It was an off ensive outpour-
ing in the fi rst quarter for the
Yoncalla girls basketball team.
At home on Friday night, the
Eagles went up 18-0 aft er one
quarter of play as they recorded
a 39-19 win over Siletz Valley.
Instead of being wrapped up
by the play in the fi rst quarter,
head coach Nick Edera was
more focused on the team’s two-
point third quarter.
“[Th e fi rst quarter] just kind
of happened, I guess. We’re
not off ensively great yet by any
means and we’ve got to get over
these cold-spells of two, three
[points per] quarter or really
good teams are going to pound
our face in for us,” said Edera.
In the opening quarter, the
Eagles were fl ying around the
court moving the ball, fi ghting
for every rebound and creating
easy buckets. Kaleigh Soto start-
ed the game with six straight
points before defense turned
into easy off ense for Shaunasi
Hardy. Soto fi nished the game
with 11 points while Hardy led
all scorers with 14.
Th e
visiting
Warriors
opened up their scoring with a
three-pointer from Syanne Kai-
ser midway through the second
quarter. Kaiser and her team-
mate Lavonna Butler each fi n-
ished the game with nine points.
In the third quarter Siletz Valley
outscored Yoncalla 6-2 which
had Edera wondering how to
string multiple positive quarters
together instead of having an
too easy, forget about doing it a
second time. I think it’s just con-
sistency, we’ve got to get better.”
With two weeks off with no
games, the Eagles will open
league play on January 4 at Elk-
ton. And before then, Edera is
looking to improve across the
board.

imbalance.
“I am still trying to fi gure
that out because we do it very,
very good. But a lot of it is in
fast breaks and stuff we like to
run right down the middle and
block everyone else out. We fi -
nally ran it outside and we were
able to fi nd somebody,” he said.
“Once we do it right it’s like it’s
For football, Cottage Grove’s

will penetrate it and lay the ball
in. We’ve got to help each other
on defense a lot better than we
were. Off ensively, we’ve to move
the ball a lot better,” he said.
“We’re just standstill with it and
let the zone catch back up. So
we’ve got a lot to work on going
into break.”
