2B COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL January 28, 2015 B OYS B ASKETBALL Continued from 1B shooting well, we need to work together as a team. We just have to swing the ball and keep looking for good looks,” said sophomore Tucker Porter, who led the team with nine points. All told, the Bulldogs scored on 17 of 24 fi rst-half posses- sions and shot 5-for-6 from 3- point range. When the buzzer sounded for the end of the fi rst half, the Lions trailed 39-16. Sutherlin’s offense hit a major lull in the third quarter, scoring only six points while shooting 1-for-9 from the fi eld with two turnovers. During one stretch, Junior Chance Hopkins scored fi ve straight points for Cottage Grove, but the Lions were un- able to fully capitalize on the opportunity as they committed fi ve turnovers in the quarter. The door for a Cottage Grove comeback was opened ever so slightly when Caillier went to the bench after picking up his fourth foul one minute into the fourth quarter. Sentman — the recipient of the foul — hit both of his free throws and scored on the ensuing possession to trim the Bulldogs' lead to 15.

Friday’s game was the fi rst meeting between Cottage Grove (0-3, 4-13) and Sutherlin (3-0, 11-6) since the Bulldogs re- joined the Sky-League this past offseason. So far, Martineu be- lieves the move has been to his team’s advantage. “It’s worked out well be- cause the Sky-Em is all about ball pressure. And most of the time, Noah can beat the fi rst and second guy off the dribble,” he said. Martineau also acknowledged that the cramped and disorient- ing confi nes of Sutherlin’s gym, along with a supportive group of fans, give the Bulldogs an unde- niable home-court advantage. Pollard said that he has not yet seen a similar level of sup- port from the Cottage Grove fan-base and can’t help but think that his young team would benefi t from a better turnout at Lion home games. He will likely get his wish this Friday night as 70 mem- bers from the University of Or- egon marching band will be on hand for Cottage Grove’s game against Elmira. While the Lions have opened the league season with three losses, including a one-point loss to Junction City on Tues- day, Jan. 20, wins against Sweet Home and Elmira this week could put Cottage Grove back in position to chase a postsea- son berth. “We’ve got to keep our heads in it. Sutherlin was one loss and we still have a long season ahead of us,” said Porter.

It’s a much more relaxed position and it’s changed my perspective on the game,” he said. Porter said he caught some friendly fl ack when he an- nounced to his team that he would be switching schools within the conference but doesn’t anticipate any drama in his fi rst game back. “The kids are great and I’m still friends with a lot of people in Sweet Home. I’m sure there will be some ribbing but it will all be in good nature,” Porter said.

Sweet Home is next for Lions, Porters was hired by the South Lane School District to be its direc- tor of technology and student achievement. “I thought it would be a good move for me, and the transition has been great,” said Porter, who had been targeting a move into SLSD for several years. “It’s a great school district, the job is fun and I really enjoy working with great people.” Initially, Porter was unsure if he would seek a role on the Lion bench. But after meeting with Pollard, both parties were convinced of a good fi t. He has been asked to focus on defensive rebounding — an important task given that this group of Lions is often outsized. “It has been nice to help with- out having the pressure of be- L 17 20 23 27 27 28 32 34 League: Junior Stars Date: Jan. 124 Team Ten Pin Mafi a Hot Shots Space Money Delivery Boys Lane Damage W 32 25 23 18 17 L 3 10 12 17 18 Find Local Businesses. ,QWURGXFLQJWKHQHZHVWZD\WR´QGWKH Find Local Businesses. businesses that mean the most to you. ,QWURGXFLQJWKHQHZHVWZD\WR´QGWKH businesses that mean the most to you. www.shoppelocal.biz www.shoppelocal.biz Find GREAT MONEY SAVING COUPONS from local businesses Cottage Grove Sentinel Shoppe™ is a trademark of News Media Corp.
