Below are the boys and girls Evergreen League standings at the midway point of the league season

Boys
1. Tulelake (5-0) – the Honkers don’t have it locked up, but they are in pretty good shape. The biggest challenge will be going to Happy Camp on February 15.

2. Happy Camp (4-1) – the Indians still have a legitimate shot at at least a share of the title, but they’ll likely have to run the table in the second half to get there. That starts this Friday in Dunsmuir. (more…)

Below are the boys and girls standings in the Shasta Cascade League at the midway point of the league season.

Boys
1. Weed (5-0) – with their win over Mt. Shasta on Friday, the Cougars are sitting all alone on top. However, Weed still has to play Fall River once more (Weed lost to FR in the preseason and had a tough win in league at FR), and they have to go to Mt. Shasta. The Silver Fox and his team still have some work to do.

2. Mt. Shasta (4-1) – the Bears have to go to Fall River and Modoc. Mt. Shasta handled FR at home, but it’s tougher in McArthur. And, although the Bears beat Modoc at home, the Braves nearly pulled off a huge comeback. This Tuesday, they have to go to Alturas to face the Braves. If the Bears can survive the road trips, they may well be in position to play for the SCL championship at home against Weed on February 18. (more…)

YREKA – The Yreka Lady Miner junior varsity prevented an Anderson sweep during Yreka’s Winter Court celebration, when they trounced the Anderson Lady Cubs, 47-14. The JV Lady Miners’ dominating performance was highlighted by a fourth quarter defensive effort that allowed no points for Anderson. (more…)

YREKA – The Anderson Cubs varsity basketball teams did their best to spoil the Yreka Miners’ Winter Court celebration on Friday night. The Cubs boys downed the Yreka boys, 62-42. The Lady Cubs handled the Lady Miners, 71-54. Both games were competitive…for about a quarter.

Anderson went out to an 11-2 lead in the first quarter of the girls game, but the Lady Miners battled back to within three points, 16-13, on a 3-ball by Kelsey Stonier. The Lady Cubs led by six points at the end of the opening quarter, 21-15.

Mackenzie Allen opened the second quarter scoring for Yreka with a bucket, 21-17. AmMathee Stott went coast-to-coast to make it a one possession game, 21-19, with 7:14 left in the half. It wouldn’t be close again.

Anderson went on a 18-6 run to go into intermission leading, 39-25. The Lady Cubs went on to win, 71-54.

Kelsey Stonier led Yreka with 14 points, including four 3-balls. Katie Brummett and Mackenzie Allen each put up 13 points.

Yreka (0-3, 8-10) hosts Corning (0-3, 9-11) on Tuesday, February 1.

The Miner boys started well, going out to a 4-0 lead on baskets by Eric Neill and Sarome Eng, but would only score once more in the first quarter, a hoop by Dillon Dow. Going into the second quarter, Yreka trailed 12-6. (more…)

YREKA – The Yreka Lady Miners jogged their way to a sleepy 1-0 victory over the win-less and shorthanded Central Valley Lady Falcons on Thursday afternoon.

Jena Turner scored the winning goal 20 minutes into the match. When Jillian Dutra’s through ball bounced over the head of the Falcon keeper, Turner swooped in to hammer it home. Dutra had hit the post on a long shot earlier in the match. (more…)

The Yreka Miners Dance Team placed third at the Rouge Valley Festival of Dance Competition on Saturday, January 22, in Grants Pass.

The team performed to a “Singing in the Rain/Umbrella” mix from Glee.

“It was amazing,” said Coach Katie Svilich. “I had told the team not to expect anything again as we go to competitions for fun, not to win! The other schools only take their best dancers out of the team whereas I take everyone.” (more…)

YREKA – It took just two minutes for the Yreka Miners to tally their first goal, against the wingless Central Valley Falcons (0-9 or something like that). The goal came off the foot of Arturo Rodriguez.

Central Valley had a great scoring opportunity on a breakaway at the 32-minute mark. However, Yreka goalkeeper Noah Lawson flat out robbed the Falcon with a spectacular save. Seven minutes later, Daniel Castro made it 2-0 on a penalty kick.Yreka went into the intermission up 2-0.

