Committed to fi ghting for
every rebound, it was North
Douglas who capitalized on
hustle plays on Friday night to
beat Lowell 55-41.
“Wednesday we did not box
out very well. First game jit-
ter type of thing, that’s what
it seemed like, we were just
kind of out of sorts. Didn’t
box out so that’s really what
we harped on in practice yes-
terday," said fi rst year head
coach Tyler Vancil.
"We did a lot of rebounding
drills and I said we’ve got to
box out and play defense. If
we don’t box out you’re not
going to win the board battle,
you’re not going to win the
game."
While the Devils side had
more length and size, it was
the Warriors who were able to
get second chance points that
gave them an early lead that
grew throughout the game.
“This group of guys has
a lot of heart. It’s clear, two
games, even in practice you
see it. Guys are diving on the
fl oor in practice to get loose
balls and it shows they’ve got
a lot of heart,” said fi rst year
coach Tyler Vancil.
While Lowell’s three ball
was keeping them in the game
early, a 9-0 run in the second
quarter put North Douglas up
32-18 and the Warriors sus-
tained the lead for the rest
of the game. Led by Koldan
Frieze’s 17 points, the War-
riors utilized a slowed down,
patient offense in their half-
court sets to fi nd good shots.
Carson Burris added 11
points, Jake Gerrard 10 and
Caleb Parks with nine for the
Warriors.
North Douglas won their
season opener against Siletz
Valley 66-47 and defeated
Perrydale 68-53 on Saturday.
“It’s a long season but
couldn’t ask for a better start,”
said Vancil.

It was a fi nal score that was
fi t for a football game: 49-7.
But this was not a battle on the
gridiron. Instead, it was the fi rst
game of the season on the hard-
wood for the Elkton girls team
last Thursday against Reed-
sport.
From the start, it was all Elks
all the time and at the end of the
fi rst quarter the Elks were up

21-0 and had held Reedsport to
just three shots. The Braves fi n-
ished the game shooting two-of-
twenty from the fi eld.
“We had good effort, people
were going to the right places.
We executed what we wanted to
do and we also saw some things
we need to work on which is
what you want to see in that fi rst
game,” said Elkton head coach
Rob Parker.
Elkton’s dominance, that
saw Reedsport go scoreless for
two quarters, came in the form
of their stifl ing full-court press
and their rebounding advantage.
The Elks created 37 Reedsport
turnovers and outrebounded the
Braves 37-16.
Reedsport attempted to press
the Elks but Elkton was just a
pass away from breaking the
press and having an advan-
tage on the offensive end. This
helped lead to 16 points for
Hannah Maxwell and 12 points
added in from Keryn Carnes.
“They came out and we took
them out of their press. I don’t
think they knew what they were
doing,” said Parker.
In the second half Elkton
grew more patient on offense
as they looked to fi nd the best
scoring option.
“That’s what we talked about
at halftime, slow it down, let’s
work the ball, let’s get better
shots. We didn’t need threes,
we didn’t need a lot of outside
shots. We wanted to work for
lay-ins,” said Parker. The Elks
took just one three all game.
Elkton continued their win-
ning ways on Thursday as they
defeated Riddle 64-31. Maxwell
led the team with 24 points.
