COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL April 27, 2016
three and two RBIs, respec-
tively. But the important detail
to take away is not in individual
performance, but the quantity
of batters getting on base. The
last time Cottage Grove played
Sutherlin, only four managed to
get hits and the Lions fi nished
with a batting average of .167
in their 3-0 victory. This recent
performance has displayed out-
standing improvement among
the Lions and has perhaps an-
swered any questions about the
team’s ability to get on base.
Regardless, the Lions have
only one league loss to a team
they no longer have to worry
about, and recent trends sug-
gest Cottage Grove holds the
most realistic chance to take the
Sky-Em. Cottage Grove hosts
one more game against Suther-
lin this week before moving on
Junction City.

A total score is accumulated for
each individual’s three perfor-
mances.
The ages for competition are
grouped as follows: seven and
eight, nine and 10, 11 and 12, 13
and 14. Each age group will have
the chance to compete at four
levels of competition which in-
cludes the Team Championships
at a Major League ballpark and
the National Finals at the 2016
MLB All-Star Game.
The fi rst and local level will
be held at the Bohemia school
ballpark on May 7 at 10 a.m.
The individual pitching, hit-
ting and running champions,
along with the all-around cham-
pion in each age and gender
group at the local competition
will be advance to the sectional
level.
Registration is free and forms
are available at the Sentinel or
can be acquired through the Li-
ons Club.
though Knutson warns of stiff
competition in the 4A class.
“There are two guys from
Henley who have already bro-
ken 15 seconds,” he said, “but
Coach Bridgens has been work-
ing hard with Michael on his
hurdling technique.
Moving away from the track,
one of the more notable perfor-
mances came from the arm of
Brad Geisler. Geisler took ninth
in the shot put throw with a dis-
tance of 41 feet, 11 inches, and
then he stood out in the discus.
While a senior from Nestucca
seemed to control both the shot
put and the discus, Geisler stood
out by taking second in the dis-
cus throw with a distance of 139
feet, three inches. The Nestucca
senior Brett Elder threw over
155 feet, smoking the rest of
the competition. But with that
throw, Geisler achieved a new
personal best by about eight
feet.
Other mentionable placements
were Jayden Tucker fi nishing in
third for the long jump (19 feet,
11 inches), Tucker Porter in
sixth for the triple jump (40 feet,
7.75 inches) and Konrad Raum
placing sixth in the 3000 meter
with a time of 9:38.81 seconds.
The team will travel to Stay-
ton on Friday and look to con-
tinually progress as the district
meet (which takes place at home
this year) draws closer.
