Lions

ons starters that were too
much for North Valley
to handle. Sophomore
Gracie Arnold and ju-
nior Matty Ladd — Cot-
tage Grove’s twin towers
in the post — combined
to score 32 of the Lions’
65 total points and ju-
nior point guard Mikaela
Blomquist, despite scor-
ing only nine points, was
the defensive and offen-
sive cog that made the
whole team go.
“I feel, as I tell her, I
have great confidence in
her being our floor gen-
eral,” Eastburn said of his
point guard. “She does a
great job, has really good
skills, smart kid, under-
stands the game … She
really puts us in good
positions out there.”
As the season pro-
gresses and games be-
come more meaningful,
the Lady Lions nonethe-
less have things to work
on. Many of the players
on the basketball roster
participate in volleyball
as well — a team defined
by its talent as well as its
youth, a kind of inexpe-
rience that would rear
its head in tight games
against quality oppo-
nents. So far in basket-
ball, Eastburn is noticing
similar trends that he
hopes to stamp out early
in the year.
“They were a little bit
more relaxed tonight.
When we’ve played some
tougher teams [like
Gladstone and Hidden
Valley], they’ve pressed
a little bit and that’s hurt
them. They’ve gotten
into their own heads, but

they have the talent and
the ability to be a good
ball club this season, and
they know that. When
they come to practice,
they always give their
best effort … so the op-
portunity to get better
is there and I know they
will.”
Seth Hutchison’s boys
team, itself a young ros-
ter, is also still working
out some kinks. Many of
the players are still get-
ting used to playing with
one another in a game
that rewards familiar-
ity and team play. The
start to the season has
been less than desired,
but there are five under-
classmen firmly in the
team’s playing rotation,
so the outlook for this
season and beyond could
change quickly.
Both Lions teams head
out today, Dec. 19, for
the three-day Seaside
Holiday Tournament at
Seaside High School be-
fore beginning their two-
week holiday break.
not much you can do,” said head coach
Rob Parker of their shaky first half.
“But we made some adjustments [at
halftime]. That’s what got us all the
steals in the second half and led to easy
baskets.”
The girls exited the locker room
focused for the rest of the game, out-
scoring the Devils 21-2 in the third
quarter and taking an insurmountable
25-point lead into the final period.
“They made an adjustment and then
we had to make one too,” Parker said.
“That’s why it’s nice to have those se-
niors, because sometimes they know
what to do, how to adjust before I say
it.”
For the Lowell game, those seniors
happened to be Kieryn Carnes and Sa-
die Olson. Carnes led the way with 15
points, two rebounds, three assists and
six steals while Olson contributed 10
points, seven rebounds and four steals.
After losing game one of the tourna-
ment to Reedsport, 57-33, the Elkton
boys (2-5) were suddenly looking to
break a two-game losing streak in their
Saturday matchup with Lowell.
The Elks held a 15-point lead late
in the third quarter, but Lowell senior
Taysian Williamson spurred a come-
back, scoring 10 of his 15 total points
in the second
half and cut-
ting the lead
to one with
10
seconds
remaining in
the game.

Devils a chance to take the lead, but
their final attempt failed. Lowell fouled
one more time, sending Clevenger to
the line who hit one of two with under
one second on the clock, sealing the
win 43-41.
“That was a young team trying to
learn how to win a close game,” said
head coach Gary Trout. “Even our
older players don’t have a lot of expe-
rience, so this is new to them. It wasn’t
pretty, but we got it done.”
Elkton’s youth is headlined by fresh-
men Cash Boe and Alex Allen, who
stand 6 feet 2 inches and 6 feet 4 inches
respectively.
“It seems like we’re playing se-
nior-dominated teams every night
that have 6-foot-6-inch kids,” Trout
said. “Cash and Alex are used to being
the big dominant ones back in grade
school, and now they’re not. They’re
trying to figure that part out of it too,
so it’s a growing process.”
For Boe’s part, his impressive fresh-
man season continued as he led the
team with 22 points, over half the Elks’
total.
On the North Douglas side, the girls
(6-0) beat Lowell 38-21 and Reedsport
79-23 as their defense continues to
shut down opponents. The Warriors
are currently ranked #12 in the OSAA
1A state rankings with three games
remaining before the league schedule
begins.
The boys (4-2) split their games at
the Winter Invitational, beating Low-
ell 60-46 on Friday and succumbing to
a large, athletic Reedsport team 55-45
on Saturday. Both Warriors’ squads
pick back up again on Fri., Dec. 20,
once again taking on the Lowell Devils
in an away game.
Elkton begins a short break for the
holidays with their next games not un-
til Fri., Dec. 27 at St. Paul.
