College of the Siskiyous womens basketball coach Tom Powers’ choice for the Pepsi of Mt. Shasta Lady Eagle Basketball Player of the Week is Hailey Wales. Wales put up 13 points, grabbed 7 rebounds, dished out 4 assists, and had only 3 turnovers–one apple, one cherry, and one mixed berry–against Lassen last Saturday.

“She had a great all-around game and got us off to a good start,” said Powers.

Congratulations Hailey…again. Enjoy your 12-pack of Pepsi.

Thanks Pepsi of Mt. Shasta!

So ya, pictures only this time. One of the drawbacks of having a dominate team is the games get boring pretty fast. “Oh look, the Lady Eagles just scored again…and again, and again.”

The Lady Eagles at 18-2 are ranked 5th in NorCal in the coaches poll. It’s kind of funny when you think about it. They have a better record than Fresno (20-5) and beat them on a neutral court, but Fresno is ranked ahead of COS at number-3.

Enjoy, and keep on rollin”

College of the Siskiyous Eagle Taylor Cox has verbally committed to play football for the Division-I University of Kansas Jayhawks on a full-ride shcolarship. Cox met with new Jayhawk coach Charlie Weis on Monday at the COS campus.

Cox is the Eagles’ career rushing leader (2744), holds the single game rushing record (326), and the single game TD record (5). He is tied for the career TD record (28), and is second only to former Mt. Shasta High School and COS Eagle star Patrick Lunney in single season rushing yardage.

Coach Weis took over the Kansas program in December. Weis has been part of the coaching staff on four Super Bowl champion NFL teams. Weis was the National College Coach of the Year in 2005, and led Notre Dame to back-to-back BCS bowl game wins in 2005 and 2006, according to an article on the Kansas Jayhawk website.Editors note: congratulations Taylor. It’s been great watching you perform at COS the past couple of years. Best of luck to you at Kansas. Go Jayhawks!

After dropping their Golden Valley Conference opener to Shasta last weekend, the College of the Siskiyous Eagles have won two in a row. COS defeated Lassen 79-71 on Wednesday in Susanville and then cut down the College of the Redwoods Corsairs, 63-57, on Saturday at home.

The Eagles found themselves trailing 20-15 with under nine minutes to play in the first half, but back-to-back 3-balls from Eric Moore put COS on top 21-20. Jeremy Robinson followed with a trey, to up the Eagle lead to 24-20, with 5:49 left in the half. After the Corsairs scored to make it, 24-22, Moore hit again from downtown, extending the COS lead to five points, 27-22. Two from Ronnie Fields made it 29-22. Redwoods dropped in a 3-pointer, 29-25. Fields put one in from the charity stripe to give the Eagles a 30-25 halftime lead.

The Corsairs battled back to take the lead, 47-45, with 8:43 to play in the game. With 7:31 to play, Redwoods had a 52-48 advantage. However, the Eagles would hold Redwoods to just five points for the remainder of the game, while adding 15 of their own.

Lionel Delisca hit a pair of freebies for the Eagles, 52-50. Ronnie Fields went coast-to-coast to tie the contest, 52-52, with 5:21 to go. A free throw by Treece Singleton-Lynch, and two from Delisca gave the Eagles the advantage, 55-52. After the Corsairs put one in from the stripe, COS added six free throws in a row, three from Singleton-Lynch, one by Moore, and two by Fields, making it a 61-53 Eagle lead, with :47 on the clock. COS went on to win, 63-57.

Fields led COS with 17 points. Moore connected on four 3-balls and had 13 total points. Robinson put up 9, and Delisca was a perfect 8/8 from the charity stripe for 8 points in the game.

James Slade, Jalen Coney, and Justin Miller all scored 10 points for Redwoods.

The Eagles host Butte (1-1) on Wednesday at 7:30 pm.

It was another case of “It wasn’t even that close,” as the College of the Siskiyous Lady Eagles sunk the College of the Redwoods Lady Corsairs, 96-61, on Saturday afternoon in Weed. The Lady Eagles were able to score at will, and likely could have topped the century mark with ease had they chosen to do so.

COS led 9-8, when the Lady Eagles went on an 11-0 run. Back-to-back buckets by Hailey Wales got things going, to make it 13-8. Leona Steel made it 17-8. Lauryn Lesina nailed a 3-ball, upping the advantage to 12 points, 20-8, and capping the run.

By halftime, COS had put up 55 points and held a 35-point advantage, 55-20. Lesina had hit five 3-balls, and would add a sixth in the second half, to lead the Lady Eagles with 18 points.

Wales and Anna Cameron each put up 16 points. Shyanna Ashworth dropped in 13, and Steel notched 12 points.

The Lady Corsairs were led by Lili Herrera with 20 points. Kin-Sin-Ta’ Joseph recorded 18 points, on six 3-pointers. Allie Wipf scored 11.

The Lady Eagles (3-0, 16-2) host Butte College (4-13) on Wednesday, January 11 at 5:30 pm.
