We’d like to have someone here for several years.” Smith came into the program with a wealth of experience in Or- egon high school football.

The 2019 football season proved more of the same for Smith in what became a turbulent year — both on and off the fi eld — for the Lions’ fi rst-year head coach.

The physicality of the game was matched by the intensity of the home crowd who took offense to a number of calls made by the referees, particularly in the second half as the game en- tered crunch time. “I love games that turn into dog fights. It’s a war of attrition,” Cyr said. “And I hate losing more than anyone in the world, but it’s not a bad lesson for our girls at this point in the season.” North Douglas employed a balanced scoring attack through- out the game. Their high scorer, senior Nicki Derrick, had eight points to go with six points each from both junior Natalie Thomp- son and senior Rilie-Jo Olds. The pirates were led by senior Sydney Lawrence who hit five of Perry- dale’s seven total 3-pointers. Ultimately, it was the visitor’s shooting prowess combined with their defensive intensity — and 10 points left at the foul line by the Warriors — that made the differ- ence. Nonetheless, North Douglas still sits at a tidy 12-1 overall and will continue working towards their larger, later-season goals. “Teams that are good handle [pressure] more than they don’t. That’s the first time we’ve seen that kind of pressure [this year] and it’ll probably be the last time until we get into the playoffs depending on who we see,” Cyr said. The Warriors now get into the real swing of league play, playing at Yoncalla (10-4, #27) on Fri., Jan. 17 at 6 p.m. before hosting Elkton (10-3, #12) the following night at the same time.

Smith entered into both situa- tions - Siuslaw and Cottage Grove - under less than ideal conditions. The 2018 Siuslaw roster was light on upperclassmen and had won only one game the year prior to Smith’s arrival, but did ultimately turn things around in 2019 with a 6-4 record. The 2019 Lions roster was simi- lar, losing veteran leadership after the graduation of all-league play- ers Dylan Graves and Erick Giff- en along with a number of other seniors. Many players entered the season with little to no varsity starting experience. But 2020 will see Cottage Grove trot out a roster with another year of play under its belt and no lack of facing adversity. They will also have a new face manning the ship, hoping to return CGHS football to a place of prominence in the 4A ranks. The search is on for who that face will be. Serious speed!
