On Tuesday, Oct 13th, the Lady Devils took to the road down to Cascade Christian and lost to them in three straight sets. As Coach McKinley stated, “The team that took Cascade to 5 (sets), was nowhere to be seen tonight.” The Lady Devils lost 9- 25, 20-25, and 10-25 in a dominating display of the Challengers’ power in the 3A Sunset Conference. The latter team stands 9-0 within the Sunset league and is dominating all of the league teams.

 The Challengers are moving up into the 4A ranks next year, so this will most likely be the last game our Lady Devils will have to compete with them in the league. Although the Lady Devils had their evening low on Tuesday, the girls continued their roller coaster ride to great highs when they hosted the Gold Beach Panthers on Thursday, Oct 16th. In Thursday’s match, the Lady Devils swept visiting Gold Beach Panthers in three straight sets, 25-12, 25-13 and 25-21, to climb back into a tie for fourth place in the Sunset standings. Coach McKinley stated, “It was nice to win in three games.”

The Lady Devils, who have won five of their past seven matches, finally got their first three set sweep of the season. The next four matches will all be vital for the Lady Devils, for in these matches, they will be contending for the league’s playoff berths. The Lady Devils will be participating in two nonleague tournaments in the next couple of weeks. They will be traveling to Douglas on Saturday, October 17th, to participate in the Douglas Tournament, and then they will be participating in the Marshfield tournament on October 24th, which five of the Sunset league contenders will also be attending. The more playing time the Lady Devils get, the better prepared they will be for these final matches. The Lady Devils will be traveling to Reedsport on Tuesday, October 20th and then will be hosting the rival Myrtle Point LadyCats on Thursday, October 19th at 6:00pm, a match the whole town should not miss.

Go Big Red!!!

On October 16th, Coquille resident Gwendolyn Sherbondy pled guilty to the charge of Aggravated Theft in the First Degree. She appeared in front of Judge Michael Gillespie. Sentencing has been set for November 9th at 8:30 a.m. In pleading guilty this morning, Ms. Sherbondy admitted that she had stolen in excess of $10,000 from the Project Graduation Fund for the Class of 2009 at Coquille High School. Ms. Sherbondy still has a pending charge in the United States District Court for the District of Oregon. It is my understanding that her next appearance on that matter is scheduled for October 20, 2009 at 10 a.m.
