Frederick will be competing in the high jump while Jackson will compete in the 100 meters. Both ladies competed in state last year and worked hard to make it this year. A personal goal for Frederick is to get onto the podium while at state. Jackson had a tough time at districts, but she made a strong come- back and looks forward to doing well at state. Both young ladies will be among the first athletes to use the newly finished track located at the IVHS football field. The runways will be completed this week, giving the ladies the much needed practice just before the state championships. Head coach Ray Yarbrough is proud of all the athletes this season, but does not want to take away the spotlight from Jackson and Frederick. “All the credit goes to the two going to state,” said Yarbrough. “Every morning I would open the school weight room and every morning two students would be consistently in the room. Both girls showed great dedica- tion and hard work. They should be proud of themselves.” Lady Cougars take wins, boys struggle to get hits 13. By Jenna Larkin IVN Contributing Writer The Lady Cougars started out shaky this season, but have worked hard to become a strong squad. This past week reflects the hard work that has been put forth. On Monday, May 12, the Cou- gars went up against Cascade Chris- tian while at home in a double-header. In the first game, Keyanna Augustadt had two hits and two RBIs. Allison Primeau and Mahkayla Sommers each had one hit and an RBI. Miliya Stewart pitched for both games while Augustadt caught. Together, the two were a force to be reckoned with and gave the Challenger Athletics a tough game. The Cougars took a win in the first game with a close score of 14- Arts Red Garter Firday Night Open Mic and Karaoke! During the second game, Sa- mantha Frederick had three RBIs. Miliya Sterart had three hits resulting in two RBIs. Chawna Crawford had one hit resulting in an RBI. The Cou- gars grabbed their second win of the night, 13-7. “These girls played a great game of softball,” said head coach Bobbi Loyd. “I knew they had it in them.” On Friday, May 16, the Lady Cougars traveled to Rogue River for another double-header. The first game proved to be one of the better games the girls have played so far this season. With a huge win of 10- 0, the girls have definitely become a tight team. With Stewart pitching and Au- gustadt behind the plate, they were an unstoppable team, never allowing a run to be made by the Rogue River Chieftains. Alexus Inge had two hits resulting in two RBIs, while Augus- tadt connected with the ball getting two hits and one RBI. Erika Ander- son also had two hits and two RBIs. In the second game, the ladies lost their steam and allowed the Chieftains to take an early lead. With a loss of 5-15, the Lady Cougars of- fense seemed to have dissipated a bit from the prior three games. Allison Primeau was the only one that had two hits during the game. The Lady Cougars were set to play their last game against Lakeview while at home on Tuesday, May 20. For as much as the softball squad has come together and become a team, winning a few games, the guys seem to be struggling and slid- ing downhill. On Tuesday, May 13, the IVHS baseball team traveled to Saint Mary’s for a single game. Saint Sequoia Phil King Friday, May 23 @ 5:30 p.m. Taylor’s Country Store Sat. May 24 @ 6 p.m. Every Friday Jay Barley Every Wednesday Open Mic. Night From 6-8 p.m. Mary’s dominated and got a 4-2 win. Freshman Andrew Sherier had two hits during the game. “We’re competitive defensively. Offensively is where we are strug- gling,” said head coach Jesse Dugas. “We have to hit the baseball better.” On Friday, May 16, IVHS host- ed a double-header against the Rogue River Chieftains. In game one, Lander Nordal was the starting pitcher with Conrad Davis behind the plate. Eric Miller finished the game as a reliever. Even though IVHS pitchers were on their game, Rogue River had a good pitcher on the mound and gave up lit- tle offense. The Chieftains also had a couple of key hits that put them over the top, taking the game 5-3. In the second game, the guys had a harder time keeping up with Rogue River. Rogue River won 14-4. Zach Welch and Conrad Davis were Saturday night Pool Tourney @ Sportsmans Tavern able to connect with the ball, helping to get the few runs made by IVHS. Welch had a two run homerun while Davis went two for two, grabbing a single and a double. The guys were scheduled to go up against Lakeview at home in their final game of the season on Tuesday, May 20. On a side note, the junior var- sity baseball team played their first game of the year on Thursday, May 15, against Umpqua Christian. The Cougars won 15-6. Tanner Davis pitched with Zak Lindell behind the plate. The JV team is freshmen and sophomores with a senior who has never played before. “It’s nice to see the younger class at such a high level,” said Du- gas.
