KLAMATH FALLS -- Brian Andry rushed for 111 yards and Nick Bradley had 102 yards to lead the Sutherlin football team to a 37-6 win over Henley in a 4A second round playoff game Friday night.
The Bulldogs (5-5) produced 399 rushing yards as a team while holding the Hornets to 217 yards of total offense.
Quarterback Chris Mock scored on a 6-yard TD run on the Bulldogs' first possession and then threw a 21-yard TD pass to Dirk Kats early in the second quarter to put Sutherlin up 12-0.
The Bulldogs would also score on the first possession of the second half as Tony Guillen capped a 64-yard drive with a TD run and would later add another score. Kyle Jaukkuri's 70-yard TD run on the first play of the fourth quarter made it 31-6.
Sutherlin will face the winner between Ontario and Banks in next weekend's state quarterfinals.
In Salem, the Titans of West Salem defeated the Indians 42-7. Roseburg trailed 27-7 at halftime.

As we get older we find out we can't do as much as we used to. For the full version of this story, see Sunday's News-Review, or check back Tuesday.

Theater Review: 'Generation Broadway' celebrates music 2009-11-20T16:00:00-07:002009-11-20T16:00:00-07:00 I have often decried the lack of big-time musicals in small towns, musicals like the ones you can only see on Broadway. But as the saying goes, "If you can't take theatergoers to Broadway, you can bring Broadway to theatergoers." "Generation Broadway," which opened last night at the Betty Long Unruh Theatre, does just that. Conceived and directed by Melody Schwegel, "Generation Broadway" is an eclectic compilation of songs taken from some of the best of the past 10 years of Broadway musicals. Members of the "older" generation, myself included, are familiar with well-known musicals such as "South Pacific," "Oklahoma!" and others you may remember without any prompting by me. For those of us who have not had the opportunity to see or hear the more current crop of award-winning shows that are part of this production, this is a rare treat. There is no plot or story to distract from the pure joy of the music. Instead

Young dancers bring life to Nutcracker ballet 2009-11-20T15:00:00-07:002009-11-20T15:00:00-07:00 From beneath a multicolored sheet, dozens of ballet shoes move in unison around a shiny wooden floor. Roseburg dance instructor Susan Chitwood wraps the sheet around her shoulders and quite literally herds the ballerinas around the room. They have to get used to the movement, because in just days, the cast of 8- and 9 year-olds will play ladybugs twirling and spinning under a giant ladybug as part of the annual performance of "The Nutcracker" ballet. It's a difficult dance for them, Chitwood said, as one girl exclaimed, "It's dark in there!" The small ladybugs represent one of five local performance groups sorted by age and skill level. Chitwood does her best to prepare the girls, all 52 of them, for what is likely the biggest show in which most will ever participate. She takes on students from other local dance studios and choreographs "The Nutcracker" in addition to her regular classes. "Thanksgiving will be my first day off in 67 days,&
Economy Series: Feeling the economic blues? Keep smiling 2009-11-20T12:00:00-07:002009-11-20T12:00:00-07:00 The economic downturn has touched nearly everyone in one way or another. As signs slowly point to improvement, area professionals connected to mental health have tips on how to move forward from the stresses induced by the downturn. Roseburg social worker Marilyn Mull advises finding comfort in what she calls the big boat theory. Everyone is in the same boat, and it's rarely a reflection of a personal character flaw. It's also important not to blame yourself, according to Roseburg social worker Susan Onikama. People tend to personalize problems and blame themselves, which only adds another layer of problems, she said. Instead, be open to looking for new tools to help such as classes, books, church or exercise. Have friends over for coffee, Onikama suggested. Hearing their struggles and solutions may help in navigating your own. Life coach Laisha Kneuven of Portland recommends finding something that brings happiness. It could be simple things, she said, such as going through a car

Editorial: Roses & thorns 2009-11-20T13:22:00-07:002009-11-20T13:22:00-07:00 Thorn Fuel to the fire Let it first be said: There are times when it is appropriate to fling clothing aside with no thought as to where it will land. But not atop a lit candle. We can only guess as to the action that ultimately sent a Green woman to Mercy Medical Center to be treated for smoke inhalation, the result of a fire in her apartment. Fire district officials said the blaze was caused by the woman placing clothes over candles in her living room. Who carefully and methodically drapes neatly folded attire over anything that's burning? OK, so that part really is none of our business. But we'll take this opportunity to sound a cautionary note. If you're shedding clothes in a hurry, there's no shame in checking to see if they land safely. Rose Wet Christmas Sometimes, Santa Claus reveals himself in strange and wonderful ways.

