In a game where it was no one individual who sealed the win, the players turned to their head coach to cel- ebrate, dousing Mast with what remained in the team water cooler. “That was cool … I thought I could get away, but a couple of them got me from behind and I didn’t have anywhere to go. We’ll have a fun practice on Monday. It might be an ice bath day for ev- erybody. Outdoors,” said Mast, laughing. After reaching the 1A state quar- terfinals in 2016, North Douglas has found themselves eliminated in the Round of 16 each of the last two seasons. They will look to get over the hump against a familiar foe on Saturday, Nov. 9 at 6:30 p.m. as they head to seventh-ranked Hosanna Christian (8-0, 5-0), the team that eliminated them in 2017 and beat them earlier this season 46-6. The Warriors, however, have reason for optimism. The first game came early in the season when North Douglas started 1-3 and was still working out kinks in their scheme and roster. They have since won five consecutive games by an average margin of 20 points. “Hosanna knows us well, we know them well. I certainly think we’ll show better [than the first matchup],” Mast said. Douglas no favors and their five graduating seniors — Nicki Derrick, Rilie-Jo Olds, Na- talie Draeger, Bailey Holcomb and Kaycee Monagon — will end their high school vol- leyball career more prematurely than they would have hoped. From 2016 to 2018, the Warriors lost in the state finals, won the state championship and lost in the semifinals in those three consec- utive years. That kind of recent success can make a first round exit feel like a disappoint- ment, but the string of consistent competitive squads is proof that North Douglas volleyball is an operation that reloads, not rebuilds. If fans are looking for a silver lining, the last time the Warriors graduated at least five varsity seniors, they won the 1A state title the following year. Only time will tell the near fu- ture of volleyball in Drain, but a strong orga- nization and coaching staff along with eight returning players with varsity experience in 2020 should spell reason for optimism. 124 122 121 Low Gross Jake Cox Jerry Singer Gary Rider 72 73 75 Low Net Jim Cunningham John Kallbrier Keith Rowling Larry Zuvich Leon Hayes Phil Hamilton 58 59 63 63 64 64 Closest to the Pin #5 Jake Cox #7 Jerry Pennington #14 Larry Zuvich Longest Putt #13 Jake Cox Public Notices The Lowest Rates in Lane County PUBLIC MEETINGS, TRUSTEE NOTICES, PROBATE, AUCTION & FORECLOSURE NOTICES, AND MORE.
