2B COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL January 21, 2014 B OYS B ASKETBALL Continued from 1B were going to need more of a cushion,” he said. Over the ensuing four min- utes, Sisters (8-5, 1-0 Sky-Em) showed patience in working through its offense for high-per- centage shots and went 7-of-11 from the free-throw line. On the opposite end of the court, the Lions committed two costly turnovers and rushed many op- portunities as they shot 1-for-6. “Our defense did not let up to- night,” said Sisters coach Rand Runco. “It gave us time for our offense to catch up, and that was the key to the game.” The Lions were forced to play without regular starters Jayden Tucker (concussion) and Chance Hopkins (illness), leav- ing them very short on depth. But Yoss said the team handled that adversity well, and he was particularly pleased with fresh- man Jordan Hagewood — who made his fi rst-ever varsity start. “For a freshman, that’s a pret- ty big situation, and I thought he did very well,” he said. Although he did not score in the game, Hagewood came up with several key plays, includ- ing a steal with 2:26 left in the game. “The coaching staff did a great job of getting me ready and all my teammates were, so I felt great tonight,” he said. Without Tucker and Hop- kins in the frontcourt, the Li- ons elected to play more zone defense than normal. This in part led to a very methodically paced opening quarter in which the teams combined for just 16 points. During halftime, Runco said he talked to his team about be- ing more aggressive in its attack of Cottage Grove’s interior. “I thought that we were tenta- tive playing from the perimeter in the fi rst half, and maybe we were trying too hard to execute. So, we tried to use our size on the inside and just be patient,” he said. The Outlaws responded by outscoring Cottage Grove by 10 points in the third quarter and took a 29-24 lead. It was the umpteenth time this season that the Lions failed to keep pace with an opponent during the third quarter, but Yoss doesn’t believe that the team has any particular issue with that stage of a game. and it’s going to depend on who “A young team is going to shows up that particular night.

But if I did that, my play-by-play would be full of holes, and therefore, so would my game stories. So, I need to talk specifi cally about Kory and Blake and let their growth as athletes also rep- resent the growth that I’m sure has taken place in each mem- ber of the team — regardless of what sport they played this fall. I don’t know many 16-year old kids that could have made it through what Blake did this football season. He threw eight interceptions in guiding the team to an 0-4 start before he was benched for Kory. That ex- perience could have been the end for many young athletes. But Blake showed humility, poise and improvement as he split time with Kory for the rest Sky-Em Boys Basketball Conference W L Pct Sisters 1 0 1.000 Junction C. 1 0 1.000 Sutherlin 1 0 1.000 Elmira 0 1 0.000 Sweet Home 0 1 0.000 Cott.

He also said that the team has a goal to fi nish top-two in the league and host a postseason game. That sounds like an ambitious goal when you consider that the Lions fi nished fi fth in the Sky- Em-football standings. Howev- er, these are not the same Lions. Growth doesn't just happen over the summer, between school years. It happens between sea- sons and even between games.

The Lions, meanwhile, only had seven fi rst downs for the entire game and never moved past the Sisters’ 27-yard line. Last Friday, the game hung in the balance until the very end. Given the lack of a shot clock in high-school basketball, whoev- er has the lead in the fi nal min- ute has such signifi cant edge to win the game. If the Lions could have pulled back even with the Outlaws after they went up 34- 32 with 1:07 left, who knows what would have happened. Closing out a game is a skill, but it also takes a lot of other skills just to be in the position to do so. These Lions may not have enough time to grow into a team capable of fi nishing in the top half of the Sky-Em, but they’re going to keep getting closer.

Coming into the basketball season, I was curious to see if any of that would carry over to the court; whether or not he would want to bear the respon- sibility of the game’s outcome. “No,” coach Donn Pollard said unequivocally when I asked him that very question. “He’s a competitor; he’ll be fi ne. When things get tough, he plays hard- er.” And from the opening tip of the season, Sentman has played fearless. After the Holiday Tourna- ment, Sentman said that the football experience helped him improve as a basketball player, particularly when it comes to the mental pressure of varsity competition. I had fewer concerns about Kory, but his play has exceeded any expectations I had. “Starting with weights this League: Cottage Mixers Date Bowled: Jan. 14 Friday’s Results Sutherlin 59, Sweet Home 50 Junction City 52, Elmira 46 Sisters 42, Cottage Grove 32 Douglas G.
