continued from B1
fi rst game as the Warriors put-
ting together a hitting clinic to
run away with a 12-0 win in
fi ve innings.
In the third inning alone,
North Douglas scored seven
runs off of four hits and fi ve
walks. Th e team fi nished with
14 hits in the game includ-
ing two from Austin Frieze,
Koldan Frieze, Tyler Kallinger
and Carson Burris. Caleb
Parks was walked three times
and had two stolen bases.
Burris pitched four innings
and struck out fi ve batters.
Koldan Frieze pitched in the
fi ft h inning and struck out two
batters to end the game.
While the Elks lost the game,
Shaw was comfortable conced-
ing the win knowing he could
throw his ace, Luzier, back on
the mound for game two in
the hopes of a better result. It
worked out in the fi nal game as
it was Elkton’s turn to 10-run
their opponent as they won
11-1.
With Luzier on the mound
for the third time in as many
games, he, much like the fi rst
game, found success and was
able to control the game from
the start. North Douglas was
limited to just fi ve hits and Lu-
zier struck out three batters.
Aft er a scoreless game head-
ing into the bottom of the third
inning, the fl oodgates opened

up with an outpouring of runs
for the Elks.
Freshman Cooper Peters,
the seventh hitter in the line-
up, started the inning off for
Elkton with a double to deep
center fi eld.
“Th e book on the bottom of
my lineup is they’re all fresh-
man. If you survive the top half
of my lineup, the second half is
out,” said Shaw.
“But my freshman all of a
sudden they start to believe a
little bit. You know, they see
other people hit the ball. I
think Cooper (Peters) hits one
and all of a sudden – if Cooper
hits that I can hit that.”
Aft er Peters’ double, fi ve of
the next six batters all hit sin-
gles for the Elks and the bats
were rolling as the team
recorded seven runs in the
inning. In his second at-bat
of the inning, Peters hit a

triple to score two more runs.
Aft er an impassioned plea
from Davis between innings,
North Douglas was able to
get one run on the board. But
it was not enough as the Elks
once again found success with
the bats and with hits from
Doudna, Jarrett Wiliams and
Jase Billman were able to score
four more runs in the inning to
secure a 10-run lead and lock
in a victory.
“Man, you can’t say enough
about those kids,” said Shaw.
To wrap the regular season,
the Elks will face Oakridge,
a team that currently rests in
third place with a one-game
advantage in the standings on
Elkton.
“So we need one from
Oakridge to put (North Doug-
las) behind us because we won
the head-to-head matchup. If
we get two from Oakridge, all
of a sudden crazy stuff starts to
happen,” said Shaw.
For North Douglas, the road
to the league playoff s is not any
easier as they now face Oak-
land. Th e Oakers are current-
ly second in league and are a
game out of fi rst place.
“Well, you got to cliché it
and go one game at a time.
And we’ve got to realize the top
10 teams in the state we’ve ei-
ther beaten them or we’ve been
right there at the fi nish line,”
said Davis.
“And we’ve just got to fi nd
it within us to fi nish them and
not be snake bit all the time.”
Last Saturday the Elkton track
and fi eld team competed at dis-
tricts at Sutherlin High School
while the North Douglas/Yoncalla
team competed at the 2A level in
Lost River.
Th e Elks saw underclassmen
Margaret Byle and Sadie Olson
both qualify for the state meet.
Byle, a freshman, is headed to Hay-
ward aft er taking fi rst in the 100.
Heading into the meet, she has the
second fastest time in all of 1A. Byle
took third in both the 200 and 400.
Olson found success as she won
the discus with a throw of 104 feet,
5 inches and took second in shot
put.
In Lost River, the Eagles quali-
fi ed their girls 4x100 relay team of
Kaleigh Soto, Samantha Baker, Rlie
Jo Olds and Justice Cox. Shaunasi
Hardy is headed to state aft er fi n-
ishing second in javelin.
On the boys’ side, Laaron Lopez
was the lone qualifi er as he won the
high jump at 5-10.
