4B COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL September 20, 2017
Football Continued
from B1
the Lions started to turn it on.
They received the ball to start
the half and marched down fi eld
for a Bottorff score. To avoid
Scappoose’s dangerous kick re-
turner, the Lions elected to kick
short which resulted in an Indi-
ans fumble and a Cottage Grove
possession. The Lions scored on
a Giffen’s touchdown to put the
Lions up 35-14.
This was the start of Giffen’s
busy third quarter. After scoring
a touchdown, he blocked the
Scappoose extra point on their
next possession and then came
up with interceptions on their
next two drives to seal the Cot-
tage Grove victory.
While the air was fi lled with
excitement after the game, se-
nior offensive and defensive
lineman Nate Farrell was ex-
cited about the win but was
looking forward to the start of
league play.
“It’s great but honestly we
look at it like we’re 0-0 right
now. We got a really big target
on our back because we took
league last… now we have the
target on our back and we’re go-
ing to carry it. We want to come
out of league 5-0,” said Farrell.
On Friday, the Lions will be
travelling to Elmira where they
will take on the 2-0 Falcons. In
their fi rst two games Elmira out-
scored their opponents 82-7.

Home cross-country
meet a success
By Zach Silva
zsilva@cgsentinel.com
Saturday morning high school cross-country teams from around the state came to
Schwartz Park for the Harrier’s Challenge. The meet, that is hosted annually by the
Cottage Grove High School cross-country team, boasts a course that has a little of
everything: a forest trail, a gravel path and a run up Dorena Dam.
The varsity boys race started the day and Cottage Grove’s Konrad Raum was
right in the front with the leaders from the get-go. The initial pack of 10 was whit-
tled down as the course wound through the woods. The leaders continued to jockey
for position through the course before the course brought the runners up the side of
the dam in what is a brutal hill climb.
Raum had separated from two runners from Philomath and was in a close race
with Oakridge’s sophomore Isaac Whitney for fi rst. Whitney surged away on the
hill and never looked back. Raum fi nished the race in second.
“I wanted to place top fi ve so second is good for me,” said Raum who noted that
this is a course where the goal is to fi nish well opposed to running a fast time. “It’s
more [about] placement. You look where your pack is at and see who you’re with
and then on that last mile you try to do better than you think you can.“
Shortly after Raum, was Cottage Grove’s Jimmy Talley in seventh place and
Paesen Timm in eleventh. Desptie the diffi cult course, Talley was pleased with his
improvement from last year.
High school
sports roundup

Game Cancellations
After a seemingly clear
week, the smoke fi lled the air
last weekend causing some
high school sports cancel-
lations. The Yoncalla foot-
ball game last Friday against
McKenzie was postponed
to Monday the 19th and the
cross-country meet they were
going to be competing in was
cancelled altogether. Elkton
football’s game at Crow was
also cancelled on Friday.
Cottage Grove Volleyball (2-5)
The team fi nished up the
non-league portion of their
schedule last Tuesday when
they fell at home to Hidden
Valley 1-3. They started league
play against Sisters last Thurs-
day and they lost in straight
sets to the Outlaws on the road.
Cottage Grove Girls Soccer
(1-2-1)
To end their non-league sched-
ule, the girls rolled over Marsh-
fi eld at home winning 5-0. In
their fi rst
league
game of
the season
they tied
with Sis-
ters 1-1 on the road.
Cottage Grove Boys Soccer
(2-0-1)
In addition to their win over
Sisters last Thursday, the boys
defeated Marshfi eld on the
road 6-1. Kyle Conley and
George Cervantes each had
two goals.
Elkton Volleyball (11-4)
The Elks beat Yoncalla at
home in straight sets on Tues-
day and lost to Days Creek 2-3
on Thursday. On Saturday they
travelled to the Reedsport Invi-
tational where they beat Gold
Beach and then fell to Reed-
sport in the championship.
North Douglas Football (2-1)
Last Friday the team trav-
elled to Crow where they won
48-20. The Warriors relied on
their run game as they rushed
for 443 yards on the day. Run-
ning back Caleb Parks fi nished
the game with 223 yards on 14
carries for three touchdowns.
North Douglas Volleyball
(15-4)
The Warriors volleyball
“I was pretty happy with my time,” said Talley. “I’m a sophomore this year and
that was my PR from last year so that was pretty good.”
Konnor Owens and Matteo Liserre rounded out the Lions top fi ve fi nishing in
40th and 44th respectively. As a team Cottage Grove fi nished in fourth behind Phi-
lomath, Elmira – a fellow Sky-Em League team that they will race at districts – and
Newport. Nine teams competed on the boys side.
While the boys team used their top runners to place well the girls’ team depended
on their runners fi nishing closer together. Cottage Grove’s Nadia Witt led the team
fi nishing in 18th place.
“Last year I did really good on this course so I kind of wanted to see what I could
do this year and see if I could beat my PR,” said Witt who was 34 seconds faster
than her time at this meet last season. “It was a strong [race]. The woods part of it
was really secluded so it made me go faster.”
After Witt came in, she was followed by teammates Leslie Chacon-Romero and
Kenzie Parsons in 25th and 26th respectively. Savannah Davis and Jenn Simons in
33rd and 37th place were Cottage Grove’s other scorers. The team fi nished third –
behind Philomath and Thurston – of the six teams that competed.
Not one to worry about times at the beginning of the season, coach Jim Settelmey-
er was happy with the effort he saw from his runners.
“Early in the season it should be about pushing how you are feeling not about
watching the clock… And at this time [it’s about] getting stronger as a runner and
having that confi dence and celebrating. Everybody gets to celebrate because they
made it up the dam,” he said.
Settelmeyer noted that because of the smoke that blew into the area on Friday,
it was unclear if the meet would still happen on Saturday. Regardless if they were
going to be racing or not, he still planned to be out on the course with his team and
he knew that they would have some company.
“I phoned the furthest away coach and had a talk and he said ‘Man, we’re gonna
come. Maybe when we get there we got to walk around the park with you guys and
you know eat some cookies or something.’”
team has now rattled off six
wins in a row. Last Tuesday
they edged out Days Creek
3-2 and beat Umpqua Valley
Christian/Melrose Christian in
straight sets. At a tournament
last weekend they defeated
Perrydale and Trinity Lutheran
3-1 and 3-0 respectively.
Yoncalla Volleyball (2-5)
Last week the Eagles fell
to Elkton 0-3 on the road and
then defeated Glendale at
home 3-0. The win over Glen-
dale snapped their fi ve game
losing streak.
Yoncalla Boys Basketball
Last week Yoncalla’s boys
basketball coach, Bid Van
Loon, stepped down after a
recruiting violation that broke
the OSAA’s undue infl uence
rule. The News Review report-
ed that the coach had given a
ride to a North Douglas High
School student and that he had
given the student-athlete trans-
fer paperwork.
“I can’t exactly comment
on a lot of that,” said Yoncalla
athletic director Alex Kilmer
of the situation. “I can tell you
that we opened up the position
and we are taking applications
for the next couple weeks and
will hopefully have a hire
made by mid-October.”
