Page 2B SPORTS East Oregonian Tuesday, August 16, 2016 FIRST PRACTICE: Season kicks off for area teams Sept. 2 Continued from 1B Both Hermiston coach David Faaeteete and Pendleton coach Erik Davis reported strong turnout in their summer camps and weight lifting programs, and like the players were just happy to have the fall activities oficially underway. “We had about 75-80 kids out all summer long, working out, doing stuff and getting after it from freshmen on through seniors,” said Faaeteete, who enters his second season as the Bulldogs’ head coach. “It’s always exciting when we start. We wonder if all this hard work we put in is going to pay off.” Pendleton’s turnout was a bit lower, but the players that are there are dedicated, Davis said. “We took 55 kids down to the Western Oregon (University) camp and we have a great foundation coming into the fall,” he said. “That just kind of spring-boarded into our summer workouts, and we had a consistent group that were lifting and running all summer long. “The irst day is always trying to get the paperwork and trying to get all the kids here and back from vacation and seeing who you have to work with, so I’m just excited to get everybody out here and going. Put the helmet on and get things started.” Pads come on Wednesday for both teams, and both teams open the season on Friday, Sept. 2. Hermiston hosts Union (WA) while Pendleton goes on the road to play Staff photo by E.J. Harris Pendleton football head coach Erik Davis observes drills Monday during the irst day of practice in Pendleton. La Grande. Both kickoffs are set for 7 p.m. Here are a few things to watch from each team this season: PONDERING PASSERS: Hermiston will hold a quarterback competition between incumbent junior Dayshawn Neal and soph- omores Andrew James and Wyatt Noland, “and maybe a freshman in there, we’ll see,” said Faaeteete. Neal won the starting job to open last year, but played just ive games before an ankle injury ended his season with a 73.6 QB rating and 36-of-74 passing for 410 yards, three touchdowns and one interception. He also carried the ball 85 times for 421 yards and four touchdowns. Pendleton will replace gradu- ated two-year starter Kai Quinn with junior Nick Bower, who was named top junior quarterback at the Western Oregon camp. “Ever since I’ve been a kid it’s always been a goal to potentially be that guy, so now that it’s here it’s kind of like a dream come true,” Bower said. “I’m conident coming in, so we’ll see.” Davis believes he’s ready. “He was our JV quarterback last year. We couldn’t protect him and so he was kind of running for his life,” Davis said. “So in order for him to really get the experience he needs to be a great varsity quarter- back he was going to have to do a lot in the offseason too. And he did everything.” TIME TO FINISH: Hermiston felt like it didn’t give itself a chance in the second half of several games last season, and is making that its biggest point of emphasis early. “Just working on inishing is the biggest thing. I think it’s just the mindset,” said senior linebacker John Henry Line. “We just had a lot more people show up and worked harder (this summer). I think every- body is taking this more serious.” “Everybody’s looking forward and being positive about their approach,” Faaeteete said. “Half the battle is attitude and showing up. “It’s a new conference and we’ve got a lot to prove.” CIRCLE THE DATE: Herm- iston has ive home dates on the schedule this season but one stands out right away — the Sept. 23 game that features the last two state champions when Summit and their 5A Player of the Year quarterback, senior John Bledsoe, come to Kennison Field on Oct. 28. “Our hope is that they’re healthy and undefeated and we’ll go from there,” Faaeteete said. “That will be a fun night under the lights.” Hermiston also hosts league foes Mountain View (Sept. 16), Ridgeview (Oct. 7) and rival Pendleton (Oct. 28) in their regu- lar-season inale. Hermiston has won the last four straight against the Bucks. “Those things are exciting,” Salinas said. “We’re going to get to test ourselves against some better opponents in Oregon, and hopefully make it to the playoffs in this tough conference and just show every- body what we’re made of.” LONG ROAD HOME: Pendleton won’t play its home opener until Sept. 30 when it hosts Redmond for its third league game. The Bucks only have three home games this season, with their other two on back-to-back weeks against Hood River (Oct. 14) and Bend (Oct. 21). “It is what it is,” said Bower. “We’ll just go play and I don’t think it’ll affect us.” “I always look forward to the road trips and the preparation and everything,” Jerome said. “Seven o’clock, it’s fun.” HEAD COUNT: Although the Bucks had 55 show up for came at Western Oregon, that number was a bit lower for Monday’s irst practice. “There’s no doubt, numbers are down. We’ve had a couple small classes, but that ebbs and lows,” Davis said. “Our senior class is pretty small, but they’re fairly talented. But again that doesn’t help with numbers. “We’re going to continue to press the halls and make sure the kids that need to be out here are out here, but right now we’re playing with the kids that are up here ready to go.” FARM-CITY: Utah cowboy Rhen Richard wins all-around championship Continued from 1B The Hermiston cowboy was a bit disappointed with the overall performance, but was happy he could have one more run at the arena. “It’s just so much fun here,” he said, “I’m so fortunate that my hometown rodeo is so nice and so