Spieth completes
rare awards sweep
PONTE VEDRA
BEACH, Fla. (AP) —
Jordan Spieth was voted
PGA Tour player of the year
Friday, giving him a sweep
of all the signi¿ cant awards.
The PGA Tour does not
disclose how many votes
Spieth received
FACES from the
players, though
the 22-year-old
Texan removed
any suspense
last week with
his four-shot
victory in
Spieth
the Tour
Championship to win the
Fed Ex Cup.
Spieth had ¿ ve wins this
year, including the Masters and
U.S. Open. He is the youngest
player since Tiger Woods
(21) to win the Jack Nicklaus
Award as player of the year.
Spieth also won the Arnold
Palmer Award by topping the
money list with a record $12
million, and the Vardon Trophy
for having the lowest adjusted
scoring average.
Since the FedEx Cup
began in 2007, Woods is the
only other player to sweep
the awards, win a major and
capture the FedEx Cup and
its $10 million bonus.

Ravens run over Buckaroos
Ridgeview ground
attack too much for
Pendleton defense

The Pendleton Buckaroos knew
they would have their hands full.
The Ridgeview Ravens came
in with a potent run game that the
Bucks would have to stop to win
the game. Unfortunately for the

Appeals court
calls for review of
Solo assault case
SEATTLE (AP) — U.S.
national team goalkeeper
Hope Solo could again face
assault charges stemming
from an altercation last year
with family members after
a Washington
FACES state appeals
court on Friday
reversed a
lower court’s
dismissal of the
case.
The case
stems from
Solo
a dispute
between Solo and her
half-sister and 17-year-old
nephew during a party in
June 2014. Solo was charged
with two misdemeanor
counts of fourth-degree
domestic violence assault.
She pleaded not guilty.
A municipal judge
dismissed the case in
January, but prosecutors —
in a rare move — appealed
that decision. The appeals
court sent it back to the
lower court on Friday.
“We are shocked
and concerned
about these
charges. We will
be doing all we
can to support our
students.“

HERMISTON
Vikings prove too much for Bulldogs
Hermiston loses starting
quarterback Neal to injury
By SAM BARBEE
East Oregonian
Before Hermiston’s non-league football game
against Coeur d’Alene Friday
night, it would’ve been a reason-
able assumption that ¿ ve Viking
turnovers might have them driving
back to the Idaho panhandle Coeur d’Alene
unhappy.
But the Coeur d’Alene defense
that had allowed 17 points in its last
three games held ¿ rm, and came
out with a 43-10 win at Kennison
Hermiston
Stadium.
“I de¿ nitely think we came
together a little bit,” senior defen-
sive end Trey Neal said. “I think
we looked a lot better on defense and offense despite

STANFIELD
—
The
Stan¿ eld Tigers and Weston-
McEwen TigerScots stood
toe-to-toe in a Columbia Basin
Conference slug-fest on Friday.
With both defenses delivering
smash-mouth blows, the Tigers
were able to deliver the knockout
punch for a 19-14 win in each
team’s league opener.
The Tigers (4-0, 1-0) made
a defensive stand on the Tiger-
Scots’ ¿ nal drive and then were
able to run out the ¿ nal 130
on a night that was lacking the
gargantuan rushing totals each
team had been putting up this
season.
Weston-McEwen (3-2, 0-1)
limited Stan¿ eld running back
Thyler Monkus to 78 yards on 17
carries, but quarterback Dylan
Grogan was still able to run for
113 yards and two touchdowns

the way for another rout as the

Rockets in each team’s Columbia

“Pilot Rock was bringing a lot
of blitzes and so we kept it pretty
simple and took what they gave
us,” said Heppner coach Greg
Grant. “I though the offensive
line really got off the ball well.”
