But what Neal’s absence

“(Peterson) can get out
and run,” Flores said. “That’s
not something we were able
to do with Tre.”
The Bucks and Bulldogs’
counterparts in the CRC are
The Dalles and Hood River
— both of whom had rough
non-league slates.
The Dalles enters league
play with a 3-11 record but
has allowed a staggering

Hood River is in a similar
VLWXDWLRQ ¿QLVKLQJ LQ
its non-league slate — with
its lone win coming on Dec.
5 at home against Columbia,
a small Washington school
based in White Salmon. Since
then, Hood River has dropped
10 straight with six of them
coming by double digits.
As one of the three four-
team leagues in the OSAA,
each squad will play each
other three times over the
next few weeks, something
that can be a good experience
and a tiring one.
“It’s a lot different because
you get to learn that much
more about a team playing
them a third time,” he said.
“So sometimes it helps you
knowing your opponent more,
but sometimes it would be nice
to play someone else, too.”

CRC GIRLS: Pendleton starting to gel as team looks for return to state playoffs
Continued from 1B
13 spots higher than the next
team from the CRC (No. 19
The Dalles).
But despite the gap
seemingly being a gulf, head
coach Steve Hoffert doesn’t
sense any complacency from
his rather young group.
“We’ve got out of it what
we wanted to get out of it,
basically,” he said.
Hoffert called that early-
season schedule the toughest
he’s seen in his 26 years of
coaching. He also said he thinks
Hermiston could’ve been 14-1
heading into CRC play.
“I couldn’t have asked
for a better result,” he said.
“I’m very pleased with what
we did. We’re very anxious
and excited to get into league
and trying to make a run at
another title.”
The one thing about the
2015-16 edition of the Bull-
dogs that has Hoffert excited
is the amount of depth he
has at his disposal. Outside
of the everyday starting
lineup of Jansen Edmiston,
Sara Ramirez, Maddy Juul,
Rileigh Andreason and
Kynzee Padilla are role
players Kiana Heehn, Shae-
lynn Gilbert and Hayden
Meyers, each of which has
found a niche.

in the world to put any of (the
top eight) girls out there in any
conference game or any game
in the state tournament.”
That depth and versatility
² DQ\ RI WKH VWDUWLQJ ¿YH
FDQSOD\IRXURU¿YHVSRWVRQ
WKHÀRRU²RQO\JLYHVPRUH
reason to think Hermiston
can dominate the CRC like
it has over the course of the
league’s existence.
“It’s been better in prior
years,” Edmiston said of the
league, “but I don’t see any
problem with us winning the
CRC this year.”
For CRC rival Pendleton,
the
Buckaroos
limped
through most of their
non-league schedule, strug-
gling to overcome the loss of
four all-league players from
the previous season.
Pendleton started off the
year with six straight losses
by an average margin of
14.5 points, but have begun
trending in the upward direc-
WLRQ DV RI ODWH ZLQQLQJ ¿YH
of its last eight games and
feeling good heading into
conference play.
“We’re kind of excited,”
said Pendleton senior Shelby
Greb. “I think we’re starting
to come together as one. We
kind of struggled with that
in the beginning but that’s
like with any team, so I think
we’re all excited to start the
(CRC) season off.”
Pendleton has found
success with the emergence
of more scoring options,
becoming more and more
of a total team effort as the
season rolls along.
“We used to kind of
work on individual stuff and
FRXOGQ¶W ¿JXUH RXW KRZ WR
play as one,” Greb said, “and
I think that’s become a really
key unit for us as a team.”

selves as key components
to Pendleton’s offense, but
players such as sophomores
Lauren Richards, Rylee
Gentner and Shelby Greb
have all seen their roles
increase and scoring increase
as the season has gone along.
But even with the
increased success, the Buck-
aroos still have a steep hill
to climb in CRC play with
Hermiston and The Dalles
— who play each other on
Friday — holding some
separation at the top.
The Dalles Riverhawks
come into conference play
with an 8-6 overall record as
winners of three of their last

of Pendleton in the CRC last
season, and look poised to
make the postseason this year.
But with all that being
said, it’s not stopping Greb
and the Buckaroos from
staying focused with the
‘new’ season approaching.
“Just like any team, we
always want to win,” she
said. “Of course we’re
DOZD\VORRNLQJDW¿UVWSODFH
… so we’ll see.”
The fourth CRC team is
the Hood River Eagles who
come into play with a 3-10
record and losers of eight of
their last 10 games. Hood
River ended up winless in
CRC play last season, and
will be motivated to end that
streak on Friday night in
Pendleton.
