6C Wednesday, Feb. 16, 2011 Bulletin, Progressive, Record, Reporter " College softball starts 5-0 The Golden Eagles began their 2011 season with games versus Gavilan College and Santa Rosa College on Feb. 4. In the opening• game versus Gavilan College, the Golden Eagles got off to a slow start, getting shut down in the first three innings of play by Gavi- lan pitcher Niki Lobato. Matching Lobato pitch by pitch was sophomore return- ing all Golden Valley Confer- ence pitcher Erica Wieck. The momentum shifted Feather River College's way in the top of the fourth when Quincy High School stand-out Brittany Potter stepped to the plate to lead off the inning. On the first pitch Potter saw, she quickly gave the Golden Ea- gles a 1-0 lead, as she belted a solo home run over the left field fence. Feather River College's of- fense ended L0bato's day by adding seven runs in the top of the fifth inning on a one-out triple by freshman outfielder Ashley Barrett and a double by sophomore Shelby Watts. Karly Hall added an RBI sin- gle in the inning and the Gold- en Eagles did not look back as they went on to win the game 10-3. Erica Wieck pitched sev- en string innings in her first win of the 2011 season. The second game of the day matched up Feather River College with the Santa Ros Bearcubs. This game was about pitching, as Annalee Rubio baffled the Bearcubs' bats all day. Rubio only gave up five hits while striking out eight and surrendering only one run. The Golden Eagle of- fense gave Rubio all the runs she needed in the third and fourth innings, scoring three runs in those two innings on clutch hitting by Erica Wieck, Ashley Barrett, Leah Justice and Annalee Rubio. Feather River College went on to win the contest 4-1. The Golden Eagles traveled south to Monterey to play in the Monterey Peninsula tour- nament Feb. 5 - 6. Feather River College found itself matched up with the host col- lege, Monterey Peninsula Col- lege, in their first game on Saturday. Feather River scored first as Ashley Barrett led off the game with a double down the third baseline. Barrett scored four pitches later on two passed balls by the Monterey catcher. The game remained 1-0 until the Golden Eagles stepped to the plate in the top of the third inning. Barrett's lead-off walk began the inning and was immediately followed by a Leah Justice double, a Brittany Potter double and a Shelby Watts triple, breaking the game open and making the score 5-0. Starting pitcher Erica Wieck retired Monterey in or- Sophomore Alex Alakai goes up to bat for the Feather River College softball team.

Shelby Watts singled in two runs following an Alexandria Alakai hit by pitch and a Leah Justice walk. Just when Monterey thought they were going to get out of the inning, Tess Oliphant lined a two out, two strike double down the right field line to bring in Watts and Hall, taking the score to 10-0. Monterey brought two runs across in the bottom of the fourth, but the Golden Eagles had already done too much damage. Erica Wieck had an- other solid pitching perfor- mance as she would pitch 4- 2/3 innings, giving up two runs on two hits while strik- ing out four. Quincy High School stand-out K.D. Dry- bread got the last out for the Golden Eagles. The second half' of the Feather River College double header matched the Golden Eagles up against the West Valley Vikings. West Valley struck first, SCoring a single run in the first inning on an error. Once again, the Golden EagIe offense rose to the occa- sion and quickly got the lead back for starting pitcher An- nalee Rubio. Three singles by Annalee Rubio, Shelby Watts and Karly Hall gave Feather River a 2-1 lead. This was a lead that the Golden Eagles would never give back. Rubio settled down and did not allow another run until the sixth inning and the Golden Eagle offense struck again in the top of the third. Following a West Valley er- ror and a Alexandria Alakai walk, Ashley Barrett stepped up to the plate and lined a solid single up the middle to put two runners on base for BrittanyPotter. Potter lined an RBI single to left field. Shelby Watts was then hit by a pitch bringing up Karly Hall. Hall lined a sharp line drive into the right center gap, scoring both Potter and Watts. Hall ended •up with a triple, Erica Wieck immediately singled up the middle scoring Hall and gave the Golden Ea- gles a commanding 7-1 lead. Feather River added one more run in the fifth and four more in the sixth and went on to win the contest 12-2. An- nalee Rubio pitched six strong innings, giving up two runs and only two hits while striking out nine. Finishing up the five-game stretch, Feather River was matched with Victor Valley College. Victor Valley is lo- cated in Southern California and competes in the Foothill Athletic Conference. Behind a strong pitching perfor- mance by Erica Wieck the Golden Eagles won a very fast-paced game 2-0. An RBI triple by AshleY' Barrett in the fifth inning was all Wieck needed. Wieck took a perfect game into the fifth inning before an error ended her bid for perfection. Wieck maintained the no hit- ter until the seventh inning before a bunt single ended the no-hit bid. Wieck ended the contest going all seven in- nings, striking out six and shutting Victor Valley out. Feather River f inisted the weekend winning all five of its games while hitting .384 as a team with a .88 ERA. The Golden Eagles will be on the road again Feb. 20 - 21 as they travel south toSan Jose to take on San Jose City Col- lege and San Joaquin Delta College. Game time on both days will be noon and 2 p.m. ' CCCAA Scholar Team Award Recipients Fall 2009-Spring 2010 Spring 2010 Sport College GPA Baseball Men's Golf Softball Men's Swimming Women's Swimming Men's Tennis Women's Tennis Men's Track & Field Women's Track & Field Men's Volleyball Feather River College 3.40 Modesto Jr. College 3.14 Feather River College 3.38 Orange Coast College 3.16 Orange Coast College 3.23 American River College 3.30 Saddleback College 3.57 Moorepark College 3.04 Butte College 3.32 Moorepark College 3.05 FRC has two scholar teams The California Comnmnity College Athletic Association (CCCAA) has announced that both the women's soft- ball and men's baseball teams at Feather River Col- lege have been selected as CCCAA Scholar Teams for 2010.