The Falcons tried to take flight in the second half, notching a goal at the 48-minute mark, 2-1.

Central Valley kept up the pressure for several minutes, but Rodriguez brought them back to earth with his second goal of the match 22 minutes into the second half, 3-1. Six minutes later, Trevor Daugherty found the back of the net on a penalty kick, 4-1. Daugherty put the finishing touches on the win a minute later, with his second goal of the match. (more…)

WEED – The College of the Siskiyous Eagles made sure both the Eagles’ and the Shasta Knights’ fans didn’t leave early on Wednesday night. COS more or less controlled the game most of the way, leading Shasta at the half, 30-22. COS built a 15-point lead midway through the second half, 54-39. However, a technical foul assessed to Eagle Coach Kyle Heath, who was protesting the mugging of one of his players, opened the door for a momentum shift and a near comeback for the Knights.

The Eagles led 54-44, with 6:57 to play in the contest, when the technical was called. Shasta hit both freebies, cutting the COS lead to eight points, 54-46. A Knight hoop and two more from the charity stripe made it a 4-point game, 54-50, with 6:15 to go.

With 2:57 on the clock, COS led 61-54 and seemed to have weathered the storm, but that’s when the Knights made a final push. Shasta scored the next six points, to make a one point game, 61-60, with 1:47 to go. A pair of free throws by Eagle Luke Cassedy and one from TJ Little, made the score 64-60.

A 3-ball from the Knights’ Aaron Meeks cut the Eagle lead back to a single point, 64-63, with 52 ticks left. Cassedy went hard to the hoop for a deuce, 66-63, with 24.3 on the clock. With 5.5 seconds to go, Ronnie Fields made one of two freebies for a little insurance. (more…)

WEED – The College of the Siskiyous Lady Eagles fought off several comeback runs by the Shasta Lady Knights, before eventually winning, 82-76, on Wednesday night.

COS led 27-14 midway through the first half, and seemed to have the momentum in its favor. However, Lady Knight Ashley Sanchez hit three in a row from well beyond the arc to help Shasta cut the margin to seven points, 34-27, with just over four minutes until intermission. The Lady Eagles went to a box-and-one defense to contain Sanchez, and then built their lead back to double digits, 46-34, by halftime. Sanchez would hit just one more shot the remainder of the game.

DORRIS – The Dunsmuir Tigers went into the Butte Valley Bulldogs’s house on Tuesday night and escaped with a win. Jake Mekeel led all scorers with 16 points, including six straight from the charity stripe down the stretch to seal the deal for the Tigers.

Dunsmuir led 11-10 at the end of the first quarter, and outscored Butte Valley 13-6 in the second quarter, to go into the intermission with an eight point lead, 24-16.

The Tigers built a 10-point lead, 33-23, late in the third quarter, but back-to-back buckets from Bulldog Jeremy Lopez made it a 6-point game going into the final frame, 33-27.

Jake Mekeel opened the fourth quarter scoring with a 3-point play the hard way. Daniel Ballard followed with a 3-ball, upping the Tiger lead to 39-27.

Butte Valley trailed by 11 points, 44-33, with 3:12 left to play, when Bulldog Steven Berengue dropped a trey, 44-36. Collin Lattanzio answered on the other end with a Tiger deuce, but Berengue came right back with another 3-ball, making the score, 46-39, with 2:18 to go. (more…)

DORRIS – The Butte Valley Lady Bulldogs put on a dominating defensive performance against Dunsmuir on Tuesday night for a 53-16 win. The Lady Bulldogs’ win coupled with Happy Camp’s loss at Tulelake, puts the defending Evergreen League champions back on top of the league.

Butte Valley started slow on the offensive end, but held Dunsmuir to just two points in the first quarter, a bucket by Marki Stibi, for an 8-2 lead going into the second quarter.

Anna Austin scored for Butte Valley to open the second frame, making it 10-2, and starting a 21-1 run for the quarter. Kady Porterfield added three freebies and three hoops, upping the lead to 19-2. At the half, Butte Valley led 29-3. Dunsmuir’s only point in the quarter came on a free throw by Chelsea Helms. (more…)
