State to relax COVID requirements at schools North DAVID RUPKALVIS The World

Beginning Saturday, March 12, students in Oregon will no longer be required to wear masks or quarantine if they come in contact with someone with COVID-19.

The Oregon Department of Education announced updates to its Ready Schools Safe Learners Resiliency Framework on Wednesday, timing its changes with moves the state announced earlier in the week.

The biggest element is the ODE will no longer require students or staff to wear face masks, instead shifting the responsibility to local school boards.

“This change follows the CDC’s COVID-19 community levels recommendations,” said Colt Gill, the director of the ODE, “and the decision by the governors of Oregon, California and Washington to shift

mask mandates to the local level beginning March 12.”

Gill said the change symbolizes a move to a “new stage of the pandemic” where protective measures are the responsibility of local officials and parents.

“These guidelines will continue to support schools in reaching our goal of providing in person education to students all day, every day,” Gill said. “It includes specific supports for students, staff and families that may be at more risk for COVID-19 than others in the school population.”

In addition to eliminating the mask mandate, the ODE is removing a requirement that those who come in contact with someone who tests positive isolate for five days. In addition, universal contact tracing in schools will no longer take place as the state puts its contact tracing effort on pause.

“The rationale on this is two-fold,” Gill

said. “First, the decision to pause contact tracing and quarantine acknowledges that these practices now, unlike earlier in the pandemic, have very limited impact on transmission of COVID-19 in our communities. COVID-19 has evolved to become one of the most transmissible viruses known, and by the time exposure is identified and contact tracing is performed, transmission has often already occurred.

“Second, following the Omicron surge here in Oregon, and for the first time during the COVID-19 pandemic in Oregon, we have very high levels of vaccine and infection induced immunity. The duration of this immunity is not quite known, but it is believed to provide protection from infection for at least 90 days.”

Gill said instead of contact tracing, schools Please see COVID, Page A2

Superintendent finalists make their case DAVID RUPKALVIS The World

The next superintendent of the Coos Bay School District will be a proven leader, longtime educator and a passionate believer in public education. And best of all, she will be a local.

The district board of directors introduced the two finalists for superintendent to the community Wednesday as Charis McGaughy and Nanette Hagan introduced themselves to a large crowd and answered dozens of questions.

McGaughy is the current interim superintendent of the South Coast Education Service District and served for seven years as assistant superintendent in Eugene. Hagan is the current superintendent at Myrtle Point and served as principal at several schools before that.

McGaughy, who moved to Coos Bay in 2021, said her goal every day is to ensure students can succeed.

“I am passionate about ensuring every student, each student individually, is successful,” she said. “That’s my mission.”

McGaughy said after seven years as the assistant superintendent in Eugene, she felt it was time professionally to take a step up. She made the move to the South Coast Education Services District, but is hoping she can find something more permanent

in Coos Bay. “It was time for me professionally,” she said. “I felt I was ready. I love small coastal communities. I graduated from one. I believe Coos Bay School District is the shining star in the area.”

Hagan, who began her career as an elementary teacher, raised five children in public schools.

She said she is the exception to a lot of rules because she grew up in foster care and went to an alternative high school.

“I fell really compelled to make sure every student is met where they’re at,” Hagan said.

“Kids like me wouldn’t be able to do what I’m doing today if

there weren’t people who cared about me. Only 4% of people in foster care graduate from high school, and fewer have careers like mine.”

The two finalists were given questions from the audience, mostly answering the same questions. They were asked what they would do to address a serious shortage of teachers in Coos Bay and across Oregon.

“We are experiencing a shortage in all areas of staffing across the country,” McGaughy said.

“It’s not only a Coos Bay issue.

I have been involved in discussions at the state level. This is Please see SUPER, Page A2

Ruby excited to take over Coos Art Museum DAVID RUPKALVIS The World

Leah Ruby has long had a passion for art, museums and the Oregon Coast. So when she learned the Coos Art Museum was hiring a new executive director, the opportunity was too good to pass up.

“The Coos Art Museum is perfectly situated to be a community arts center,” she said. “I couldn’t pass up such a neat opportunity.”

Ruby, who started as executive director at the museum in

January, is a longtime artist who enjoys ceramics and painting.

She earned an undergraduate degree in art and art history and two masters degrees in museum science and education.

For the last several years, she worked visiting museums and evaluating their displays. She said with that background, she was thrilled to visit the Coos Art Museum.

“I love the area,” she said.

“I am impressed by how many supporters the museum has.

People love the place. I love the

staff. Such a professional staff, dedicated staff.”

Ruby believes the timing of her move was perfect, especially with the state lifting many of its COVID-19 mandates. With the easing of the mandates, Ruby said the museum is prepared to fully reopen to introduce art to those in Southern Oregon.

“I’m just looking forward to a lot of art for the community with classes, programs and movies,” Ruby said. “We’re starting classes again, we’re even starting field trips again this month.”

Ruby said former Executive Director Steven Broocks left the museum in great shape, adding Broocks has already volunteered to help at the museum.

The museum is currently showing the VISIONS Art Contest in partnership with Southwestern Oregon Community College, as well as the Student Biennial Show. Broocks left a schedule of shows for the remainder of the year that Ruby can’t wait to see.

“I’m so excited about everything that’s coming up,” she said. “Karen Russo and Shannon Weber, they are doing a show together. It’s all nature scenes and their interpretation of nature.

I’m real excited about that.”

Other shows coming up this year include a show with Walt Padgett, the 28th annual Maritime Exhibit and Goodwin Chronister.

Ruby is already working on her own shows and can’t wait to put on a show with the museum’s permanent collection, which she says has some amazing pieces.

The Coos Art Museum is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and 1 to 4 p.m.

Saturday. During the VISIONS show and Student Biennium, entrance to the museum is free.

Bend School District to lift mask mandate DAVID RUPKALVIS The World

When students return to North Bend schools March 14, they will not be required to wear face masks.

The move was made official Thursday when the North Bend School District board chose to follow the state recommendations and not add extra protective measures.

Superintendent Kevin Bogatin told the board his recommendation was to lift the mask mandate and move back to how the district handled COVID at the beginning of the pandemic.

Bogatin said the state rules have changed rapidly over the last month, but he feels confident North Bend schools are ready for classes without masks.

“I know there’s definitely some mixed feelings, but I think there’s a universal we’re all kind of tired of this,” Bogatin said. “This has been more than two years of this.”

Bogatin told the board, the Oregon Department of Education ODE changed its standards last week to make what was previously mandates just recommendations beginning March 12.

