Plenty yet to be determined in state playoff picture
East Oregonian
With just two weeks left
in the football regular season,
most of the playoff spots
have yet to be decided.
Several teams will have a
chance to secure a guaranteed

state playoffs in classi¿ca-
tions 5-1A, as well as which
teams would be in if the
playoffs started today, which

already (based on record),
and which teams are out of
the running:

T-WOLVES:
Continued from 1B
but the fact of the matter is
they had ¿ght and we didn’t.´
Baty was particularly upset
with the loss in the second set
that went to extra points.
The Timberwolves (33-8)
had the lead and a chance
to put the Cardinals (14-13)
away but couldn’t get it done.
“We did silly things on
our side of the next that just
gave points away,´ Baty said.
“NIC is a good team and
when you give them a chance
they’re going to maximize
that and that’s what we did.´
With four league matches
left against teams with a
combined 10 NWAC East
wins, Baty said the T-Wolves
also missed a great chance to
get in a competitive match
before the NWAC Champi-
onships in mid-November.
“We saw this as our last
big tune-up and we just
slept walked right through
it,´ Baty said. “It’s just
frustrating to drive so far, and
to do so much to get this set
up, and then to come out here
and not put up much ¿ght.´
The best highlight from
the match was the play of
libero Hannah Bailey, who
was only credited with 14
digs but routinely awed those
in attendance.
“She got a lot of work
because our blocking was
pretty porous,´ Baty said.
“She made some pretty big
digs that wowed the crowd.´
Miah Perez led BMCC
with eight kills and Klaree
Hobart added six. Kristin
Williams hit for a team-high
.429 percentage but ¿nished
with just three kills.
