For a team with such a domi- nant recent history, North Doug- las volleyball (13-6 overall, 6-1 league) has already seen its rel- ative share of ups and downs throughout this 2019 season. It was a day of highs and lows last Sat., Sept. 28 as the Warriors participated in the all-day McK- enzie RPI Tournament in Vida, Ore., ultimately splitting their four matches and ending the day with a loss in the consolation fi- nal to fourth-ranked Damascus Christian (13-2, 4-0). “They always battle. I’m always proud of them because they don’t ever just give up and we haven’t done that all year, no matter if we’re down by 10, they’re fighting the whole way till the game’s over,” said head coach Emily Reed after the tournament. North Douglas started the day locked in. Taking on the same Damascus team they would lose to later in the day, the Warriors came out focused and energized, defeating the Eagles in straight sets, 2-0. “When we played Damascus in the morning, that was a dominant performance. Everyone played great and they were loud and had energy,” said Reed, though the team still had a long day ahead of them. “I know they were tired by the end of the day. I get it, we played four matches, but when we played Damascus again we were like a See VOLLEYBALL 2B Lions remain undefeated in league play Oct. 7 • CG boys soccer vs. Marist, 7 p.m. Oct. 8 • CG girls soccer @ Marist, 7 p.m. • CG VB @ Siuslaw, 6:30 p.m. ODFW R EGIONAL F ISHING R EPORT www.dfw.state.or.us/RR COTTAGE GROVE POND (ROW RIVER NATURE PARK POND): trout, warmwater species Was last stocked the week of April 8 with 1,500 legal-size rainbow trout.

NICK SNYDER/CG SENTINEL Junior forward/midfielder Sawyer Weybright was central to much of the action in last week’s league opener against Marshfield. By Nick Snyder nsnyder@cgsentinel.com The Sky-Em season is getting off to a particularly successful start for many of the fall Cot- tage Grove sports teams. In their first league clash of the year last Tuesday, Sept. 24 the Cottage Grove girls soccer team defeated the Marshfield Pirates handily at Don King Field by a final score of 4-0. Coming off of back-to-back close losses to Astoria and Phoenix, the Lions (4-4 overall, 2-0 league) bounced back and took care of business against a Marshfield team that has man- aged only one victory thus far this season (1-6-1, 1-1). Continuing a trend from other recent games, the team seemed to play with a touch of anxiety out of the gate, unsure of their next move when find- ing themselves with the ball in space. However, the girls re- laxed after junior forward Saw- yer Weybright tidily placed a ball in the bottom left corner of goal in the 24th minute of the first half. The second goal would come only a minute later when ju- nior midfielder Chanel Leach scored again, allowing the Li- ons to take a 2-0 lead into half- time. See SOCCER 4B Breakouts on offense not enough for Lions By Nick Snyder nsnyder@cgsentinel.com In what has been a tough season thus far for the Lions, things didn’t get much easier in their first league matchup of the year. Last Friday, Sept. 27 the visiting Marshfield Pirates secured an easy victory, win- ning 78-29 in both teams’ first Sky-Em league game. The Pirates began the game sloppy, pushing the opening kickoff out-of- bounds for a penalty and exhibiting some confusion and miscommunication on defense. The mistakes, how- ever, were quickly corrected. Marshfield jumped out to a 28-0 lead early in the sec- ond quarter on the backs of two touchdown plays of 50- plus yards. Facing another deep hole and the nearly im- possible task of competing with only 14 players in uni- form for the game, Cottage Athlete of the Week See FOOTBALL 2B NICK SNYDER/CG SENTINEL Senior running back Daetrayl Berry had one of his best games of the year, including a 42-yard rushing score in the first half. Th is week’s athlete of the week is Jacob Dunn, the sole returning all-league player on the Lions, who had three receiving touchdowns last week against Dunn, a senior, is seen here hauling in one of a number of high- light-reel catches he made against the Pirates.
