Taft High junior Eli DeMello homered twice, doubled and closed out the game in relief Tuesday to help improve the Tigers to 13-10 overall and 9-4 in league play with a 7-2 baseball victory at Catlin Gabel.
“We struggled tonight to produce and push runs across the plate,” Taft coach Matt Hilgers said. “At one point, we had eight hits and only three runs to show for it. We need to hit with runners on and get them across the plate.”
DeMello, who went 1 2/3s hitless innings to finish out the game on the hill for Taft, went 4-for-4 with three runs and two RBIs as the Tigers scored in the first inning and led the rest of the way behind senior starter Bleiz Kimbrough and junior reliever Trenton Fisher.
“We made a few base-running mistakes again that costs us runs. Fielding and pitching we were solid, which kept us in the game and allowed for us to hold on for the victory.”
Sophomore Fco Ramos and freshman Kaden Hindman had two hits each for the Tigers.
Taft, ranked ninth, concludes it regular season Friday with a 3 p.m. Special District 2 doubleheader at Clatskanie.
“We have two games Friday after a bus trip and need to show up ready to play a full day of baseball,” Hilgers said.

Maintaining “it takes the first shovel of dirt or the first brick to begin a new structure,” Taft High began building a foundation for the future of its boys golf program Tuesday with a fifth-place finish at the Class 3A Special District 2 Golf Championships in Corvallis.
Senior William Brooks led the way for the Tigers at Trysting Tree Golf Club with a 36-hole total of 95-104–199.
La Pine won the boys team title.
Results from the Taft girls’ participation in the SD2 tournament finals at Santiam Golf Club in Aumsville were not reported.
The following recap was provided by Taft coach Andy Morgan
Day 1 (Monday, May 6)
The first group got off the first tee, slightly behind the scheduled time of 12:16, under sunny skies on the home course of the Oregon State Beavers.
Trysting Tree Golf Club is a frequent host of high school golf tournaments, likely due to the hospitality andconvenient location — often at the center of the many Special Districts in all levels.
Temperatures reached 83, and the Tigers were noticeably gassed by the end of day one. Sunburned and tired, Taft headed home to sleep before a second trip to the Valley at 9 a.m. Tuesday.
Junior Jonathan Freilinger was the highlight of the first day, finishing with a personal-best 126. With a 64 on the front and an improved 62 on the back, Jonathan was playing his best, with room yet to improve.
Playing to his new average, Ethan Unruh, was also improved on the second-nine — finishing 53-48 and a total score of 101. Ethan plays steady and has a very calm demeanor for a freshman in his first year of competitive golf. The coaching staff and fellow Tigers are paying close attention to Unruh’s game, as he is separating himself as one of the better golfers in the future of Special District 2.
Teammate and ninth-grade classmate Zac Will played to his average as well — completing the first day with scores of 50-50, totaling 100. Zac played well, but not to his expectations, as he looks towards low 90s. He will get there this year, but needs some polish — often near the greens. Zac’s work ethic is so strong, Taft golf will benefit from his leadership in the years to come.
The third freshman on the team, Eston Whisler, is proving to have an incredibly high ceiling. Whisler strikes the ball so well, his somewhat disappointing first day score of 56-63-119 showed moments of hope and better consistency. Truly a fan of the game, Whisler will challenge for the top spot on this young Tiger team.
Senior leader William Brooks has been a steady leader on and off the golf course. The younger Tigers have looked to William for support, knowledge and poise. William has been improving his game all year, though has yet to please himself with a final score.
After one day at a District championship, in which Brooks must score well to keep his State championship berth alive, a 47-48-95 was a disappointing score for Brooks. He showed the young Tigers to be gracious and fierce, while heading home to devise a game plan for the next day of competition. His calm focus and positive outlook were just what the team needed to see. A team goal of 20 strokes improvement was decided unanimously by the team before departing for home.
Day 2 (Tuesday, May 7)
Brooks, Will and Unruh, the three leading scorers for Taft, were collectively seven strokes off of the previous day’s pace, and 17 behind the team goal. Luckily, the scores turned in on the front side by Whisler and Freilinger were an improvement of eight, leaving Taft with 19 to make up by the end of the round.
Freilinger was on pace for another personal best after a 61 on the first nine. Brooks had a disappointing 50, to begin what could be his final round of high school golf.
Unruh, Whisler and Will were all clustered around their improved season averages as they made the turn to the back-nine. The sun was out again today, though the brisk wind is keeping temperatures down in the 70s today — likely hustling the tournament players at a quicker pace than yesterday.
