Illinois Valley News, Cave Junction, Ore. Wednesday, Oct. 21, 2009 Page 14 Boys meet experienced Eagles By KENNY HIX For IVN The Illinois Valley boys soccer team went to Eagle Point on Saturday, Oct. 17 to face a very good and extremely experienced Eagle squad. It was a reversal of mis- fortune for coach Gary Enoch and his team. They normally play their best soccer in the first half and then run out of gas in the second. Not today. The Eagles systemati- cally ran a productive offen- sive attack and game plan. Their aggressive play was effective as they scored 3 goals in the first half. The Cougars are well coached, quite talented and competitive. However, ac- cording to Enoch, to really play their best brand of soc- cer, the Cougars need to do four things: Talk and communicate; don’t stab at the ball and stay behind the ball; on defense clear the ball wide; lastly, let the ball do the work for you. You don’t have to take the ball away every time. Be pa- tient, sooner or later your opponents will make a bad pass. Then you capitalize on their mistake. The first three “No- No’s” on Enoch’s list led to the first three goals scored by the Eagles. Their goals against I.V. came because: Everybody thought somebody had it, but nobody really did; don’t clear the ball wide and get it stolen for a straight-on-shot; and three defenders went fishing and found out stabbing is not the right bait for success. End result -- an Eagle Point 3-0 lead. “It is really the small things that matter, as they are very important to play the game the right way,” said Enoch. His players got the message at half time and came out mentally focused, stepped up their determina- tion as a team and played their best second half of the season. The I.V. defense was impeccable; and on offense, they were even on shot op- portunities. “Mental focus will pre- vent mistakes and make us compete and play good soc- cer, even when we may be physically out matched and few in numbers,” said Enoch. “Focus will also give us our best chance to win.” David Perata played well in goal with 17 saves, 14 in the first half, and saved all three Eagle shots on goal in the second, one of which was a spectacular. This occurred when con- fusion by a fellow Cougar on the off-side had him playing too far back and all the other Cougars including Perata, thought everybody had their mark. Not so, an Eagle player snuck through and had a wide-open shot from 3 feet away. Perata used his foot not to block the shot, then stayed focused and recover his own deflection. “Jesse Meichtry and his brother Jason played well in the first half,” added Enoch. The coach had to pull a couple of key players at the tail end of the first half to hold them accountable for their play. “Those captain bands mean something. They need to be leaders,” observed Enoch. “Jordan Crouse played extremely well in the second half. I was proud of him.” Pirates pillage Cougar squad By KENNY HIX For IVN From the start of the game at the Phoenix Home- coming Friday night, Oct. 16, the Pirates imposed their grid- iron will on the few, the proud, and the brave Cougars. The Phoenix offensive line opened up the middle and also got to the edge to move the ball running and provided protection for their quarter- back to connect with his re- ceivers consistently. The Pirate defense held the Cougars to one of the lowest offensive output of the year, allowing only 137 total yards. Phoenix took advan- tage of I.V. and lit up the scoreboard in the first half: Pirates 55, Cougars 0. The Cougs played ex- tremely well in the second half. In fact they outscored the Pirates 14 to 6.

Brandon Foraker stripped and stole the bounty from the Pirates and ran until he hit pay dirt 60 yards later. Final score 61-14 Phoenix. “Phoenix must have watched film for the last two years, because we ran plays from last year’s play book and they were well prepared,” said coach Ray Yarbrough. Too well prepared, according to Yarbrough. He said, “The whole team was more prepared than we were. Coaches to players. This won’t happen again.” Greg Crombie-Fujita had two sacks, and Matt Nolan had 10 tackles for I.V. AG forms civil rights unit The appointment of Port- land lawyer Diane Schwartz Sykes to lead the new Oregon Dept. of Justice Civil Rights program Early was an- nounced in October by Ore- gon Attorney General John Kroger. “I’m committed to pro- tecting the civil rights and civil liberties of all Orego- nians,” said Kroger. “Diane Schwartz Sykes is a fearless courtroom attorney and a great addition to our team.” “I’ve dedicated my ca- reer to civil rights,” Sykes added. “I intend to aggres- sively enforce the civil rights laws of this state.” As the first managing attorney of the Oregon Law Center in Portland, Sykes formed a civil legal services unit focused on employment, housing, consumer protec- tion, individual rights, public benefits and predatory lend- ing. The Oregon Law Center offers services to “vulnerable individuals, such as immi- grants, the disabled and the elderly.” Sykes also worked for Legal Aid Services of Ore- gon, where she represented farm workers, domestic vio- lence victims and other vic- tims of discrimination. She has extensive trial experience in state and federal courts and worked with the Oregon DOJ on an unlawful trade practices case against a notary public in Washington County. In his race for attorney general, Kroger announced that he intended to restore the DOJ Civil Rights program that had been eliminated dur- ing the recession of the 1980s. Despite the current economic downturn, Kroger gained legislative support for funds to restore the program. Kroger credits then-Sen. Margaret Carter (D-Portland) with securing money for the program. Sykes graduated in 1992 from the University of Califor- nia at Berkeley with a bache- lor-of-arts degree in psychol- ogy. She was a member of the Student Honor Society and the Psi Chi Honor Society. Sykes obtained her law degree from the University of Oregon at Eugene in 1997. She is treasurer of the Oregon State Bar Diversity Section Executive Commit- tee; a member of the Oregon State Bar Labor & Employ- ment Section; and formerly served on the Oregon State Bar Civil Rights Executive Committee and the VOZ Worker Rights Education Project Advisory Committee. Sykes is fluent in English and Spanish. Water Wells Pump Sales Installation Service 592-6777 1470 Caves Highway Licensed • Bonded • Insured Locally owned and operated in the valley for over 25 years.

(Photo by Michelle Binker, Illinois Valley News ) Cougars show pride on the court By KENNY HIX For IVN The Lady Cougar volley- ball team lost to fourth- ranked Henley in Klamath Falls on Tuesday, Oct. 13, as the Hornets and Autumn We- don’s kill shots once again proved too much. Illinois Valley fell 25-9, 25-3 and 25-2. The Cougars hosted Phoenix at home in Ken Mann Memorial Gym on Thursday, Oct. 15. The Cougs played great in the early minutes of the first set to force a tie at 5. The rest of the set the Pirates scored at a 2-to-1 pace, eventually win- ning 25-16. In the second set the Pi- rates took an early lead and kept their distance while trad- ing points with Illinois Valley to win, 25-12. The third set was the most exciting game of the year for coach Cathy Pope and her Cougars. Everything the Cougs did went right, and they took an early 3-0 lead. I.V. battled and matched Phoenix with timely and lengthy rallies for points, until the Pirates tied at 12. Both teams again traded points until the Pirates took the lead 18-17. With the score 22-18 for Phoenix, Cougar Kara Tyler had four consecu- tive service points when she and her teammates played team ball to tie at 22-22. Hailee Parker was instru- mental during this stretch. Trading points again, the score was tied at 23. The Pi- rates attempted a kill shot only to have Libero Alex Miller make a spectacular dig, and her teammates re- warded her effort with a point to tie at 24. The Cougars next serve went out of bounds, making the score 25-24 and forced the Pirates to win by 2. The Pirate rally was cut short when Bre Smith went high at the net and blocked the Pirate kill shot to the floor. Cougar point and another tie: 25-25. The Cougar fans went ballistic, but I.V. and Smith’s attitude was “been there, done that.” They knew they had ance this writer has seen all year. Miller had 29 digs; Heidi Unger and Kayla John- son had five blocks each. more work. However, the Pirates scored the next to- point to win, 27-25.
