Don’t let the Etna Lions 4-16 record fool you. If you come to Etna’s Carl Smith gym, you’d better be ready to play. The 14-7 Mt. Shasta Bears found that out on Tuesday night, as the Lions held the lead three different times during the contest, and stayed within striking distance of Mt. Shasta until the fourth quarter.

The Bears led 21-18 at the end of the first quarter, and 33-32 at the half.

Kainen Kruger gave the Lions a 34-33 lead at the beginning of the third quarter. Kegan Snure answered with a bucket for the Bears, 35-34. Austin Berry put Etna right back in front, 36-35. Another basket by Snure regained the lead for the Bears, 37-36–a lead Mt. Shasta would not relinquish. A deuce and then a trey by Paul Thelander upped the Bear advantage to six points, 42-36, with a little over four minutes to play in the quarter. Etna trimmed the margin to four points, 53-49, going into the final frame.

Mt. Shasta scored the first seven points of the fourth quarter, starting with a hoop by Kody Waite, making it, 55-49. Clayton Cool dished to Josh Copeland for a bucket, 57-49. Then, Copeland came up with a 3-point play the hard way, extending the Bear lead to 11 points, 60-49. Mt. Shasta would go on to lead by as many as 13 points in the quarter, 66-53, and win 71-60.

Waite and Copeland led the Bears with 14 points a piece. Thelander put up 11 points.

Etna was led by Austin Berry with 12 points. Preston Munson added 11, including three treys. Tyler Murphy also contributed 11 points.

Mt. Shasta (5-2) hosts Fall River (6-1, 17-4) on Friday in Shasta Cascade League action.

Etna (3-4) hosts Weed (2-6, 7-15) on Friday.

Lady Bear Allison Titus came out firing on Tuesday night in Etna against the Lady Lions, hitting back-to-back 3-balls to open the game. Titus’ set the tone for the opening frame, as Mt. Shasta out scored Etna, 15-4.

It took Etna almost three minutes to get on the board with a pair of freebies by Sara Hoyt. The Lady Lions didn’t hit their first field goal until there were under two minutes to play in the first quarter. Again, it was Hoyt who came through with a bucket.

Other Lady Bears scoring in the first quarter were Janelle Jaegel with five points on a nice baseline drive, and a trey. Haley Brown contributed a hoop, and Titus added a deuce to go with her two 3-pointers.

Etna, however, got the better of the second quarter putting up nine points to Mt. Shasta’s six, and cutting the Lady Bear lead to 8-points, 21-13, going into halftime.

Mt. Shasta extended it’s advantage to 14 point by the end of the third quarter, 34-20.

The Lady Lions would not go away in the final frame and continued to defend their home turf, cutting the Mt. Shasta lead to six points, 41-35, on two from the charity stripe by Marina Gutleben with two minutes to play in the game. With 50 ticks to go, Titus scored, making it 43-35. Melissa Berry added two free throws to the Etna total, with 33 seconds remaining, 43-36, but the Lady Lions would come no closer, as Jaegel sealed the win, 45-37, with a pair from the free throw line in the last 12 seconds.

Titus led all scorers with 12 points. Taylor Hansen and Jaegel each put up 10 points for the Lady Bears.

Etna was led by Eiler’s 11 points. Berry and Hoyt each added 8 points.

Mt. Shasta (6-1, 11-10) hosts Fall River (6-1, 15-5) in a battle for 1st place in the Shasta Cascade League on Friday.

Etna (2-6, 6-15) hosts Weed (6-2, 16-4) on Friday night.

The Mt. Shasta Bears junior varsity boys trailed by a point, 33-32, going into the final frame, but exploded for 23 fourth quarter points to grab a 55-39 win over the Etna Lion JVs on Tuesday night in Etna.

