Illinois Valley News, Cave Junction, Ore. Wednesday, October 1, 2014 Page A-5 Cascade challenges the Lady Cougars By Jenna Larkin IVN Contributing Writer With a 1-9 loss against the Cascade Chris- tian Challengers, IVHS girls’ soccer had a dis- appointing week. On Wednesday, Sept. 24, the Cougars fought against the Challengers despite sickness and an injury early in the game. By the end of the first half, the Challengers lead with a score of 0-9. “Cascade has speed and was able to take over quickly,” said head coach Dick Matte. During the second half, the IVHS squad was able to work the ball down into Challengers territory. Senior Mikael Cusumano, who was not feeling well, scored the Cougars’ only goal with no assist. “Mikael was able to overcome the defense and put the ball in,” said Matte. The Cougars now sit with a 1-1 record in league and a 3-4 record overall. The Lady Cougars had a bye this last Sat- urday, giving them plenty of time to rest and prepare for this coming week. With seven of fourteen games in the re- cord books, the girls’ squad has three games this coming week scheduled. The Cougars were scheduled to travel to Crater on Tuesday, Sept. 30, to take on the Comets. The Lady Cougars have already played against Crater once this sea- son with a tough 0-3 defeat. Coach Matte hopes to have a better game and put a few goals in the net. The girls will also go up against Rogue River, who they have not competed against this season. “Rogue River is a good team, it should be a close game,” said Matte. The last game of the week for the Cougar squad will be against St. Mary’s who has great team speed. Matte knows that all three teams are competitive, but looks forward to the chal- lenge and is confident that the girls will hold their own. Volleyball digs deep during a tough week By Jenna Larkin IVN Contributing Writer The varsity volleyball team and both junior varsity squads had plenty of games this past week to keep them busy and on the road. To start off the week, the Lady Cougars traveled to Cas- cade Christian on Tuesday, Sept. 23. Even with a tough defense, IVHS lost to the Challengers, 0-3. “The girls played very well and stepped it up. Defense was strong, not allowing anything to hit the floor,” said head coach Erica Butler. Halona Jackson was able to hold off the Challenger’s offense with several key digs. IVHS overall played well as a team. With a 3-8 overall record this season, the Cougars traveled to Rogue River to take on the Chieftains on Thursday, Sept. 25. The Chieftains hold a 7-6-1 overall record so far. Both JV teams also had a chance to play against Rogue River. JV 1 took won by a score of 2-0 while JV 2 had a close game with the Chieftains, but lost by a score of 1-2. Following the JV games, the varsity squad lost to Rogue River in a five-set match. In the first game, Rogue River domi- nated with a final score of 15-25. The Lady Cougars took the second game 25-23. The Lady Cougars also won the third game with another close score of 29-27. Rogue River took the last two games with scores of 15-25 and 8-15. Senior Alex LaFlamme played a crucial role in holding the team together and keeping the communication going while on the court. LaFlamme had significant blocks against the Chieftains, keeping them at bay when IVHS most needed to put points on the board. “The girls communicated well as a team on the court. We still have some things to work on but are doing well so far this season,” Butler said. Saturday, Sept. 27, proved to be grueling for the Cougars. The squads traveled to St. Mary’s to play in the Crusader Invi- tational. The varsity girls started the day off in pool play. They first went up against Etna in a two-set match. Each team won one set. Next, IVHS took on North Bend and lost close games. For the third and final match in the pool play, IVHS went up against Yreka, who took the win. The Cougars then went on to play in brackets. The Cou- gars played in the silver division with better outcomes than in pool play. In the first match, IVHS took on the Brookings-Har- bor Bruins. The Lady Cougars took their fourth league win of the season. In their second game, IVHS competed against the Chieftains in a three-set match. The Cougars lost to the Bruins with a final score of 1-2. “Overall the day was long but the girls played well. We got the next win to keep us going,” Butler said of the invita- tional tournament. IVHS grad pursues body sculpting career By Judy Hoyle IVN Contributing Writer In her very first body sculp- ture competition, July Sheridan won a fifth-place trophy at the Sept. 5-6 NPC Desert Storm in Mesa, Arizona. She competed in the “Bikini Novice Class A” group, one of 38 different contests, based on the competitor’s height and age. Out of 207 competi- tors, she came in fourth overall at the two-day event. Similar to beauty contests, the world of body sculpting is highly competitive and fast paced. The NPC organizers annually stage seven dif- ferent events, which sport event ti- tles like Thunderdome, Outlaw and Terminator. Sheridan works out three hours a day, seven days a week. “It’s a lifestyle,” she said in a telephone interview. only recently, but her quick success has led her to consider making a ca- reer of the sport, and get paid for en- dorsements and appearances. “She’s concentrating on her physical fitness right now,” said her mother, Shelly Sheridan. “She has a competition on Oct. 25 and there will be another one in California or Flor- ida at Thanksgiving. If she can win one of the top three awards in the next competitions, she can become a professional.” Her parents originally moved the family to Cave Junction to get away from the fast paced life in Phoenix and Scottsdale where her father, Dell, had achieved fame and fortune as a member of the heavy metal band “Arsenal.” “We got tired of the groupies on the front lawn and fans knocking on our doors at all hours of the day and night,” Shelly said. “Dell had grown up in Eugene and he liked Or- The Arizona native moved to Cave Junction with her parents, brother and sister about 15 years ago and attended Lorna Byrne Middle School and graduated a year early from Illinois Valley High School in 2006. Her IVHS career included playing on the junior varsity softball team and making both the junior var- sity and varsity cheerleading squads. She was also a member of the home- coming court in her final year at IVHS. Upon graduating, she was of- fered a scholarship to Oregon State University. She traveled to Arizona to spend the summer with her grand- parents, aunts, uncles and cousins. At the end of the summer, she decided to stay and has lived in the Scottsdale area ever since. Sheridan is currently a full-time student and plans to complete her ed- ucation at Grand Canyon University.

He came up here looking for property and called me one night to tell me he’d bought what we’d been looking for, so we sold our homes in Arizona and moved here.” “It’s an incredibly slower pace of life here,” she added. “C.J. is home. We like the peace and quiet.” Shelly has worked at the Sis- kiyou Clinic for the past six years as a patient care specialist, while Dell builds custom motorcycles. At one point he owned Redwood Highway Chopper, but no longer feels a need to advertise and simply relies on word of mouth for a steady stream of customers. The Sheridans are proud of their three kids and are strong propo- nents of community support for the next generation coming up. “When Illinois Valley kids suc- ceed, we need to celebrate that,” Shelly said.
