Page 7 Illinois Valley News, Cave Junction, OR Wednesday, October 29, 2003 Mazama spoils Cougars’ playoff dreams Illinois Valley’s foot- ball play-off hopes came to a screeching halt on Satur- day, Oct. 25 as Mazama walked away with a 28-21 win at I.V. High School. Illinois Valley running back Mike Pagnotta pulled himself up to one knee and looked exhausted in the fourth quarter as the- Vikings put the kibosh on his final drive of the sea- son. Pagnotta, who led his team with 1,240 yards this season on 163 carries for 21 touchdowns, was stopped a couple yards short of getting a much needed first down for the Cougars deep in the red zone in the final minutes of the game. As Mazama let the final seconds drip off the clock, Illinois Valley’s playoff hopes also melted away. A win would have put the Cougs in the Class 3A state playoffs. Instead Mazama and North Valley lead the league (4-1) and Phoenix sits in third with a 3-2 record. The Cougars held a 21-20 lead after three quar- ters. But Ryan McGraw, Mazama’s quarterback, broke free for a 68-yard POLICE BLOTTER (Editor’s Note: Names, ages, addresses, incidents and charges are provided by official law enforcement agencies.

He walked free from an Ore- gon prison more than a year ago. Because of re- cent back surgery he has to take it slow and easy, but we praise God for His healing. Sunny and Walt are two more of our volunteers who help Life Lines and write for the newsletter. She is free from a Utah prison, and came back to Cave Junction. She is so sunny and full of life. Walt goes with my husband, Doug, each Sat- urday to haul a load of bread from Grants Pass for distribution to our people here in Illinois Valley. We have a precious bunch of saints, and I hope to talk about more of them in other columns. The important item for us to remember is that we walk on our road to free- dom each moment. We walk daily being led by the Holy Spirit. We have confidence in God’s Word, and we have surrendered our lives to Jesus Christ. We are on the right road.