fun, because a lot of people don’t have that luxury. It’s an awesome event from the committee and the fans that come out.” The Hermiston native that had the best evening came in barrel racing as Callahan Crossley sped her way to a time of 17.21 seconds which earned her the top time of the night and a third place inish overall. The placing brought her a nice $2,920 check and a $100 dash-for-cash bonus. “It was deinitely one of the best rides I’ve ever had,” Crossley said following her run, “So I guess I just gave the best for last here.” Also competing on the night in front of their home- town fans were Stanield’s Travis Taruscio in steer wrestling (16.8 seconds on two), Hermiston’s Dalton Massey in steer wrestling (5.6 seconds on one), Hermiston’s Andy Carlson in team roping (5.5 seconds on one), and Hermiston bull rider Cody Ford. Ford, a 2006 graduate of Echo High School, fell just short of a qualiied ride getting bucked off his bull at 6.4 seconds in his irst professional trip back to the Farm-City rodeo. After inding out it would be the last rodeo in the fairgrounds arena, he knew he had to come back. “I’ve watched so much rodeo here since I was a kid, and it woulda been cool to come here and win it,” he said, “but there’s always next year, I guess.” Saturday also brought the most successful night for bull riders of the week, as four riders garnered qualiied rides after only ive did in the three nights prior. Liberty, Texas’ Cole Melancon mastered Corey & Lange’s Comatose for the eight seconds he needed and the judges liked what they Staff photo by E.J. Harris Cole Melancon of Liberty, Texas, rides Comatose for 83.5 points in bull riding Saturday at the Farm-City Pro Rodeo in Hermiston. saw as they awarded him an 83.5 point ride, vaulting him into the victory and a $4,935 payday. “It feels good, it’s been a rough few weeks for me, but I think it’s turning around,” Melancon said, who sat in 25th in the PRCA world standings coming into the weekend. In bareback, Jessy Davis of Power, Montana kept his hot streak going with an 86.5 point ride on Korkow’s Onion Ring for the top score of the night and a second place overall inish with a $4,394 payout. Davis only started competing in May after missing the previous six months rehabbing from a shoulder injury, and has since worked his way up to 15th in the world standings. He said following his ride that he was happy to be healthy enough to make the trip to Hermiston, which is a staple on his schedule each year. “I love it here.

SCOREBOARD SEAHAWKS: Continued from 1B “I don’t remember a irst-year guy having a irst game that was that obvious like that,” Carroll said of Powell. The more important develop- ments were the play of the offensive line and Boykin’s performance. The projected starting line has been the most watched position group during training camp because of its perceived weakness. Justin Britt seemed to adjust well to his move to center, tackles Bradley Sowell and Garry Gilliam played well and rookie Germain Ifedi made a few mistakes but overall held up in his irst professional game. “I thought we were tight in our pass protection and really hit some runs against a really nice front,” Carroll said. Boykin was 12 of 22 passing before the inal drive when he hit all four passes, including the touchdown to McEvoy. Carroll said Boykin had some issues in the huddle that led to miscommu- nication but the coach was pleased overall as Boykin tries to show he can serve as Russell Wilson’s backup. “He showed the big plays and showed the conidence and the poise to get through it and the clock is ticking down on that last play and the clock is running out and had great poise to inish it off like he did,” Carroll said. Michael exhibited the continuing maturation he irst displayed when he was re-signed by the Seahawks late last season. Michael has received the bulk of the work in training camp as Thomas Rawls recovers from the ankle injury he suffered in December. “I’m just here to contribute. Whether that’s a 1-2 punch or backing Thomas up or starting, I have to be consistent, I have to do my job, I have to be trustworthy and know what I’m doing,” Michael said. always win a lot of money and the best contractors come here and the bucking horses are really good,” Davis said. “You gotta take advantage of a great rodeo like this.” In saddle bronc, Cody DeMoss of Helin, Loui- siana, took advantage of his re-ride chance with the top score of the night with an 80.5 on Korkow’s Free Sample. His score put him into a tie for fourth place overall behind co-cham- pions Sterling Crawley and Tyrell Smith’s 83 points. Elsewhere, Terrebone’s Shane Erickson had the best night with a 9.3 second time in calf roping and Wenatchee, Washington’s Colinn Wolfe sped through steer wrestling with a time of 5.8 seconds. Roosevelt, Utah’s Rhen Richard took home the coveted trophy saddle and a $5,333 paycheck as the top all-around cowboy. ——— Olympics TV SCHEDULE TODAY NBC — Track & Field (LIVE): Men’s Triple Jump - Gold Medal Final, Women’s Discus - Gold Medal Final; Men’s Water Polo - Quarterinal (LIVE); Eques- trian - Team Jumping Qualifying; Women’s Volleyball - Quarterinal (LIVE); Men’s Diving - Springboard Semiinal; Beach Volleyball - Semiinal (LIVE), 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Track & Field - Gold Medal Finals (LIVE): Men’s High Jump, Women’s 1500m, Men’s 110m Hurdles; Gymnastics - Individual Event Gold Medal Finals: Men’s Parallel Bars, Women’s Floor, Men’s High Bar; Beach Volleyball - Semiinal (LIVE), 8 p.m.-Midnight.
