2B COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL OCTOBER 17, 2018 Second quarter surge secures Elkton win By Zach Silva zsilva@cgsentinel.com While Elkton was able to score a 42-16 victory at home over Yoncalla on Friday afternoon, the 26-point margin of victory was not indicative of how the game felt to the coaches. “It always felt close,” said Elk- ton’s head coach Bill Shaw. “Although, the score didn’t show it in the first half I thought we played with them,” said Yon- calla’s Matt Bragg. Despite the final score, it was the visiting Eagles (2-3) who appeared to set the tone early as they came up with a goal line stand in the first quarter to stop the Elks (6-1). Yoncalla began the drive from their own one- yard line but on the first play of the drive Elkton’s Spencer Moore and Trentyn Halstead forced a fumble that was recov- ered in the end zone by Mark Russell for a touchdown. The Eagles responded by put- ting together a drive that saw them march down field to tie the game behind a Dominic Aguilar touchdown run from a yard out. With the game all-tied up, the Elks scored 26-straight points stretching to the start of the third quarter to take a com- fortable lead. It started with a Moore 65- yard touchdown run. Moore finished with 178 yards on the day. Elkton’s Halstead added 106 yards on the ground and one rushing and receiving touch- down. “I think our blocking helped a lot. Without blockers, without Jase and Mark, pulling guards, it really doesn’t work and they did an amazing job and I’m really grateful that they’re in front of me protecting me,” said Halstead. On the ensuing Elkton drives, Yoncalla ramped up their run-defense and so the team had to change their course of action. “I’ll be honest, initially my plan was to do what we do best and just run the football. Boy they showed us four man front and five-man front until they re- ally throttled our chance to just run the ball in the line of scrim- mage,” said Shaw. “So we were forced to throw a little bit and we really haven’t thrown that much all year.” Quarterback Austin Luzier found Halstead and Mason Cox through the air for scores to help extend the Elkton lead to 34-8. After scoring on the first drive of the second half, the team was following the halftime instruc- tions that Shaw had laid out. “I told them that we need to come out at half and the way to put a good team away is to come out, get a Jaydn Woody catches a touchdown pass for Elkton score and on Friday. Elkton. then get a The Elks will face Mapleton stop and then get the ball back on offense and start to run the (3-4) next week at home in their clock,” said Shaw. “And that real- final game in the season before ly causes peoples confidence to they head to the playoffs. “If we’re going to be a legiti- wane. And so we got the score and I was trying to holler at mate team in the playoffs, we can’t have goofy penalties and them, ‘We’re halfway there.’” But after a Moore fumble, we can’t have turnovers,” said Yoncalla’s Dominic Aguilar Shaw. The Eagles host Oakridge scrambled in for a touchdown. After a successful two-point next Friday in their final game conversion, the game had a dif- and Bragg is looking for the ferent energy with Yoncalla now team to get back to their roots. “We’ve got to get back to the down 34-16. The Eagles got a pivotal fourth down stop on basics of working for each oth- defense heading into the fourth er. Like I said, that’s our calling quarter. Now starting to move card, we’re not always the most on offense the team was tripped talented team but we do things up after a holding call set up 3rd together,” said Bragg. “So we’re and 20. The Eagles were stopped going to look at that and figure and fourth down which led to out exactly what it is. Back to a Jaydn Woody touchdown re- basics next week.” ception to seal the victory for Caring for your Health WE OFFER: •Spine Care •Orthopedic/Sports Rehab •Job Injuries •MVA •Foot Care •Chronic Pain Syndrome •Stabilization Therapy •Manual Therapy •McKenzie Method •Women’s Health •Pelvic Floor Rehab •Aquatic Therapy Cottage Grove Physical Therapy • FREE & unlimited access to Anytime Fitness Club during clinic hours • Lunchtime, evening, early morning appointments • Convenient location within the Safeway Plaza ???
