2013 Inductees

1939 Swim Team

 

UNDEFEATED!! A school of dolphins achieved the goal, coveted by every swim team since the beginning of the tides. This was a record obtained through devotion, striving, humor, and Mickey Mouse (the mascot). This was a tremendous accomplishment, a first in the history of R.A. Long. The girls swam with unity and joy. No matter what the occasion, there was always a song to fit it. From a team of 27, six girls qualified for state Individually and as a team, and acquired 9th place. In district 4th place, was achieved by 17 girls, “It was fun, because you meet a lot of new people”, was the consensus of the team. Ms. Lancaster was impressed with the girls overall team spirit and as a whole the team did very well to place where they did. Per the girls, “What we liked best was the rooting for the team and wanting everyone to win more than we did ourselves.” This team did something that has not been repeated or duplicated since 1971.

That is to have an undefeated season that culminated at the state championship meet.

The mermen as they were called defeated the following teams, Stadium and Lincoln High schools of Tacoma, Aberdeen, Everett, Vancouver and Port Angeles.

1952 Football Team

Nine wins and one loss was the amazing record compiled by the 1952 Longview Lumberjacks, coached Buck Hammer and Tiz Miller. During the football season the'Jacks' were only beaten once by Aberdeen in the S.W. Washington conference. This amazing team also set three new records and tied another in their quest for victory. Two of the three records were set in the game with Vancouver when the 'Jacks' amassed a total of 57 points, which topped the previous record of 47, and had a winning margin of 50 points which topped the previous record of 48. The other record was amassing 215 points for six games, which beat the old record of 158 points set by Vancouver in 1941. The record that was tied was the combined score of 64 points that occurred in the Vancouver game. The senior backfield on this team was outstanding and included Marsh, Anderson, Vestal and Earnest. The line was a powerhouse with Hartshorn, Grumbois, Day, Masterson, Christian, Nelson and Smith. Eight players on the 1952 Lumberjack team were named to the all-conference teams. First team honors went to Howard Hartshorn, Gene Grumbois, Gary Earnest and Chuck Marsh. Named to the second team were Dallas Vestal, Dale Smith, John Masterson and Dick Day. LeRoy Nelson received honorable mention.

2010 / 2011 Inductees

The Hall of Fame Committee, after consulting with members of the community, determined that the moving the Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony to the spring would better serve the RAL community. The late fall/early winter ceremonies of earlier years caused some travel difficulty for inductees, their family, and friends.

1983 Girls Volleyball State Champion Team

Experience and enthusiasm are two words that best describe the 1983 Lumberjill volleyball team. With the return of eight letterwomen including five outstanding seniors, the Lumberjills had hoped to challenge their third St. Helens Conference Title. They began the 1983 season with a 30 game league winning streak and ended the season still counting at 44. In their four years at R.A. Long the seniors registered 50 league wins and zero losses. Led by returning all conference players Anne Armstrong, LeAnn Coates and Jennifer Rooklidge they had hoped to duplicate their 1982 season. Instead they had the best season in the history of R.A. Long High School. They were first in the league, first in the district, first in the Lumberjill Invitational and of course first in the state. Five of the players were named to the All Conference Team; Sheryl Peterson, LeAnn Coates, Anne Armstrong, Jennifer Rooklidge and Amy Earnest. The coach Bill Marshall was inducted in the R.A. Long Hall of Fame in 1997 and The Washington Volleyball Coaches Hall of Fame in 2008.