“We are going to institute a few things. If we have cases that come up, I think parents and staff will still want that information,” Bogatin said. “So we’re going to go back to what we did when this first started which is sending out letters to parents and staff when we have positive cases to alert them that this was in your classroom.

We’re going to move in that direction of alerting, stay home if your sick.”

Bogatin said any student or staff members who want to wear masks are welcome to even when the mandates are lifted.

“I do want to reiterate as we move away from masking and mask requirements, there’s going to be some people that still want to wear them,” he said.

“We’re going to make sure that people feel comfortable and accepted for that. We’re not going to tolerate bullying, harassment or ridicule for our staff or kids that want to wear a mask.

“This is a hard to for a lot of folks and we want to respect the different opinions.”

Bogatin said the district does have COVID test kits for students and their families if they are needed.

He said students who want test kits simply need to ask, and some will be sent home.

In addition, students who have symptoms will be offered test kits.

“That is good news in terms of monitoring this. It’s well overdue,” Bogatin said.

After Bogatin made his presentation, the board chose not to implement stricter standards.

a pipeline issue. There are not enough teachers in the pipeline.”

McGaughy said districts run into problems when they try to attract teachers from other states because they often don’t stay long.

“We really need to invest in growing our own because our kids are going to stay here,” she said. “They’re going to take our places. Let’s invest in our children.”

Hagan said the key is making teaching a profession people aspire to.

“We need to make sure we’re lighting the fire and telling our story,” Hagan said. “We need to be telling our story and letting people know we’re doing the right thing. We also need to grow our own. You have to think outside the box. Our educational assistants are some of the best and we need to grow them to educators.”

The two educators were then asked what they would do to reach all students.

“You have to be able to meet the in-

structional needs of ever student,” Hagan replied. “We have to collaborate, build systems K-12.”

“One of the biggest assets an strengths I’ve seen is strong community partnerships,” McGaughy said. “I visited the ARK program today. Schools can’t do it alone. Our students have extremely complex needs. We as educators have to be partners.”

The two women were then asked about curriculum and what roles schools boards should play in choosing curriculum.

“I believe we need to follow the state standards,” McGaughy said. “I believe every child needs and should have access to a comprehensive curriculum. I believe absolutely in a core curriculum that has been vetted by everybody. It’s not a topdown decision, it’s a community situation led by teachers.”

“I believe the school board has an obligation to invest themselves,” Hagan said.

“School boards should not be dictating curriculum. Teachers should have autonomy to teach.”

The two candidates were then asked the

question of the moment - how would they respond to state mandates regarding face masks or vaccinations.

“If there is a mandate that says students must wear masks in schools, students will wear masks in schools,” Hagan said.

“I’m not willing to put a district at risk of having federal funds withheld, having state funds withheld or having OSHA violations.”

“I think it’s our responsibility as educators to keep our students healthy and safe,” McGaughy said. “My approach during this pandemic has been to trust our health experts and trust the health guidance. Now that it’s being recommended, I think it’s a community discussion.”

The two finalists also praised the district and the community for supporting its schools.

“This community clearly values public education,” McGaughy said. “The buildings are in incredible condition. Every school I went in was welcoming, inviting and in really good repair. The message that sends to students was we value them.”

“I’m in awe and it demonstrates the

are urged to provide cohort notification when an exposure occurs. That includes cohorts such as classrooms, school bus populations and lunch groups.

Parents could then watch their children for signs of sickness.

Because quarantine is no longer required, testing requirements would change to testing for those of increased likelihood of illness.

If there is a positive test, isolation requirements remain in place.

“When a student tests positive for COVID-19, they should isolate for five days,” Gill said. “Students should continue to wear a well-fitting mask for an additional five days.”

Gill said the changes that will go into effect March 12 will be a significant change for many after two years of COVID protections.

“All of this represents significant change in operations of our schools and the day-to-day experience for

trust this community has in the district that they’re willing to entrust their dollars to the district,” Hagan said.

The two women were also asked what is the most important thing a graduating senior can have when school ends.

“That they’re ready,” Hagan said.

“They’re ready for what’s next, whether it’s military, trade school or college.”

In closing the two candidates said they really wanted the job.

“I think this district is strong,” McGaughy said. “We have a strong community. Let’s partner and make sure every student is prepared for what they want to do.”

“I’m really, really invested here,” Hagan said. “I’m not going anywhere. I hope I’m your selected candidate.”

The district is searching for a replacement for Superintendent Bryan Trendell, who is retiring. The board started with 19 candidates before narrowing it to the final two.

During the meeting, those in attendance filled out forms giving their opinion on the two finalists, which the board said it would use to help make a decision.

students and staff,” Gill said. “This can feel like it’s signaling the end of the pandemic. I want to be clear that’s not the intention here. The shift we’re discussing today is a new stage of the pandemic, and one where for at least the next few months, our state has some immunity.”

Gill said many students, parents and teachers will celebrate the changes, but there will be others who are concerned when things return to more of the pre-pandemic stages.

“After two years, we’ve all learned a lot about COVID-19 and many of us have experienced significant loss,” Gill said. “Now we’re shifting to our local leaders. The responsibility also falls to us as individuals. When we make a decision to wear a mask in a specific setting, we need to think about more than our personal health. We need to think about those we will come in contact that day or future days.”

State epidemiologist Dr. Dean Sidelinger also discussed the changes in school requirements.

“It’s important to remember while

the worst of the current surge is behind us, COVID-19 still exists,” Sidelinger said. “We are seeing significantly lower cases. After March 11, the need to wear masks and take other precautions won’t magically disappear.”

Sidelinger said the decision to make changes is in large part due to Omicron, which infected so many people, it built up immunity levels.

“We now have a significant portion of the population with vaccination or infection induced immunity,” he said. “ Once the mask requirements are lifted, we will pause contact tracing for the public, including K-12 schools. Testing all individuals in a population with high levels of immunity is no longer feasible or needed.”

Sidelinger said while the risk of COVID had not magically disappeared, it was now safe to return to a more normal life.

“We have at long last arrived at a stage in the pandemic where we can feel confident about relaxing more statewide requirements,” he said. “It should no longer control our lives.”

We all have different journeys, Different paths along the way, We all were meant to learn some things, But never meant to stay.

Our destination is a place, Far greater than we know.

For some the journey’s quicker, For some the journey’s slow.

And when the journey finally ends, We’ll claim a great reward, And find an everlasting peace, Together with the Lord.

