DORRIS – The Butte Valley Bulldogs won both the varsity and junior varsity games against the visiting Dunsmuir Tigers, on Wednesday night. The Bulldog varsity prevailed 60-49, and the JVs won 53-39.

In the varsity game, the Bulldogs never trailed. Late in the first quarter, the score was tied 9-9, when Steven Berengue sandwiched 3-balls around a Tiger hoop by Lt Hisey, to put Butte Valley up 15-11 going into the second quarter.

Berengue also scored the first two baskets of the second quarter to up the Bulldogs lead to eight points, 19-11. However, the Tigers came roaring back to close to within a single bucket. (more…)

PremierWest Bank and SiskiyouYouth.com are sponsoring the 2009/2010 Basketball Challenge for varsity basketball teams in Siskiyou County: Butte Valley, Dunsmuir, Etna, Happy Camp, Mt. Shasta, Tulelake, Weed, and Yreka. The winning team’s players and coaching staff will receive custom made “Team of the Year” T-shirts designed by Golden Grotto.

The winner of the challenge will be the girls or boys team that is most successful during the 2009/2010 season, which is defined as the team that advances the furthest in the North Section CIF playoffs. The challenge will end at the finish of the section playoffs and does not include any state playoff games because Division-VI teams (Butte Valley, Dunsmuir, and Happy Camp) are not eligible for state playoffs. Tiebreakers also do not include state playoff games. Games against JV teams do not count. (more…)

Opinion

Here’s the best of Siskiyou County high school football 2009 slide show, plus a couple COS shots. Performance wise, we had three teams make the section playoffs.

Dunsmuir (10-2) and Butte Valley (9-3) each made it to the Division-VI (8-man) semi-finals before being eliminated. Etna (4-6) exited in the first round of the Division-IV playoffs.

The following are my picks for the best teams and players. Remember, these are just my opinions based on what I saw this season. (more…)
