COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL DECEMBER 5, 2018
Elkton junior Kieryn Carnes.
TIP-OFF from B1
“It’s good that we, as a group,
responded because there was a
place now to build from,” said
Davis. Warriors are now hoping
that Nicki Derrick and Rilie-Jo
Olds, a pair of key players from
a season ago, work their way
back from injury and into the
rotation.
“You think once we get those
two kids back and league gets
here, we’ll round into something
that’s competitive,” said Davis.

After a mid-week loss last
Wednesday against Perrydale
to start the season, the Elks
started to find their footing on
Friday with a close win over
WVC. Aspyn Luzier’s 10 points
and 15 rebounds paired with
11-points from Kieryn Carnes
were enough to secure a four-
point victory.
But as the weekend went on,
the team kept getting better.
“So if you saw us Wednesday
and then saw us last night, even
though we won yesterday we
still didn’t play very well, but
this was a totally different team,”
Parker said of his squad that
played Monroe to a close game.
After seeing the Dragons beat
North Douglas the night before,
Parker was hoping to slow the
game down and keep it under
30 if his team was going to have
a chance. The game went off
script as a frenetic pace paired
with threes from Luzier saw the
North Douglas senior Caleb Parks.
Elkton senior Mason Cox.
Elks with a four-point lead in
the second quarter. At halftime
it was Monroe, taking advantage
of Elkton foul trouble, with a 27-
21 advantage.
After Elkton cut their deficit
to two, the Dragons opened up
the scoring as they finished off
the quarter with a 16-4 run to
put the game out of reach. Af-
ter changing their defense and
reinserting Alexis Halstead into
the defense despite four fouls,
the Elks began to make a run of
their own.
Despite missed from the free
throw lines, the Elks scored nine
straight points in the quarter be-
fore a Monroe’s first field goal of
the quarter came with 1:11 left
in the game. Despite late game
makes, a made Monroe free
throw put the game away for the
as Zach Young finished off the
night with 38 points. For North
Douglas, Vancil saw it as a game
of learning experiences and
learning from their errors. Cal
Parks had 27 points for the War-
riors while Jake Gerrard had 13
and Koldan Freize added 11.
On Saturday the Warriors
rolled through WVC for a
30-point victory. And this time
their scoring started down low
with Tanner Parks. The 5’11
forward played down low scor-
ing 10 of the team’s 22 points in
the first quarter. He finished the
game with 15 points.
“I said, keep going to him.
They can’t guard him down
there. He’s doing a great job so
we just kept doing that,” said
Vancil. “He was kind of a role
player last year and he put in a
lot of work over the offseason…
He plays bigger than 5’11. He’s
really strong in the post and just
goes hard. It’s nice to be able to
have a guy like that.”
Dragons.
“You don’t ever like to lose,
but if we had to lose, that was
okay. Preseason, that’s a good
team,” said Parker. “They’ve got
good size. We do some different
things and I thought we reacted
well, I thought we played really
good defense. For the most part
we’re still learning.”

Game 2: NDHS 68, WVC 38
While it was a losing effort on
night one against Monroe, head
coach Tyler Vancil didn’t quite
see it that way.
“It wasn’t one where you lose
and it’s like, ‘Ugh, that really
sucks.’ But it was ‘Hey, we lost,
but it didn’t really feel like a loss
because we took so many pos-
itives away.’ So that was nice,”
said Vancil.
In an up and down game that
saw North Douglas twice rally
back from double-digit deficits
the Dragons came out ahead

Frieze added 12 points on the
game.
While the Warriors got a big
win, now they look to clean up
the mistakes.
“We’ve got to take care of the
ball. Even tonight, yeah we won
big but we had too many turn-
overs. Just mental mistakes,”
said Vancil.
Elkton Boys:
Game 1: Elkton 36, WVC 29
Game 2: Monroe 67, Elkton 46
The constant refrain with Elk-
ton is improvement.
“Just keep improving. We’ve
got some habits that we need
to break and how we respond
to things we just got to keep
battling and keep improving. I
think we’re seeing that in every
game,” said head coach Gary
Trout.
On Friday, they started the
weekend not just with improve-
ment but with a win as they
took down WVC with a strong
fourth-quarter performance.
But on Saturday the fast-
paced Dragons proved to be too
much to handle as they opened
the lead early and never backed
off. Zach Young had 22 points
for Monroe while Mason Cox
led the Elks with 14 points. Aus-
tin Luzier added 13 for Elkton.
“It’s about what I expected
as far as where we’re at. I’m re-
ally pleased with how they’re
responding,” said Trout. “We’re
making progress and we’re cor-
recting things. It’s just a matter
of how quickly we can improve
and how much we can improve.”
