Beginning
our 27th year
in business!
During the past 26 years, we are proud
to have built more than 70 homes and 100
garages in Plumas County, not to mention
the hundreds of remodels, additions and
insurance repairs we've done as well.
With the change in the economy
(specifically, fewer new housing starts),
my business partner (and son) Donavon
and I knew we had to change our business
model. We're not going anywhere, and
we still build new homes, garages
and commercial buildings.
So, in the past year we found there
was a real need to assist homeowners
in making their existing homes more
efficient, attractive and valuable. We've
helped lots and lots of people with all
kinds of projects
that might have
only taken
15 minutes
to several
days or
weeks to
complete.
And, if we
couldn't do their job, we'd
make sure to connect them with some-
one who could.
It's that kind of service and satisfaction
that will help take us through our next
25 years!!!

Portola Tigers go down fighting
The Portola Lady Tigers
basketball team lost at home
to the Vacaville Christian La-
dy Falcons on Tuesday, March
8, 50 to 57. It was the first-
round game of the California
State Championships. The
Falcons are the Sierra Delta
League runners-up, and are
ranked 42nd in California Di-
vision V. Portola, Mid-Valley
South League champion team,
is ranked slightly lower at 47.
The game promised to be a
barnburner, and the fans were
not disappointed.
Both teams came out hard
and aggressive in the first
frame with trapping full court
press defense. The Falcons got
the better of the defensive
pressure, forcing 11 turnovers
by the Lady Tigers in the first
period. Most of these
turnovers translated into
points for Vacaville.
However, the Cats managed
to keep pace, starting the sec-
ond act behind by just one, 10
to 11. The Tigers kept having
trouble holding onto the ball
in the second quarter, as the

Falcons continued to swoop in
on errant passes. After 16
first-half turnovers, the Pur-
ple and White trailed by nine
at the break: 18 to 27. The La-
dy Tigers came out strong in
the third stanza. In spite of re-
peated turnovers, Portola
fought back by turning up
their own defense, and domi-
nating both the defensive and
offensive boards.
By midway through the
third period, the Cats had
pulled to within two buckets.
However, it didn't last tong, as
the Falcons continued to
make short runs, capitalizing
on purloined passes and an oc-
casional uncontested 3-point-
er, to finish the quarter with a
comfortable lead of 29 to 39.
The Tigers were not ready
to concede, however, and
pulled to within three points
several times during the
fourth quarter. Finally, with
about 1-12 minutes left to
play, the Cats were forced to
start fouling in a last-ditch at-
tempt to catch the Falcons.
However, Vacaville's free-
throw shooting was almost
perfect as the game clock inex-
orably ticked down.
The Lady Tigers kept at-
tacking up to the last second,
as senior guard Bailey Holt
drained a 3-point rainmaker
to cut the deficit to seven
points at the final horn. The
Portola girls closed the book
on their last game of a long
and successful season on the
short end of a 50 to 57 score.
Leading the scoring for
the Lady Cats was sophomore
Emma Briggs tallying 18,
senior Anna Roach netting
nine, senior Ellie Kibble
notching six and junior
Lindsay Compton contribut-
ing five. In the battle of the
boards Briggs snatched 12 re-
bounds, while senior Lucy
Wilbanks wrestled away 10,
Roach gathered in eight and

Compton collected six each.
"We had a great run this
year," said coach Matt Comp-
ton. "This is a special group of
girls, and I have really en-
joyed working with them."
The Tigers are losing five
seniors to graduation this
year. These girls have been
playing together since the
fifth grade, and have really
bonded on the court. Captain
Bailey Holt made plays at the
point for the Tigers all season.
Holt was the Lady Cats' sec-
ond most effective thief, pick-
ing opponents' pockets 80
times in 30 games. She also
finished No. 5 in scoring, net-
ting 130 total points.
Co-captain Lucy Wilbanks
led an extremely strong bench
for Portola. Wilbanks was
tough and effective under the
glass, leading the team with
171 rebounds, and playing all
30 games. Offensively,
Wilbanks contributed the
fourth highegt point total for
the Tigers, racking up 142 to-
tal counters.
Center Anna Roach battled
injuries early in the season,
but fought back to finish
strong as No. 2 in scoring with
186 total points. Roach fin-
ished with the second highest
team rebounding total, frus-
trating opponents by grabbing
163 boards.
Ellie Kibble anchored the
Tigers' wing, and finished the
season with 113 points. Kibble
also nabbed 50 steals from op-
ponents and dished out 25 as-
sists to her teammates.
Center Camry Housel came
off the bench making many
crucial contributions to the
team over the course of the
season. Housel made numer-
ous key plays, both offensive
and defensive. Against Los
Molinos at home the Tigers
were struggling until Housel
sank four of six from the field,
grabbed five rebounds and
three steals to turn things
around.
"Next year we have a lot of
good talent returning," said
Compton. "I am sure we will
be very competitive, but we'll
sure miss these senior girls!"