History repeats itself, as Babi Yar falls again, wheat fields scorch, Thousands run, as brave men arm, sitting ducks in a shooting gallery, only this game, in the land of my ancestors, has no winners.

Yes, Douglas County is fully paying its bills

Douglas County Commissioner

Is the Douglas County employee retirement program on the brink of insolvency? Has Douglas County not been making the necessary payments into the PERS program in order to balance its budget? The answer to both questions is simply “no.”

Given the nature of local government financing requirements and the heavily regulatory nature of the state-run PERS program, for the answer to both questions to be “yes,” the county would have failed its annual audits and be under sanctions by the state. Neither of those questions are even a concern to the county which is why the allegations raised in a recent letter to the editor in The World are so puzzling.

There is probably no government program in the State of Oregon more complicated and fraught with controversy than the Oregon Public Employees Retirement System. While Douglas County, like most local governments, participates in PERS, the county does not govern or administer the program.

Rather, PERS is a state program that is administered by a 12-member board of trustees, appointed to three-year terms by the governor. The program administers three different pension benefit plans.

Tier One, which includes employees hired before January 1, 1996, is the most generous pension benefit. Through the Tier One Money Match program, this plan set guaranteed earning rates in excess of 8%. Tier Two was a slightly less generous benefits plan and the Oregon Public Service Retirement Plan sometimes referred to as Tier Three, which applies to employees hired after August 29, 2003, is a further reduced pension developed in an effort to bring state actuarial liabilities in line with employer contributions by raising the retirement age and by vesting benefits more slowly.

However, the PERS changes of 2003 did not erase the issues created by the structure of the Tier One and Tier Two pension programs. Due to the guaranteed rates of return of those plans, and the program being tied to the earnings of the financial markets, it was extremely vulnerable to downturns in the market.

In other words, the Oregon Legislature made guarantees that the return on employee accounts would match the pension system’s assumed earning rate no matter how the investments actually performed. Through several different time periods of economic downturns beginning with the “dot-com” bust of 2001-2002, the PERS plan has found itself with a growing unfunded liability which is currently approximately $24 billion. The unfunded liability is not a fixed number. It varies each year, up and down, depending upon how well PERS has invested in the market, changes to actuarial variables (e.g. retirement age, program member counts, etc.), and legislative changes to the program.

Douglas County’s share of the unfunded liability is paid to PERS by the PERS Board’s established employer contribution

rate. The contribution rate covers the cost of the employee’s and employer’s share for contributions to current employees’ retirement plans and the unfunded liability for past retirees. This rate is added as part of the roll-up costs for each county employee. As previously stated, the county’s unfunded PERS liability is a moving target from year to year. For example, in 2007 it was approximately $11 million and in 2008 it was $83 million.

Douglas County pays its employer contribution rates as established by PERS and is subject to annual audits.

Quite simply, we are paying our bills and maintaining a balanced budget as required by law. Douglas County has in the past, currently, and will in the future meet its financial obligations as it relates to making its payments to PERS. While there have been incorrect statements made about our employer contribution rates as compared to other counties – this simply underlies the complexity of PERS as many counties have chosen to address their unfunded liability in different ways. Some counties have chosen to join a pooling arrangement with other government entities. While this doesn’t change their overall liability, it allows those in the pool to smooth out drastic market changes by drawing their employer contribution rates from the combined members’ experience rather just their own.

Again, their liability remains the same.

Other counties have turned their PERS liability into “real” debt in the form of a government bond, creating what is known as side accounts.

This reduces their unfunded liability to PERS, thus lowering their employer contribution rate, but creates an interestbearing debt that still must be serviced with payments. The bond option is a substantial risk that must be timed with the rise and fall of the market and also assumes that the Legislature will not make any additional fixes to PERS that would reduce the unfunded liability. Additionally, as per Douglas County’s own ordinance

on debt limitation, any county debt above $2 million requires a majority vote of the county voters. As commissioner, I would never ask the county taxpayers to incur a debt created by the Oregon Legislature.

Instead, I would expect the Legislature and the governor to find a solution to what is not a county specific issue, but a statewide problem.

The number of employees in an agency is also a key variable that is used by the PERS Board when calculating employer contribution rates. Simply stated, the liability is calculated by subtracting the actuarial value of assets from the actuarial accrued liability. One of the key variables on the asset side of the column is employer contributions – which is accomplished on a per-employee basis. In a fiscally conservative approach to curb deficit spending (spending down reserves) the board of commissioners in the past and currently have right-sized the workforce by looking for efficiencies in our county service delivery. The reduction in the overall number of employees also means fewer employees to spread the liability across, which contributes to a higher rate.

In other words, in places where county government is growing, their growth will contribute to lowering their PERS contribution rate. Under this board of commissioners, Douglas County is not increasing the size of county government, thus this contributes to a higher PERS contribution rate.

The reality is the underfunding of the state’s PERS program has nothing to do with Douglas County. There has probably been no state program more scrutinized, studied and litigated than PERS. Anyone educated on the structure of PERS, regardless of political affiliation, can point to the simple structural elements of the program guaranteeing rates not tied to actual market performance was a mistake that the state and local governments will be paying for, absent a legislative fix, for generations.

Middlemen are responsible for rising insulin and drug prices

By Molly Rutherford, M.D. InsideSources.com

In his State of the Union address Tuesday night, President Joe Biden championed his drug pricing plans, which would allow the government to set some drug rates and penalize pharmaceutical manufacturers for rising costs. He specifically mentioned the high price of insulin that burdens so many diabetics. While the president is right that these medication bills are a significant hurdle for many American patients, he’s wrong to blame their high costs on drugmakers.

Upon closer inspection, the blame for rising prices for medications like insulin largely falls on the convoluted prescription drug supply chain. Policymakers who are truly interested in solving this problem — rather than just looking to leverage a popular issue to score political points — should expand their focus to include fixing the supply chain problem.

Here’s what they’d find: The drug market is held hostage by middlemen known as Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs). These PBMs are either owned by or affiliated with health insurers. They require drug manufacturers to pay massive kickbacks, known as “rebates,” in return for access to the list of drugs that insurers cover. Medicines must make it on these formularies to become players in the consumer market.

These enormous rebate costs get passed on to patients in the form of higher drug prices. For instance, if a manufacturer sells a drug for $100, but the PBM requires a $75 rebate to access the insurer

formulary, the drug’s list price rises to $175. In total, these rebates account for nearly 50 percent of list prices, artificially increasing drug prices by nearly $200 billion annually.