As Special District 2 reverses the starting order on the second day of the District championships, Taft’s No. 5 golfer went out first today. Freilinger will be the first one with a complete scorecard today. Following up his front-nine score of 61 with a 78 to card a second day total of 139 and a tournament total of 265.
Next in on Championship Tuesday was freshman Eston Whisler, who carded a 51 out, followed by a back-nine 54, giving him a second-day total of 105, and a tournament total of 224.
The third group in featured freshman Ethan Unruh with day-two scores of 55-59–114, and a tournament total of 215.
After day-one scores of 50-50–100, freshman Zac Will finished his round Tuesday with 52 out, 55 in for a 107 and tournament total of 207.
Finishing the championship tournament in the final group — a position respected by all of the competitors in SD2, senior William Brooks completed the day with 50-54–104, giving him a tournament total of 199.
The Tigers managed to scratch out a fifth-place finish in the first year of their rebuilding effort. It takes the first shovel of dirt or the first brick to begin a new structure. LaPine is in their finishing stages, as they posted a league best 681, in the two-day championship.
The 845 posted by the Taft squad is from a different galaxy all together, but this young team is prepared to put in the work. They know the boys of La Pine will all return next season. The expectation is improvement from both teams. These young Tigers know how much work it will be, and that the expectation is to win for the next three seasons, hopefully, with a win at the state level.
While Taft failed to earn a spot at the State Tournament, and knowing Brooks is finished at Taft, it is important to go back and discuss the valuable roll of leadership displayed by Brooks. With a team consisting of three freshmen, with no real experience with Championship Golf, the value of an experienced leader was paramount for the young Tiger squad.
Brooks was both a leader on the course and a breath of fresh air, in and around the clubhouse. Taft Tigers Championship Golf is alive and well, thanks in large part to the dedication of Brooks.
This is a team that will make a run at a championship — hopefully adding to the tradition of the feared Taft Tiger Golfers of the past. You can begin to hear a quiet hush — as known on or around golf courses — talk of a promising future.
There is no one yet yelling “Tigers” from the tee-box or greens, but it is coming. The future of Taft Tiger Championship Golf was discovered this year, and thanks to William Brooks, the returning four players of the 2019 season will likely be heard around the halls for many years to come.
Explore Lincoln City invites Lincoln City’s travel and tourism community to take part in National Travel and Tourism Week, May 5 -11.
The 36th annual National Travel and Tourism Week (NTTW), sponsored by the U.S. Travel Association, unites communities across the country to celebrate how travel matters to American jobs, economic growth and personal well-being.
The theme of this year’s NTTW, “Travel Matters,” highlights the innumerable ways in which travel makes up the fabric of Lincoln City’s culture and economy. Each day of NTTW will celebrate a different facet of travel; the economy, new experiences, jobs, infrastructure, health benefits, hometown pride and how travel strengthens families.
“Just look at the numbers. Travel supports one in nine American jobs, including over 6,400 jobs right here in Lincoln County,” Explore Lincoln City Director Ed Dreistadt said. “This week, we are celebrating travel’s powerful impact on our community. We’re calling on everyone – from elected officials to all of our local friends and neighbors – to join us in saluting this important industry, and to support travel at the local, state and national level.”
“In every pocket of America – from the largest cities to the smallest towns – travel matters,” said U.S. Travel Association President and CEO Roger Dow. “I, like so many others, got my start in the travel industry, and it shaped my life in ways I could never imagined. This National Travel and Tourism Week, we’re celebrating how travel powers our economies, strengthens our communities, and changes our lives.”
From the Lincoln City Glass Center to Chinook Winds Casino Resort, travel employs a diverse workforce all over Lincoln County:
— 6,400 jobs are supported by travel and tourism in Lincoln County.
— Travel and tourism generate $614 million in economic impact for Lincoln County.
These local figures are an important part of travel’s economic importance nationwide.
— Travel is a $2.5 trillion industry in the U.S., and $12.3 billion in Oregon.
— These visitors support 15.7 million American jobs – roughly 8.9 million direct travel jobs, and 6.8 million indirect jobs.
— Travel-related spending generated $171 billion in federal, state and local tax revenue in 2018.
“I have seen firsthand how much travel matters to our community,” Explore Lincoln City Public Relations Coordinator Eric Johnson said. “In the past four years, our transient room tax collections have increased by an average of 8.6 percent.
“Not only that, I see signs of growth all over town. The expansion of the Starfish Manor Hotel, renovations to the Coho Oceanfront Lodge, the new marquee at the Bijou Theatre and many other projects. I’m proud of what Lincoln City has accomplished and am eager to welcome our guests here to show them why we love Lincoln City so much.”

