The senior still fi nished with 20 points. Gardner scored on a layup to put the game out of reach. “We got fl ustered and we looked like we were going to give it away,” said Clawson. “But they straight- ened up and held tough. Everybody did just enough.” The keyword being ‘everybody.’ Sisters’ coach Julainne Horner said that her team came in with a game plan to make someone besides Borigo try to beat them. “She’s a really dynamic inside player,” she said of Borigo, who set a new school record of 34 points in last friday's loss to Stayton. “We wanted to make sure that she earned every shot. We ran a zone defense, gambling that some of Cottage Grove’s guards wouldn’t make their shots.” Enter Neely and Sayles, who combined for 12 points in the fourth quarter. “We weren’t expecting them to come back, but we were able to feed off of each other’s composure down the stretch,” said Sayles. “ We were pretty gassed from a hard week of practice, but it paid off. And it’s su- per important to start off with a win in league.” When the Lions began the game on a 12-0 run, it looked like they out that medium.” would run Sisters out of the gym.

Although the boys and girls were swept by North Bend, coach Tyson Pilling is pleased with what he saw. “Winter break is always the hardest part of the season,” he said. “Because of the holidays we didn’t always have a full team, but the ones who were there put in solid work.” The Cottage Grove boys lost 89-77, but the Lions won three individual races: Senior Jarett Raade took fi rst place in both Caring for your Health WE OFFER: 6SLQH &DUH 2UWKRSHGLF6SRUWV 5HKDE -RE ,QMXULHV 09$ :RUN &RQGLWLRQLQJ )RRW &DUH &KURQLF 3DLQ 6\QGURPH 6WDELOL]DWLRQ 7KHUDS\ 0DQXDO 7KHUDS\ 0F.HQ]LH 0HWKRG )5(( XQOLPLWHG DFFHVV WR $Q\WLPH )LWQHVV &OXE GXULQJ FOLQLF KRXUV /XQFKWLPH HYHQLQJ HDUO\ PRUQLQJ DSSRLQWPHQWV &RQYHQLHQW ORFDWLRQ ZLWKLQ WKH 6DIHZD\ 3OD]D Cottage Grove Physical Therapy ???

The Lady Lions were defeated 123-47. Sophomore Tori Raade claimed the 100-yard (1:06.25) and 200-yard (2:20.82) free- styles. Sophmore Clover Rudi- cel picked up a win in the 100- yard breaststroke (1:26.97). Pilling said that the meet against North Bend went pretty well and that many of the kids are on pace to set new personal bests by the end of the season. He added that several ath- letes could compete for spots at the state meet, including Raade in the long freestyle races and sophomore Ian Miller in the 100-yard fl y. “Sometimes it really depends on who’s coming back from last year,” Pilling said of the team’s state-meet hopefuls. “Not many swimmers from last year’s fi nals of the 200 and 500 freestyles graduated. That being said, I think Jarett could still make it. Events like the 100 fl y, on the other hand, seem to be wide open. We just have to see what happens. Cottage Grove hosts Marsh- fi eld at the Daugherty Aquatics Center this Friday. It will also be Senior Night for Raade and Christi Willits. CGHS Boys Bowling The Lions won their home match on Jan. 4.

Speedway gearing up for 2015 It’s sure to be another great year of racing at the historic 1/4-mile clay oval as the Cot- tage Grove Speedway has an- nounced 36 nights of action for the upcoming season. Regular classes will once again include 360 Sprints, IMCA Modifi eds, Northwest Extreme Sprints, Late Models, Northwest Ex- treme Modifi eds, Street Stocks, and Hornets. This marks the third consecu- tive season that Modifi eds at the CGS will be sanctioned by the International Motor Contest As- sociation (IMCA). This class over several seasons has proved to be one of the toughest divi- sions that CGS has to offer, fea- turing very good car counts and entries from all over the state of Oregon on a weekly basis. The Northwest Extreme Modifi eds are returning for their second year as a class in 2015. They will also be using the IMCA Sport Mod rules pack- age. Probably the biggest an- nouncement is the return of the World of Outlaw Sprint Car Se- ries on Sept. 9 after a year hia- tus. The season will conclude on Oct. 3 with an event that should produce a great car count as many racetracks in the region are closed down that weekend. Other big events on the 2015 schedule inclde Marvin Smith Memorial Grove Classic, Mark Howard Memorial Modifi ed Nationals and Historical Night.