When you strip out these wasteful rebates, drug prices, including insulin, have actually declined in recent years. According to a recent JAMA study, insulin list prices rose by 40 percent since 2014, but net prices, absent rebates, fell by more than 30 percent.

The rebate system “is legal extortion,” said Rod Regalado, the father of a teen with Type 1 diabetes, about the opaque insulin pricing system. Like many Americans, he had no idea that the payto-play supply chain was to blame until he explored the clandestine world.

Last year, a Senate Finance Committee report revealed PBMs’ role in inflating insulin costs. It highlighted how rebates made up 80 percent—$339 of the $429 list price—of the cost of a standard box of insulin pens. It also revealed that between 2013 and 2018, insulin rebates charged by one PBM increased from two percent to 56 percent of the list price. Think of the annual savings for the average diabetic if these wasteful rebates were stripped out.

Perhaps the most pernicious aspect of the Soviet-style drug rebate system is its role in disincentivizing the adoption of cheaper medicines. Since lower-priced drugs elicit smaller rebates, PBMs resist including them on formularies. Therefore, cheap alternatives like insulin glargine, which costs one-third as much as its branded counterpart, can’t gain a toehold in the market. As a result, insulin glargine

languishes on the market sidelines, while high-rebate, high list-price alternatives dominate.

Patients can bypass this cartel and enjoy substantial prescription drug savings by contracting directly with their primary care physician or an independent pharmacy. Direct primary care doctors like me save our patients hundreds of dollars each year by sidestepping the inflationary PBM rebate system.

Lowering prescription drug prices does

not fit neatly into the righteous talking points that pass for political discussion today.

Only by taking a holistic approach to the issue, examining the entire drug market from research and development to a patient’s medicine cabinet, can policymakers hope to solve this problem. If they take this approach, they will soon see that PBM middlemen are the culprit for rising drug prices that are burdening ordinary Americans.

North Bend Parks Superintendent Bryan Owen recently received the city’s I Caught You Caring Award after rescuing a dog. Owen was on a walk when he heard whimpering down an embankment near Simpson Park. He spotted a dog in distress but was unable to make contact. He drove to Pony Slough, hiked around the marsh and then climbed the embankment. The dog’s leash and harness had gotten tangled in the brush. The dog had been desperately scratching and pulling, trying to free itself. Owen rescued the dog and took it to the Coos County Animal Shelter. The dog was later reclaimed by its grateful owners.

DEAR ABBY By Abigail Van Buren

DYSFUNCTIONAL RELATIONSHIPS COLLIDE IN WORKPLACE AFFAIR DEAR ABBY: I’m a supervisor at my job and have feelings for a married man who also works here. He’s lonely and looks to me for attention, companionship, sex and to listen to his troubles. We have only had sex once, but I know I cannot continue this “relationship.”

It breaks my heart because I care for him deeply, and IF he was single, this is someone I could actually have a relationship with. I have already told him I won’t accept any more of his offers to walk me home, and to quit texting me. He’s open with his wife regarding dating other people. It seems she’s also “talking” to another man outside of their marriage.

Am I delusional to think he will leave her for me? Would he have the same problems with me that he has with her? He has difficulty expressing his emotions, but I think he still loves his wife. I know their marriage is broken, and it’s not my job to fix it for them or to push him to choose me over her. It should not have to be this way.

Please, I would appreciate any advice you can offer. By the way, I’m also married, but my husband lives 7,000 miles away. After seven years, his immigration status still needs to be resolved. I’ll probably ask him for a divorce because, even though I care about him, I’m no longer in love with the man I married. He knows I have been dating someone because I told him. -- IN KNOTS IN NEW YORK DEAR IN KNOTS: You didn’t mention whether there are policies in your business about fraternizing, but if there are, then what you have been doing could get you fired. You have already started disengaging from this office romance, so please continue to do that.

Because of the unique circumstances of your marriage, you have some serious decisions to make. Do not drag your co-worker into it. IF there is the possibility of a future with him, he also needs to decide if he is satisfied with the status quo before making any other commitments. I know you are lonely, but for your sake and his, back off.

DEAR ABBY: My husband of more than 20 years has taken to hiding decorative accessories that he doesn’t like. An example: A designer bowl set packaged in a box suddenly disappeared from the cupboard. The plug-in air freshener from my home office also went missing. A lamp I moved from the living room to the foyer appeared on my bookcase two hours later.

My complaints fall on deaf ears. His favorite coffee mug and iPad are about to mysteriously vanish. Can you talk some sense into him? -- HIDE AND SEEK IN GEORGIA DEAR HIDE: Is this recent behavior, or has your husband been hiding things all during your marriage?

If it’s recent, your husband may need a medical checkup, because what you are describing can be a symptom of dementia. If he’s mentally fit, you two need to work on sharpening your communication skills and, perhaps, agree that before any more items are brought into the home the TWO of you share, they’re not something either of you will hate.

Marshfield boys beat Corbett to secure spot in state Pirates to meet Banks on Thursday night in North Bend

By JOHN GUNTHER For The World

COOS BAY — Marshfield will be a participant when the Pirates co-host the Class 4A boys state basketball tournament.

The Pirates beat visiting Corbett 77-56 on Friday night to secure a spot in the quarterfinals of the tournament. They will face Banks at 8:45 p.m. Thursday at North Bend High School after the Braves beat host La Grande 58-55 at the buzzer in another first-round game Friday.

“I think it’s really awesome that we get to have the tournament at Marshfield again because we have all our support here,” Marshfield senior Pierce Davidson said after helping the Pirates beat the Cardinals.

Last year, Marshfield won the Class 4A Showcase event on its home floor. That was a four-team tournament not sponsored by the Oregon School Activities Association and this year will feature the full eight-team field.

If the Pirates play like they did Friday, they like their chances.

“It feels great,” said Maddux Mateski, another senior. “I feel like we played together as a team.

“I feel like once we get rolling, not a lot of teams can go with us.”

The Pirates jumped out to an early lead against the Cardinals on Friday, repeatedly going inside.

“We knew they weren’t very big coming into the game,” said

Davidson, who had 30 points, including 18 in the first half. “We kind of wanted to get it inside and if that’s not working get it back outside. It was working.”

The Pirates led 10-3 in the opening moments before Corbett rallied to keep the score close for the rest of the half. They put the game away with another spurt to start the second half.

“I think we were just ready to play,” Davidson said. “We hadn’t played for two weeks. We were anxious to get on the floor again.

“We talked about getting a good jump the first two minutes.

We just really worked as a team.”

Mateski also had a big game inside, finishing with 12 points and 12 rebounds and Monty Swinson scored eight. Davidson had nine rebounds as the Pirates finished with a 46-36 edge on the boards.

