April 22. Eastern swept the
fi rst three conference games
and lost the fourth matchup
9-6. The victories propelled
the Mountaineers to a tie
for fi rst overall in the Cas-
cade Collegiate Conference
standings, but the team ulti-
mately fi nished third amid a
tight fi nish at the top of the
rankings.
Heading into the team’s
fi rst-round matchup,
Eastern boasts a 3-1 record
against Corban on the year.
The Mountaineers out-
scored the Warriors 18-13
across a four-game series.
Eastern is set to square
off against Corban at
11:30 a.m. on May 6, with
the winner advancing to
play Southern Oregon
later on the same day. The
loser of the fi rst-round
matchup will have a chance
at redemption in the dou-
ble-elimination tournament.

FOOTBALL
Continued from Page A9
for the evening Blue and
Gold football game. On the
community engagement
side of things, the Eastern
wrestling team will host a
cornhole tournament from
9 a.m. to 6 p.m. The tail-
gate zone and beer garden
will be up and running
from noon through 7 p.m.
Eastern will host a silent
auction benefi tting the ath-
letic department from noon
to 5 p.m. And a family fun
fest is set to take place from
noon to 6 p.m.
The Blue and Gold game
at 6 p.m. is the main event
of the weekend.
“We want it to be a com-
petitive game,” Camp said
of the scrimmage. “It’s
controlled, obviously, but
there’s a certain amount of
things I want to see in the
game.”
For Camp and the foot-
ball team, the spring game
serves as an integral expe-
rience for newcomers
and experienced players
alike. Camp stated that
the team will go through
a standard game day rou-
tine, from morning walk-
throughs to pregame rit-
uals — the scrimmage
will be primarily off ense
versus defense to sim-
ulate in-game action.
The second half of the
game will be more situ-
ational, running through
special teams plays and
other scenarios. Camp
said the experience will
go a long way particularly
for freshmen and players
looking to step up into
bigger roles this fall.
“Some of these kids hav-
en’t done that, so that’s
what I try to use the spring
game for,” he said. “It’s
good prep for Aug. 27 when
Montana Tech is here.”
Camp noted that the
team currently has more
than 90 athletes on the
roster, with 27 students
taking part in the upcoming
recruiting class.
“Spring is a chance to
see a bunch of diff erent
guys playing together and
seeing who works together
well,” the coach said. “As a
team, we’re really working
together right now. We’re
just making sure we get the
correct looks and playing
good football.”
As for position battles,
Camp said that every posi-
tion is open.
“That’s spring football,
there’s nobody really set
in stone,” he said. “We do
have some performers who
I think can shake up the
Frontier Conference, but
at the same time, they’re
going to go out there and
fi ght for the job every day.”
Camp emphasized
the role that community
engagement plays in the
event, as the team’s spring
game has grown over his
15 years as head coach.
The team has also recently
been a part of Arbor Day
tree planting, STEM kits
for local schools and other
community events.
“Getting out in the com-
munity is probably the most
important thing these kids
do,” Camp said, “to be able
to give back to Eastern
Oregon University and the
community.”
