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.

sponded with baskets on Suther-
lin’s next two possessions to
dash whatever hopes the Lions
had at that point.
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.

ing the head coach. 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.

J.V. team last year.

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-
