COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL FEBRUARY 8, 2017 3B
B OYS '
WIN
CONTINUED FROM PG 1B
didn’t stop the onslaught of
Cottage Grove, and the Lions
put up another 24 points, in-
creasing the lead. At 70-38,
Cottage Grove was comfortable
enough and Donn Pollard pulled
most of his starters when the
fourth quarter was underway.
Cottage Grove was 35 of 58
(60 percent) from the fi eld and
shot an impressive 50 percent
(six-for-12) from beyond the
arc.
Elmira shot just 29 percent
(18-for-61) and attempted 28
three-point shots (sinking only
four).
The Lions bench had a strong
17-point game, led by Jesse El-
G IRLS '
lingworth with seven points.
Blake Sentman led the team
in scoring with 29 points and
Hunter Gipson followed with 16
points; Kory Parent scored 11..
Sentman, Gipson and Parent
combined for four steals, but it
was Tucker Porter (eight points)
who led the team in steals with
three of his own.
Gipson led the team in re-
bounds with eight, followed by
Dejean Alonzo (six points) with
seven.
Every player on the roster was
rotated in at least once during
the blowout win on Thursday,
giving bench players and back-
ups in-game varsity practice.
Despite the win, the Li-
ons (13-5, 5-1 Sky-Em) fi nd
themselves in the middle of a
three-way tie for the Sky-Em
title. Sutherlin and Sisters both
share a 5-1 record with Cottage
Grove. The Lions’ road loss to
Sutherlin put the league in this
predicament.
As Cottage Grove now reach-
es the fi nal few games of the
regular season, there won’t be
much room for error if they
wish to retain their Sky-Em
crowns and receive a playoff
berth and a chance at the state
tournament yet again. Cottage
Grove has a tough schedule
this week, travelling to Sisters
and Sweet Home, then hosting
Sutherlin on a fi tting Valentine’s
Day. Please see page 2B for
game schedules.
TRIUMPH
CONTINUED FROM PG 1B
he didn’t try to fi ght it.
Weybright still had two more
shots. The point guard made
the second shot but missed the
third, giving the Lions a 39-
37 with 0.5 seconds left in the
game. Elmira couldn’t get a
full-court shot off in time and
the Lions won, putting them on
a fi ve-game winning streak.
“I was proud of our girls for
sticking to the game plan by not
fouling as much and keeping the
Falcons off the foul line,” Yoss
said. Elmira only hit six free
throws compared to 17 the last
time they played the Lions.
“It’s great to see one of our
seniors step up to the line to win
the game for us,” Yoss added.
The Lions were able to hit free
throws down the stretch, sink-
ing fi ve of their last seven, and
Yoss says that one of the misses
was intentional to take time off
the clock.
Weybright only had one
shooting attempt prior to being
fouled and her only points were
from the free throws when the
game was on the line.
Reilly Kelty led the team with
a whopping 19 points on the
night, leading her team to an-
other thrilling victory.
“Every game at least one of
our ‘triple towers’ has stepped
up and had a great game,” Yoss
said. The “triple towers” he is
referring to are freshmen Ema
Gardner, Kelty and junior Ke-
ara Murphy, each stand at six-
foot-1, six-foot-three and six-
foot-two, respectively.
Cottage Grove has now beat-
en every team in the Sky-Em
League at least once. Current-
ly they rival Sutherlin for the
league title (both at 5-1 in league
play). This week the team plays
two games on the road at Sisters
and Sweet Home. Their next
home game will be on Tuesday,
Feb. 14 against Sutherlin at 5:45
p.m.
