Local/Community Sports Speedgolf tourney features Olympians Some volunteers still are needed for second world championships at Bandon Dunes ■
THE WORLD The second World Speedgolf Championships is next weekend at Bandon Dunes Golf Resort and tournament coordinators are looking for a few more volunteers. The event will be held Oct. 26-27 and this year will include 30 of the best speedgolfers in the world, from six countries. Among them are Olympic runners Bernard Lagat of the United States and Nick Willis of New Zealand. Defending champion Brad Walker and speedster By Alysha Beck, The World Robert Hogan of Ireland also Marshfield’s Audrey Webster, left, and Abby Clough, right, jump up for a block against Sutherlin’s Miranda Mendenhall during the game Thursday. are in the field.

VOLLEYBALL From Page B1 “Even when we lost the first set, We played so hard and played our hearts out there,” Scott said. The first set had Marshfield down early at 158 before head coach Tammie Montiel called a time out. The Pirates came back and tied the game at 17, then again at 19, 21, and 24 before dropping a couple points in a row and falling 27-25. “We came out a little slow in that first game but we battled back,” Montiel said “I was proud of them for being so far down and being able to battle back and break even with them. “That show’s a lot of growth in them.” set, The second Marshfield jumped up 14-5

RECAP From Page B1 The Bulldogs now get ready to host the undefeated Vikings, who were idle this week, on Friday night. That game will decide who wins the Far West league and earns a bye in the play-in round of the state playoffs. The evening also will include the homecoming festivities and the annual hall of fame induction ceremonies. Douglas 41, South Umpqua 38: The Trojans grabbed third place in the league standings by edging the visiting Lancers. South Umpqua now will hope its power ranking is high enough to secure a playoff spot as an at-large team.
Sunset Conference Reedsport 34, Bandon 22: The Braves got their second win over one of the hybrid league’s Class 3A teams. Reedsport burst out to a 22-6 lead and held on for a homecoming win, behind an efficient offense. “We were great on offense,” said Reedsport coach Shane Nelson. Matthew Rohde had 12 carries for 107 yards and two touchdowns and Joey Herr added 71 yards on 11 carries and two more scores. Hayden Hinshaw ran for 67 yards and quarterback Haden Sams completed 14 of 22 passes for 187 yards. He did have one interception, on a Hail Mary
and cruised, but the swing third set decided the match. Down 20-15, Montiel took another time out that seemed to really swing the game and Marshfield subsequently rifled off the next seven points. Shaylynn Jensen finished with 25 assists, but also had an ace that split two Bulldog defenders on gamepoint, making them bump into each other and giving the Pirates a 2-1 advantage. After that, the fourth set was over and the Marshfield crowd spilled out to the floor to celebrate. It happens that fast with momentum. “Volleyball is totally a game of momentum and it can swing super fast,” Montiel said. “One dropped ball and the wind is knocked OT of your sails and the momentum shifts really quickly. So I was happy to keep that on our side for most
of the night.” Sutherlin wasn’t without good performances. Kayce Mock had 13 kills, four blocks and an ace. Olivia Gulliford had 13 kills, three aces and a block. On the Marshfield side, Abby Clough finished with 10 kills and four blocks. Abby Bryant grinded out 28 digs while Paige Tavernier added 20 assists. The leader at the net was Hailee Woolsey with 17 kills. She looked fluid and in rhythm, mixing spikes and drop-shots into dead space cleverly. She definitely was a vital part of the Pirate win, but she gives all the credit to the rest of her team for fighting back. “I know we lost the first (game) but we came back, stepped it up and were ready,” Woolsey said. “I think I did pretty good but it’s not per-
sonal. If I didn’t have my team, I wouldn’t be anywhere.” The league title guarantees Marshfield a bye through the play-in round and a spot in the final 16-team bracket in the Class 4A playoffs. But it doesn’t guarantee a home match for the Pirates unless they finish in the top 16 in the final power rankings, and Marshfield got on the right side of that number with Thursday’s win, bumping up from No. 18 to No. 15. The Pirates will try to strengthen their power ranking today, when they host the Marshfield Invitational, a 16team tournament that includes several highly ranked teams, including Hidden Valley (third), Phoenix (eighth) and Siuslaw (ninth) in Class 4A, Valley Catholic (fifth) in Class 3A and Reedsport (sixth) in Class 2A.
rushing — capped the win with a 29-yard touchdown toss from Howerton in the fourth quarter. The win finishes up Marshfield’s league play at 24 with one game left to play next week at Crook County.
Coach Line couldn’t ask for a better way for send off his seniors and get his underclassmen excited about next season. “I feel good for the seniors. They didn’t have a lot of success in their career, and it
hasn’t been because they haven’t worked hard,” Line said. “They continued to get better in their own right and tonight was just a great capstone to a great career for them and a good vaulting point for our program.”
pass on the final play of the first half. Reedsport’s defense held its own against Bandon’s physical front line. “The defense came up and made some big plays,” Nelson said. The last touchdown was a fumble recovery in the end zone by freshman Brian Fox after Egan Glover sacked Bandon quarterback Quentin Coomer. The Tigers had two long touchdown runs by Coleton Jackson and Coomer threw a touchdown pass to Cole Kreutzer. “Bandon is so much more physical than they were last year,” Nelson said. “They really did a good job on us in the trenches.” Coomer filled in for Shawn Peters, who missed the game with a hand injury. “Quentin did really good,” said Bandon coach Silia Polamalu. “He threw an interception on the first drive. Other than that, he ran the ball well and made some good decisions.” The Tigers closed the gap to six points in the fourth quarter, but Reedsport held on. “I’m thrilled with our kids,” Nelson said. “When things started to go bad, our kids didn’t hang their heads. These kids just fight.” Reedsport has a chance to make it 3-for-3 against the Class 3A schools when the Braves host Glide next week. The Tigers, meanwhile,
have a huge game against Coquille, needing a win over the Red Devils to keep their playoff hopes alive. Gold Beach 36, Glide 0: The Panthers pitched a shutout on the road, improving to 3-0 in league play. Michael Romsa and Colton Pearson both had touchdown runs over 50 yards for the Panthers — Romsa also scored on a 1yard run — and Dustin Carter had a touchdown run and caught a touchdown pass from CJ Maxwell. “Kevin does a great job at Gold Beach,” Glide coach Jody Doty said of Panther coach Kevin Swift. “He’s got a football machine over there.” Doty said he was proud of his young squad, meanwhile, which gave up just seven points after halftime. “They came out and battled real hard the second half,” he said. “We were real happy with how they performed.”
Skyline League Powers 72, Butte Falls 22: The Cruisers rolled up 46 points in the first quarter on the way to the easy road win. Powers improved to 4-2 in league play with another road game — their fourth in a row — next week against North Lake. They then host defending state champion Camas Valley to close the regular season and should learn by then where they sit in the quest for one of the league’s three playoff berths.