That was one of two things that made coach Casey McCord very happy Friday. The other was the team’s passing.

“We had a lot of assists tonight,” McCord said.

In particular Mason Ainsworth and Dom Montiel did a good job finding their teammates.

Ainsworth, Marshfield’s alltime scoring leader, eventually finished with 18 points, getting most of them in the second half.

He also had seven assists. Montiel, meanwhile, had eight assists and seven rebounds to go with five points and came up huge on defense for Marshfield.

“Dom did a nice job on No. 24,” McCord said of Corbett’s

Marshfield’s Pierce Davidson goes to the hoop for two of his 30 points in Friday’s playoff win over Corbett.

Joe Fundak, one of the state’s top scorers. “(Fundak) takes enough shots, eventually some are going to go in,” McCord said after Fundak scored 25 points, on 27 shot attempts.

Fundak also had 10 rebounds and Lane Fort added 15 points and eight rebounds for Corbett.

The Cardinals couldn’t keep up with Marshfield in the second half as the Pirates built a big lead before clearing the bench in the final minutes.

“I was proud of the guys,” McCord said.

Mateski said the Pirates came out with great energy, which sparked the defensive effort and said that defense keyed the victory.

Now Marshfield can finally look ahead to the state tournament with the certainty the Pirates will be in it, entering as the No. 3 seed behind No. 1 seed Junction City, which shared the Sky-Em League title with Marshfield, and No. 2 Cascade.

The Tigers and Cougars also won their playoff games at home Friday, as did Philomath, which is seeded fourth.

If those squads win their quarterfinal games Thursday in North Bend, they will be in the semifinals Friday afternoon on Marshfield’s home floor, with Junction City facing Philomath and Marshfield battling Cascade.

Mateski is just thrilled to be part of the event, after watching last year while he recovered from

a knee injury.

“I’ve got a little chip on my shoulder,” he said. “I’m ready for it.”

In the other first-round games, Junction City beat Molalla 54-39, Baker won at Gladstone 80-62, Philomath topped North Marion 60-51, Seaside beat Woodburn 45-30, Stayton edged Henley 64-62 and Cascade topped Marist Catholic 67-49.

The full quarterfinal schedule Thursday, with some times altered because of boys and girls teams from the same schools playing in the same session, includes Junction City vs. Baker at 2 p.m., Philomath facing Seaside at 4 p.m., Stayton against Cascade at 7 p.m. and Marshfield and Banks at 8:45.

Marshfield girls lose Bandon girls bring home at Baker in playoffs fifth-place trophy in state tourney The World BAKER — The season ended Saturday for Marshfield’s girls basketball team, when the Pirates fell to host Baker 50-20 in the Class 4A playoffs.

“That was a rough way to end the season,” Marshfield coach Doug Miles said. “We just couldn’t make a basket.

“They are a very good team, but I thought we could have played better against them.”

Marshfield only made four shots from the floor all night, scoring 12 of their 20 points on free throws.

Charlie Dea had seven points and Kate Miles six in the loss.

Gracie Peach, Kaleigh England and Tatum Montiel each hit two free throws and Ava Ainsworth one.

Baker got 22 points from Jozie Ramos and 15 from Macey Moore to advance to the state tournament, jointly hosted this year by Marshfield and North

Bend.

In the quarterfinals, the Bulldogs meet Corbett, which won on the road against Banks 66-48 in another Saturday game.

The other quarterfinalists are top-ranked Philomath, which beat Henley 69-52; Mazama, a 53-37 winner over Stayton; Marist Catholic, which beat host Gladstone 54-46; Hidden Valley, which won at Junction City 51-42; Madras, which topped Astoria 51-36; and No. 2 Cascade, a 58-48 winner over La Grande.

For the Pirates, the final game didn’t tarnish the season, Doug Miles said.

“Overall, we had a great season,” he said. “We accomplished a lot of positive things. We had an amazing group of kids.

“I’m very proud of them.”

Thursday’s schedule at Marshfield includes Mazama facing Philomath at 2 p.m., Hidden Valley and Marist Catholic at 3:45, Corbett against Baker at 7 and Madras battling Cascade at 9.

PENDLETON — Bandon finished fifth in the Class 2A girls state tournament at Pendleton on Saturday, falling to Central Linn 63-41 in the third-place contest.

The Tigers were even with the Cobras at 14-all through one quarter, but Central Linn progressively pulled away from there behind Maya Rowland, who set a Class 2A tournament record with eight 3-pointers (shooting 8-for-10 from long range). Rowland finished with 32 points for the Cobras and Bri Beauchamp added 11. Gemma Rowland had 11 rebounds.

Olivia Thompson had 14 points and Makenna Vierck 11 for the Tigers, who shot under 30 percent for the contest. Thompson was named to the all-tournament first team.

After the contest, coach Jordan Sammons talked proudly of his team’s accomplishments.

“It was just a great year for us,” he said. “We are super fortunate to be able to make it to this point and have a chance in the semifinals and be able to take away a trophy.

“The girls just continued to improve all year and each week we got better. We’re fortunate for the leadership of our seniors and thankful to be able to send them out with a great ending to their basketball career.”

He noted the Tigers are relatively young, with Thompson, Katelyn Senn and Makiah Vierck all sophomores and Makenna Vierck a freshman.

“This just makes the rest of the girls hungry to put the work in and get back here and get past the semifinals,” Sammons said.

Hard work in the offseason has been the trademark as the Tigers now have finished third, fourth and fifth the past three seasons.

“I feel really blessed to be able to coach this group and it’s hard to really express how proud I

am of them and how they came together as a team this year and everything they were able to accomplish.

“We all know the culture is the foundation of our program and we plan to continue to build from this year into the years to come centered around that culture.”

Earlier in the tournament, Bandon topped Gervais 39-30 with Thompson scoring 10 points; the Vierck sisters each scoring eight, with Makenna grabbing 10 rebounds; senior Angie Morones adding seven points and Senn scoring six.

Nyssa girls outlast rival Burns for Class 3A title

By JOHN GUNTHER For The World

COOS BAY — Heading into the championship game of the Class 3A girls state championship Saturday night, it was certain the trophy was headed to Eastern Oregon, just not how far it was going. As it turned out, almost to the Idaho border.

Nyssa beat Eastern Oregon League rival Burns 33-30 for the title at Marshfield

High School, the school’s first in girls basketball since 2007.

The Bulldogs had to dig deep for the title, one night after edging Sutherlin in a classic semifinal battle, coach Jeremy Chamberlain said.

