Ambush of Tigers

Episode Highlights: 

This week we rolled into Taft 7-12 and ambushed an “Ambush of Tigers”. Ever hear that term? Well according to the great WWW, that’s actually what a group of adult tigers is called, that or a “Streak of Tigers” when its a tigress mother and her cubs. 

We digress…anyways, two 1970 alumni, the Principal, and the Athletic Director were all caught in the act of peacefully watching some hoops before we pulled them into a wide-ranging conversation about Tiger Pride, athletics, and the community that keeps it all moving. Unexpected, unscripted, and very Taft.

• Principal, Nick Lupo
• Athletic Director, Zach Lillebo
• Class of 1970 Alumni, Larry and Cindy Garrison

RR 0:45

And it is interesting. We'll have an opportunity to talk currently and historically.

Son Paul 0:51

Yeah, we've got some uh alumni of the uh great uh Taft organization there that are gonna join us on uh on on the sidelines in the sidelines.

RR 1:01

Yeah, yeah. I look forward to that. It'll be a nice piece, it's an interest interesting piece, and there are names that you know and trust. Now, also I'd like to draw everybody's attention to the fact uh frequently we don't talk enough about all of the activities and events that we actually talk about at the end of the program. So stay with us throughout the whole program until you hear Janice the Astelambago. Is that the term? I guess so. That's close. Okay, close enough for a town this size and a program this large.

All your favorite beverages, a full deli, meat produce, and of course, groceries. Principal at Taps High School, Nick Lupal. Beautiful night for things outside, but you're playing basketball inside with all of your students.

Nick Lupo 2:33

Yeah, we got a big game against Amity tonight, girls basketball and boys' basketball. Martin Luther King Jr. Day, excited to be here. It's gonna be good.

RR 2:41

This is a wonderful setting, what you have uh up here. But uh you have changed some things as well to make it even even better for the students and the visitor.

Nick Lupo 2:52

Yeah, we done a lot a couple different things. So one of the things is our uh intro to our our kids. And so we're doing a little bit of a uh spotlight on them when we intro them for the game. That's kind of a fun little addition that we've had this year. The old Bulls uh intro song is what we kind of bring them in into, so it's kind of fun. We also have the band obviously comes for the majority of our events too to support us and and play music. So one of the things that we're doing to kind of support our our athletes as they kind of go into the the game.

RR 3:19

The facility itself has changed a little bit, uh restrooms uh the uh food concession.

Nick Lupo 3:26

Oh yeah, I mean the the Bond has been a great tool for us, and so a year ago we had male and female uh bathrooms on both sides, and uh not really a place to have any ticket booth uh or concession stand, and so the biggest thing that we uh saw was a need for that, and so with that we actually installed uh seven different single stall use bathrooms for anybody to use in addition to our concession stand, our ticket booth, and then uh one of the cooler features that we got from a local high school that we play against is a window out to the out to the basketball court, too. So again, another way to support our our fans and our and our students and our all our people out there, so it's it's cool.

RR 4:05

Let's talk a little bit about the educational run that happens here at Taft High School. You have a good connection with the Oregon Coast Community College, and a lot of students wind up with uh a two-year degree coming out of high school.

Nick Lupo 4:19

Yeah, we actually have been consistently getting one or two graduates who get out of here with an AA degree. And uh most notably we've uh given them kids who come out with just credits. If they earn uh 12 or more credits through Oregon Coast Community College, they get to wear a cord during graduation. And I can't give you the exact number, but the last two years, I think we had about 25 students a couple years ago, and I think we're up to like 35, 40 kids who are leaving Taft with a high school diploma, plus at least 12 credits from Oregon Coast Community College. So great partnership that we have with them and be able to get them them credits in both high school realm and uh the college realm.

RR 4:59

When they go to college.

Nick Lupo 5:02

Yeah, it does. So a lot of kids are can go and apply for the Oregon Promise, do all those kind of things. Some kids don't have those exact funds to do that, but we pay for tuition for one course each term, so three a year uh after their junior year. So they'll get a total of six through their high school careers. We'll pay for at least six six of those classes, one per term, three per year, so six total for their junior and senior years.

RR 5:22

Population up here at the high school, uh, at this point in time, we've got uh how many students?

Nick Lupo 5:28

So about four hundred and fifty high schoolers, and uh we've sent around two hundred and fifty middle schoolers. So it puts us right above that, you know, that seven hundred level for the total school. And then we also run our future bound program, uh Future Bound North, which is just for middle schoolers, uh which has uh um ten students, and then we have another online program, Compass Online, uh, which houses another twenty, twenty-five students.

