On Fri., Oct. 4 in Elkton, North Doug- las raced out to a 42-14 halftime lead, only to be held in check in a defensive second half that saw only one more touchdown by the Elks, ending in a final score of 42-20. Despite a relatively dominant showing on the scoreboard, North Douglas head coach JJ Mast focused on a sloppy, plod- ding second half when talking about his team’s performance. “We need to be more disciplined,” Mast said after the game. “We gotta be dependable play after play instead of just picking one out of every four plays or we’ll get in trouble.

To see how the season could be shaping up, checkout the 2019-20 Game Bird Hunting Forecast. FALL BIRD AND BIG GAME MIGRATIONS MAKE FOR GREAT WILDLIFE VIEWING The fall migration of ducks, geese and other birds is under- way across the state. Both serious birders and casual viewers look forward to this annual passage. Big game animals like deer and elk also are on the move as they shift from summer ranges in the mountains to lower elevations and better forage. BEST BETS FOR WEEKEND FISHING With many outdoor enthusi- asts preoccupied with hunting, this can be a good time to hit the water. Fish like the cooler weather and you’ll like the quieter, slower pace. • The recent rains were enough to get hopes up, but not river levels in most north coast rivers. Instead, look for fish to be stack- ing up in the bays waiting for a big rain to bring river levels up. • Lost Creek Reservoir was stocked this week with legal-size and larger trout, with the cooler temperatures the fishing will be good and both boat ramps are accessible. • Coho continue to move into the Sandy and Clackamas rivers. • Anglers have been catching decent numbers of steelhead on the lower Deschutes River from the mouth to Sherars Falls. • Fly-fishing on the Chewaucan River has been excellent, with one angler landing a 28-inch redband! • The Klamath River below Keno Dam is the best bet for good fishing in the Klamath Basin. NICK SNYDER/COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL Dozens of attendees participated in the community “jump-in” to become the first community users of the fully-renovated aquatic center. By Nick Snyder nsnyder@cgsentinel.com After a long 11-month clo- sure, Cottage Grove finally has their beloved pool back and better than ever. On Tues., Oct. 2 Sue Tay- lor - wife of longtime Cottage Grove High School (CGHS) water polo and swimming coach, Bud Taylor, and a for- mer lifeguard - cut the rib- bon on the new and improved Warren H. Daugherty Aquatic Center in front of a crowd of about 200 eager locals. The ribbon-cutting signaled the end of a lengthy closure that, while inconvenient for lo- cal swimming enthusiasts and youth athletes, brought myriad improvements to a pool fa- cility that desperately needed it after 63 years of continued service to the Cottage Grove community. Even more people filtered through the shiny new lobby throughout the course of the evening and around 300 peo- ple attended the event in total, culminating in a community “jump-in” where dozens of at- tendees, mostly children, leapt into the water in unison to be- come the first members of the public to enjoy the upgraded See POOL 2B Lions stalk Spartans to victory Win places CG second in Sky-Em with season wind- ing down By Nick Snyder nsnyder@cgsentinel.com NICK SNYDER/COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL Matty Ladd (14), Blakely Herbert (9) and Gracie Arnold proved too much for the vis- iting Marist squad, seen celebrating here after the match. Athlete of the Week There are certain rivals - for any team in any sport - that bring an extra level of competitiveness, an added desire to win, for one reason or another. For Cottage Grove, Marist Catholic High School is one of those rivals and at least last Thurs- day, Oct. 3, the Lions volleyball team got the job done. In their second five-setter in five league games, Cottage Grove (8-6 over- all, 4-1 league) prevailed against the vis- iting Spartans (2-9, 2-3) behind contri- Th is week’s athlete of the week is M.J.

In the first five-set match in league play against Siuslaw, head coach Kendra Anderson emphasized the youthfulness of her team and their still-emerging abil- ity to move on quickly from mistakes. This match was evidence of a step in the right direction. “They did a better job of not being tight,” Anderson said of her team after the match. “They let a few things happen and then let it go instead of holding on to it. So they were better about being able to bounce back quicker.” See LIONS 4B Raade speaks to the crowd at the pool opening, just before doors offi cially opened. NICK SNYDER/CG SENTINEL