Taft High 7-12 was one of 16 high schools honored recently at a banquet in Portland by the Oregon Association of Student Councils (OASC) for outstanding achievement by its governing body.
Taft received Gold Status, the highest honor, for the second year in a row.
The OASC-sponsored award sets high standards for councils and recognizes their accomplishment when standards are met, OASC Executive Director Sara Nilles said.
Councils begin by setting goals in the fall and work hard all year to achieve them. In order to receive the award, councils must be involved in community service, activities that promote school spirit and pride, sportsmanship, unity, recognition, and involvement in leadership training.
“Student leaders have the opportunity to make a tremendous impact on the culture and climate of their school and the academic success of their student body by the activities they sponsor,” said Nilles, whose association serves middle and high school student councils around the state as a department within COSA (Confederations of Oregon School Administrators).
The schools were recognized at the annual Spring Conference banquet, held April 28 at the Red Lion Hotel on the River in Portland. High Schools will be recognized again at the annual Fall Conference in November in Seaside.
“Receiving Gold Status for the second year in a row is quite exciting,” Taft junior Fatima Lupercio-Rubio said. “We always knew we could get some sort of recognition when we attended conferences and were honestly surprised we got Gold Status the first year we had applied.
“I want to give a huge shoutout to Veronica Jin, our Historian, and Autumn Ellis, our ASB President, for putting together our application this year. I hope future ASB classes can continue to receive this recognition through OASC since the application itself offers plenty of ideas to better the lives of our Tigers.
“We wear the blue ribbons on our names tags at OASC proudly as they serve as reminder of all the things we as an ASB class have done to serve our peers, school, and community.”
Karissa Snelling, ESL/Leadership Teacher for Taft 7-12, said: “The OASC Leadership Recognition Program gives student councils not only the means to plan and evaluate events and participation throughout the year, but it also gives councils the ability to challenge themselves by offering up ways to expand upon the programs that are already a part of school culture. Next year, Taft ASB would like to push even further into the realms of spirit and service.”
Saying, “as a team, we feel we are 25 strokes above our potential,” Taft High stands in fifth place entering today’s final round of the Class 3A Special District 2 Boys Golf Championships in Corvallis.
Playing late on an 83-degree day Monday in slow, crowded conditions at Trysting Tree Golf Club, the Tigers trail La Pjne (338). Blanchet Catholic (394), Regis (402) and East Linn Christian Academy (405) at 415 through the first round.
Senior William Brooks shot 95 to lead the Tigers in opening-round play, while freshmen Zac Wil shot 100, Ethan Unruh 101, Eston Whistler 119 and junior Jonathon Freilinger 126.
“We expect a long day again today,” Taft coach Andy Morgan said. “We will care for hydration and sunburn limbs and cheeks, as we concentrate on improving our performance during the second day of play.”
La Pine Tommy Rhode shot 73 for a five-stroke lead over teammate Bryce Tirrill.
“Our hope is to take advantage of our opponents, especially if they open any doors for our team to jump ahead,” Morgan said. “Our biggest hope is for William to turn in a season best, and work his way into the State championships.”
Taft’s first-round girls scores from the Class 3A SD 2 Championships at Santiam Golf course in Aumsville were not reported.
It will be “Anchors Aweigh” in more ways than one this week when Taft High senior David Jin hurdles his way into the Class 3A Special District 2 Track and Field Championships in Dayton.
The 17-year-old student leader, who has won eight of the 12 hurdling events he has competed in this season, will soon be off to the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis to study mechanical engineering.
Taft’s starting quarterback and a decorated wrestler, Jin’s stellar high school sports career will likely cross the finish line May 17-18 when the Tigers compete in the Class 3A State Track and Field Championships at Mt. Hood Community College in Gresham.
“As a coach and school counselor for about 15 years, David is one of the most well-rounded individuals I have encountered,” Taft wrestling coach Robb Ellis said.
Jin is expected to compete in the 110- and 300-meter hurdles Tuesday and Wednesday in Dayton, and possibly even “anchor” a relay for Taft.
Jin’s future as a Naval Academy recruit is testament to the boundless academic and athletic achievements he has shared with his classmates in five years at Taft High 7-12 since his family moved to Lincoln City from Pasadena, Calif., five years ago.
“He is very respectful to his teachers and coaches, a great athlete, a leader, in the top 1 percent for academics and also has musical talents,” Ellis said. “He has a strong faith and a lot of integrity. He is hard on himself sometimes because he always wants to do the best job he possibly can.”