“It was a tough game,” he said. “We found a way to gut one out.

“We were resilient tonight. Our legs

COOS BAY — Cody Reece had the net around his neck and the blue trophy in his hands Saturday night and Cascade Christian coach Brian Morse couldn’t be more excited.

“I am so happy for Cody Reece,” the veteran coach said after the Challengers beat De La Salle North Catholic 52-45 in the championship game of the Class 3A boys state tournament at Marshfield High School. “I know it’s a team game, it really is.”

But after the Challengers came up short in the championship game the past two seasons, Morse wanted his lone senior — the only basketball player in his class — to have a chance to go out on top.

“My whole goal this season was to get him a championship,” Morse said.

Reece played a huge role as the Challengers built a big first half lead, saw all of it disappear in the third quarter, and righted the ship in the final eight minutes to outlast the Knights.

“It feels great,” said Reece, who had 11 points in his final game for the Challengers.

The point guard directed Cascade Christian’s fast break and efficient offense that helped the Challengers build a 27-13 halftime lead.

Cascade Christian’s Peyton Maurer puts up a shot in the first half of Saturday’s championship game.

Then De La Salle, which was ice cold most of the first half and only scored two points in the first quarter, turned red hot.

The Knights missed all 14 of their firsthalf attempts from 3-point range, but hit five of them in the second half, four by TJ Latu.

At the same time, they turned up the defense and Cascade Christian started turning the ball over, a problem that was Please see 3A Boys, Page A10

were dead after last night.”

But Nyssa’s spirits were high after beating Sutherlin, said Laney Hartley, one of the team’s senior leaders.

“I think after we beat Sutherlin, we knew we could do it,” she said while her teammates celebrated after cutting down the net.

“It’s so unreal, I feel like we really proved we can do anything when we set our minds to it.”

Nyssa overcame an early deficit and came up with some huge shots in the fourth quarter to get some separation against their rivals.

Hartley hit two of those, a jumper from the elbow and a 3-pointer that turned a onepoint lead into six, a deficit Burns couldn’t come back from on a night when points were hard to come by.

“She struggled to score tonight, but she hit a couple of big shots,” Chamberlain said.

Hartley’s baskets were huge, as were shots from several teammates on a night when Burns was double- and triple-teaming Nyssa’s 6-foot-5inch center Gracie Johnson.

“We knew once Gracie got the ball, they would triple team her and someone would be open,” Hartley said. “Gracie did a good job, not just scoring, but getting the ball out (to us).”

Johnson did finish with a team-high 12 points, along with 14 rebounds, but the four points from Brooklyn Johns and three each from Clarita Arizmendi and Malerie Long were huge.

“We have other teammates on our team who can score,” Johnson said. “We have a super deep bench.”

A key to the win, Johnson said, was Nyssa’s defense staying tough when the offense was struggling in the first half.

In the second half, she said, the Bulldogs were still intense on defense and better on offense.

They needed it against the strong effort from the Hilanders.

“Burns did a good job,” Chamberlain said. “They had a good game plan and executed it well, “We had a couple players dig deep, come up with a steal and a couple of big baskets.”

The World

While the Bulldogs were elated, the Hilanders were understandably disappointed, but also proud of playing in a championship game that came down to the final moments.

“I wish we could have come out on top,” said Burns senior Kaya Dobson. “I’m so thankful and so proud of my team to get here.”

Dobson had a big game for the Hilanders, finishing with 12 points, and Kaitlyn Wright, another senior, had 10. Freshman post Akylah Kaino was held to four points, but grabbed 10 boards.

“It’s a chess match offensively,” Burns coach Kris Sanders said. “We know each other so well. It was tough finding the basket.”

The team’s effort, he said, was outstanding “The girls did everything they could to try to get a W,” Sanders said. “It came right down to the end.”

He said he was proud of his team’s effort against a squad it had already faced three times, including two losses, the latter a two-point setback in the league playoffs.

Ironically, it was the first meeting between the teams that turned Nyssa’s season around, Chamberlain said.

Burns won that game 55-38 on Jan. 25. That was also the last loss for Nyssa.

“I’m really proud of this group,” Chamberlain said.

“We’ve come a long way this year.

“At Christmas time, we were winning games, but we weren’t playing together. Then we went to Burns and got beat. That was the turning point of our season.

We got together in the locker room after the game and got some things figured out.”

Ultimately, the result was the state title.

“I’m amazed,” Johnson said.

“It really hasn’t set in.”

SUTHERLIN 62, OREGON EPISCOPAL 38: After its heartbreaking loss to Nyssa Friday night in the semifinals, Sutherlin came back to easily top the Aardvarks and immediately started looking ahead to next year, when all the players return.

“I’m proud of what we did and I look forward to what we can do next year,” said Sutherlin’s Micach Wicks, who had another sensational game with 32 points Saturday. “Now all

3A Boys

the freshmen have experience.

They know what it takes, they know what it feels like to lose.

“We have unmatched motivation to come back.”

On Saturday, the Bulldogs showed how they could handle disappointment.

“I got second place twice,” Wicks said of Sutherlin’s runner-up finishes the past two years. “I thought that was hard.

I didn’t know this would be harder.”

Sutherlin dominated from the start against the Aardvarks, who were the Cinderella story of the Class 3A playoffs after entering as the lowest seed and knocking off top-ranked Willamina to get to the tournament.

Ava Gill had 11 points for Sutherlin and Madison Wagner had seven points and six assists.

Josie Vermillion added eight rebounds. The Bulldogs forced 28 turnovers.

Cayton Smith had 16 points, six rebounds and six assists for the Aardvarks, who earned the first trophy by a girls team in school history.

SANTIAM CHRISTIAN 41, AMITY 16: The Eagles took the fourth-place trophy, easily beating an Amity squad missing its top scorer.

The teams were tied at 7-all through one quarter, but Amity had just six more points before the middle of the fourth.

“You have to give credit to our coach,” Maddie Scariano said. “He told us to back it into a 2-3 (zone), pack it in the middle, defend it and force them to shoot from the outside.”

Santiam Christian coach Anthony Knox said his team doesn’t usually play zone, but had struggled against driving players. He also praised Amity coach Jed McMullen for making adjustments to account for the absence of Ellie McMullen, who had 19 points and four 3-pointers before being injured during the Warriors’ consolation semifinal win over Brookings-Harbor.

“Amity is a good team,” he said. “Their coach did a really good job on short notice.”

