the statement. “As the head football
coach, I hold myself responsible for
all of our football-related activities
and the safety of our students must
come first. I have addressed the issue
with our strength and conditioning
staff, and I fully support the actions
taken today by the university.
“I want to thank our medical staff
and doctors for caring for all of our
young men, and I want to apologize
to the university, ourstudents, alumni
and fans.”
A hospital spokeswoman confirmed
that one of the players, Doug Brenner,
was released from PeaceHealth Sacred
Heart Medical Center at Riverbend on
Tuesday and the other two were in
good condition as of the evening.
“The university holds the health,
safety and well-being of all of our
students in high regard,” director
of athletics Rob Mullens said in the
statement. “We are confident that these
athletes will soon return to full health,
and we will continue to support them
and their families in their recoveries.”
The Oregonian was the first to
report late Monday that the players
were hospitalized after being taken
there late last week. The newspaper
reported that the mother of one of
the players said her son has been
diagnosed with rhabdomyolysis, a
condition that occurs when muscle
tissue breaks down and leaks into the
blood stream. The condition can cause
kidney damage.

Venus through to third round at Aussie Open
By JOHN PYE
Associated Press
MELBOURNE,
Australia
— It was inevitable after such
an energetic performance in her
second-round win over Stefanie
Voegele at the Australian Open
that Venus Williams would get
asked about transcending the
generations in tennis.
The 36-year-old, seven-time
major winner played the first of
her record 73 Grand Slam tour-
naments at the French Open in
1997. Back then, she got to play
against the likes of Steffi Graf
and Martina Navratilova.
In a 6-3, 6-2 win over
the 26-year-old Voegele on
Wednesday, Williams mixed up
her game, clearly not content
on relying purely on the kind
of power game that helped her
make a mark on the sport.
“I have to talk about this every
interview,” Williams said in reply
to what has become a regular
post-match question to the oldest
player in the women’s draw here.
“I’ve played some of the greats.
“It’s an honor and privilege
to start that young,” she added,
laughing, “and play this old.”

United States’ Venus Williams chases down a return shot to
Switzerland’s Stefanie Voegele during their second round match
at the Australian Open tennis championships in Melbourne,
Australia, Wednesday, Jan. 18, 2017.
Wednesday, citing an injury to
Venus’ right elbow. The sisters
have won 14 Grand Slam doubles
titles together, including four at
the Australian Open.
Venus Williams put plenty
into her second-round singles
match, which lasted 1 hour, 23
minutes.
In the second set, serving and
with a game point, she chased the
ball like a teenager from one side
of the court to the other, and back,
trying to finish off. Her forehand
landed too long, but her intention
was clear. Get through the round
ASAP. She won the subsequent
two points to hold.
At 15-15 and 5-2 in the second,
she was still remonstrating with
herself after missing a point. She
finished off the match later in the
same game, another break, to
reach the third round. Williams
lost to eventual semifinalist
Johanna Konta in the opening
round last year.
In the next round she’ll play
Duan Yingying, who beat Varvara
Lepchenko 6-1, 3-6, 10-8.
Venus is playing her 17th
Australian Open, but has never
won the title. Her best run was to
the final in 2003, when she lost
to Serena.
No. 11 Elina Svitolina had a
6-4, 6-1 win over U.S. qualifier
Julia Boserup to advance to a
third-round match against No.
24 Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova,
a 6-2, 6-2 winner over fellow
Russian Natalia Vikhlyantseva .
In another match, Alison
Riske beat No. 20 Zhang Shuai
7-6 (7), 4-6, 6-1.
Top-ranked Angelique Kerber
also moved on to the third round
wiht a 6-2, 6-7 (3), 6-2 win over
Carina Witthoeft on Wednesday,
which also happened to be her
29th birthday.
On the men’s side, fifth-
ranked Kei Nishikori reached the
third round with a 6-3, 6-4, 6-3
win over Jeremy Chardy.
Roger Federer beat Noah
Rubin 7-5, 6-3, 7-6 (3) on
Wednesday, maintaining his
record of never failing to reach
the third round at the 18 Austra-
lian Opens he’s contested.

freestyle relays which finished first and
second, respectively.
His time of one minute, 54.2
seconds in the 200 freestyle was an
eight-second personal record, one of
many on the afternoon for locals.
His Buckaroo teammate Shane
Miltenberger finished second in the
200 free with an 11-second PR of
2:09.28, and also placed second in the
500 freestyle while swimming anchor
in the freestyle relays. Rylan Headley,
Avery Madril and Nick Johnson also
placed in four events.
Pendleton’s girls won their only
event in the 200 freestyle relay with
Landry Huth, Abby Williams, Sam
Schmitz and Oceane Schreier touching
the wall in 1:42.31. Huth led the Bucks
girls with four placings, but Schmitz
had their highest individual finishes
taking second in the 100 and 200
freestyle.
Hermiston’s boys had plenty of
reasons to feel great about their after-
noon with six personal records and 14
podium finishes.
Carson Wrathall and Ean Buck
provided titles in the 100 freestyle
and backstroke, respectively, and then
swam the first two legs in the 400
freestyle. Bulldogs teammates Seth
Buck and Ryan Barnard brought them
home in the 400 for a winning time of
3:49.33
Barnard also won the 200 individual
medley by cutting 10 seconds for a PR
of 2:12.69. Wrathall beat his best time
by three seconds in his freestyle win.
Wrathall, Barnard, Seth Buck and
Ryan Wiley each placed four times for
Hermiston.
The Bulldogs’ small girls team
scored just five points to place seventh
and Hannah Walker had their highest
finish with fifth in the 500 freestyle.

