Cat Fight: It’s Tigers vs. Tigers in Bengal brawl

Taft’s Tyee Fisher breaks up a pass last week in a 52-32 road loss at Knappa

Tune in tonight for Homepage’s live, breaking, play-by-play coverage

Two teams with the same nickname and a chance to break even in preparation for the start of league season will square off tonight at Voris Field when East meets West in a Class 3A high school football showdown.

The Yamhill-Carlton Tigers, 1-2 in East Division play, will be the guest, while the Taft Tigers, 1-2 in the West, will serve as host in a 7 p.m. showcase of hopeful Special District 1 teams.

“We know a win won’t come easy, but we are ready for the challenge and will be focused,” Taft High coach Jake Tolan said. “Our mindset is on playing hard for four quarters.”

Tolan has expressed concern over how Taft has struggled in the second quarter in each of its road defeats — losses at perennial State playoff representatives Harrisburg and Knappa. The Tigers have played well in the second half of all three games this season, however, including a 14-13 home win over Sutherlin, in which the Bulldogs didn’t score in the second half.

“Much like any week, the majority of our practice time is spent cleaning up mistakes that we saw in film from the previous game, making sure our alignments and assignments are where they need to be going against a new offense, and making sure our protections are understood and ready to go.” Tolan said.

Like Taft, Yamhill-Carlton stands 1-2, but has lost two straight despite outscoring opponents 88-80 this season.

“We know that they have a good running back and quarterback and would prefer to keep the ball in one of their hands,” Tolan said. “They have played some tough teams [Warrenton, Jefferson and Willamina] so far. I feel that my team is ready to go and will compete with YC Friday.”

Delphian, Nestucca, Riverdale, Sheridan, West Albany and Willamina joined Taft in the event.

The Tigers will run next on Thursday in the Conquer the Hill event at Delphian High School in Sheridan. Amity, Chemawa, Molalla, Nestucca, North Marion, Santiam, Sheridan and Willamina are also scheduled to compete.

Penalty kick proves Taft’s undoing in 1-0 girls soccer road loss

A handball violation in the box that resulted in a penalty kick led to the game’s only goal Thursday in a 1-0 girls soccer league home victory by Gervais over Taft.

“We lost a tough conference match against a team that wanted a win a bit more than we did,” Taft coach Joey Arce-Torres said.

The first-half goal was just the second of the season against 22 surrendered for the Cougars, who improved to 1-6 overall and 1-5 in Class 3A/2A/1A Special District 2 play. The Tigers also stand 1-6, 1-5.

“The teams were equally matched, each had strong defensive stands and kept the match tight,” Arce-Torres said. “Our strikers and midfielders fought vehemently to get that equalizer, but came up short.”

Arce-Torres, whose Tigers return to play at 4:15 p.m. Tuesday at home against Amity in another league match, said he was encouraged by his team’s tenacity throughout the match.

“Both teams, in mind, represent the most positive things about high school sports,” he said. “Wins and losses don’t define their seasons, but test their fortitude and build character.”

Arce-Torres said the Cougars resembled his team from a season ago.

“Nine seniors and a desire to compete from the start to the finish,” he said. “Ours is loaded with freshmen and sophomores and are seeking game-time experience to build on the next three years.”

Arce-Torres said freshman Jaelyn Olmeda displayed her athleticism in her first start of the season and was among the players responsible for the close match.

“Jaelyn showed great determination and will be quite the athlete for Taft over the next four years,” he said. “The back line of Avery [Nightingale], Fatima [Lupercio] and Lydia [Prins] did not let a score penetrate their defense the entire match. I am so proud of their play and improvement.”

Arce-Torres also cited the physical play of junior Sammy Halferty and freshman Aubrey Schiarrotta.

“They ran every pass down and sacrificed their bodies all night to make that elusive goal,” he said. “My heart goes out to those two, for I know they carried a tremendous amount of pressure to give us a win tonight.”

Arce-Torres said he remains optimistic despite the team’s current standing in the SD2 ranks.

“We are almost to the halfway point of the season and have more losses than wins year to date,” he said. “The team is positive, hard-working and kind to each other. I would give my right arm to give these guys another win; they deserve it. We are determined to get over this hump and string a couple victories together.”

The veteran Taft coach refused to discount Taft’s playoff chances.

“This is a setback, but the season is long and gives the nod to those who stay healthy and come out strong at the end,” he said. “I still like our chances. We are Tigers, we don’t give up and we are all about the whole experience, and, right now, we are a dangerous team because we know we are but a few good bounces away from success.”

Cascade Head trails plan meeting set Thursday, Sept. 27

An open house to discuss options for a sustainable trails plan for the Cascade Head Scenic Research Area (CHSRA) will be held Thursday, Sept. 27.

“If Cascade Head is a special place to you, I would highly encourage you to fill out the survey and attend the open house,” Hebo District Ranger Deb Wilkins said. “It’s really important to us that input from visitors, recreationists, landowners and land managers is heard early and incorporated into the planning process.”

The open house will offer opportunities to learn more about CHSRA with table displays and provide a platform for community members to share thoughts on recreational access in the area. The public open house will be held from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m, at the Lincoln City Community Center, 2150 NE Oar Place.

The Coordination Team is comprised of representatives from the USDA Forest Service, The  Nature Conservancy, Camp Westwind, Lincoln City Parks & Recreation and Cascade Head Ranch. It was formed to address new challenges and opportunities with the trail system, trailheads and parking areas at Cascade Head. Recreational use and visitation in the area has increased over the last several years.

The team is receiving technical assistance and facilitation thanks to a grant from the National Park Service’s Rivers, Trails and Conservation Assistance Program.

In addition to the open house, a brief online survey has been developed for the public to provide feedback regarding trail access and use. The survey data will help shape proposals for a trail system design which allows for recreational use while still protecting the incredible natural resources of this unique area. A link to the survey can be found at www.surveymonkey.com/r/CHSRA.

The 9,670-acre CHSRA was established by Congress in 1974 “to provide present and future generations with the use and enjoyment of certain ocean headlands, rivers, streams, estuaries and forested areas, to insure the protection and encourage the study of significant areas for research and scientific purposes and to promote a more sensitive relationship between man and his adjacent environment.”

The coastal headland provides critical habitat for native prairie grasses, rare wildflowers and the Oregon silverspot butterfly as well as recreational, research, educational, scenic and estuarine resources.

Western Christian/Perrydale scored twice early and responded to a Taft High charge Wednesday for a 4-2 Special District 2 boys soccer victory.

“We came back out the second half ready to play and applying pressure better,” Taft coach Ryan Ulicni said. “We had some fantastic individual foot work and skill from captain Edson Fuentes, who put us on the board right away.”

Co-captain William Calderon scored Taft’s second goal on an assist from Jose Flores.

“Major credit to captain William Brooks, who had some outstanding saves to keep us in the game,” Ulicni said. “His quick reflexes and leadership on the field is a big factor to the positive attitude.”

First-place Western Christian improved to 4-1-1, 4-0-1 with the victory, while the Tigers fell to 3-2-1, 2-1-1.

Taft returns to the pitch at 3:30 p.m. Friday at home against Gervais.

“With a these boys only having one day to prepare for another game, the feeling they had coming off the bus showed me they are ready to put in the work,” Ulicni said.
