COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL | WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 2019 | 3B Local Sports Wrap-up Cottage Grove Volleyball: After finishing third overall in Sky-Em League play, the fifteenth-ranked Lions (11-12 overall, 6-4 league) traveled to thirteenth-ranked Stayton (10-8, 6-6) on Oct. 29 with the winner advancing to the OSAA 4A State Championships Round of 16. Cottage Grove came from behind to take it in five sets, winning 3-2 (23- 25, 18-25, 25-21, 26-24, 15-13). This set up a difficult Round of 16 matchup for the Lions against second-ranked Sisters (24-3, 11-1) on Nov. 2. Cottage Grove made the long drive over the Cascades and ultimately lost to the Outlaws in straight sets, 3-0 (25-16, 25-22, 25-20), ending the Lions’ season earlier than they had hoped. Cottage Grove can now look forward to the 2020 vol- leyball season when they will return all 10 varsity play- ers from this year’s squad. Girls soccer: The sixteenth-ranked Lions (8-6, 6-2) took on the second-ranked North Valley Knights (10- 2-2, 8-1-1) last night in Grants Pass. This was Cottage Grove’s second year in a row making it to the OSAA State Championships Round of 16. To see results, visit www.osaa.org/teams/28927. Elkton Volleyball: On Oct. 26 the Elks (13-10, 9-5) upset Camas Valley in the Skyline League playoffs 3-1 (25-18, 25-13, 16-25, 25-22) to finish third in the standings and earn a chance at a play-in game to reach the OSAA State Championships Round of 16. That opportunity came against fourteenth-ranked Central Christian (17-6, 11-2). Elkton traveled over the pass to Redmond only to lose to the Tigers in straight sets, 3-0 (25-14, 25-21, 25-17). After making the state playoffs three consecutive years from 2015-2017, the Elks will look to get back on track in 2020 with seven of their 11 varsity players set to return. Yoncalla Football: After starting the 2019 season 2-2, Yoncalla dropped their next three games to put the playoffs just out of reach. They ended the season 4-5 overall and 2-3 in league play, finishing fourth in Special District 1’s South Division, one spot out of a chance to compete in a play-in game to reach the Round of 16. Nonetheless, the Eagles got a chance to end the sea- son on a high note last Friday in a non-league matchup against the Mohawk Mustangs (3-6, 2-3), the fourth- place finisher in the North Division. Yoncalla earned an easy victory, beating the visitors 60-6. Despite not getting a chance at the postseason, the Eagles won their final two games by a combined 111-12 and are set to return all but three of their varsity players in the 2020 season. XC from B1 year],” said head coach Jim Settelmeyer. “But he was going to come and help Jaden through to state. I’m proud of that kind of behavior, individuals be- ing able to celebrate what they accomplished today, but also what other peo- ple did.” But as Talley rounded the course at a slower pace than usual, it was Owens who pulled ever closer to the front, including a final kick around the last 300 meters of the LCC track. The race was won handily by Marist senior Wiley Watts in 16:11.6, but it was Owens’ last- ditch push that carried him beyond Marshfield senior Aaron Prince mere steps from the finish line. Owens bested his previ- ous personal record by over 30 seconds, finishing in 16:33.5, less than a sec- ond ahead of Prince. Tall- ey ended up eighteenth in 17:41.9. The humble, if timid freshman downplayed the unexpected excitement of the moment after the race when asked about his re- sult. “Just like always, I trained, and then I have Jimmy Talley, so he helps me a lot. But, yeah just [Jim] Settelmeyer giving us the coaching we need.” When Settelmeyer, Tal- ley, Owens and the rest of the Lions’ team looked up at the final standings, they saw their prized freshman’s name there amongst a sea of upper- classmen. Cottage Grove cross country already had rea- son to be excited for 2019 and beyond with their largest crop of underclass- men runners ever, but having a star - particular- ly one with the makeup of Owens - is a particularly sweet cherry on top. “He definitely is a very positive, humble, lead-by-example kind of guy,” Settelmeyer said ef- fusively of Owens. “What can you say? He listens carefully when you ask him to help out others and does things that you hope will help him. It’s ODFW vigilant in keeping aquatic invasive species out of Oregon ODFW technicians inter- cepted and decontaminated two inflatable kayaks at the Ontario Watercraft Inspec- tion station Sunday. The kay- aks were just in Lake Powell at or near Bullfrog Marina, and the next planned launch site was the Deschutes River. “Lake Powel is infested with invasive quagga mus- sels and the kayaks had sand and broken quagga mussel shells from the lake in them. Had they launched in the Deschutes without being de- contaminated, mussel tissue from the broken shells would be shed in the water, giving us a positive result for the presence of quagga mussels during environmental DNA sampling,” said Rick Boater, Invasive Species and Wildlife Integrity Supervisor. eDNA is a useful tool in warning ODFW staff that quagga and zebra mussels may be present, triggering monitoring crews to sample the waterbody and verify results of the eDNA test. If mussels are present, crews can respond quicker and possibly take actions to pre- vent or slow establishment of the aquatic invasive species. “Our watercraft inspec- tion sites are critical to keep- ing these and other aquatic invasive species out of Ore- gon and the Pacific North- west, and why Clean, Drain, Dry is so important before launching any type of water- craft. This season, we inter- cepted 14 watercraft contain- ing quagga or zebra mussels,” Boatner said.

For the girls, freshman Helen Leal-Coronel best- ed her previous record by over 14 seconds with a time of 24:25.5, which is also a nearly three-min- ute improvement over her early season times. Soph- omore Piper Youngmayr (25:06.3) was 26 seconds faster than her previ- ous best and fellow sec- ond-year Hannah Cook (25:19.2) improved by nearly a full minute. Along with Owens and Thuesen, the boys also got personal bests from sophomore Andy Wi- ley (19:52.6) and junior Maycol Pablo Herrera (20:01.1). The OSAA 4A State Championships will be held Sat., Nov. 9 at LCC. The first race begins at 11:45 a.m..

Ju- nior Jaden Thuesen, who only began running a few years ago and now has a top-25 district finish on his resume, is excited by the progress he’s made and the further growth he hopes to achieve next year. “I’m hoping to try and get a minute faster than what I am now. I wanna finish off my school run- ning career somewhere around 17 minutes,” Thuesen said. “Since I joined sports so late, I don’t really have any awards for anything so I think it would be nice to have some recognition, an award that just says, ‘Hey, I’m pretty decent at this.’” Decent, outstanding, unexpected. Whatever the choice of words, the district championships tercraft; 14 of those contain- ing quagga or zebra mussels and 368 with other types of bio-fouling such as Eurasian milfoil were decontaminat- ed. By law, anyone haul- ing watercraft of any type whether motorized or not must stop at an open water- craft inspection station for a free inspection which typi- cally takes about 10 minutes. If invasive species are found, the vessel will be decontami- nated on-site for free. Quagga mussels can live around 21 days outside of the water, depending on temperature and humidity. They easily establish in riv- ers and lakes, causing severe ecological damage to those systems along with econom- ic damage to water systems. Watercraft inspection stations are located at ports of entry around Oregon with most open from April through early September. The Ashland and Ontario stations, which get the most traffic are open daily year- Round from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Invasive species is a Key Conservation Issue for Ore- gon’s Conservation Strategy.