Born June 28, 2001, Jin is the son of Young-hoon Jin, senior pastor at the Lincoln City Korean Church, and Jae-heea, a homemaker and mother to Veronica, a 16-year-old Taft sophomore, and Ariel, a fifth-grader at Taft Elementary.
Jin’s introduction to high school sports upon his arrival in Lincoln City in the summer of 2014 has forged friendships he cultivates to this day. That includes his longtime relationship with former Taft multisport star Pete Lahti, among the school’s most highly regarded scholar athletes.
“The first thing that impressed me with David is how coachable he is,” said Lahti, who played football the past four seasons at Lewis & Clark College in Portland, where he will graduate this week with a degree in biology in pursuit of a career as a dentist. “I got to work with him at quarterback when he was first stepping up to play varsity. Anything I told him, he took it seriously, and I saw it being put to work every time he stepped on the field. He wants to learn as much as possible, and that is crucial for a developing player.”
Lahti was taken aback by Jin’s presence as a person as well as his promise as a player. Jin’s unwavering desire to excel paralleled his talent, his predecessor said.
“His drive impressed me. I could tell how bad he wanted to succeed,” Lahti said. “He didn’t just wish that he was talented; he went out and worked for it. It was a lot of fun to watch him grow as a player and mature as a person. He wanted to work out both on the field and in the weight room, and those things helped immensely.”
Lahti said it was Jin’s inquisitiveness that struck him most, however.
“He impressed me with questions that didn’t pertain to the physical side of sports,” he said. “He realized how important the mental aspects of sports are, too, which I think is rare in a high school athlete.
“He wanted to pick my brain to see how I approached things when I played quarterback in high school and how I approach things now, and he applied them to himself. He put all of these things into being a leader, and it showed.”
On the track, Jin has won four of the six 110-meter hurdle races and four of the six 300-meter hurdle events he has competed in this spring. He has also run a 11.97 100-meter dash.
He placed sixth in the Meet of Champions, which features only winners of this year’s races. He posted a personal-best 15.96 in the 110-meter hurdles at last week’s Toledo Twilight, and a 44.23 PR in a Special District 2 meet April 18 at Taft.
While he’s also anchored Taft’s 4×100 relay team, football remains Jin’s first love.
“I love football because of the unbreakable bond that can’t be formed anywhere else among a group of high school boys,” he said. “It also brings with it a complex layer of strategy and preparation, along with the high physical demand.
“I hold the quarterback position above all the other positions that I’ve played because it has been the most demanding, yet rewarding, experience. I need to be physically, mentally and emotionally prepared to lead an entire offense for four quarters, and — no matter what — I need to be the one who keeps their head up. Ranging from quick decision-making skills, to maintaining composure under pressure, to even forming a unique connection with each player on the team, many skills are required of the quarterback.”
Jin reminisces about his first interception in a varsity game against Willamina his freshman season; beating Sutherlin on a toe-tap reception by fellow senior Tyee Fisher in the corner of the end zone; his time at Camp Rilea summer camp; hurdling a player and scoring three touchdowns on Senior Night against defending State champion Rainier; and his time learning from Lahti.
“My favorite moment watching David in athletics came watching him wrestle in the Taft gym,” said Lahti of Jin, who represented Taft at State in the 170-pound class despite weighing in at 162. “I wished him luck and he proceeded to pick up a kid, throw him over his head, slam him to the mat, and pin him in a matter of about 30 seconds. He came and greeted me with a big smile afterwards. That was awesome.”
Also a swimmer and State alternate in a relay, Jin is an accomplished guitar player and singer whose favorite subjects are math and science. He enjoys video games, working out with friends, nature hikes, beach walks, boogie boarding, kayaking, swimming in the lake and “eating constantly.”
Most of all, though, he cherishes his relationship with Christ.
“My main goal in life is to share the love of God with as many people as possible and become a worship leader,” he said.
Jin credits many people as being influential in his life, particularly his mom and dad.
“My parents have both acted as a huge encouragement during my athletic and academic endeavors, and they never doubted or rejected my hopes,” he said. “They found ways to devote their time and energy to see how I could be well-fed, well-rested and well-prepared for any job or opportunity that stood in front of me.”
Athletically, Jin cites Taft football coach Jake Tolan for helping him keep his abundant accomplishments in perspective.
“Mr. Tolan is a needed guidance in my life, as he knew just how to get in my head and make me a better man,” Jin said. “He was a great football coach with amazing smarts, but he focused even more on building my character.”
