Toppenish over the summer, is a quick, high-scoring guard, and the Wolves have benefitted from the return of guard Tarryn Hart, who missed the first portion of the season with a knee injury. Jade Garza provides midrange shooting, and starting forward Chehalis Aleck, at 5-6, is one of Wapato’s top rebounders. “It looks like they play a lot of full-court defenses, and a lot of man,” Bearcat coach Tom Kelly said. “So we’ve got our work cut out for us. Break their pressure, and I’ll think we’ll be fine.” If the Bearcats win, they’ll play at 9 p.m. Thursday night in the Yakima Valley SunDome. With a loss, they’ll play at 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday against ei- ther Port Angeles or East Valley (Spokane).

Nascar Local Bowling Standings NASCAR Hopes to Revitalize Stagnant Base With New Points Format By George Diaz Orlando Sentinel DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — The 2017 NASCAR season is one of Hope and Change. Please don’t misconstrue this as a political reference. It is strict- ly business: Important business for everyone in NASCAR from suits in the office buildings to firesuits inside the cars. NASCAR dramatically al- tered its playoff format in the off- season, and the big reveal comes this week at Daytona Interna- tional Speedway. It’s the Big One, in so many ways. Biggest race. Biggest wrecks. And a big-time move to re-en- gage fans — old ones left behind, with a sprinkle of new-bloods. “I don’t know what all is going to happen,” said Darrell Waltrip, a three-time Cup season cham- pion and a now FOX Sports ana- lyst, encapsulating the murky circumstances. To review, industry leaders — including a handful of drivers — came together during the off- season and blew up the Chase format. Races in the Monster En- ergy NASCAR Cup Series, Xfin- ity Series and Camping World Truck Series now will consist of three stages, with championship implications in each stage. The new format also will award an additional playoff point to each winner in the first two stages, and the race winner will receive five additional post- season points. So get those calcu- lators out for the Daytona 500 (as well as the qualifying races). The revamped system could lead to a huge weekend for a driver with a dominant car. For the first time, the Duels this Thursday night will have an added value of 10 regular-season points for a win. Sunday’s Day- tona 500 brings the potential to earn a total of 70 regular-season- standings points for the week- end: A Duels victory (10) and a 500 triumph (40) along with cap- turing both segments (10 each). Other races on the schedule will offer a maximum of 60 points. Points will continue to be accrued through the first 26 races, and will carry over for the 16 drivers who qualify for the playoffs that consist of the last 10 races of the season. The op- erative number remains at four in a winner-take-all-format in Homestead in November. “It will be fun to watch the teams get their feet wet with this new format and figure out how to capitalize on it before the next guy does,” Waltrip said. “Great minds are breaking it down right now, as they do anytime some- thing new is introduced. “What exactly that will look like, I doubt anyone knows yet. The new format will take a little adjustment for all of us — driv- ers, media and the crews.” Waltrip and others in the loop say it will take about five races into the season before ev- eryone — from the drivers to the fans — sort it out and decide whether the new format is the Next Great Thing or the next New Coke. NASCAR needs a pick-me- up, and maybe a hopeful meta- phor is the new Cup Series title sponsor, Monster Energy. There’s been a lot of noise from traditional fans over the last few weeks since the changes were announced. That’s a key demographic. NASCAR can’t af- ford to keep losing fans, whether it’s live or in front of the TV set. There’s also been a smatter- ing of complaints from fans that the outfits worn by the Monster Energy girls at Daytona are too sexy and revealing. That won’t make or break NASCAR. But it’s a bit of col- lateral damage for a sport that needs to get its groove back, not just on the track. “You may not like it because you want don’t want it to be dif- ferent than when you watched David Pearson and Richard Petty battle,” said former veteran driv- er Jeff Burton, now a racing ana- lyst with NBC Sports. “If that’s what you want, anything other than that you’re not going to like. I’m not saying that’s wrong. but would it have been more fun to watch Richard Petty and David Pearson battle with this?” • Sports 5 SPORTS The Chronicle, Centralia/Chehalis, Wash., Thursday, Feb. 23, 2017

Both teams scored 12 points in the third quarter to set up a battle in the last frame. Centralia had a few chances to close the gap in the fourth, but Crews and the rest of the Red Devils were able to keep the lead. Even though the West Division isn’t within reach for the Blazers, Sells expects his team to keep pushing with the playoffs on the ho- rizon. “Pride steps in.

SWW FAIRGROUNDS: Deadline for Vendors is April 1, Event to be Held on April 29 By Justyna Tomtas [email protected] A new event in Lewis County directed at pulling resources together for parents or those expecting new children will be held April 29 at the Southwest Washington Fairgrounds. Organizers of the first Pa- cific Northwest Baby Fair are currently looking for vendors, presenters and event sponsors. Rachel Lomedico, with Compass Birthing Services in Centralia, said the event will be a good opportunity for pregnant women or new families to come to one place to get information on the various resources avail- able locally. “There’s not a lot of pool- ing other resources for our area right now and so part of the rea- son we decided to put on this fair is to bring all those resources to one area for our families and to kind of boost the birth culture for our area as well,” Lomedico said. “We have a really large booming growing population in terms of how many babies are being born, and the resources haven’t quite caught up with Rachel Lomedico, right, holds a practice infant while Curtis Foote looks on at Compass Birthing Services in Centralia last year. Both Foote and Lomedico are trained that so we are trying to encour- doulas and operate the birthing center along with North Star Baby Boutique, which is in the front of the building they rent at the Fairway Shopping Center. age more resources in our area.” The Pacific Northwest Baby Fair is primarily focused on Lew- is County, but will also highlight services in neighboring Thur- ston and Cowlitz counties. There will be midwives, pediatric offices and various vendors that sell items tailored toward pregnant women and young children. So far, about 20 vendors have signed up for the event, but the goal is to have 40 or more, Lom- edico said.
