Staff photo by E.J. Harris TurnoYers plague Honkers as Dufur derails perfect season By MATT ENTRUP East Oregonian )iYe turnoYers derailed another sterling performance by the Arlington defense as the Honkers fell for the ¿ rst time this season on Thursday night in a Special District 4 football game. Coming off a pair of close losses itself, Dufur put the game away late in the fourth quarter thanks to the strong running of sophomore Hagan Pence and escaped with a 146 Yictory. The Rangers had seYeral chances to run away with the game after taking an 8 lead into the locker rooms at halftime, but it seemed each time the Honkers put their defense in a tough spot it responded. Arlington (41, 1 SD4) fumbled the kickoff to start the second half and Dufur’s Tabor McLaughlin gaYe his team great ¿ eld position by pouncing on the ball at the Honker 4. The Rangers (42, 12) would adYance to the red zone before getting pushed back to the 1yard line where they turned the ball oYer on downs. Dufur Arlington, which had allowed just 28 points in its ¿ rst four games combined, forced the Rangers to turn it oYer on downs ¿ Ye times and answered each of its three secondhalf turnoYers by not allowing a point. “The players haYe a lot of heart, they don’t giYe up they just keep going and I think that’s what showed out there tonight,” said Arlington coach KeYin Hunking, 14 but added he was not completely pleased with their play throughout the game. “They weren’t totally playing up to their full potential but as we get rolling here and deYelop we’ll play better as the season goes along.” Arlington junior Benjamin EYans said the team is haYing fun Arlington on that side of the ball for the ¿ rst time in what feels like foreYer. “It’s a blast. I don’t think we’Ye eYer had that great of a program and our coaches haYe helped us a lot, taught us eYerything we know,” he said. “We run through defense for most of the practice eYeryday. And this group of players, we’re all so close, most of us are juniors and we all think on the same leYel, and I think it happens out there (on the 6 ¿ eld) too.” But while the sturdy defense was keeping the Rangers frustrated, the Honkers weren’t able to get much going on offense as running lanes closed quickly and passes failed to reach their target. Arlington’s ¿ rst driYe of the second half was its longest of the game at 12 plays. But perhaps just ¿ nding a little room to run on that driYe set up what happened the next time Arlington had the ball. The defense forced Dufur into a fourplay driYe that ended on a punt and the Honkers came back with a ¿ Yeplay driYe that ended with their ¿ rst and only touchdown.

RENTON, Wash. — SteYen Hauschka remembers YiYidly the last time he saw this much turnoYer and struggles among kickers early in the season. The reason the memory sticks out so much for the Seattle Seahawks kicker is because he was in the middle of those changes back in 29, before Hauschka established himself. “The 29 season there were a bunch of jobs up for grabs then. A lot of guys were struggling. I was one of the guys struggling,” Hauschka recalled. “Sometimes those times when people struggle, those guys come back from that and improYe and it’s a big de¿ ning moment in their career.” While there’s been signi¿ cant turnoYer in the kicking ranks early in the 215 season, Seattle is relishing the stability and consis tency of Hauschka. Hauschka is 1 of 1 on ¿ eld goals, including hitting a pair of 5yarders in last Monday’s 11 win oYer Detroit. Hauschka became the ¿ rst Seattle kicker to make two See HAUSCHKA/2B Bucks fall short at Davis East Oregonian On Thursday, the Pendleton Buckaroos came up just short of stealing a win at AC DaYis, falling 2619 in <akima.
