Oregon State fans were doing as
much as they could to help the
Beavers win, including verbal taunts
and creating a tunnel for the team
to run through when it returned
from the locker room. The furious
start to game three was the only
time the Ducks were able to quiet
the crowd.
The fans' enthusiasm appeared to
work as the youthful Duel® appeared
flustered at times.
"They were letting our kids have
it," Ferreira said. "When you silence
the crowd you've got to keep them
there. When you're on the road you
can't play even with your opponent
you have to play better and you've got
to do the things you need to do to
silence the crowd.
"I thought they handled playing in
a difficult atmosphere well. For a lot of
kids, it was their first Civil War."
The Beavers never trailed in game
one, but were unable to pull away. Af
ter trailing 23-17, the Ducks pulled to
within 28-26 before giving up the
game's final two points.
Game two was a similar situation,
but the Ducks at one point led 21-19
before giving way to the Beaver attack.
"We just couldn't sustain (or) fin
ish," Ferreira said. "It's definitely frus
trating for these kids. My job, proba
bly more than anything else, is to
truly take care of their emotions be
cause they're doing everything that
they need to do to get to where they
need to get to.
"Just because you don't get the
results you want today doesn't
mean you're not doing the things
you need to do. it's far from a panic
situation. Anytime you have 12
freshmen and sophomores, your
system is still in its evolution."
Sophomore Jodi Bell led the Ducks
with 32 assists. Freshman Kristen
Bitter finished with 11.5 points, in
cluding three service aces. Junior libero
Katie O'Neil added 14 digs.
After Mason put the Ducks ahead
19-17 with a kill in the second game,
she was issued a yellow card for
screaming and gesturing towards the
Oregon State side of the court. O'Neil
said this type of enthusiasm is an en
couraging sight.
"We're still optimistic because we're
young and we're fresh," O'Neil said.
"We have great attitudes and great
chemistry and it's a lot of fun this year."

ball remains a game with integrity
where players are taught that win
ning overshadows personal acco
lades. Try getting Randy Moss to
block during a run in the fourth
quarter if he hasn't caught a pass;
that probably wouldn't succeed.
Even though the talent level is low
er, high schoolers can still put a quali
ty product on the field. I attended a
state semi-final game in Maryland
two years ago, and it was the greatest
football game I've ever seen. Urbana
— a school full of big farm boys —
defeated national power Seneca Val
ley 29-23 in triple overtime. The
game featured everything from a
sophomore kicker drilling a 51-yard
field goal to a drive-saving conversion
on fourth-and-37 with less than two
minutes remaining.
The city of Eugene was home to its
own brand of entertaining prep foot
ball last year. Sheldon High School
had one of the most explosive offens
es in the country. Led by quarterback
Alex Brink — now a freshman at
Washington State — the Fighting
Irish won the Oregon Class 4A State
Championship and were ranked in

the top 25 nationally.
Entering Friday, the Irish are once
again one of the state's elite as they
hold the No. 3 ranking in the Asso
ciated Press poll. Willamette High
School, another Eugene power,
is sixth.
The Wolverines have been domi
nant, outscoring opponents 212-28
on their way to a 5-0 record.
I'm not saying pro and college
football should be put on the back
burner and the focus should switch
to high school. Think of high school
football as a "soul cleansing" experi
ence if hearing about scandals and
holdouts grows old. If nothing else,
high school football presents the
chance to see that there are still ath
letes who play the game the way it's
supposed to be played.
So if the Ducks jump out to a huge
lead Friday, there's no cable TV in the
house or a change of pace is needed,
check out a local high school foot
ball game.
At least there won't be any
commercials.

It shouldn’t carry the death penalty.
Work in a bar? Or a restaurant with a bar? How about a bowling alley, or a Bingo hall? Then you are
probably a smoker. Even if you've never lit up a cigarette.
Oregon has a smokefree workplace law. But it doesn’t cover over 33,000 workers in Oregon. It's not
fair, and it could kill you.
• Working an 8 hour shift in a smoky environment is the equivalent of a pack of cigarettes'
worth of dangerous chemicals.
