game kind of team. And we’ll
compete, especially with
Marist and Junction City
and Elmira, we play great
for like three or four innings
and then we have one inning
that costs us the game and we
can’t recover,” said Toy who
used the game against Cot-
tage Grove as a way to work
on diff erent situations.
With two weeks left in the
league season, the Lions are
looking to fi nish the season
out on a positive note, in
whatever form that may take.
“Just keeping our ener-
gy up and that’s kind of the
main focus, if we bring the
energy, the rest will come,”
said Frieze. “Just that in-
ner-strength that they have
and that growth that they’ve
come together and the build-
ing of that team spirit and
helping to keep lift ing each
other up. When one person
gets down, don’t let it drag
everyone down. Everyone
helps to pick that person
back up. So I think that’s kind
of the main focus going for-
ward and whatever we’ve got
to do.”
On Friday the Lions will
host Siuslaw (1-14, 1-8) at
home in a double-header.
Th e Tigers did exactly that
as they paired four hits with
three walks and a Cottage
Grove pitching change to
tally up six runs in the in-
ning and take the lead.“We
were up 8-3 and it never felt
comfortable. It never real-
ly does but especially with
[Junction City],” said Geisz-
ler. “It didn’t feel like aft er
the game that we squandered
one away. Th ey came back
and beat us, they did what
they do. Sometimes it feels
defl ating aft er a game, man,
we just gave it away but it
didn’t feel like that… We had
chances. So as bad as losing
feels, they just beat us.”
Heading into Friday’s
double-header
against
Marshfi eld (5-11, 2-7), the
Lions knew what they had to
do to keep their postseason
dreams alive.
“We knew that it was a
must-win and we didn’t
hide that from [the team].
We needed to practice like
Friday is our two must-win
games and they are and we’re
not going to beat around
the bush,” said Geiszler. “So
we’re either going to come
and play well or we’re not.
It’s up to you. And they came
and I thought we played
great.”
With Sayles throwing 108
pitches on Tuesday, it meant
he was unavailable for Fri-
day. Returning from injury,
senior Conner Browning
got the starting nod in game
one. In fi ve innings of work
Browning struck out three
and gave up seven hits as the
Lions cruised along to a 15-5
victory.
“He was good. He was im-
pressive. I feel like having
him, we have two or three
more wins on the season. At
least one more win in league
with him being healthy. But
now he’s back and that’s a
good feeling to have and
it really helps us down the
stretch,” said Geiszler.
Cottage Grove’s bats were
also active in game one led
by junior Kellen Bennett
with three hits and a pair
of RBIs. Iverson Bascue and
Hunter Sharkey each record-
ed two hits in the game.
In game two, it was Sim-
mons pitching a complete
game as the Lions scored
a 6-3 win. While not the
dominant game-one perfor-
mance, Cottage Grove was
able to score when it mat-
tered as they recorded two
runs in both the fi ft h and
sixth inning.

planning
kids’
summer
Camp now
M
any families spend winter
figuring out how to chase away
cabin fever and endure frigid
temperatures until spring and summer
mercifully return. Parents thinking
ahead to swimming pools and days
lounging on the beach can put their
daydreams to practical use by planning
ahead for their youngsters’ summer
vacations.
Youth summer camps can bridge the
gap in care between the end of school
and the day when classes resume. Due
in part to high demand, parents who
want to place their kids in summer rec
programs or summer camps should
being vetting such programs and
camps well in advance of summer. The
following are a handful of tips for moms
and dads who want their kids to have
fun and fulfilling summers.
• Ask for recommendations. Speak
with fellow parents and trusted friends
about where they send their children.
Personal recommendations can be very
helpful, providing firsthand insight into
a particular camp or program. Schedule
appointments to visit camps that fall
within your budget. Take your son or
daughter along so he or she can get a
sense of what camp will be like.
• Explore all options. Camps come
in more flavors than ever before.
Certain camps may be faith-based
ministries while others may focus on
particular sports. Band camps and art
camps may appeal to creative kids.
• •

•"
Also, there are plenty of general-interest
camps that offer various activities
without narrowing in on any particular
one. Parents may need to choose
between a sleepaway camp or day
camps, depending on which camp
experience they want for their children.
• Inquire about camp schedules.
While many camps are flexible,
day camps do not have the
same level of flexibility as after-
school programs. Arrangements
will need to be made if care
is required after regular camp hours.
Speak with camp staff to see which
types of after-hours programs, if any,
are available.
• Determine your camp budget.
As varied as program offerings
may be, camps also can vary greatly
with regard to cost. Government-run
camps may be less expensive than
those offered by private companies.
Day camps typically cost less than those
that provide room and board. Find out
if a particular organization subsidizes
a portion of camp costs. Scouting
programs often have a dedicated camp
and may offer affordable options for
scouts. Martial arts schools and dance
centers frequently offer camp schedules.
If camp seems out of reach, look
into local summer recreation programs
at parks or schools. Such programs
may not be as extensive as those offered
by camps, but they can quell kids’
boredom and keep children occupied
during the day.
In addition to camp, remember to
plan for some free days so children can
just enjoy some
downtime. Such days can break up
the monotony of a routine and provide
kids and families time to relax together.
Summer camp may be far off, but
it is never too early to start making
summer plans, including finding camps
and other activities for kids.