Golf event will help in polio fight Pitch & Putt Out Polio is Oct. 24 at Bandon Dunes ■
THE WORLD BANDON — In honor of Rotary International’s October polio awareness month and World Polio Day Oct. 24, the Bandon-ByThe-Sea Rotary Club will hold a “Pitch & Putt Out Polio” golf fundraiser from noon to 4 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 27, at the Bandon Dunes Practice Facility (Shorty’s). Bandon Dunes Golf Resort is co-sponsoring the event. The cost is a $20 donation per player (cash or checks only) and all ages are welcome. The grand prize is a $100 gift certificate to Bandon Dunes and a closestto-the-pin prize will be awarded on each hole. In addition, a putting contest will be held, with the winner receiving a $50 gift certificate
to Bandon Dunes. Any ties for the low gross will be determined by a score card playoff, determined by Bandon Dunes. Any ties on the putting green will be determined by a putt-off. Reservations can be made by calling Bandon Golf Supply, 541-347-1636. Walkons also are welcome. All proceeds will be donated to the Rotary’s PolioPlus campaign, with the goal to eradicate the debilitating disease worldwide through immunizations. In 1985, when Rotary began its fight against polio, there were 350,000 cases worldwide. In 2012, there were 223 cases — a 99 percent reduction. To date, Rotary has contributed more than $1 billion and countless volunteer hours to the protection of more than two billion children in 122 countries. There are only three countries in which polio has never been stopped: Afghanistan, Nigeria and Pakistan.
Bandon Dunes squad wins OGA Team Championship THE WORLD A Bandon Dunes team won the 86th Oregon Golf Association Men’s Team Championship last weekend. The team dominated the competition at The Reserve in Aloha, winning by nine strokes. It was the first time the resort’s squad has taken the title — Bandon Dunes
finished third last fall. Each club had four players and counted the top three scores each of t he two days. Bandon Dunes was tied for fifth after the first round with a score of 3-over. But the team improved 10 shots the second day and finished with a total score of 4-under. Adam Araneo of Eureka, Calif., and Kyle Crawford of
Coos Bay both shot 3-under 141 for the two days. Kevin Rei of Bandon finished at 2over 146.