RR 5:51

Now is this a tie back to the uh uh program that we used to have above City Hall, or or what's the the beginning of this?

Nick Lupo 6:00

Yeah, those so both those uh exterior programs are for middle schoolers. And so um it's one of those things like how do we get kids to transition from sixth grade to seventh and eighth, and then kids from seventh and eighth to transition to high school. You know, those are the biggest years, you know, puberty years, uh transition years, all those things take place. Kids develop at different rates and you know, uh reading levels, uh maturity levels, and so to have those little different programs does help many of our kids kind of just have accessibility to the curriculum, accessibility to their peers, you know, accessibility to even their teachers, because you know you go to seven peers a day, you don't really get the relationship you usually get when you get to a when you're in sixth grade and you see one teacher a day. So it's just a big challenge.

RR 6:38

When you look around your your uh facility, the school, whatever would happen to be, any groundworks that you or items that you see that Nick sees at this point in time would like to change, add to, uh subtract from.

Nick Lupo 6:51

Add to? Well, I don't know if you've gotten a chance to go look out there where our CTE programs of what they've done with the disc golf course out there. It's kind of cool. They started off really small, just trying to put one disc golf course out, one little basket out there, but now we got a little six-hole and trying to make seven, eight, nine. So um, I think adding to the school is just keeping up on uh on making sure we're doing things outside the grounds, also inside. And the other notable thing that we're working on is we're revamping our performance area. So if you've been out there, new curtains, new floors, new lights, um, new sound system, all those things are taking place in uh out in the commons area, you know, our cafetorium. And so really cool thing that you see out there that that's some bond work that we're also working on for there.

RR 7:33

Academic-wise, uh TAPS High School is doing what at this point in time? What kind of grade do you give yourself?

Nick Lupo 7:39

So I always kind of hang my hat on our grad rate, and so we've been doing really well with uh with sticking up to about a 90% graduation rate the last few years that I've been here. And so that's kind of where I can hang my hat on. Where I always always ding myself is uh is the reading levels the where we want them to be. You know, is the reading and math where we want them to be? So I want to improve those. Those are the things I want to keep improving. Better math, better reading scores. And also the second piece of that is really getting kids to graduate from high school, and I think we're doing a good job with that and give them avenues. But reading and math scores, we've got to still work on that.

RR 8:11

I think if you go back and look at the uh statewide uh numbers, you're uh even better off than what you said you are.

Nick Lupo 8:20

We do okay, but again, it's never where you want to be. You want kids leaving leaving with you know better readers, uh, you know, contribute to society, those kind of things. We want them we want them to be you know functional, able to go be our next voters. Those are the things we want, right? Go Taft. Go Taft. Go tigers.

RR 9:51

That would be me. That would be you. I I guess we we've never had the opportunity to say congratulations on that. That's a pretty good honor for you and for this school.

Zach Lillebo 10:00

Absolutely. And it comes from a team, you know. Uh we've got great administrators here, we've got coaches here, and so it's it's not just athletic director of the year. It's it's really uh allows our school to shine because it takes a team to run athletic programs, it takes a team to educate, and uh that's what I firmly believe we are here at Taft.

RR 10:16

Now you've had a pretty good fall season. Now we're into the winter season, and the the winter's looking pretty good too.

Zach Lillebo 10:22

Yeah, we're uh we've got great numbers out for uh boys' basketball, girls' basketball's on on a great streak right now. They started playing a couple games over in uh Pendleton and Le Grand, trying to get some of those uh 4A stronger schools just to get those uh preseason games in, and then uh wrestling's got some good numbers, swim is back up to good numbers, and uh we have our uh cheer slash dance team uh this year. So during halftime you'll see them perform a little bit of a dance aspect to uh their uh program as well.

RR 10:50

You have a number of students uh participated in after school athletics.

Zach Lillebo 10:55

Yeah, we're upwards of about 160, 150 right now for uh all five uh high school programs, and then right now a middle school girls' basketball just ended prior to the winter break. I think they were right around 24 uh middle school girls' basketball players, and then uh now we're into boys' uh middle school season where we're at like 25, 26 kids. So we have almost 200 kids in our building participating in sports within our programs we host. Uh, we've also got a couple travel ball, we've had five travel ball teams uh started playing before winter break, and that's third, fourth grade, fifth grade, seventh, and eighth grade, sixth grade. So uh that's pretty exciting to our uh youth league, Lincoln City Youth League, who usually specializes over just baseball and softball, has actually added that little group to their entity as well.