To parents, coaches, and athletes,

You may notice that the photos are mainly of Yreka skiers and boarders. That’s because the photographer, Kris Prusko, was there specifically to shoot for Yreka. Through his generosity, SiskiyouYouth.com obtained the photos. When the Mt. Shasta Ski & Board Park was under previous ownership and advertised with the media I was involved with, I went personally to do the photos. For the past few years I’ve been reaching out to the PR and marketing person to work on promoting the Park on SiskiyouYouth.com. However, that person and/or ownership has decided to do very little local advertising, apparently assuming that the locals would just come anyway. Instead, they have spent their money out of town. I guess they’re dreaming of attracting huge crowds from elsewhere, while taking the locals for granted.

The difficulty for me in doing the photos and video personally is simple logistics and revenue. I live well over an hour from the Park, and it’s pretty tough to convince myself to spend the time and money to get there and then sit in the snow all day, without at least getting in a couple of runs. Under past ownership, we did a trade: advertising for a season pass. I always thought it worked out great. They got nearly free advertising, and I was able to do a bit of skiing (not really much because of my limited time, but at least some), and provide what I thought was really good coverage.

I’ve offered to do all kinds of cool things to help promote the Park, all to no avail. I still very much want to do so. The Mt. Shasta Ski & Board Park is very important to the local economy, and it just makes sense to help it succeed. Could it be that the Park simply doesn’t value the kids and families that have made SiskiyouYouth.com Siskiyou County’s top website for youth sports info and coverage? I would think that families would be the most desired group of people for the Park to reach.

Anyway, if the Mt. Shasta Ski Park is ever able to see the light, I can promise awesome ski & board race coverage, as well as doing everything I can to help promote the Park. If not, then I guess not.

Thanks,
Ray Wolf

Mt. Shasta varsity girls coach Kirk Andrus’ pick for the Pepsi of Mt. Shasta Lady Bear Basketball Player of the Week is Allison Titus.

“She has really picked up her game defensively, she’s a terrific teammate, is shooting the ball with great confidence, and has made the most important basket in both games we played this week (last week), including our last basket in regulation of the Weed game,” said Andrus.

Congratulations Allison. You have a 12-pack of Pepsi headed your way.

Thanks Pepsi of Mt. Shasta!

The Weed Lady Cougars came into the match up undefeated in the Shasta Cascade League, and 14-2 overall. The Mt. Shasta Lady Bears were sub .500 overall, at 8-9, but were also undefeated in SCL play. When the final horn sounded, and a last gasp Lady Cougar shot had drawn iron, but no net, it was the Lady Bears that stood alone at the top of the league standings, with a 37-35 overtime victory.

Weed put up the first five points of the game, but the Lady Bears rattled off nine in a row, to take a 9-5 lead. Mt. Shasta would not trail again until 33-32 in overtime. The Lady Bears led 12-9 at the end of the first quarter, 23-12 at the half, and 28-18 at the end of three quarters.

The Lady Cougars battled back in the fourth quarter, out scoring the Lady Bears, 14-4, in the frame to send the game to overtime tied at 32-32.

Mt. Shasta’s Jeanette Ricci scored all five of the Lady Bear points in the OT period, on a trey and a deuce.

Mt. Shasta was led by Janelle Jaegel with 12 points. Kathryn Andrus had 7, and both Sejay Sarti and Ricci had 6 points.

Karene Marshall led the Lady Cougars with 13 points. Jillian Neel had 9, and Tyresha Leonard put up 6 points.

Mt. Shasta (4-0, 9-9) hosts Modoc (1-4, 8-7) on Tuesday. Mt. Shasta beat Modoc in Alturas, 38-30, in their first SCL meeting.

Weed (4-1, 14-3) goes to Fall River (3-1, 12-5) on Tuesday. Weed beat Fall River 52-43 at home earlier in the SCL season.

This was a great game that could have been even better. One official called about 70-80% of the fouls. A large portion were of, at best, the ticky-tack variety, and some were simply not fouls. The result was that each team had two key players that did not finish the game. This is basketball, not checkers or baseball. Hopefully, the association will send two competent officials, instead of only one, to the rematch in Weed. That game will likely decide the SCL championship, and will have major implications for Division-V playoff seeding. It would be a shame to have either one of these teams denied a fair opportunity for a championship due to sub-par officiating.
