COTTAGE GROVE — Kaliyah
Iverson scored 16 points and had
three assists for Madras, but the
White Buffalo girls lost 50-48 to
Cottage Grove in a Class 4A play-
in game on Saturday.
The White Buffaloes led 34-28
at halftime, but were held to 14
points in the second half. “We got
some looks, but they wouldn’t fall,”
coach Zack Lillebo said.
Lynden Harry had 13 points,
eight rebounds and five assists.
Vanessa Culps scored 10 points,
and Jiana Smith Francis added four
points and four rebounds for Ma-
dras.
Cottage Grove has big girls: 6’3,
6’2, and 6’1. Madras played great,
coming up short when time expired.
Last season the team advanced
to the quarter finals, where they fell
short against Cascade, something
they had hoped to surpass this year.
“Our girls are competitors,” said
Lillebo, adding that he fully expects
to be in the playoff mix next sea-
son.
Overall the Buffs had a great
season, finishing 14-6 overall. I’m
proud of all of you MHS White
Buffaloes for the hard work this
year.

We have no seniors on the
team. So we’re not finished, and
I’m looking forward to next year.
Height was a factor in the game: The Cottage Grove Lions has
girls 6’3, 6’2 and 6’1.

Share your memories of Hood to Coast relay
The Hood to Coast relay has
seen many Warm Springs partici-
pants over the years.
An upcoming book—Hood To
Coast Memories, An Oral History of
the Mother of All Relays—will share
some memories by those who
have taken part.
The stories come from partici-
pants, volunteers, spectators, or-
ganizers, celebrities, journalists and
others.
The book will capture the char-
acter, appeal and personality of
the relay race. The authors are
Marc B. Spiegel and Art Garner.
The inaugural Hood To Coast
Relay took place in 1982, featur-
ing eight Oregon-based teams of
10 runners.
They covered a distance of
150 miles in 30 five-mile legs.
Last year, in the thirty-fifth run-
ning of the race, more than
12,000 people from all 50 states
and about 35 different countries
competed on 1,050 teams in the
now 199-mile event.
Each team has 12 runners and
the legs vary in distance from just
under four miles to almost eight
miles.
“Over the years, we’ve
watched with amazement at the
tremendous growth of Hood To
Coast, from a grassroots event to
one with participants from
throughout the U.S. and around
the world,” says founder and or-
ganizer Bob Foote.
“From talking to participants,
volunteers, spectators and others
every year, I know there’s an in-
credible sense of camaraderie
among those involved in the
event. They have many special ex-
periences and lasting memories of
the relay. We’re working together
with the authors to compile and
preserve those personal remem-
brances from the past 35 years.”
The authors are seeking memo-
ries that highlight everything from
running the relay to preparing for
the event to volunteering. Also
of interest: stories revealing ev-
erything from annual Hood to
Coast traditions to family mem-
bers teaming up to weddings (and
proposals) to the origin of team

names—and everything in between.
Individuals can submit their per-
sonal memories through the book’s
website:
hoodtocoastmemories.com.
This is the second book for
Garner and Spiegel. Their first
book was the Amazon best-
seller Indy 500 Memories, An Oral
History of ‘The Greatest Spectacle in
Racing.’
Garner also penned Black Noon,
The Year They Stopped the Indy 500,
which won the Motor Press Guild’s
2014 Book of the Year award and
was a finalist for the 2015 ESPN/
PEN award for literary sports writ-
ing.
Spiegel has participated in Hood
to Coast three times. This year the
Hood To Coast Relay will take place
on August 25-26.
