12- SANDY (O r».) POST Thurs., Sept 31. 1978 (Sec. 1)
Sandy freshmen gridders
beat Astoria in opener
Volleyballers take 2nd in tourney
The Sandy High g ir ls ’
volleyball team took on some
of the top teams in the state
last week and proved that it
can compete with the best of
them
The Pioneers traveled to
Dallas Thursday and blasted
the Dragons out of the gy m
15-4. 15-12 Sandy then placed
2nd in a tournament it hosted
at the Pioneer gym
"M o st everyone picked
Dallas as the team to beat in
the other division,” coach
Kon Grantz said. “ They’ve
got just about everyone back
from last year, including
Kathy Hill who was a ll
league for two years.
“ But Dallas wasn t quite
as strong as I thought," he
added " I t was trying a more
complicated offense — much
like ours when we started
this fall — and their girls
were a bit confused.
“ They're at the same point
we were last winter when we
first looked at the offense,"
Grantz said They were out
of place on the court
Saturday's tournament
brought together a strong
field including M arshall,
generally regarded as the top
team in the state, Gresham,
also ranked in the top five,
and Ashland, which knocked
the Pioneers out of last
winning 15-13, 15-10 Mar
shall defeated Gresham 15-5,
15-13 to set up the final
between the top-rated team
in the state and the Pioneers
Marshall won the finale,
but ju st barely, as the
Portland school had to go
three games to edge Sandy
15-7, 14-16, 15-16
The double format enabled
coaches to try d iffe re n t
combinations of players in
the round robin and use the
most effective lineups in the
elimination events And the
amount of volleyball played
(15 games for Sandy) gave
coaches a good indication of
how their teams are doing
year’s state tournament.
Bend
and
Hillsboro,
favored
to
win
their
respective leagues, rounded
out the field
The two part tournament
began with a round robin
competition and concluded
with the top four teams
having a showdown for the
championship
Sandy emerged from the
10-game round robin as the
top seed with a 9-1 record
M arshall and Gresham
finished w ith 7-3 marks,
Hillsboro was 3-7 and Bend
and Ashland were 2-8
As the top seed, Sandy then
played 4th seeded Hillsboro.
“ We seemed to alleviate a
lot of our e arly season
problems — we knew where
we were on the court,"
Grantz said. “ Dur team has
tremendous speed and some
of the girls were diving at
balls that not many other
people would try for.
“ Our hitters really came
alive," he added “ Michelle
Cleland was really smashing
the ball, and so was Jeanne
Duff and Esme Jensen
“ We re working hard at
getting forearm passes to our
setters," Grantz said “ It's a
difficult skill, but if we keep
improving, we're going to
have an exceptional team "
The Sandy High freshmen
football team got off on the
right track last Thursday,
derailing the Astoria frosh
14-6 in both squads' season
opener
Brian Noe scored the first
Pioneer touchdown, a 5-yard
fullback plunge in the first
half. Halfback Ray Vincent
picked up the two-point
conversion to give Sandy an
8-6 lead.
The final Pioneer score
came in the second half as
quarterback Dan M artin
scampered around right end
on a keeper for a 5-yard
touchdown run The con
version attempt failed.
But it was the defense
which ultimately decided the
contest. Sandy lim ited
Astoria to five first downs in
the game; only one in the
second half
“ Naturally, I was pleased
that we won,” coach Randy
Hutchinson said, “ but the
game definitely showed our t
weak points.
“ It was sort of a struggle
for both teams," he added
"There were a lot of mental
errors."
Hutchinson felt that his
team didn't know the offense
well enough, missing several
assignments and jumping on
the wrong snap count.
The Pioneers picked up
eight encroachment and
motion penalties in the
game. The coach said that
the team’s blocking also
needs some work.
“ There was no second
e ffo rt in the b lo c k in g ,"
Hutchinson said “ They don’t
realize that they have to
block u n til the w histle
blows."

Fish & Wildlife
Prospects in Beulah Unit
are substantially down from
those of last year. A low buck
ratio following last year’s
season and poor fawn
production and survival w ill
mean substa ntia lly fewer
available bucks
Deer are widely dispersed
through the Owyhee Unit
and.
although
buck
populations are fair, finding
them w ill be a challenge
Poor to fair is the rating for
Malheur River Unit where
deer are also very widely
scattered due to te rr ific
water and food supplies
The outlook is somewhat
better in the other two 4-point
areas, Steens and Beatys
Butte units, where there is a
fair number of 4-point bucks
But there are also a lot of
large-antlered 3-point bucks
in these units, so hunters
should look carefully.
Silvies and the western
half of Malheur River units
should provide good hunting
w ith quite a few bucks
present. Juniper Unit has a
low population of deer and
re la tiv e ly
few
bucks
available for hunting this
year
Although there was a good
ca rryove r of bucks in
Warner and eastern Inter
state
units,
yearling
production is down. Overall,
hunters can probably expect
a season comparable or
slightly improved in Warner
Unit and a bit slimmer than
last year in the eastern part
of the Interstate Unit.
Fort Rock and Silver I^ake
units w ill have fewer bucks
available than last year but a
good ca rryove r should
provide a few more mature
bucks
Elk
Bull elk hunting prospec ts
are little changed from last
year in Beulah Unit. There
are a few mature bulls
available but it w ill take time
and patience to find them
Prospects for bull elk in the
Silvies, Malheur River, and
western half of the Beulah
Unit are fair to good Mature
bulls w ill make up a good
percentage of the harvest.
Again elk are relatively few
compared with herds in the
northeastern part of the state
and they are widely scat
tered and hard to come by
Whitehorse Unit is again

for buck deer with at least
four points on a side This

f
year Farming operations
and crop harvesting at time
of the season opening w ill
have a strong effect on
available pheasant cover and
hunting conditions. Best
prospects should be in the
general area south from
Cairo to Big Bend.
Valley quail populations in
Malheur County are the
same or a bit better than last
year.
Chukar production is much
improved over last year
when populations were
severely reduced from ef
fects of the drought. Num
bers are still below normal,
however, and this combined
with a wide distribution of
birds this year will probably
mean difficult hunting.
Harney County quail
populations look good this
year and should provide good
hunting along brushy creek
bottoms and on agricultural
lands. Chukar populations on
the Steens, Beatys Butte, and
Malheur River units will
provide good hunting Better
areas include the South Fork
to the
Malheur from
Riverside to Crane and from
Denio north to Crowley.
Broods are large but many
are still smaller than normal
due to a late hatch.
Quail populations in Lake
County are down compared
with last year but there are
still good numbers of them
available and relatively few
quail hunters Pen-raised
pheasants and wild quail w ill
provide some upland hunting
in the Summer Lake area.
Waterfowl
Local
production
of
waterfowl in Malheur County
was fa irly good and should
provide some early season
shooting prior to later arrival
of northern birds.
Good hunting is expected
for local birds on the
Malheur Refuge and along
the South Fork of the
Malheur River during the
early season
Water supplies in Warner
Valley are much improved
this year and there should be
fair early season shooting for
locally produced ducks and
early migrants.
S ilv e r Lake lake bed
remains nearly dry but other
small lakes and ponds could
provide some limited hunting
in north Lake County.
Summer Lake should be fair
to good for ducks Production
of snow geese on Wrangell
Island has been very poor
again fo r several years
running.
R eflecting
a
reduced population of these
birds, the federal waterfowl
framework called for a bag
lim it reduction from three to
one bird from the opening of
waterfowl season through
November 9 in Lake and
Klamath coutmes After that
the bag lim it returns to three
for the remainder of the
season but few, if any, snow
geese wil remain by then.