But without McMullen, Amity struggled, shooting just 3-for-31 from 3-point range and 4-for-45 overall.

Scariano scored a game-high 13 points and Tayla Yost added eight for Santiam Christian.

Yost and Maddie Fields each grabbed 11 rebounds for the Eagles.

son combined for 15 points for the Challengers.

From A9

in part due to Reece going down with an ankle injury that kept him out of the game for a few minutes.

“We started turning the ball over and panic set in a little bit,” Reece said. “We got it back together and settled down. We drew up a press break, got things going, then everything started falling.”

Cascade Christian didn’t score in the final five minutes of the third quarter, with De La Salle North Catholic going in front 32-31, but finally got going again when 6-foot-11 center Austin Maurer had a put-back 30 seconds into the final quarter.

The Challengers never trailed again, though De La Salle kept coming back.

Maurer finished with 26 points, to go with 16 rebounds, scoring 12 in the fourth.

“Austin, of course, made some big shots down the stretch,” Morse said. “We were trying to get the ball in to him. Their pressure was so good.”

That pressure turned the contest into a tight game after Cascade Christian threatened to run away with it.

“We were able to settle down at halftime,” De La Salle coach James Broadous II. “We’re a great third-quarter team. We were able to go down and make adjustments.”

And the Knights started making shots and turning up the heat on defense.

“Our offense sets our defense,” Broadous said. “If we are able to score, we can get into our pressure.”

Latu made three 3-pointers during a 15-3 run to finish the third quarter and finished with 21 points for the Knights. Mathias Billings added eight points and 12 rebounds and was picked for the all-tournament first team, along with both Reece and Maurer.

“I’m proud of us,” Billings said.

“There was no quit in us.

“TJ hit some huge shots for us.

He got us going and got the crowd into it.”

Ultimately, the Challengers were able to stop the De La Salle surge.

“It’s a lot of energy to come back from down 14,” Broadous said. “It’s hard to sustain that.”

“Cascade is one heck of a team,” Billings said.

The Challengers have a great returning group. Maurer, his twin brother Peyton and fellow starter Cannon Anderson all are sophomores. Peyton Maurer and Ander-

WESTSIDE CHRISTIAN 45, DAYTON 42: After entering the Class 3A boys state tournament as the No. 1 seed and suffering an emotional loss to Cascade Christian in the semifinals, Westside Christian bounced back to end the tournament on a positive note.

“I am proud of these guys,” Westside Christian coach David Henry said. “After building for one thing and falling a little short, anything can happen in the state tournament.

“They rose to the occasion when they didn’t have to.”

The Eagles won a game that was closely contested all the way and not decided until the final buzzer.

Westside Christian went in front on a layin by Jake Hergert with just over five minutes to go and led the rest of the way, but never by more than three points.

The Eagles were up just one in the final 10 seconds when Jaymeson Ye blocked a potential go-ahead 3-pointer by Tyler Spink.

Ye and Hergert each added a free throw in the closing seconds, clinching the victory over the Pirates.

“It’s exciting,” said Ye, who had a game-high 14 points. “Obviously (the tournament) didn’t end how we wanted it to end.

“Despite the loss yesterday, we got it back together. We wanted to end it off on a high note. We went out and gave it our all.”

UMATILLA 50, VALE 47: Umatilla won the battle of the Vikings among Eastern Oregon League rivals to take home the fourth-place trophy.

Vale won three meetings between the teams during the regular season, but Umatilla came up with the plays at the end to win the trophy game.

“I think it’s crazy,” said Umatilla’s Oscar Campos, who came up with the game-clinching steal and free throws. “We lost to them three times, finally in the time that matters, we got it.”

Umatilla built a 15-point lead in the first half and still led by double digits late in the third quarter, but Vale stormed back, taking a brief lead on a three-point play by Diesel Johnson with under four minutes to go that made it 47-44.

But Umatilla settled down, pulled even on a three-point play

by Ulises Armenta, and then going ahead on a free throw by Campos with 2:21 to go.

Armenta finished with a gamehigh 20 points for Umatilla.

This week in Coos County history: March 6-10 100 YEARS — 1922 Grass on spit eaten by cattle Is planted there to prevent drifting of the sands Rotary club at meeting today takes action on suggestion of George Sailor At the meeting of the Coos Bay Rotary Club today George Sailor of North Bend presented some facts relative to the destruction of Holland grass in the sand hills by cattle running thereon. As the summer winds carry vast quantities of sand into the Coos Bay channel, the port commission has been appropriating $500 per year for planting grass there and the U.S. government has also given $500 additional per year for the same purpose. As these efforts are being nullified by the cattle grazing, the Rotary Club passed a resolution requesting that the chambers of commerce of North Bend and Marshfield, the Fire Patrol Association and the port commission take united action in requesting the forest reserve department to revoke grazing permits in the section. The resolution was passed unanimously and action will be taken immediately in the matter.

Bandon to have new industry Veneer plant has been incorporated — will operate To put machinery in old woolen mill building — will make battery separators BANDON — The Bandon Cedar Manufacturing Company has been or-

ganized and will soon operate a veneer plant in the od woolen mill building in the city. The articles of incorporation have been filed with the county clerk. The company is incorporated for $50,000 and the charter allows the company to do business as a sawmill, planning mill, ash and door factory and shingle mill.

The company recently bought the equipment of the White Cedar Company at Coquille and as soon as some orders are filled at the county seat plant the machinery will be moved to Bandon and placed in the woolen mill building which was recently vacated when the machinery was bought and moved to Brownsville.

The company at this time will make a specialty of manufacturing auto battery separators. The veneer will be secured from the Perry Veneer Company at Bandon and will be manufactured into separators.

50 YEARS — 1972 Care facility for girls considered A youth care facility for young girls in Coos County is under consideration today following a report on delinquency rates in the county at a meeting Saturday of board of directors for the Bob Belloni Ranch.

Belloni board member Donald Dils read to members a report by Coos County Juvenile Department on the frequency of young females referred to the Coos juvenile court.

According to the report, 490 girls were referred to local juvenile authorities during 1971. The report noted that 45 of the female delinquents referred became official juvenile court cases.

The remaining 445 referrals were dealt with unofficially by the juvenile department and did not require full juvenile court hearings.

“I think any question of the need for a youth care facility for problem teenage females is satisfied by this data,” Dils told board members. Dils recommended that a study on the development of the facility be approved by the board.

