Newspaper Page TextCOTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL November 2, 2016 5A Cottage Grove Retrospective A look back at Sentinel stories from 30 and 60 years ago Nov. 4, 1976 'Basement Bowl' for Lions Last year, Cottage Grove ﬁ nished its best foot- ball season in 12 years by devouring Willamette 50-0. The situation, however, is considerably dif- ferent for the Lions going into tomorrow (Friday) night’s game with the Wolverines. In 1976, Willamette still remains the league’s weakest team both on offense and defense. Its only win came by virtue of the North Bend For- feit. But the Lions aren’t in much better shape. Cottage Grove also goes into the game with a 1-7 record, its only real victory coming against class AA Douglas in a non-league encounter. Both teams were also shut out decisively Friday — Cottage Grove by 43 points to Churchill and Willamette by 38 points to Marshﬁ eld. “Neither of us has won a game, and on paper we’re both about even,” coach Clive MacDonald noted. “When you’re in the “Basement Bowl,” the team that wants it most is going to get it. As always, we’re going to try to play most of our se- niors.” The Wolverines, who are averaging a little over 110 yards a game, work from both slot I and pro slot formations. “They use a lot of motion, and they’re certainly not afraid of throwing on any down,” Mr. MacDonald added. Brian Mitchell (170), a sophomore quarterback, has done a proﬁ cient job of running the option, aswell as throwing the ball. Joining him in the backﬁ eld are junior backs David Swaggerty (165) and Gary Watts (165). Mitchell’s favorite receiver is senior tight end Jim Lassen (180). Slotback Dan Snyder (170) and split end Mike Jones (155) are also key targets. Willamette has a group of big linemen which includes guards Curtis Boggs (190) and Bill Delfs (220), tackles Mike Whistler (225) and Mike Pe- terson (195) and center Dave Johnson (180). The Wolverines have given up more than 340 yards a game, yet most of that is against the rush, which could spell trouble for the pass-concious Lions. The Wolverines usually go with the ﬁ ve- man line, but Coach MacDonald expects they will show deference to the Lions’ pass attack and trey either a 3-8 or a 4-7 alignment. The Willamette defensive unit includes line- backers Leland Jacobson (160), Doug Wells (185), Jeff Shelly (175), safety John Henderson (170), ends Lassen (180) and Mark Kriz (200), tack- les Whistler and Nick Jensen (185), and guards Boggs and Bob Jole (190) Kickoff is at 8 p.m. at Currin Field.
