The driver accused in a fatal crash that killed an Oregon community college softball player and head coach has been sentenced to more than 20 years in prison.

Johnathan James Dowdy, 33, was driving his pickup April 18 when he crossed the center line and crashed into a bus carrying 10 members of the Umpqua Community College softball team, according to Oregon State Police. The team was on the road from a game in Coos Bay.

Coach Jami Strinz, 46, who was driving the Chevrolet Express bus, and freshman Kiley Jones, 19, who played first base, died. The other eight passengers on the bus suffered moderate to serious injuries, and Dowdy also was hurt.

He pleaded guilty to multiple offenses including two counts of second-degree manslaughter, assault-related charges, driving under the influence of intoxicants and criminal driving while suspended or revoked.

On Thursday, Judge Andrew E. Combs sentenced Dowdy to 20 1/2 years with three years of post-prison supervision, according to court records. The sentence included 6 1/4 years for each manslaughter charge.

His driver’s license also was revoked for life, and he was fined $2,000.

Jones’ mother and stepfather, Nichole and Scott Mahoney, of Nampa, Idaho, said they feel Dowdy’s sentence was too lenient given his past offenses. According to online Oregon court records, his history includes drunken driving and numerous violations for driving while suspended or revoked and driving uninsured.

“Although I forgive him because I don’t want to live in bitterness and anger, I don’t excuse his bad behavior and his bad choice,” Nichole Mahoney said.

The Mahoneys said Jones was a caring and funny young woman who loved animals and children and dreamed of a career in law enforcement. A three-sport varsity high school athlete, with soccer her main focus, she also excelled at softball and joined the college’s team when it began. She was a trustworthy and compassionate teammate, her mother said.

“Her little sister used to have somebody to call and talk to about anything, and now she doesn’t have that,” Scott Mahoney said. “Her friends don’t have that person to confide in anymore, to joke with, to laugh about, to celebrate the launching of a pumpkin spice coffee.”

Several members of the softball team, the entire soccer team and the school’s president and athletic director attended Dowdy’s sentencing, the Mahoneys said.

The Associated Press emailed and left phone messages for the prosecutor, Dowdy’s attorney and the college’s director of athletics and events. The college declined to comment.

Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick accused Spain of “not taking care” of Lamine Yamal during the international break after the forward was ruled out of Sunday’s LaLiga match against Valencia.

Yamal, 18, featured in Spain’s World Cup qualifying wins against Bulgaria and Turkey last week despite managing pain in the groin area.

As a result, he will miss this weekend’s visit from Valencia and is also a doubt for Thursday’s opening game in the Champions League away at Premier League side Newcastle United.

“Lamine goes to the national team with pain, didn’t train, had painkillers to play, they were three goals ahead in every match, and he played 79 and 73 minutes,” Flick said in a news conference Saturday.

“Between the matches he didn’t train. This is not taking care of players. Spain have the best team in the world, in every position they are unbelievably good. I am really sad about this [situation].”

Yamal had started the season in fine form, scoring two goals and registering two assists for Barça in their opening three LaLiga games. He then contributed three more assists in his two Spain appearances.

Flick, who previously coached the Germany national team, said the communication with Spain boss Luis de la Fuente could be better.

“I never really spoke with [De la Fuente],” he added. “Maybe my Spanish is not good, his English is not good, so this is a problem.

“Normally, the communication, because we have more players there than just Lamine, could be better. I was also on this side as a national team coach, so I know how hard this job sometimes is, but the communication with the clubs was always good.”

Barça will also be without Frenkie de Jong against Valencia after the midfielder picked up an injury while with the Netherlands.

Gavi and Alejandro Balde are also still missing, but Barça have been boosted by the return of youngster Marc Bernal, who will be on the bench after over a year on the sidelines with an ACL injury.

The match will be played at the 6,000 capacity Estadi Johan Cruyff next to Barça’s training ground as uncertainty continues to shroud when the team will be able to return to Spotify Camp Nou, which is currently being refurbished.

“I spoke with the players, the captains, and they say it will not affect us,” Flick said of having to play the game in a much smaller stadium.

“This is not an excuse. Also Valencia have to play in this stadium. We showed against Como [in preseason] we can win in this stadium and this is what I want to see on Sunday.

“We know the situation. The president [Joan Laporta] explained the whole situation to me. I have confidence in this [returning to Camp Nou]. These things don’t affect my team.”

It will also be the first fixture with Thiago Alcantara back on the sideline after the former Barça, Bayern Munich and Liverpool midfielder rejoined Flick’s coaching staff this week.

“I am really happy he’s back,” Flick said. “He has a lot of experience and he can pass it on to the players. I can see how the young players listen to him. It could be a really good piece of the puzzle for our success.”
