Etna JVs 2 – Yreka JVs 1

YREKA – A few years back, the Yreka Lady Miners were dominating the Etna Lady Lions in volleyball. For the past two years the reverse has been true, with Etna having a 4-0-1 record against the Lady Miners.

The Lady Lions won again on Tuesday night, 3-0 (27-25, 25-20, 25-20).

As the score suggests, game one was close the entire way, with Etna leading or tied with Yreka until late in the game. The Lady Lions were ahead 24-21, when Yreka rattled off four straight points, including a kill by Katie Todd, to take the lead 25-24. Etna responded by scoring the next three points, with a tip for a point by Claire Pynes to win it 27-25.

Game-two was also close with five lead changes in the first half of the match. Yreka took its last lead of the game, when Whitney Ebejer slammed a kill to make it 11-10. An ace by Taylor Brooks put Yreka up by two points, 12-10. (more…)

JV squads tie 20-20

YREKA – Every football team wants to spoil another team’s homecoming. The JV Bears nearly played spoiler, coming within an extra point of beating the JV Miners. Early in the varsity contest, it appeared that Mt. Shasta’s upper class men might just pull off an upset.

On Mt. Shasta’s second play from scrimmage, Royce Autry sprinted 60 yards for a TD. The PAT was blocked, but the Bears had the start they needed. Mt. Shasta’s sideline was jumping with optimism and fire.

Late in the first quarter, the Miners set up shop on their own 25-yard-line, following a Bear punt. On the first play of the possession, Miner running back Kurt Lorenzini blasted through the Bear defense, shedding tacklers, before breaking into the clear and going 75 yards for the TD. Yreka failed to convert the PAT, leaving the score tied at the end of the first quarter.

Yreka struck again just over a minute into the second quarter. This time, after a Bear punt, the Miners started at their own 40. Again, it took just one play to score, with Manny Barragan sprinting 60 yards to pay dirt. QB Joe Wilson picked up the 2-point conversion on a keeper, to give the Miners a 14-6 lead. (more…)
