had to be stopped by the Elmira goalie, but neither were
able to add to the score.
Just past the mid-way point of the second half, the ball
went out on Elmira which gave Cameron an opportunity
for a throw-in. He quickly found Gonzalez, who was able
to shoot the ball past the Elmira goalie for the score mak-
ing it 4-0 Lions.

Goalie Kishen, on the other hand, was pleased with his
positive performance as well as his teammates’.
“I like to watch what our guys are doing. Jayden (Cam-
eron) and Aldo (Rea) – their chemistry is really beauti-
ful,” he said. “I just hang out in the goal and sing songs to
myself in my head then once the ball is in our half of the
field, I flip the switch and get in the zone.”
Cottage Grove only has a few conference games left be-
fore the playoffs are underway. The Lions will have their
last two games at home on Oct. 18 against Marshfield and
Oct. 20 against Siuslaw.
dogs as they were able to
gain a small 13-11 lead
over Pleasant Hill.
In the middle of the Cre-
swell run, the Pleasant Hill
student section started to
chant “She’s a traitor!” to-
ward an opposing Creswell
player after she had trans-
ferred out of Pleasant Hill.
The Creswell team would
have their teammates back
as they continued to push
their lead after another
ace from Kendyl Whitson
making the Bulldog lead
16-12 forcing the Billies to
take a timeout.
The visiting Creswell
parents and students would
start to make their pres-
ence felt as Kelsey would
serve an ace as the Bull-
dogs had full momentum
on their side at 20-14. A
Pleasant Hill mistake and a
big hit by Emme Whitson
would put the set firmly in
control of the Bulldogs at
24-16.
Creswell started to get
tense as they could feel a
fifth set looming and an
opportunity to earn a huge
comeback victory.
The Billies however
would not bow out easily
as they put serious pres-
sure back on Creswell
by responding with a big
run. Cheyenne Green and
Jasmine Valencia would
be responsible for a four-
point lead making the Cre-
swell lead only two at 24-
22. Coach Baltrusch would
closer as she ended the
contest with a big hit from
her hit in the middle, se-
curing a 15-10 fifth set win
for Creswell and a come-
back 3-2 victory.
“I have a lot of really
young kids and sometimes
I never know what’s coming
out every day. I don’t know
if I get the super awesome
team or the team that’s a
little reluctant, or the team
that looks like they hav-
en’t played in a while. I
just don’t know until they
show up,” said Baltrusch.
“I think it’s good for them
to experience being behind
and coming back to know
what it feels like to do that
and come back and win.”

does not get any easier for

call a timeout telling her
team they only needed one
more point.
The Pleasant Hill student
section chants earlier in
the set were directed to-
ward Creswell sophomore
Kyla Ellis who went to
Pleasant Hill for her fresh-
man year to play basketball
with her then senior sister.
After Kyla’s sister graduat-
ed, she transferred back to
Creswell. Ellis would score
the last point needed to
close out the fourth set for
the Bulldogs, setting up the
first to 15 in the fifth set.
Ellis continued to assert
herself as she had a big
block at the net helping
Creswell get out to the ear-
ly 4-1 lead in the fifth set.
Emme Whitson had two
big hits on the outside to
extend the lead even more
for the Bulldogs at 8-1.
Pleasant Hill did not
have an answer for the ear-
ly barrage of points scored
by Creswell and after Liz-
abelle Osborn slammed
a point for Creswell, it
seemed again that the Bull-
dogs had all the momen-
tum.
Creswell held the lead
at 14-5 needing only one
more point to secure a
comeback victory, but
the Billies held tough and
would score five points in
a row making the lead only
four for Creswell at 14-10.
Kendyl Whitson would
not let the game get any

“We had this conversa-
tion yesterday in practice
about when we get behind,
we just kind of think, ‘Oh,
well, we’re going to lose.’
And that’s not always the
case,” said Head Coach
Anna Baltrusch. “So it was
kind of funny that we lost
the first two sets and then
came back, and won after
our talk in practice.”
Pleasant Hill jumped out
to a lead in the first set and
never looked back. The Bil-
lies had a 20-12 lead in the
first set looking to close it
out, but Creswell went on
a 4-0 run cutting into the
Pleasant Hill lead.
The Bulldogs came with-
in four as the score was 23-
19 and sophomore Kim-
berlee Kelsey would serve
an ace making the lead
only three for P. Hill at 23-
20.
The Billies were able to
get the serve back, but with
P. Hill having set point,
Bailey Hutchison would
make a great serve for the
ace, closing out the first set
for Pleasant Hill 25-20.
The second set would
stay very close as both
teams could not separate
from each other until the
final points in the set. The
score was dead even at
18-18 after Creswell bat-
tled back from a couple of
self-inflicted mistakes to
tie the score again.
Pleasant Hill would get
two points off of serving
aces from Kloee Harris and
Claire Crawford, making
the Billie lead 23-20. The
Bulldogs would contin-
ue to claw back in as they
were able to score back-
to-back points making the
lead only one for Pleasant
Hill.
The Bulldogs came back
but fell just short as they
had a ball go out and the
Billies would serve another
ace to close out set number
two 25-22.
“After the second set I
told them to just relax, play
as a team and talk to each
other,” said Baltrusch. “It
felt like we were tight and
tense.”
In the third set, Creswell
would spring into a new
life as they were the ones
jumping out to a big lead.
Kendyl Whitson would
play her part in grow-
ing the lead as her serves
would make the score 16-7
in favor of the Bulldogs.
Creswell would coast the
rest of the way in the third
set as they earned a 25-14
third set win.
The fourth set played
very similar to the second
set as neither team could
separate much from the
other and the score was
locked at 8-8.
The energy was starting
to shift toward the Bull-
Five minutes later Rea was able to score his fourth goal
of the night helping close the door for the Lions as they
earned the big 5-0 win.
“I know that the games we should be winning, we’re
winning,” said coach Vern Stewart. “They didn’t test us
very much, but the shape we had in the back of our de-
fense wasn’t what it should have been at times. And that
is something we will talk about at practice.”
Despite the big win, Coach Stewart wasn’t very cele-
bratory as he talked about how the team still has things
to work on.