Tke be.00t time for ice risking Michael Condon Staff Writer Internet@plumasnews.com Recently a TV comedian shared, as they like to do, a less than intelligent newspa- per headline: "Winter is the best time for ice fishing." Now I know that is rather dumb. But I just can't seem to get it out of my head. I hope that by sharing it with you, I will finally be able to let go of it. There, I feel better now. Lake Davis Let's face it, painfully obvi- ous or not, this really is the best time of year for ice fish- ing. Just ask the angler who caught the 5-p0und trout through the ice at Lake Davis. She is not the only one en- joying success at Davis. Ac- cording to the good folks at J&J Grizzly Store and Camp- ing Resort at Lake Davis, the lake has been fishing very well. The ice had been getting a • little thin, but with the re- cent cold and wet weather it .,o., c,,,,, . FLOYD A. BOYD CO.

Like many recently caught fish, this one is nice and plump which speaks well for the health of Almanor's trout Photo by Gary Klement should be getting thicker by now. Check with the folks at J&J Grizzly Store (832-0270) or you can look for them on Facebook. Frenchman Lake The ice at the dam was about 5 - 7 inches' thick a few days ago but should be get- ting thicker now that colder weather has set in. Anglers have been catching their lim- its of rainbow trout at the dam. Night crawlers have been the preferred bait. Call Wiggin's Trading Post (993-4683) for current infor- mation. Ice Fishing Tournament There will be an ice fishing tournament at Lake Davis on Feb. 26. The tournament is sponsored by Trout Unlimit- ed and John Pato Sr. and is a benefit for the American Cancer Society. First prize is $200 and the entry fee is $20. Entry forms are available at J&J Grizzly Store, KS Market in Portola, and The Mill Woi'ks in Graeagle. Check-in starts at 7 a.m. and fishing begins at 8 a.m. For more information, call John at 832-9659. Lake Almanor If ice fishing isn't your thing, try Lake Almanor. It may not be as hot as it was a few weeks ago but patient (and maybe slightly lucky) anglers are finding fish. I was there a few days ago and talked to a couple of trollers who were returning to the dock. One said he had been doing well within the last week or two but on that day he "couldn't buy a fish." An- other angler fared a bit bet- ter with three fish to the fief. According to Doug Neal of Almanor Fishing Adven- tures (258-6732), water sur. face temperatures' are hold- ing below 36 degrees F. The fish are moving slowly and they are scattered all over the lake. There are no real hot trolling lanes established. Fish are being caught, but anglers are putting in lots of time to catch them. Silver Needlefish and Speedy Shiners rigged from five to 15 feet down seemed to be working best for trollers, hooking a mix of rainbows and browntrout. Geritol Cove, near the dam, has been the most pres- sured .area the past week, with anglers fishing from boats and shore alike. They are catching fish on a variety of baits like PowerBait, salmon eggs, crawlers and even jigs ... the action is not hot, but fish are being caught. In general, fishing pres- sure has been on the light side, as usual for February, however, this year's winter access has never been better for this high elevation lake and fishing on sun-sparkled water sure beats watching another rerun of Caddyshack according to Neal. An interesting online resource I enjoy fishing and the out- doors on several levels. One of those levels is as a food source. I fish, hunt, garden and forage and all of those pursuits can put food on the table. I enjoy turning my catch into a good meal. I recently learned of a web. site that speaks to those in- terests Very nicely. The web- site, Honest-Food.net, is the work of Hank ShaW, a for- mer line cook and commer- cial fisherman. Hank Shaw hunts or fishes for nearly all his meat, and grows or forages nearly all his fruits and veggies, lie runs3he two-time James Beard Award-nominated blot "Hunter Angler Garden. er Cook" and is writing a book about foraging, fishing and hunting for Rodale Press. He lives near Sacra- mento. If you like to cook, and es- pecially if you like to cook food you have procured in the outdoors, you need to checkout his website at Hon. est-Food.net. It is full of great recipes and interesting sto- ries about Hank's outdoor adventures.