RR 11:43

You really need to begin at a younger age to build the program for the high school, do you not? Oh, absolutely.

Zach Lillebo 11:48

It doesn't start uh high school, it doesn't start middle school. If our kids are not seeing real competition by third, fourth, fifth grade, they're behind the eight ball when it comes to athletics, you know. We're so far away, we're about an hour and a half from Salem, two hours to Eugene, and so the more we can get our kids involved in those valley sports and those valley travel programs. I know baseball and softball have been doing it for years well before I got here. Now we're starting to get more and more teams. I know uh Dina Patterson, Toby Hunter, those guys have always kind of ran a travel uh ball program the last three or four years that I've been here. And so it's good to see us picking up more. We also got OCJ that we took over. Uh Noah Lambey and Felicia Lambey took over probably four years ago, maybe five. This might be our fourth or fifth year. And that's club volleyball during the wintertime. And so we I think we're upwards about 80% of that program being Taft kids too. So we're starting to get the the feeder programs in place like we have for baseball and softball. And uh, you know, that's only going to benefit us going into the Fourier classification um in the years to come.

RR 12:46

Yeah, talking about going into the Fourier classification. Is this something you guys have sought, or has this been put upon you?

Zach Lillebo 12:54

Yeah, so we heard about it, you know, reclassifications every four years. So it started in uh August of uh last summer. It was finalized there right before winter break on the new classifications, and so what they did was I think it was like the third meeting, three meetings left. Uh they dropped the 3A or the 4A enrollment numbers, ADM numbers, which allowed which moves actually Taft up into the 4A classification. So our new league will be Newport, Felometh, Staten, Cascade, and Central, along with us.

RR 13:25

So that's nothing new, uh really new to the high school because you you've you've played most of those teams for a number of years.

Zach Lillebo 13:34

Yeah, so well before I came, you know, I've been this is my fifth year as athletic director. We've always been a three A school, but prior to that, you know, we have some coaches that are coaching uh within our high school programs that played and competed at the four A classification.

RR 13:48

And what do you look forward to to seeing because of that?

Zach Lillebo 13:51

Well, there's some new rules. So open and closed period. It's no longer the group rule of two uh for coaches, like in basketball, like what after the season you don't get to uh have any of them until uh Memorial Day weekend, and then you get your summer programs. But uh within the 4A, 5A, and 6A classifications, they have different open and closed periods. So first week, first three weeks of your fall sports, there it's considered a closed period. But after that, then you can actually get you know your baseball players, your basketball players, you know, and those guys to together and actually run real practices with more than two kids at a time. Um it's gonna take some juggling, uh, some lots of conversations, but uh I I strongly feel that our coaching staff here at uh Taft is uh one that works well together and uh creates opportunities for kids. You know, I know last year I ran 5 30 a.m. practices uh later on in the year. Well, Coach Hankins comes to me and goes, Do you mind if I open the cages up after school? I'm like, No, absolutely, let's do it. So it's just being flexible and working with our coaching staff and uh trying to provide as many opportunities for our kids without taking away from other programs. So that's the last thing we want to do is recruit kids now that we've got these open periods, but then they drop off playing football or they drop off playing soccer because they want to focus on basketball. It's it's really about encouraging our kids to continue to be two and three uh sport athletes and also put the time devoted to each program so we can be successful.

RR 15:14

How important is that for students to be involved in high school athletics?

Zach Lillebo 15:20

Oh, I think that's I mean one that's one of the reasons why I sit here today, you know, high school athletics, uh just playing sports and uh coaching and stuff. I think it's pivotal, you know, uh when we look at the big scheme of things, a lot of our kids' attendance, you'll see increases when they're in season versus when they're out of season. So uh they're held accountable uh for not only the grades but also the academic piece as well as the attendance piece. And so if they're here at practice, you know, last week boys practice till 8 p.m. So we didn't get home until nine o'clock, you know, five days out of the week last week. So there's not an opportunity for them to go get in trouble, you know, keeping them busy, keeping them part of the team. But you know, the bigger perspective uh, you know, is like what type of kid are we training for the real world? You know, we want one that is uh hardworking, we want one that's a true teammate, we want one that faces adversity to the best possible of their abilities, you know, and I think that's what high school sports is truly about. It's it's about giving them life skills to move forward outside of the high school because these are just games, and we all know that games come to an end at some point in time, whether it's the after the collegiate level or whatever it is, but at some point in time you're gonna end up playing old man basketball on Tuesday mornings because that's all that's available.

