of the Western Hockey League team.
Habscheid, who played for Kamloops in the early 1980s, was coaching the Melfort Mustangs of the Saskatchewan Junior League.
Last month, the Blazers fired Ed Dempsey after he compiled a twoyear record of 76-59-9.
A tough challenge
Spokane Country Club, set up with U.S. Open-type conditions for a weekend club tournament, proved a challege for members of the Athletic Round Table Pro-Am Series on Monday.
And the scores reflected the difficult conditions, with only four pros bettering par and four others matching it.
Dan Porter of Downriver carved out a two-stroke victory with a 3-under-par 69 (36-33). Steve Prugh of Manito (35-36), Bill Ross of Wandermere (35-36) and Bob Scott of MeadowWood (36-35) had 71s.
Low amateur honors were shared by Chad Gaffaney, Esmeralda; Jon Ebbeler, Lewiston; and Jim O’Rourke, Spokane CC, with 74s.

University of Idaho assistant volleyball coach Debbie Martin, a former St. Maries star, will join former UI coach Tom Hilbert’s staff at Colorado State. She was on Hilbert’s UI staff for one season.
Post Falls tabs coach
