They’re well-coached over there though, that’s for sure, and they played a good game.” In all, Lockhart came away from the game on a positive note. “I was re- ally proud of our guys,” he said. “We fought the whole way through, and it was definitely a battle. We still have great confidence, and we feel very capable in what we can do.” Going into the next game, Lockhart plans to make some necessary ad- justments. “We’re going to change some offensive schemes a little bit and try to make it a little easier on our personnel,” he said. “And defense, we’ll just keep working on wrapping up.” The Elks play again on Friday (March 19), when they host Gilchrist, begin- ning at 3 p.m. NED HICKSON/COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL Elks from B1 — and then we had anoth- er fumble as we were go- ing in. That really hurt us.” By the fourth quarter, the Wolverines had scored again, only to have Alsea’s major playmaker, Owen Aldous, nab a pick six that brought the Wolverines ahead by three touch- downs. “It went right through our tight end’s hands,” said Lockhart. “Aldous in- tercepted it and he ran it back.” Aldous gave the Elks a run for their money, with 13 rushing attempts for 143 yards, five touch- downs and one conver- sion on the ground. As Lockhart noted, “He was tough to tackle, we just couldn’t get ahold of him.” Still, the Elks were re- lentless throughout, fight- ing to the very end. Ac- cording to Lockhart, “We bounced back again, and we scored again, so we an- swered every single time — but we still ended up losing by two scores.” Despite the loss, the Elks had some standout plays in the game. Run- ning back Cooper Peters had 19 attempts, rushing for 134 yards and grab- bing an interception. Pe- ters also had two touch- downs — one from 22 yards and another at 25 yards — picking up con- versions for both.