RR 16:33

I like that old man basketball as I look up and I see the basketball hoop over the door.

Zach Lillebo 16:38

There's several basketball hoops around the school like that. So yeah, no, it's just uh we we've got a group I don't play, but uh, you know, several of our staff members, some of our former athletes uh that were here the last few years, they come in Tuesdays and Thursdays and they're playing basketball, you know, getting up and down the court for an hour, hour and a half because that's all that's there now, you know. Um the passion and stuff is still there for them, and they have learned that it's great exercise, and it's just it's it's an hour of coming in and playing with kids that are 19, 20, all the way up to you know in our 50s.

RR 17:11

So we look forward to seeing you on the sidelines with the uh athletes uh throughout the course of the rest of the season. I appreciate it. Thank you.

For 55 years, this guy has been part of the senior here at Taft High School. Larry Garrison, welcome aboard.

Larry Garrison 18:11

Hi Roger, how are you doing?

RR 18:13

You have played uh you graduated from up here, played a lot of sports up here, and then you helped officiate, or not officiate, but uh time everything.

Larry Garrison 18:24

That's right. I uh ran chains for football and ran the clock for basketball.

RR 18:30

Well, you say run the chains for for uh football.

Larry Garrison 18:34

I know what that means, but the listener Well, no, we just keep track of first downs and what down and everything, and just run the chains.

RR 18:44

And Larry Garrison on the sideline in shorts.

Larry Garrison 18:47

In shorts. I didn't wear long pants very often.

RR 18:51

Now, you also spent a lot of time inside this gymnasium, that's why we hear a lot of noise in the background. We're recording this up at the high school during the uh Taft uh Amity Games. You were running the clock.

Larry Garrison 19:04

I did. I ran the clock for about 30 years.

RR 19:07

That's a lot of giving.

Larry Garrison 19:09

It sure is, but it was fun. I started when my son was a freshman and then went from there.

RR 19:19

Went from and you are still here frequently, Un City are up here frequently for for the regular games, right?

Larry Garrison 19:26

That's right, that's right. I got a grandson that's playing JV2. He didn't have a game tonight, but we're here watching girls and boys.

RR 19:35

Is there a better activity in town, Larry?

Larry Garrison 19:38

No, there isn't. This is this is fantastic.

RR 19:42

And the bride comes along and enjoys it as much as you do.

Larry Garrison 19:46

Oh, yeah. She we we talked about whether we want to stay home and watch the NCAA finals tonight. No, we came here instead.

RR 19:55

What br brings you back?

Larry Garrison 19:57

Just the kids. That's all it is. Is.

RR 20:01

And that's probably enough of a reason, is it not?

Larry Garrison 20:04

That's right. You know, we we we see so many kids and know their parents, and and it's just something we can do.

RR 20:14

And the the price is right. I mean, uh they're this kind of entertainment for what little bit they charge.

Larry Garrison 20:20

Oh no, they don't charge us anything. We're we're old enough we get in free. The price is right. That's right.

RR 20:28

Yeah, but then again, the number of years that you've continually given back to the school. And uh the service station your mom and dad uh operated for a gazillion years uh really supported this high school.

Larry Garrison 20:41

Oh, yes, they did. And it it we it was just amazing at what the high school did for us too.

RR 20:49

Amazing what the high school did for you, like what?

Larry Garrison 20:52

Well, there's always car washes going on, and and we had so many of the kids that work there, and it was just great.

RR 21:02

Yeah, and it it just continues, it pays back so many times over, doesn't it?

Larry Garrison 21:07

Yes, it does.

RR 21:10

I enjoy watching the kids. Oh uh I thought it was gonna see a three-pointer for there for a second. Uh 340 to go in a ball game and uh tap his tongue 3921, but it's still giving it their own.

Larry Garrison 21:26

That's right, that's right. And they were they were up at the end of the first quarter, and that's the last time.

RR 21:34

Cindy Garrison, I'm gonna get over on the other side of Cindy, and it you uh have sat in the sidelines as much as what Larry has, have you not?

Cindy Garrison 21:45

Oh, I was here to uh keep the coaches from standing in front of him when he was running the clock. They had a way of getting on the court and running to go right in front of him, but he couldn't see then to run the keep the clock running.

