SPORTS East Oregonian Page 2B Friday, August 26, 2016 MUSTANGS: Junior Kevin Smith to start at quarterback White Sox MLB Continued from 1B “At the beginning of the year, I said I’ll play where I need to play to help us be successful, and wherever Coach thinks that’ll be,” Grieb said. “I think I’ll be at a few different positions, but I’ll just go wherever Coach tells me and help the team.” As for the quarterback position, the 6-4 junior Kevin Smith is pegged in as the starter after serving as the backup last season, where he threw for 271 yards and four touchdowns spread over eight games. But the Mustangs do have a few options behind Smith as well. “I think Kevin (Smith) is our quarterback, but I think Logan (Grieb) and Jake (Lindsay) are quarter- back-capable,” Grant said. “Right now we’re giving probably 98 percent of the snaps to Kevin, but as we go on you always have to be ready for a Plan B or a Plan C.” Elsewhere, Grant says that fans will see a “different cast of characters” on the ield with guys like seniors Jake Lindsay, Kolby Currin, get walk- off win over M’s By MIKE CRANSTON Associated Press CHICAGO (AP) — Todd Frazier tied it with an RBI single in the seventh inning and won it with a line drive down the left- ield line in the ninth to lift the Chicago Seattle White Sox to a 7-6 victory over the Seattle M a r i - Chicago ners on Thursday night. Adam Eaton led off the ninth with a bloop single off Nick Vincent (3-4) and went to second on Tim Anderson’s sacriice. Jose Abreu was walked intentionally before Frazier’s liner over third scored Eaton, leading to a pileup of players behind the pitcher’s mound. David Robertson (4-2) worked around a walk and two incidents of fans running on the ield in the ninth that delayed play for several minutes in Chicago’s fourth win in ive games. Robinson Cano hit his 29th home run and the Mariners wasted a solid return off the disabled list by James Paxton in their third straight loss. Seattle fell 7 1/2 games behind AL West-leading Texas. 6 7 Staff photo by Eric Singer Heppner’s Jake Lindsay receives a pass during Mon- day’s practice in Heppner. Lindsay, a senior, is expected to be one of the top playmakers this season. and juniors Coby Daugherty and Beau Wolters serving prominent roles this season. And even as being the returning state champions, the Mustangs don’t believe they should be considered the favorites yet to win the CBC again. “I think we got some things to prove irst before we can say that I think,” Murray said, “but we’re deinitely going to play our hardest and we have our sights set on another (title) that’s for sure.” Grant echoed Murray’s statement, but did say there is a team who he expects to have a great season in the CBC. “I think Weston-McEwen will be good, but I think Stanield has the chance to be great,” Grant said. “(Stan- ield) brings back nearly everything and whatever they add might be an improve- ment on what graduated.” Stanield, led by second- year coach Davy Salas, returns four all-state players in QB/LB Dylan Grogan, RB/DB Thyler Monkus, OL/ DL Jose Garcia, and OL/DL Noe Sanchez to a team that went 10-2 last season. Salas says they are a conident group, but even they don’t think they are the favorites, just yet. “I don’t know why we should be, Heppner’s domi- nated the league for so long and Greg inds kids every year and makes them better,” Salas said. “I’m a irm believer of ‘You have to beat the best to be the best’ and we haven’t beaten Heppner yet.” Salas does think that the postseason run his Tigers put together last year will pay big dividends this season. “Last year let the kids know what we are capable of and gave us conidence,” he said. “When you get to the state level, the competition stiffens and I feel we are right there at the edge of breaking into the elite level.” LUCKY NUMBER EIGHT While the majority of teams in the OSAA will be playing out nine-game sched- ules this season, Heppner will only have eight, with a bye week on Week 9. The reason? “When Irrigon was dropped from our league, we were supposed to play them Week 9, and inding someone with a bye on the last week of the season is next to impossible,” Grant said. “It’s not the best case, we’ll have to plan ahead, but we’ll make the most of it. TIGERSCOTS STAY THE SAME The Weston-McEwen TigerScots found success last season with a ground- and-pound offense and an aggressive defense under irst-year coach T.J. Bailey. With Bailey out after one year, in steps former assistant Travis Glover, but he insists not much will change. Glover still expects his team to be a run-heavy team offensively led by senior quarterback Brett Speed and senior running back Ethan Reger, and