Then, there are those outside of sports and family who have had a lasting impact.
“My friend, Diego Vallejo, helped me grow as a man of Christ and made himself vulnerable and open to me, creating a bond with me that motivated me to reach out to others about God,” Jin said.
Others have watched admirably as Jin has grown from adolescence into adulthood.
“He has definitely matured over the years since I first met him in our Bible club,” said Pastor Phil Magnan, who has known Jin for about four years. “He is genuine and humble, and even has a good sense of humor. I think one of his most endearing qualities is that he shows respect and genuine concern for anyone he meets.
“Over the years, he has also shown how he has an inquisitive mind about virtually everything. He isn’t afraid to ask questions and attempt to grasp the greater meaning of the things he is interested in.
“It is also somewhat fascinating how he attracts the interest of other students so easily. They seek him out. This has only reinforced my notion that he must be a very approachable person and shows respect for anyone he meets. He never brags, nor sees himself as superior to others, but rather lifts those he meets.”
Magnan points to Jin as the type of young adult who will serve America and its Armed Forces well.
“He is very committed to doing what is right and loving towards those he meets,” he said. “I appreciate such a dedicated individual like David, as his example and demeanor gives me hope for the next generation.”
For his part, Jin, who will serve five years in the Navy after graduating from Annapolis, salutes the community he has represented.
“I’m so glad I had the chance to live in and experience Lincoln City,” he said. “It is so beautiful and jaw-dropping, and it gave me the opportunity to play sports and thrive, which would not have happened in California. God is to thank for everything good that has happened to me.”
Eight election signs for North Lincoln Fire & Rescue Board of Director hopefuls George Blacketer, Roy Cabal and Dan Stubdgen have been allegedly stolen or vandalized over the last few days.
“I’m just appalled by everything that has happened over the past few weeks, with the Facebook post by interim Chief Robert Dahlman, then the incident with the ladder truck, and now this lawsuit,” Blacketer said. “I’m really concerned about the direction this District is going right now.”
Six signs have been allegedly taken from various locations throughout Lincoln City and Otis since Thursday and two were defaced today with brown spray paint in broad daylight, the men running for the board seats said. The candidates said they paid $358 for 50 signs.
“To top it off, we have our signs stolen and even vandalized?” Blacketer asked. “We have done nothing more than run for an elected position. We have not slandered anybody, insulted anybody, nor have we stooped so low as to dig into anybody’s past in any way. We are trying to run a clean and professional campaign.”
The alleged vandalism occurred on East Devils Lake Road and S. Hill Road in Otis, near Green Acres Beach & Trail Rides. Signs were reported missing from Highway 101 & East Devils Lake Road near Faith Baptist Church, near Coastal Appliance and Mattress Experts (Sears), North Lincoln Fire Rescue Station 1300, and Highway 18 & Old Scenic Highway 101.

Five Taft batters collected three hits Monday, including underclassmen Kyla Knott. who drove in four runs, and Claira Tolan and Olivia Coulter, who scored three times each in a 17-5 nonleague softball victory at Blanchet Catholic.
“I was a little bit nervous when we got there today because we had some girls fighting off illness and it was a very warm day in the Valley,” Taft coach Sandy Stuart said. “Ultimately, though, our offense was strong and we really came to play at the plate.”
Fourth-ranked Taft improved to 16-6 behind junior starter Emma Coulter by scoring five runs in the second inning, four in the third and three in the fourth for a 12-4 lead.
Emma Coulter and junior battery mate Hailee Danneker also had three hits for Taft in the win over eighth-rated PacWest member Blanchet Catholic, which fell to 10-9.
“Emma and Hailee worked hard as the battery in the heat and kept their hitters from doing too much damage,” Stuart said.
Senior Caitlyn Rundstrom, freshman Addie Gates and sophomores Kayla Lininger and Knott all scored twice for Taft, while freshman Chloe Peterson drove in three runs and Emma Coulter and Lininger two each for the Tigers.
“We executed some key offensive moments to get runners in scoring position and we were aggressive on the bases,” said Stuart, whose team collected 21 hits, including nine for extra bases. “We took lots of advantages to score extra runs today.”
The Tigers game against PacWest member Scio on Wednesday was canceled Monday. Senior Night activities to honor Rundstrom, Taft’s lone senior, will be rescheduled, Stuart said.
Taft closes out its regular season with a 3 p.m. doubleheader Friday at No. 1-ranked and undefeated league counterpart Clatskanie.
“Now we have a few days to rest and get healthy,” Stuart said.
