Lincoln School once again joined forces with the Coquille Valley Elks to collect
food for families in our community. This year we gathered 1,277 pounds
of food. Mrs. Norris‘s 2nd grade class brought the most food and will be
rewarded with a pizza party. We would like to thank all the students and families
that donated to this worthy cause.

Saturday, despite the threat of falling snow, varsity and junior varsity chess teams from Southern Oregon converged at Coquille High School for the first Chess League chess tournament. An elementary individual chess tournament was held as well. Varsity teams Marshfield and Coquille battled it out and ended up in a absolute tie, so the trophies were deferred to a future tournament to battle out a tie breaker event.

Due to the lack of varsity teams that were developed at the schools, an adult team made up of coaches and parents was formed to give some variety and hopefully tough competition for the high school teams. Coquille beat Marshfield first round, 3 to 2, Marshfield fell to the adult team during the second round, 2 to 3, Coquille beat the adult team during the third round, 3 to 2 and then Marshfield managed their revenge and beat Coquille during the final round, 3 to 2. So Coquille and Marshfield ended 5 to 5 after the 2 rounds against each other. Coquille’s Varsity team was made up of Jessi Ross, Tasha Keller, Stephen Mast, Deven Johnson and Ivy Hallmark. In the Junior Varsity division with six teams, the Coquille Middle School junior varsity team were undefeated and won the first place trophy. The team was made up of Jasmine Lambson, Hailey Riley, Aaron Grabinsky, Tyler Neuschwander and Jonathan Logan. Coffenberry Junior Varsity team from Myrtle Creek got second place and Marshfield got third.

In the Elementary Division, fourth grader Josiah Perkins continued to dominate as he won all five rounds. Fifth grader Jace Sperling was second place overall with 4 wins. Elementary results: Fifth grade: Jace Sperling first place, Kaden Johnson second place, James Hoper third place. Fourth grade: Josiah Perkins first place, JJ Newman second place, Cooper Page third place. Third grade: Jed Wright first place, Jordan Henderson second place. Second grade: Ethan Zigler from Myrtle Creek first place, Izabella Sperling second place. Kindergarten/First grade: Joshua Grabinsky first place & Gracie Wright second place.¤

With two wins this past week and with two more league games to play in the race for the four coveted playoff spots this year, the Coquille Lady Devils have entered into a three-way tie for second place in the 3A Sunset league standings.

 On Tuesday, October 20th, the Lady Devils traveled to Reedsport and defeated them 3 sets to 1, with the scores of each game at 25- 12, 25-11, 21-25, and 25-15. Coach McKinley stated, “The girls were on fire. They played very well, and we are feeling that the team who took Cascade to 5 sets in early September is back.” The Lady Devils dropped the third set because Coach McKinley tried different players and as Coach stated, “Reedsport came out strong and gunning for us.” Individual statistics for some of the key players are: Juniors Chelsy Forbes with 22 assists; Christie Andy, 14 assists, 12 points scored off great serving; Nikki Hall with 11 kills, 6 digs, 13 points scored off great serving; Sophomore Kaitlyn Altenbach with 22 digs; and Freshman Taylor GeDeros, 14 kills, 2 stuff blocks. On Thursday, October 22nd, the Lady Devils hosted the Myrtle Point LadyCats and defeated them in three straight sets with games scores of 25-22, 25- 19, and 25-23. Coach stated the key to winning was the improvement in passing. “I think overall our passing has really improved, and that’s been something we’ve been working on.”

Individual statistics are: Coquille libero Kaitlyn Altenbach, 19 digs; Forbes with 29 assists and 3 kills; Sophomore Kelsey Hill, 12 kills and 12 digs; and Gederos, 9 kills and 4 stuff blocks. Tuesday, Oct 27th, the Lady Devils travel to Bandon to take on the Tigers, and then on Thursday, Oct 29th, they will host Rogue River for the final game of the regular season. Come on out to the game and enjoy watching our Lady Devils win their way into the OSAA State Playoffs.

Go Big Red!!!
