Cougars represented among fall Skyline Conference honorees
Foraker came to play. He also
was chosen as an Honorable
Mention offensive tackle.
Foraker never left the field, as
he was also on all of the spe-
cial teams for the Cougars.
He was the most feared de-
fensive player in the confer-
ence by opposing coaches
and players.
Also for IVHS, Roger
Hults, a junior, gained second
team defensive back and
Honorable Mention quarter-
back citations. Hults set the
single-season passing record
for the Cougars.
T.J. Parker, wide receiver
and linebacker; and Freddy
Hults, tight end, gained Hon-
orable Mention status.
Crouse, a junior forward,
was the engine for the men’s
soccer team this year. He

Several Illinois Valley
High School Cougars were
selected by coaches of the
Skyline Conference last week
for the fall season. Three gar-
nered first team honors:
*Football, Brandon
Foraker.
*Men’s Soccer, Jordan
Crouse.
*Cross Country, Casey
Robertson.
Foraker, a senior, led the
conference with tackles and
was one of the most vicious
hitters at middle linebacker.
In fact, he was one of the
leading tacklers in the entire
state, and despite being be-
hind on the scoreboard in
every game he continued to
perform at a high level.
From start to finish,
XC duo strong to the finish
was slightly longer at
24.12.00.
Robertson highlighted
her season with the fifth best
time in the Skyline Confer-
ence this season with a time
of 21.01.86. This time was
43rd out of 402 runners in the
state 4-A class. Prickett had
her personal best time in the
district meet.
In fact all six girls had
their best times of the season
at the Skyline District Meet.
“They really step it up at dis-
tricts. I am proud of them”,
said coach Janie Pope. Team
members this year were Mali
Witchelo, Erin Byrne, Hailee
Parker, Tyler Delaney, Heidi
Unger, Prickett and Robert-
son.

Two Lady Cougar run-
ners represented Illinois Val-
leys cross country team in
fine fashion at the state meet
held at Lane Community Col-
lege in Eugene on Saturday,
Nov. 7.
They were among 119 of
the state’s best runners at this
event. However, Casey
Robertson and Jasmine
Prickett knew they had
worked hard all season and
deserved to be there. They did
what they do best -- run.
Robertson finished the
day with the top 25 runners at
20th place, with a time of
21.21.00, little more than a
minute and a half behind the
top finisher. Prickett’s time

both ends and set a tone for
his teammates to follow not
only by his leadership but by
his performance. Crouse was
relentless and always caused
match-up problems for his
opponents.
Cougars Jovany Sanchez,
a freshman forward, and Ben
“Pit Bull” Kendall, a senior
defender were named to the
second team. Anthony Real-
muto, a junior defender, got
an Honorable Mention.
Casey Robertson, a jun-
ior and two-time selection on
first team, set the bar for her
teammates not only with her
times, but with her work ethic
and team leadership. She had
the fifth-best time in the Sky-
line Conference.
Jasmine Prickett, a sen-
ior, was named to the second
team. Both girls went to state
to represent the Cougars.
Laurissa Tausaga, a jun-
ior, was the lone representa-
tive for the girls soccer team
and received Honorable Men-
tion. Tausaga inspired her
teammates with her leader-
ship and aggressive play on
offense and defense.
She never gave in, gave
up or let down the entire
game. She also made one of
the two goals scored this sea-
son by the Lady Cougars.
Alex Miller Libero and
Kayla “Jo Jo” Johnson, both
juniors, were selected for
Honorable Mention. Miller
led the team in digs and John-
son was just being Johnson
and performed like she al-
ways does in every sport she
plays: flat out.