Mast, Shanley win AA titles Pickings slim for Bulldogs, Pirates in AAA mat CORVALLIS — Pickings proved to be mighty slim for District 5AAA champion North Bend and runnerup Marshfield at the conclusion of the two-day state AAA wrestling tournament at Gill Coliseum Saturday as between them, they could only place three matmen among top six finishers in each weight class.

North Bend’s Gunnar Nordahl (123) and Marshfield’s Lee Garboden (141) picked up fourth-place finishes and the Bulldogs Mark Mullins (178) settled for fifth.

Taking the team title in the AAA division was Silverton, which scored 64 points to unseat defending champion Putnam, second with 35 ½.

North Bend wound up in 19th place with 14 points and Marshfield was in a three-way tie with Cleveland and

Sweet Home for 30th place, with eight points.

It was a different story for Southwestern Oregon wrestlers in the AA championships, however as heavyweight Jim Mast of Myrtle Point and 168-pounder Terry Shanley of Gold Beach came away with individual titles — Mast for the second year in a row.

Roger Dunithan (157) of Coquille picked up a second place, Rick Reiling (136) of Brookings claimed a third and Steve Rayevich (168) of Myrtle Point took a fourth.

Coquille’s Don Kilkey (136) came away with a fifth-place finish while Jim Crumley (178) of Gold Beach, Gordon Kranick (191) of Bandon and Keith Lewis (unlimited) of Coquille settled for sixth-place finishes.

Teamwise, Myrtle Point was ninth, Coquille 11th and Gold Beach 12th.

Taking the team crown for the third straight year was Woodburn.

Leauge president keys on moral climate at CB meeting “Watch the moral climate in your city as well as the natural environment,” urged Francis Ivancie, Portland city commissioner and president of the League of Oregon Cities. Ivancie spoke Thursday night at a Soutwhestern Oregon regional league meeting in Coos Bay. The rising crime rate and pornography in the state were among his major concerns for the future, along with pollution, city and other local financing and a “disturbing trend in local government to move everything to Salem.”

He cited the Portland core area as an example of pornographic freedom with its many homosexual bars, adult bookstores, neon signs promoting pornography. It doesn’t fit with beautiful scenic values, he said, “… doesn’t paint the picture of Oregon we want visitors to see.”

Lakers defeat Umpqua for OCCAA crown Kinney nets 27 points to pace 79-72 victory Southwestern Oregon, led by the hard-nosed play of center Ray Kinney, gained some measure of revenge Thursday night by topping Umpqua, 79-72, in the championship game of the Oregon Community College Athletic Association basketball tournament at Marshfield High.

The Lakers earlier this season lost two of three games to the Timbermen, and in so doing, lost possession of the President’s Cup emblematic of cage superiority between the two schools.

The win evened the record for the season at 2-2.

History From A13

And for their winning efforts, the Lakers now advance to the Region 18 National Junior College Association tournament Monday at Twin Falls, Idaho, where they’ll meet … oh, College of Southern Idaho, the defending national junior college champion which is currently ranked seventh in the nation this year.

Kinney, a sophomore from Gold Hill who prepped at Crater High in Central Point, had one of the best games of his career for the Lakers as he took game-scoring honors with 27 points, held opposing center Jim Williams to a dozen markers and was brutal under the boards.

“Kinney was tough, all the way around,” agreed Laker Coach Dale Bates.

20 YEARS — 2002 Funds will help pay surgical costs for Coos Bay canine An outpouring of local support in the form of a financial donation will be presented to the Coos Bay Police Department tonight.

The Bay Area Jaycees will deliver a check for $919 to the police.

The funds were raised last month to help the department pay for surgery on injured patrol dog Rex. “We are just amazed on the community support on an event we put together in less than a week’s time,” said Bay Area Jaycees President Melanie Johnston.

“We appreciate the community support on our project.”

Johnston, who also works in the Coos Bay Police Department front office, said she quickly assembled the spaghetti dinner last month in conjunction with other funds donated by residents will help pay for surgery for the department’s sole patrol dog.

Rex underwent successful sur-

gery last month to his elbow and shoulder at a specialized veterinary clinic in Beaverton. He had a bone spur removed from his elbow during arthroscopic surgery.

Rex, who is handled by Officer Rob Scoville, was injured while on duty in late 2001, apparently while tracking a suspect. It’s unclear what caused the damage to his elbow.

Southwestern clinches men’s title Basketball: Lakers get second Southern Region crown in three seasons With the NWAACC Southern Division title on the line, the Southwestern Oregon Community College men’s basketball team decided to make a statement.

All night long.

The Lakers easily defeated Linn-Benton 90-58 on Wednesday in Albany to win the title outright on the last game of the regular season. Southwestern, 12-2 in the division, finished one game ahead of Clackamas to win its second-ever title and second in the last three years.

Southwestern made quick work of the Roadrunners, outscoring them 46-11 in the first half.

“I thought we came out and we were really focused,” said Southwestern coach Tom Nicholls. “I think it’s a really good stepping stone for us going to the (NWAACC Tournament) to come out and play like we did — going to the tournament with some confidence and feeling good about ourselves.”

Borrevik, Hunt, Smith named MVPs Reedsport’s Nick Borrevik and Siuslaw’s Haley Hunt were named boys and girls most valuable players in the Far West League in balloting of league coaches this week.

Both were MVPs for the second time, with Borrevik having Blazing Fast Internet!

Hillsboro forfeits share of cheerleading state title

UNBOOK CLUB

HILLSBORO (AP) — The Hillsboro High School cheerleading team has relinquished its state championship because a team member’s poor grades should have disqualified her from competing.

The Spartans had tied Marshfield for the crown in the Class 4A division, but now Marshfield has sole possession of the title.

Coaches are expected to check athletes’ grades during auditions, before the season begins and at the end of each quarter, said Steve Callaway, the district’s spokesman. The cheerleader posted poor spring marks, but the coach did not check grades when they were released in June.

“If the kid had straight A’s and a Nobel Peace Prize in physics in October, she still wouldn’t have been eligible because it’s the spring grades that determine eligibility for the fall season,” Callaway said.

Gold Beach’s Kiley Smith was named girls MVP of the Big Fir League.

Gold Beach wins girls state championship For the second straight game, the Gold Beach girls basketball team needed overtime, and for the second time in three years, the result was a state championship.

Gold Beach won the pressure-packed Class 2A title game against Santiam 59-56 on Saturday in Pendleton. The Panther boys came home with a seventh-place finish.

The girls game went down to the wire in the fourth quarter and needed a nail-biting extra period to decide who would be state champion.

“The girls never quit,” said Panther coach Jerry Ross. “They kept their composure throughout the game. They kept fighting.”
