COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL Nov. 30, 2016
3B
S TATE
CONTINUED FROM PG 1B
at 21 with just 10 minutes
left. The way the game was go-
ing, no one in attendance would
have thought that would be the
last time the Lions would score.
Cottage Grove’s lack of size
forces the team to rely on its
speed, which it has plenty of.
However, this time, North Bend
had both. The Bulldogs were
able to pound the ball up the
middle throughout the entire
game, but Cottage Grove didn’t
want to load up the box, as that
would invite a deep pass over
the top, which is what eventu-
ally happened on the next drive.
North Bend threw a 55-yard
touchdown pass that was fortu-
nately tipped for the Bulldogs.
A blocked extra point made
their lead 27-21. After another
huge defensive stop, North
Bend found the end zone once
more, this time on the ground,
making it a 35-21 game with
three minutes left.
“When we got to 21, I really
thought at that point we were
going to fi nd a way to win,”
Head Coach Gary Roberts said.
“But hats off to North Bend,
their players executed down the
stretch.”
Again, the score doesn’t nec-
essarily accurately refl ect how
close the game was. Cottage
Grove fi nished the game with 21
fi rst downs and 446 yards of to-
tal offense, and North Bend had
23 fi rst downs and 473 yards of
total offense, which included a
10-play, 99-yard drive in the fi rst
half. The Bulldogs punted three
times to the Lions’ two times,
and they were 52 and 54 percent
on third down, respectively.
The big difference was the red
zone play. Cottage Grove had
only a 40 percent success rate
in the red zone, whereas North
Bend had a 75 percent success
rate.
Stylistically, the teams were
very different. Sentman went
24 for 44 on the night for 368
yards and two touchdowns, and
the Lions only netted 60 yards
on the ground. North Bend
quarterback Brody Lucero was
just seven for 13 on the night for
127 yards and a touchdown. But
the Bulldogs netted 346 yards
on the ground with four touch-
downs.
For the fi rst time this season,
Cottage Grove faced an op-
ponent that was well-rounded
enough in size and speed to
cause problems for a Lions’
team that seemed improbable to
stop in the speed department.

W EIGHTS
CONTINUED FROM PG 1B
was by taking gold in the
Master Women’s competition,
benching 214.7 pounds.
The athletes were coached
and supported by Macauley’s
husband, Ed, a nine-time world
champion who was disappoint-
ed that he couldn’t compete due
to falling ill on the days of com-
petition.
Miller, Macauley and Hen-
dricks all represented the Emer-
ald Valley Fitness Club, which
was founded shortly after the
passing of Bud Stewart, a pas-
sionate and enthusiastic weight
lifter in the area. Miller and
Hendricks also represented their
local club, Anytime Fitness.
“It was just a year of blood,
sweat and tears,” Macauley said
of the work they put in. The
weight lifters don’t begin at a
certain time of the year; instead,
they train all year for the world
championships, which is what
credits a lot of their success.
“We’re just really grateful
for all of our sponsors and sup-
porters because it’s not cheap
to send us there, and I hope we
made them proud,” she added.
The group will be striving for
new goals for next year’s com-
petition. Macauley is going to
try to beat her age group’s Or-
egon state record of 185 pounds.
She attempted 187 pounds dur-
ing the competition but wasn’t
able to complete the lift.
Miller will also strive to break
the Oregon state record in the
Women’s Masters.