then come at teams defensively with high aggression as they look to get back to the postseason in 2016. SCRIMMAGE: Crafton grabs 2 TDs in seven-on-seven action Continued from 1B Volleyball: Continued from 1B White. “I was impressed with our consistency in the irst game, and in the second game we showed some lashes, just not enough.” Ali Schroeder was one of the standouts on Thursday, recording 26 assists and six digs while going 27-29 from the serving line with ive aces. Bryce Thul and Alyssa Finifrock both were perfect from the serving line in the matches, with Thul going 30-30 with six aces and Finifrock 19-19. Sara Finifrock was the team’s top hitter with 11 kills. BANKS 3, CONDON/ WHEELER 0 — At Banks, the Condon/ Wheeler Knights started the season with shutout loss by the Banks Braves. The Knights (0-1) struggled to score consis- tently against the Class 4A team, as Banks won with scores of 25-7, 25-9, and 25-6. — to College of Idaho’s one touchdown and ield goal converted by Kyle Mitchell. College of Idaho head coach Mike Moroski said the experience will help his team get up to game speed. After all, his program is entering only its third year following 37 years dormant, while Linield is coming off a semiinals trip to the 2015 Division III playoffs and enters this season ranked No. 2 in most preseason polls. “This was way better than what we can mimic (in prac- tice),” Moroski said. “...This is so important for our young players and experienced players alike to get ready for game one.” Crafton saw little action during the scrimmage, but caught a couple of touch- down passes from J.J. Hyde during seven-on-seven drills in the red zone. According to Moroski, Crafton is currently slotted as the third- string tight end behind senior Ringo Robinson and junior Marcus Lenhardt, who led the team with 573 receiving yards last season. He lacks the experience of Robinson and Lenhardt, having only been on campus for two weeks, and only playing one year of high school football. Crafton is still making his way up to the speed of college football, but said his skills are compa- rable to the upperclassmen. “I’m just as athletic and talented as they are, but they just have been there longer,” Crafton said. “They know what to do in certain situations – cover 1, cover 2. I don’t know that stuff yet. I’ve played one year of football my whole life.” Crafton and Caldwell met after the scrimmage to congratulate each other and take a picture together. Linield coach Joseph Smith has Caldwell listed as a center on Linield’s roster, but took most snaps at defensive end during the scrimmage. Clark-Gammell didn’t make the trip to Hermiston in part because of an injury but also a “snafu” over his eligibility, according to Moroski. Spectators included a mix of locals and fans of both teams who traveled in from out of town. College of Idaho fan and Sunriver resident Laurie Henberg met friends Sharron and Dave Hansen in Hermiston for the scrimmage. Dave has called Linield games for over three decades, witnessing all four of their national champi- onships. Henberg said she wanted to see College of Idaho test itself against a top program such as Linield. “For us to scrimmage a team like Linield is a big deal,” Henberg said. ——— Contact Will Denner at wdenner@eastoregonian. com or 541-966-0809 SCOREBOARD Local slate PREP BOYS SOCCER Saturday Umatilla at Hermiston, 8 p.m. PREP GIRLS SOCCER Saturday Umatilla at Hermiston, 6 p.m. PREP VOLLEYBALL Today Condon/Wheeler at Vernonia, vs. Jewell, 4:30/6 p.m. Saturday Weston-McEwen, Heppner, Pilot Rock at Grant Union Tournament, 8 a.m. Pendleton at Lewiston (ID) Tournament, 8:30 a.m. Riverside at Stanield Tournament, 9 a.m. COLLEGE WOMENS SOCCER Saturday Blue Mountain vs SW Oregon at Fall Showcase (Springield), 1 p.m. Eastern Oregon at George Fox, 6 p.m. Sunday Blue Mountain vs Grays Harbor at Fall Showcase (Springield), 2 p.m. Eastern Oregon at Lewis & Clark, 2 p.m. COLLEGE VOLLEYBALL Saturday Eastern Oregon vs Concordia (Neb.), vs Vanguard (at Butte, Mont.), 8 a.m./4 p.m. Blue Mountain vs Shoreline, vs Chemeke- ta, vs Tacoma, vs Linn-Benton at Fall Show- case (Springield), 12:45/2/4:30/5:45 p.m. Sunday Blue Mountain vs North Idaho, vs Highline at Fall Showcase (Springield), 9 a.m./1 p.m. Baseball Baltimore 70 57 .551 New York 65 61 .516 Tampa Bay 54 72 .429 Central Division W L Pct Cleveland 72 54 .571 Detroit 68 59 .535 Kansas City 66 61 .520 Chicago 61 65 .484 Minnesota 49 78 .386 West Division W L Pct Texas 75 53 .586 Seattle 67 60 .528 Houston 66 61 .520 Oakland 55 72 .433 Los Angeles 54 73 .425 ——— Thursday’s Games Detroit 8, Minnesota 5 Tampa Bay 2, Boston 1 Washington 4, Baltimore 0 L.A.
