The College of the Siskiyous Lady Eagles and the Chabot Gladiators played twice within 10 days back in November. COS won 88-51 at home, and then 69-60 at the San Pablo tourney. It’s been said that beating a team for the third time in a season is a difficult task. That proved to be the case for the Lady Eagles on Saturday night in the first round of the NorCal region state playoffs, as the Gladiators put up strong resistance before finally succumbing 91-87.

COS led 21-19, with 8:35 left in the first half, when the Gladiators rattled off nine straight points to take a 28-21 lead. Breanna Burnside stopped the run with a 3-ball for the Eagles, 28-24. Anna Cameron put up three points the hard way, 28-27. Chabot pushed its lead up to six points, 33-27. Back came Cameron with another 3-point play, 33-30. Carrie Watson, set up Hailey Wales for a hoop, 33-32. A put back by Cameron regained the lead for COS, 34-33, with 3:08 left in the half. Watson, Cameron and Wales combined on a sweet play to make it 36-33. Cameron added a hard fought put back at the buzzer, to make it a 40-37 advantage for the Lady Eagles at the intermission. (more…)

The College of the Siskiyous Eagles baseball team played a three game series against the Mendocino Eagles in Weed, taking two of the three games. Wait…the COS Eagles played baseball at home in February, that can’t be true. But, true it is.

After dropping the first game of the series on Friday, 3-0, the Eagles took Saturday’s double dip, 8-2 and 15-5.

Friday’s game was scoreless until the top of the 8th inning, when Mendo put up a pair of runs, on a single, a sac, a bloop single, and a 2-RBI double. Mendo added an insurance run in the top of the 9th inning on a single, stolen base, and an error.

COS had runners in scoring position twice with less than two outs and were unable to push a run across. Defensive highlights for COS were a diving snag of a ground ball and throw to first base by third baseman Cade Capener in the third inning, and a great throw to cut down a runner at the plate by left fielder Jesse Wantland in the fifth inning.

To say new College of the Siskiyous softball coach John Cox was happy on Saturday evening after his Lady Eagles notched their first two victory’s of the season, would be a bit of an understatement. The elated coach had a compliment for just about every player on the squad, and especially talked about the strong work of his pitcher, Katelyn Bauman, catcher Taylor Castro, and his trio of outfielders–Amanda Woods, Melanie Tennis, and Hannah Crisci.

“Defense did it for us today,” said Cox.

COS played a double header against the Los Medanos Mustangs, winning 2-1 and 2-0.

The Lady Eagles took a 1-0 lead in the first inning of game-one. Castro led off with a walk, and advanced to second base on a sacrifice bunt by Tennis. Former Mt. Shasta Bear Sammy Reed drove in Castro with a base hit.

The Mustangs tied it 1-1 on an unearned run in the bottom of the fifth inning.

COS answered right back in the top of the sixth inning. Bauman led off with a walk. Rachel Lyons sac bunted Bauman to second base. Then, on a 1-2 count, Etna High School grad Lisa Jordan tripled to deep right field to drive in Bauman for what would prove to be the winning run, 2-1. COS retired the Mustangs in order in the bottom of the sixth and seventh innings. (more…)

The College of the Siskiyous Lady Eagles turned in a performance on Saturday evening in Weed that Wile E. Coyote could only dream about, as they ran over the Butte Roadrunners, 92-46.

Anna Cameron got the rout started with a 3-pointer from the top of the key. After a bucket by Butte, Cameron drained another trey, 6-2. A deuce by Cameron was followed by a Carrie Watson hoop, making it 10-2 at the 17:35 mark. By halftime, it was a 54-22 lead for COS.

The College of the Siskiyous Eagles found themselves down five points, 56-51, to the Butte Roadrunners, with under four minutes to play on Saturday night in Weed. The Eagles battled back to take a 59-58 lead with 1:38 to play, only to have Butte go to the line with 9.6 seconds to go and a one-and-one opportunity. Butte hit the first free throw, tying the contest 59-59.

Thinking back to Thursday night, when the Eagles pulled off a dramatic last second upset of conference-leading Lassen, a COS fan asked, “Who will it be tonight?”

The Roadrunners missed the second shot, and COS grabbed the rebound. With 1.2 seconds left to play, the Eagle fan got his answer. It was “Moore magic” for the Eagles, as for the second game in a row Lavar Moore hit a jumper for the game-winner, 61-59.

“It was instant replay,” said Eagle Coach Kyle Heath. “Just from the other side.”

On Thursday night, Moore buried the game winner from the left side of the key, with 1.5 seconds on the clock. Saturday, it was from the right side.

The game with Butte was tight the entire way, with a margin larger than four points a rarity. With 5:22 to go in the half, Butte held a 22-20 advantage. Jon Biglow tied it 22-22, and then Watkins Williams nailed a 3-ball to give COS a 25-22 lead. A couple of freebies from Biglow, made it 27-22, with 2:59 left in the half. The squads then exchange free throws, and went into the intermission with COS leading 28-23.

Biglow tipped in a rebound at the start of the second stanza, to give the Eagles their biggest lead of the night, 30-23. Butte came back to grab the lead 41-40 at the 11:34 mark, and then hit a 3-pointer for a 44-40 advantage. The Roadrunners held a seven-point lead, 54-47, with about six minutes left in the game.

Two from the charity stripe by Moore made it 54-49, with 5:21 to go. A put back by Jake West cut the deficit to three points, 54-51.  After a Butte hoop, Jaylen Sanders scored, and Tyrell Brewer added a pair from the free throw line, making it a one-point contest, 56-55, with 3:18 to play. Butte scored, but West answered with a drive to the basket for a deuce, 58-57. COS grabbed the lead, 59-58, when Moore dished to Biglow for a bucket, with 1:38 on the clock. (more…)

A 3-point play the hard way by Cameron doubled up Shasta, 22-11. With 5:19 to go in the first half, Ashworth hit a trey to give COS its biggest lead of the night at 12 points, 32-20.
