Cottage Grove was doomed
by scoring just four points in
both the fi rst and third quarter
as they were defeated by Junc-
tion City 44-36 in a tie-breaker
game that determined the Sky-
Em league champion on Tues-
day Feb. 20.
With both teams fi nishing 9-1
in league play and having their
lone league loss come at the
hands of the other, the teams
met at the neutral site of Elmira
High School on Tuesday night.
In the fi rst meeting between
the teams it was the Lions over-
powering the Tigers inside as
they won 43-33. In the second
meeting, Junction City shifted
into a zone-defense throughout
the contest that guided them to a
44-36 victory.
It was the Tigers relying on
the same strategy on Tuesday
as they packed the lane and
ensured that anytime a Cottage
Grove post touched the ball they
were met by two, or even three,
Junction City defenders.
“We were not aggressive
enough on the perimeter when
they were sagging off on us,”
said Cottage Grove head coach
Kevin Yoss. “I thought we
needed to attack more and we
told them to attack more but
we’re not used to doing that and
didn’t, obviously.”
For the Lions, it was pos-
session after possession of the
ball getting stuck on the pe-
rimeter as they looked inside
for an opening. In the opening
quarter of play this hesitancy
manifested itself in six straight
turnovers to start the game for
Cottage Grove. The Tigers
poured it on early and if Cot-
tage Grove’s Ema Gardner had
not come up with four blocks in
the quarter, they could have had
a bigger lead. A three-pointer a
three-pointer at the buzzer pro-
vided them with a comfortable
12-4 advantage after one.
The Lions offensive trepida-
tion melted away in the second
quarter as they attacked the bas-
ket and got into the lane. With
Reilly Kelty rolling to the rim
and Tara Child getting to the
lane and a Madison Bethke
three-pointer, Cottage Grove
put in a 12-0 run to take a 18-14
lead at halftime.
“The bottom line is we just
had to make adjustments,” said
Junction City head coach Liz
Bolton. “And as soon as they
caught on to what we were do-
ing, we would adjust. And you
know, I give a lot of credit to the
kids for having to handle three
and four adjustments on the fl y
and being smart enough to be
able to handle that. I’m not sure
with another group I could have
done that.”
As Cottage Grove once again
became ambivalent with the
ball, Junction City quickly im-
posed their will and opened the
quarter on a 15-2 run led by
Alexa Norris who fi nished the
game with 20 points.
“[Alexa] had the game of her
life. I don’t think I’ve seen that,
I mean, she played an amazing
game on both sides of the ball.
She effected the game in such
a way on both sides of the ball
that I’m just so incredibly proud
of her,” said Bolton.
“I haven’t seen a kid take
over a game like that in our ex-
perience yet this year.”
The Lions refused to go away
easily and mounted a comeback
that got them to within three
points during the fourth quarter
but still struggling to get the ball
to the spots they wanted, Junc-
tion City was able to see the
game out.
“I think they just got com-
placent with what was going on
and just since we haven’t been
doing it that much they just fell
back on what they’ve been do-
ing all year and that was not at-
tacking,” said Yoss.

programs come up to me and
say that was the best game
they’ve played in a long
time. Defi nitely this season
and maybe even last season,”
said Finley.
It was a game of free
throws in the fourth quarter
as Baker went 12-of-14 from
the line including six-of-
seven from freshman point
guard Gabe Gambleton to
seal the victory for the Bull-
dogs. Baker will now face
Marshfi eld on the road next
Saturday.
“After the game, we didn’t
even talk about the Baker
game in the locker-room. We
talked about the season be-
cause it was very emotional.
There was a lot of tears, a lot
of hugs, a lot of I love yous,”
said Finley. “I think it was a
season that these kids will al-
ways remember.”
