It was a telling start when less
than 10 seconds into Saturday’s
game Yoncalla found them-
selves down 4-0 to Days Creek.
It was a sign of the things to
come as the Eagles fell to ninth
ranked Wolves at home 42-18.
From the start it was Days
Creek getting open lay-ups,
generally off of turnovers, to
create an insurmountable lead.
Moriah Michaels led the team
with 20 points and Carlie Doss-
man added 17 for the road team.
“We’re so young and so ex-
cited in the fi rst two quarters
we just forget what we’re do-
ing,” said Yoncalla’s head coach
Nick Edera about his six-person
team.
Down 27-9 at the half, the Ea-
gles came out and continued to
shoot.
“We shoot open shots. I en-
courage them, any open shot
you get, we’re going to take
them and we’re going to stick
by that,” said Edera.
“We shoot, roughly, proba-
bly about ten percent and that’s
probably really generous to be
honest with you. We don’t shoot
real well.”
Shanausi Hardy led the team
with 10 points.
While the shots were not fall-
ing, fewer second half turnovers
resulted in a more controlled
game. With a minute to go in the
third quarter Yoncalla had held
Days Creek to fi ve points while
they had four. After a banked in
three followed by a steal and a
lay-up, the Wolves lead was up
to 24. In the fourth quarter, each
team scored four points.
After the game, Edera com-
plimented the team on their play
late in the game.
“We sat in a circle, I told them
I love them and that effort they
gave in the last fi ve minutes of
the fourth quarter is the one we
need to give every minute of the
game,” he said. “They fi nally
got fi red up when things didn’t
go their way. They looked like a
completely different team, and I
told them, they want to act like
that we can live with that team
the rest of the year and be okay,
they show that fi re every night.”
Now 0-2 in league play, the
road does not get easier for the
Eagles as their next two games
are against eleventh ranked
Elkton and fi fth ranked North
Douglas.

“We have, I think, a lot of different options besides our posts. I
mean, we do have some quick guards to go with that so we can do
a few different things and I just, I’m pleased the way we fought
back but disappointed that we couldn’t fi nish the deal,” said Yoss.
Child fi nished the game with 10 points for the Lions.
On the ensuing inbound, Stayton went deep and looked to have
an open lane for a lay-up but it was Child again coming up with a
steal. The Lions couldn’t get a shot off and a kicked ball call gave
the ball back to Stayton with 6.4 left on the clock.
The Lions then fouled Genevieve Frith who went to the line to
shoot two. Stayton put no one on the block to rebound the free
throw so that they could set up their defense. Cottage Grove had
two girls ready to get a rebound but after Frith missed a pair, she
came up with her own rebound and was able to dribble out the
clock and seal the win.
“We just didn’t execute. I don’t know what else to say other
than that. We just didn’t execute,” said Yoss on his team’s inabil-
ity to get the last rebound.
The Lions will now begin league play on Friday at home
against Sisters (3-9).

Doomed by shooting woes
that included scoring just 10
points in the second half, Yon-
calla fell to Days Creek on Sat-
urday night at home despite the
standout play of Ted Wickman.
Wickman led the Eagles with
29 of the team’s 37 points and
hit all but one fi eld goal, a fast-
break lay-up, for the team.
“I think the younger guys
need to get used to playing
back to back games on back to
back nights. Early on we missed
wide-open stuff that we would
normally hit. That was really the
difference,” said Yoncalla head
coach Jarred Eakin.
As Yoncalla missed shot af-
ter shot at the rim, it was the
Wolves hitting fi ve threes and
taking over in the fi rst half. Get-
ting their lead up to as much as
eight, it was then Wickman who
then mounted a charge of his
own. After hitting back-to-back
threes to cut the lead to one, he
found a rhythm inside and was
able to get to the line to put the
team up at the break.
After playing the entirety of
the fi rst half, Wickman found
himself in foul trouble in the
third quarter that brought him
to the bench for over four min-
utes. Losing any sense of an
offensive rhythm and without
a looming shot blocker on de-
fense, the Eagles fell behind.
“Ted’s not always going to
be there and these guys need to
learn how to play without him,”
said Eakin.
After a three-point third quar-
ter, Wickman hit a three-pointer
to start the fourth for the Eagles
to cut the defi cit to two but then

the Wolves had a steady stream
of free throws. Days Creek went
11-of-12 from the free throw
line in the quarter and ended the
game on a 13-3 run to fi nish off
the Eagles.
“I’m still really confi dent in
them, we still got a lot of bas-
ketball,” said Eakin.