smooth sailing with the Golden
Eagles winning by an average
margin of 28.5 points. Their
largest win was 72-19 over Dufur
on Dec. 29.
“We’re still doing the same
things we were doing with those
great teams before,” Maddern
said. “I just think that this year,
unlike with the state champion-
ship team years ago, it took a lot
of games for them to gel. These
girls, going through what they
did last year, that’s the difference.
This team has the state experience
that some of the teams in the past
didn’t have and that’s what’s
propelled us to the winning streak
that we have now.”
Nixyaawii also leads all 1A
teams in scoring with 57.2 points
a game.
Even more impressive than
those numbers is the fact that they
haven’t even had their full lineup
on the court for an entire game
this season.
First-team all-league post
Sunshine Fuentes went down
with a knee injury early in their
fourth game of the season. That
was also the first game for guard
Milan Schimmel, a late transfer
from Pendleton who gives the
team another dangerous shooter.
Stewart also has missed time as
well.
It’s forced the team to work
more as a unit, and allowed more
players to build confidence.
“I feel like last year during
state we got a little too cocky
and we didn’t pass the ball,” said
senior wing Stacy Fitzpatrick. “It
was more about who can shoot it,
who can make it, not more of a
team. So this year I feel like we’re
functioning more as a team.”
Maddern has taken notice.
“What I’ve been most
impressed with, with a lot of kids,
is just their willingness to help
each other in practice,” he said.
“They push each other in practice,
and that’s what I think will propel
them to reach their goals.”
Schimmel has also made a big
impact in a short amount of time,
and led the team with 17 points
and six assists when Stewart was
out with an illness.
“Most of these girls I’ve played
with basically my whole life, and
we can read one other and we
know where each other are on the
court,” said the younger sister of
the WNBA’s Shoni Schimmel.
“It’s a great thing to have again
because we’re great as a team and
we know how to pass the ball.”
That unselfish play is what
excites Maddern most about this
season’s team.
“One of the stats that’s really
stuck out to me this is some of the
assist-to-turnover ratio,” he said.
“We’ll go some games where
we’ll have 16-17 assists and we’ll
only have three or four turnovers.
In all my years coaching I’ve
never seen that.”
Maddern said he expects
to get Fuentes back before the
district tournament, and she’s
been making progress in limited
practice time.
“We expect to have her back in
a couple of weeks and be nearly
full strength by the time districts
rolls around,” he said. “We still
have not gotten everybody on the
court yet. We haven’t even seen
what the full lineup can do, so I’m
really looking forward to seeing it
obviously.”
The last undefeated seasons in
1A were back-to-back as Condon/
Wheeler went 30-0 in 2013-14
and Damascus Christian did it the
next season.
Nixyaawii’s next game is
Friday when it hosts Joseph at 6
p.m. There are nine games left in
the regular season, and the Golden
Eagles aren’t putting any pressure
on themselves to win out.
“We aren’t focused on that,”
Melton said. “We’re just focused
on what’s next, day to day. Our
priorities right now are just
showing up to practice every day,
giving it our all, really getting
physical with each other because
we have to prepare for those
games later on.”

PREPS: Umatilla boys beat Riverside, start 2-0 in EOL
Continued from 1B
recording 21 steals and giving the
ball away just 13 times.
“We played a lot better tonight,
we didn’t turn the ball over much
which is a great sign for us,”
Riverside coach Clair Costello
said. “We passed the ball really
well, shot the ball well ... it was a
good game and a big win for the
girls.”
For Umatilla (6-9, 1-1),
Aleesha Watson led the team
with a game-high 20 points — or
74 percent of her team’s produc-
tion — though 13 of those came
in the second quarter.
“We let Watson do what she
wanted in the second quarter,
but we tightened down and did
a lot better job in the second
half holding her to five points,”
Costello said.

UMATILLA 43, RIVER-
SIDE 33 — At Boardman, the
Umatilla Vikings stayed unbeaten
in league play with a 42-33
victory over rival Riverside on
Tuesday night at Riverside High
School.
“It was a good team effort all
around tonight,” Umatilla coach
Derek Lete said. “Riverside is a
hard place for us to play histori-
cally, but the boys buckled down
and executed down the stretch.”
Sebastian Garcia led Umatilla
(10-5, 2-0 EOL) with 14 points
while Justin Maret had 11 and
Kaden Webb had eight.
Riverside coach Clair Costello
said the game was probably the
best his team had played all
season, but in the end the Pirates’
scoring woes plagued the team
again. Riverside trailed just
30-28 at the start of the fourth,
but the Pirates managed just five
points in the quarter as Umatilla
pulled away for the win.
“To hold a team like that
(Umatilla) to 43 points, we
should win it,” Costello said.
“We played good defense, we
didn’t turn the ball over much, we
just have to figure out how to put
the ball in the basket.”
Felix Aparicio and Mason
Hegar led Riverside (4-9, 0-3)
with nine points apiece, and Eon
Castillo added seven.
