Cougars knocked out of playoffs in first round loss
By
Jenna Larkin
IVN Contributing Writer
The Cougars football squad traveled roughly nine hours to
Eastern Oregon Nov. 9 to take on the Nyssa Bulldogs during
round one of the State’s 3-A playoffs. Unfortunately, the Cou-
gars lost 10-48.
This was the fourth playoff appearance in IVHS history,
the most resent being in 2010, when the Cougars lost to Santiam
Christians in the second round.
“The season was a success overall,” said head coach Ray
Yarbrough. “We transitioned from being a more pass-oriented
team into being a run-oriented team.”
Although the team did not achieve all of their pre-season
goals, they did however accomplish the biggest one, making it
to the playoffs. That, to Yarbrough, makes this season a histori-
cal one, especially with James Thompson smashing the school’s
single season rushing record. The team also surpassed the 2,000-
yard rushing mark. Ending a season with 1,000 yards is consid-
ered the benchmark. Even though Thompson’s name will go in
the record books by itlsef, Yarbrough feels that it is really a team
record.

“Without the offensive line blocking and the passing game
being dangerous, the record would not have happened,” said
Yarbrough.
Overall, the team achieved many league awards, with sev-
eral players being recognized for their outstanding dedication
during the season.
Those awards include the following:
