There are no official state playoffs
this COVID-shortened, spring
football season, but the final, home
contests for South Wasco County
and Dufur will serve as such.
The schedule makers (the
school’s athletic directors) got
things right when they pitted the
Redsides against Joseph and the
Rangers against Adrian/Jordan
Valley on the final weekend for
most of the six-man and eight-man
programs. Each team is unbeaten.
South Wasco improved to 4-0
last week with a 40-24 six-man
win over Mitchell/Spray/Wheeler.
The Redsides play Friday at 3 p.m.
against unbeaten Joseph (4-0),
a 46-24 winner over Echo last
week. Dufur plays its final contest
Saturday 3 at noon vs. the defend-
ing 1A champion Adrian/Jordan
Valley Antelopes (4-0). Sherman
County had its game last week
against Harper Charter canceled;
the Huskies (2-1) conclude their
four-game spring season with a
7 p.m. home game Thursday vs.
Mitchell/Spray/Wheeler in Moro.
Dufur played its second game
in five days early last week, but the
Rangers showed that short prepa-
ration time wasn’t a problem as
they won 48-36 over Powder Valley
on March 23. The rare Tuesday
contest showcased the undefeated
Rangers’ impressive ground game
which accounted for 440 yards
and proved too much for the 3-1
Badgers to handle.
“Powder Valley is a good team;
they won a couple of games in
the playoffs last year (2019) and
they had lots of kids coming back
from that team,” Dufur Coach Jack
Henderson said. “Our kids stayed
after it and they continued working
hard the entire game.”
Henderson said Kaleb Pence
(16 carries, 100 yards rushing) and
Cooper Bales (15 carries, 248 yards
rushing) ran the ball “really, really
well, thanks to the good blocking
of our offensive line and that was
really the difference in the game.”

Sarah Davies led Hood River
Valley and Lucy Booth led The
Dalles at the Alpine Skiing
2021 Oregon High School State
Championships earlier this month
at Mt. Hood Skibowl.
Davies was third overall in the
girls combined (slalom and giant
slalom) and Booth was 17th. Hood
River Valley finished seventh in
the combined (boys and girls)
team competition and The Dalles
was 10th. Portland’s Central
Catholic won the combined meet;
Portland’s Oregon Episcopal
School was the girls champion; and
Central Catholic took the boys’ top
trophy.
Davies was third overall in girls
giant slalom. Her first giant slalom
run was 42.83 seconds, and her sec-
ond 41.66 - the second-best time
overall. Individual winner Anne
Hendrickson of OES had giant
slalom runs of 42.29 and 40.98.
Booth was 19th in giant slalom,
5.52 seconds behind the winner,
with consistent runs of 44.40
and 44.39. Other Gorge finish-
ers in girls giant slalom: Hannah
Biehn, TD, 44th; Marisa Rigert,
HRV, 45th; Maya Corcoran, HRV,
62nd; Ella Smith, TD, 73rd; Ashley

Dufur took an initial 8-0 lead
with 11:17 remaining in the first
quarter when Bales scored on an
86-yard touchdown run and threw
a two-point conversion pass to
senior receiver Ben Schanno (three
receptions, 65 yards). Powder
Valley tied the back-and-forth
game later in the period, but Dufur
outscored the Badgers 14-6 in the
second to build a 22-14 halftime
lead. The Badgers regained the
momentum in the third quarter by
outscoring the Rangers 16-8 to knot
the game, 30-30.
“It was a good back-and-forth
game, both teams competed hard,
and we created some scoring op-
portunities in the fourth quarter to
help us get on top,” said Henderson.
“Defensively, we really flew around
the field and Jacob Peters had three
interceptions. We had a fumble
recovery and we really played well
defensively … that was a key to our
success. We kept playing hard and
making things happen, because
Powder Valley kept coming back
and making some plays.”
Dufur regained the momen-
tum early in the fourth. A 10-play,
65-yard drive, capped by a 53-yard
Bales TD run put the Rangers
ahead 36-30 with 11:59 left in the
game. The Rangers extended their
advantage late in the quarter when
they scored 12 points in a span of
10 seconds.
Bales scored on a two-yard run,
making it 42-30 with 2:08 left. On
the ensuing Dufur kickoff, Powder
Valley fumbled, and the Rangers
recovered. Pence scrambled free
for a 39-yard TD run, putting Dufur
up 48-30 with 1:58 on the clock.
Powder Valley scored a TD near
the end of the contest for the final
12-point margin.
“We finally got ahead in the
fourth quarter and we really
needed the 440 rushing yards to be
successful,” said Henderson. “It was
nice that our kids were able to get
a few more days off during spring
break.”
Henderson said the Rangers
will be tested this weekend. “They
(Adrian) return quite a few of the
kids that helped lead them to the
championship in 2019. We’ll have
to play really well, but it should be a
great football game. It will be good
test for our kids to end the season
and we’re looking forward to hope-
fully getting another win and have
an undefeated spring season.”
Adrian improved to 4-0 with a
68-8 win a week ago against Imbler.
The Antelopes are scheduled to
play at Powder Valley on April 9.`

TRASH TALK
Q. Can I recycle my plastic shopping
QA
bags in the blue bin? Dan, Parkdale
A. Dan, Great question. Please don’t put plastic
bags in your recycling. Bags cause major problems with
machinery at the recycling facility in Portland. Good news
though- Return plastic bags and film packaging (if clean
and dry) to your supermarket. That includes bags that cover
produce, bread, paper towels, drycleaning, and case wraps.
