whom had double-doubles
against the Indians.
“We were able to establish
an early lead due to our hustle
and speed in transition,” said
Crook. “Plus, Tucker did a lot
of damage from the free throw
line.”
Ford scored nine of his 19
3 B
points from the foul line, while
Free was hot from the field. As
the Indians focused on Free
and Ford, freshman Dominic
Wells and sophomore Tyler
Packebush were able to take
advantage of breaches in the
Mohawk defense.
“They got a lot of wide open
shots,” said Crook,” and they
made the most of them.”
Both players had season-best
performances, with 10 points
for Wells and five points for
Packebush.
“Our defense shut down
Mohawk and we controlled the
tempo in the second half,” said
Crook. “That ran a lot of clock
time and helped us stay fresh
down the stretch.”
Ford led scoring with 19
points, 14 rebounds and one
steal. Free had 15 points, 12
rebounds and three steals.
Wells had 10 points, four
rebounds and one steal.
Packebush had five points and
one rebound.
Sophomore
Hunter
Simington had one point, three
rebounds and a pair of steals.
“It was a good team win,”
said Crook.

McKenzie, beginning at 6 p.m.
leader and anchor of the girls’
team, holding down the fifth
and key 10th frames in the
Baker System of scoring (each
of the five girls rolls two
frames per game).
“There’s a lot of pressure on
the anchor bowler,” said
Anderson. “But Abby handles
it well.”
Neil Devera and Evan
Johnson lead a freshman-domi-
nated boys team, which
includes Kaleb Haggard,
Patrick Hill and Logan
Lindner. Sophomore Tyler
Cater is the only non-freshman.
“The boys are doing fine as
freshmen, they’re just young,”
said Anderson.
Only the top two boys teams
and top two girls teams in dis-
trict advance to the state tour-
nament, set for Feb. 20-22, at
AMC Firebird Lanes in Salem.
There are no classifications
in high school bowling. All
qualifying schools, big and
small, compete in the one tour-
nament.
“The girls have a good
chance making it (to states),
now that they know that they
can make the finals (of regular-
season tournaments),” said
Anderson. “It’ll be tougher for
the boys, but they’re a talented
group.”
Competition begins at 8 a.m.
Sunday at Firs Bowl, at 1950
River Road in Eugene.
Win or lose, the teams will
celebrate after the tournament
with either laser tag at Putters
or a visit to Get Air Eugene, the
recently opened trampoline
park.
And win or lose, Anderson
knows he’ll have a good group
coming back next year, and the
year after — and the year after.
“These kids should be really
good their junior and senior
years, if they stay at it,” he
said. “They’ve all been bowl-
ing junior league for years, and
they could be very, very good.”
system last summer created
backlogs for boaters who were
transferring titles and register-
ing during the already busy
summer months.
As a result of extensive
transactions sent through the
mail, particularly boats that
have not been registered
recently or those coming from
out-of-state, staff are entering
the data into the new system
manually.
Staff and boaters have also
had to work through the techni-
cal difficulties of a new sys-
tem. This led to an increased
backlog of boat transactions,
which most boaters are not
accustomed to experiencing
from the agency.
For quick turn-around on
boat registration renewals,
boaters are encouraged to
renew online.
Online boat registration
renewals are immediately
processed when payment is
approved and printed the same
or next day for mailing.
Boaters should be aware that
the new online interface has
additional safety measures
built in that can be confusing,
so it is important to read and
follow the directions closely.
“The new system is up and
running, but we are still work-
ing with our contractor to
improve functionality while
our staff are becoming more
proficient with the user inter-
faces,” said Janess Eilers, Title
and Registration Manager for
the Marine Board. “Over the
past few months we have
brought on temporary staff and
had registration specialists
work overtime to catch up the
on the backlog, so while we are
happy with the progress, we
will continue to have some
inconvenience for those who
are accustomed to faster serv-
ice.”
The Marine Board, working
with marine law enforcement,
will honor any temporary per-
mits that expired until the
agency is caught up with the
transaction backlog.