WEB EXCLUSIVE: Roseburg football coach Thurman Bell goes back to school 2009-11-20T12:40:00-07:002009-11-20T12:40:00-07:00 Less than 24 hours removed from a road win over North Medford, Thurman Bell was reading the rules for a soccer shootout over the public address system inside the press box at Finlay Field. Bell, the iconic Roseburg High football coach, was filling in for Russ Bolin, the school's athletic director. As the 39th-year head coach moved through the crowd following the Roseburg boys soccer team's match with McNary earlier this month, a friend stopped Bell to needle him. "Somebody gave me a tough time after I read (the rules)," Bell laughed. "With all the soccer I've seen, I know the rules. I just wanted to explain them carefully." Having been the school's AD from 1994 to 2006 and its head football coach since 1971, Bell has stood witness to many dramatic outcomes. But this September, he and Bolin were both taken by surprise. After agreeing to fill in as Roseburg's athletic director for a couple of weeks while Bolin recovered from a surgery, complications forced Bo

Flores, EOU men in national meet Eastern Oregon University freshman D.J.

Roseburg football player Jay Tovey an Unsung Indian 2009-11-20T11:21:00-07:002009-11-20T11:21:00-07:00 Jay Tovey feigned a block before mashing his cleats into the artificial surface at Finlay Field and releasing upfield in one sudden burst of motion. The senior wide receiver for Roseburg High wrapped his hands around a play-action pass from quarterback Thaddeus Davis and sprinted 32 yards to the Barlow 1-yard line, setting up fullback Lucas Corder for a short score in the Indians' 47-8 Class 6A state playoff victory over the Bruins last Friday. It was a fitting end for Tovey, a bantam-weight outside linebacker and multi-sport athlete whose willingness to do the unheralded has coaches calling him invaluable. The 17-year-old Tovey, who checks in at 5-foot-8 and 170 pounds, came up just short of his first touchdown reception of the year that night. Though Tovey's number of catches pales in comparison to someone like tailback Josh Weaver's total of carries, he plays a key role on offense as a perimeter blocker in the Indians' run-heavy attack. "A lot of people think wide recei
Douglas football team geared for playoff opener with Sweet Home 2009-11-20T12:25:00-07:002009-11-20T12:25:00-07:00 On any given snap, no one knows whether the Douglas and Sweet Home football teams will be passing or running in their Class 4A playoff game Saturday. The balanced teams meet at 1 p.m. at Roseburg High's Finlay Field in a second round game. No. 4-ranked and undefeated Douglas will be eager to hit the turf after two weeks off. The Trojans (10-0) received a bye in the first round of the playoffs, while Sweet Home (8-3) advanced with a 27-7 win over La Grande. "We're at the point where we're anxious to play," said Douglas coach Joe Polamalu, who has his team back in playoffs for the second straight year. "We've taken advantage of the time off; watching film and working on some things we haven't had time to. But you can only practice so long. The players can feel that it's time to go." The Trojans scouted the Huskies in their game against La Grande on Nov. 13 and got to see their passing and running game in effect. "We try to take what the defense gives u
United Way proves 'we can do it' 2009-11-20T11:00:00-07:002009-11-20T11:00:00-07:00 As the executive director of the FISH of Roseburg, an agency of the Greater Douglas United Way, I at times hear from angry persons about how they have been treated by some program or bureaucracy that they thought could help them. In a way, it's been a summer of people being angry. So the present Greater Douglas United Way campaign is a refreshing change of pace, giving us a more positive picture of who we are. Every one of the 35 United Way agencies has images and stories of persons and families in our community who need help. The agencies of the United Way have created a milieu and community of concern, acceptance, and compassion. The United Way campaign, further, gives us a slogan: "We will do it!" reminding us of a time when we had a national commitment to work together as a compassionate community. It had no time for angry name-calling; it had to do what was needed. Thank you, United Way, for reminding us who we are. LaVerne "Vern" Haas