RR 22:01

Now you see you graduated from Tath School along along with Larry as well.

Cindy Garrison 22:05

Yes, we both did.

RR 22:07

That's uh a couple of years ago now, 1970. Memories, uh, the highlight would be what?

Cindy Garrison 22:17

Too many.

RR 22:18

Too many. It is really good in to be able to say that you're in your hometown still.

Cindy Garrison 22:24

Oh, yes.

RR 22:26

I look around and I got three sons living here as well. Uh all left, all come back. Uh, and I guess they're gonna they'll be here until until whenever.

Cindy Garrison 22:38

Yeah, it's nice to have the the kids and grandkids around. We have two that are still living here, and uh it couldn't be better.

RR 22:47

Larry and Cindy Garrison, Lincoln City extraordinaire, if you will. We do appreciate all that you've done for the community over all of these years, and look forward to seeing you on the sidelines again for many ball games to come.

Larry Garrison 23:03

Thank you, Roger.

Hey, welcome back to the Double R Show. This is a time that we talk about a lot of events, activities, uh personnel that are in and around the Lincoln City community that really make living here worthwhile.

Son Paul 23:50

Yeah, it's a nice weekly roundup of all the activities that uh you want to know about. And so thanks for tuning in, folks.

RR 23:57

Now, you are gonna give away some money also in this segment.

Son Paul 24:01

Well, always productions, yeah. The double R show is, yeah. We're gonna talk about part of the donut club distribution. Uh each uh donut that we get, we share 20% of it to uh local nonprofit. And this year we've got uh a new uh nonprofit to to give those donuts to.

RR 24:18

All right, we'll talk about that after we talk about this. And uh I hope everybody uh looked and saw all of the flags that were flying last Monday right here in Lincoln City, the parade of flags uh put up by the Lincoln City Kawanis Club. Now, if you don't have a flag in front of your business, that's because you don't have a contract with the Kawanis Club. Forty bucks, is that right? 40 bucks a year. Right. And the flags go up in front of your business, Martin Luther King, Junior Day, President's Day, Armed Forces, Memorial Day, Flag Day, Juneteenth, 4th of July, Labor Day, 9-11, and on Veterans Days. So uh those are the days those flags go up and uh to honor our country, and more importantly, to show your support. And you show your support by giving a Kawanas Club 40 bucks, and a flag is in front of your business.

Son Paul 25:10

Yeah, and uh again, I think we mentioned this before that if you don't have a street side presence, you can get one of those flags put up in uh no man's land or the like. Absolutely some other spots that are uh on 101 that uh you can uh highlight uh your support for.

RR 25:23

Or you can sponsor one of the veteran flags.

Son Paul 25:26

Oh, like the ones that uh Ed Johan Plaza that you and I put took down last night. That's right. A couple nights ago. Exactly right. Yeah, so thanks for doing that, and uh thanks to the Kwantas for for providing that great service. And uh it's a visual statement to the community. It's just always been a great tradition.

RR 25:44

Lincoln County Job Fair. Uh this is the first Lincoln County Job Fair schedule for Friday, March 13th. Uh, this is done by Workforce and Oregon Coast Community College. Uh call 971718 4447 for more information about the uh Lincoln County Job Fair. And the telephone game two is uh on the line. It's on the line, yeah. And hooked up uh right now at the Chessman Gallery, right here in Lincoln City at the uh cultural center. Now, who's gonna win money? Who's gonna get money from uh Mr.

Son Paul 26:23

Paul is gonna write a check to Well yeah, always production is gonna write a check to an entity that was nominated by one of our donut club members. Uh we have uh a three-tier donut club membership. First is uh the dollar a month, that's your donut hole membership. Uh then five bucks a month. Uh members of that level are called the old-fashioned donuts. Gotta be me. Old fashioned your favorite donut. And then the uh kind of the granddaddy of them all is the $13 a month, which of course is the Baker Dozen. And it's those folks in the Baker Dozen Club that get to nominate the nonprofits, and then the whole donut club get to vote on it. And so this year we had uh you know a handful of really great nominations. And uh the winner, though, of all the votes tabulated was one of your favorites. I think maybe your favorite, Angels Anonymous. Angels Anonymous boy. They'll be uh receiving a check uh from Always Productions, and again, that's 20% of the donuts that we get from the year from uh contributors like you. So thank you all to all to all those members.
