sophomore, I thought I had
a pretty good year. It just
felt awesome to have that
experience.”
Ledbetter, in his fi rst
season in Union after trans-
ferring, led the Bobcats as
the team’s main post and
scoring option.
Coming off a state tour-
nament appearance last
season, the Bobcats entered
this season looking to fi ll
the void left by seven grad-
uating seniors. Ledbetter
made an immediate impact,
averaging 17.4 points and
10.2 rebounds per game.
The team’s interior player
averaged 3.5 blocks per
game and also dished out
3.4 assists per contest.
“That’s a big-time stat
line, especially for a soph-
omore,” Union head coach
Odin Miller said. “It exem-
plifi es all the hard work he
put into it. He was really
coachable and he came ded-
icated every day, ready to
soak up what we were going
to give him.”
Ledbetter was one of
three players from the
Blue Mountain Conference
earning all-state honors and
the only player to make the
fi rst three teams. Heppner’s
Kason Cimmiotti and Joe
Sherman earned honorable
mentions.
Ledbetter remarked that
work in the off season, moti-
vation from his coaches and
game experience helped
him have a breakout season
on the court.
“I think it comes down to
how much my coach pushes
me,” Ledbetter said. “He
pushes me to the limit all
the time and he knows my
skill level, so he knows my
potential at all times. I feel
like these next few years
will be even better, gaining
experience in the game.”
Union is set to bring
back its entire starting
lineup next year, with Led-
better returning as the core
post player. The Bobcats
will move from 2A to 1A,
joining the Old Oregon
League. Union’s coach and
players are hopeful for a
strong season, using this
year’s progress and out-
come as a motivating force.
“What was encouraging
was that Tee established
himself as a leader on the
team,” Miller said. “If he’s
the leader on the team and
we have all these other guys
with exceptional skill sets
around him and we’re all
young and hungry, that is
going to provide for a dan-
gerous combination. Going
down to the Old Oregon
League, I think we’re going
