While North Douglas was
able to secure a 64-43 win over
Days Creek on Saturday night,
it did not have the feel of a
21-point game. Whether it is
North Douglas’ propensity to
give away leads this season – in-
cluding a Friday night loss after
leading by 11 – or Days Creek’s
ability to get hot at a moment’s
notice, the team was at least
somewhat on edge until the fi-
nal buzzer sounded.
“We’ve had problems with
getting ahead of ourselves and
turning it over and kind of los-
ing some games that maybe we
shouldn’t have because we kind
of got into panic mode and got
ahead of ourselves,” said North
Douglas senior Cal Parks who
finished with game-high 21
points. “So we really tried to
press the brakes at the end of
games, especially when we are
up and have a decent lead so
that we can take care of the ball
and not turn it over.”
The Warriors jumped out to a
19-8 first quarter and advantage.

And when Days Creek looked to
take over in the second, North
Douglas turned to the bench
where senior Justin Smith pro-
vided a spark scoring eight of
his 15 points on the day. The
6-foot-6 Smith, who was named
most improved player on the JV
team last season, used his height
advantage to get easy buckets.
“Just keeping the ball high
and getting layups,” Smith said
about what was working in his
offensive game on the night.
“Keep it high, he’d keep it
high, turn around and just put it
up. It was perfect. This was his
best game, I think that’s a ca-
reer high for him and he played
well,” said Vancil on Smith’s per-
formance.
While the North Douglas lead
had grown to 15-points at the
half, Vancil knew Days Creek
was going to find their offense.
“What we know about [Days
Creek] is that they have very
good shooters,” said Vancil.
“What I told them at halftime,
I said, ‘They’re not shooting
well in the first half, we have a
15-point lead but they’re going
to make a run. They are great
shooters so expect it.’”
Sure enough the run ame
in the third quarter as Blake
Ellis caught fire and hit three
three-pointers in the quarter.
And with Parks on the bench
for North Douglas with foul
trouble, Days Creek contin-
ued to make a push and cut the
lead to nine points in the fourth
quarter.

play and both sets of fans com-
plaining about every whistle
and no-call alike, it was gut-
check time for North Douglas as
they tried to hang on to a lead
this time. It was Parks coming
up big for the Warriors scoring
six straight points as the team
ended the game on a 12-0 run to
snag a victory.
“We were just able to make
a run of our own at the end.
We’ve been ending games where
the other team is finishing the
game with their run of 8-0, 9-0
whatever it may be but this time
we turned it on and we had our
own 8-0 run at the end of the
game that sparked us to have the
defense and have everything put
together for us to win the game,”
said Parks.
The Warriors now prepare for
Yoncalla on Friday at home and
Elkton on the road on Saturday.
“I think we just need to look
at it one game at a time and not
overlook any teams because
last year we happened to look
over teams and then we drop a
couple to Elkton and Yoncalla,
games that we could have won
had we played our best,” said
Parks. “I think we just need to
not do that this year and I think
we can come out with a good
season in league.”
