DUCKS: Freeman led team
with 150 yards on 23 carries
Continued from 1B
three times, in 2013 against Nicholls,
2012 against Colorado and 2008
against Utah State. UCLA also scored
seven rushing touchdowns against
the Ducks at Autzen in 1975. Oregon
scored more points in a game than it
has in 101 years.
“That was the first step, going out
there to try and put as many points on
the board as we can,” Freeman said.
“That’s our mentality week in and
week out.”
Freeman looked like the back who
ran for 3,200 yards in his first two
years before injuries kept him below
1,000 last season.
The senior had 78 yards in the first
quarter, 116 in the opening half and
finished with 150 yards on 23 carries.
Benoit turned seven carries into
107 yards, including Oregon’s longest
run of 35 yards. The senior scored on
runs of 10, 1 and 29 yards.
“We wanted to dominate as a
group,” he said. “We are always
talking about competing with each
other. When I see Royce do good, I
want to do well and Tony wants to do
well.”
Brooks-James added 32 yards on
nine carries, and the Ducks finished
with 348 yards on 52 carries, an
average of 6.7 per rush behind an
experienced line.
“I thought they did what they were
supposed to do,” coach Willie Taggart
said of his line. “Let’s see here, 348
yards, yeah, I think they did a good
job. It starts there. Those guys open
holes for Royce and Kani and Tony.”
Benoit’s final touchdown broke
the stadium record of seven rushing
touchdowns.
“I wasn’t really keeping track of
how many touchdowns we scored,
but it’s exciting to learn that we broke
a record,” senior offensive lineman
Tyrell Crosby said.
Crosby was back after missing
almost all of last season with a foot
injury to join returning starters Shane
Lemieux, Jake Hanson and Calvin
Throckmorton. Jake Pisarcik made his
second career start at guard.
“I’m glad they produced out on
the field and showed everybody
the improvements they’ve made,”
Freeman said. “They made many
strides to get better and they’ve gotten
me better bringing a physical nature to
the field.”
While Freeman was the lead back
once again with 23 carries, Benoit
and Brooks-James combined for 16
and Oregon got 13 carries combined
from five other runners in the first
game for running backs coach Donte
Pimpleton.
“It does take some pressure off
coach P knowing he has a deep
backfield,” Freeman said. “If any of
us get tired or have any problems, we
have more than capable other versatile
running backs behind you.”
Freeman, Benoit and Brooks-
James are in their third season working
together.
“We’re looking at fronts and
schemes so when (Freeman) comes
to the sideline we try to help him find
holes,” Benoit said. “We help each
other out and keep learning the game.”

SPORTS
BEAVERS: Defense still lacks consistency
Continued from 1B
If the Beavers continue to
play at the current level, they
will be hard pressed to pull out
additional wins.
Andersen said the Beavers,
defensively, have a long ways
to go.
“The thing that I’m surprised
(about) is we’re not where we
need to be from a fundamental
standpoint at times and the
attacking ability,” he said
Saturday. “I think these kids are
a lot better. I know we’re a lot
better. We just have to contin-
ually work with them, and the
youth cannot be an excuse. We
have seven young guys out
there on the field at that point
and that’s what we’ve got. ... It
is what it is.”
The Beavers did show the
ability to make plays on defense.
They had six tackles for loss
and intercepted two passes, one
that Manase Hungalu returned
for a touchdown to put the
Beavers up 28-20 in the third
quarter.
Those were flashes the
Beavers were unable to capture
and make consistent.
“It felt like we expected
too much,” Hungalu said. “We
needed to respect our opponent
a little bit more. But we needed
to make those adjustments as
the game (went on) and we did.
It could be better and we’re
going to work on that this next
week.”
The Beavers are working
to find an offensive identity,

though they are closer on that
side of the ball.
OSU threw 47 passes against
Colorado State. On Saturday,
quarterback
Jake
Luton
completed 18 of 25 passes for
235 yards and a touchdown
with one interception against
the Vikings.
Luton has also shown he can
move the team in two-minute
situations.
He led the Beavers on the
77-yard touchdown drive that
won the game and also had a
nice drive at the end of the first
half at Colorado State.
“We put together a couple of
huge drives, the one last game
in the first half and now the last
drive of the game here to put
us in a great spot to be able to
take the lead,” Andersen said.
“Those were huge drives.”
The run game, however, has
not taken off yet. The Beavers
rushed for 154 yards and three
scores on Saturday, and Artavis
Pierce looked explosive on his
four carries.
Ryan Nall was unable to get
on track and finished with 59
yards on 16 carries.
The Beavers did go to
backup quarterback Darell
Garretson and his run-oriented
package a few times, mostly
deep in the red zone.
Garretson rushed six times
for 29 yards and a touchdown,
but did not throw a pass.
“There is no quarterback
controversy,” Andersen said.
“Those kids understand the
situation and it is a package for
us. Darell will have a package
for us and we’ll need him. He
causes some problems with
his legs and he can still run
the offense very well. We need
them both and we’re going to
use them both.”
PREPS: Umatilla’s Celeste Rodriguez scores hat trick as Vikings top Buckaroos
Continued from 1B
1A-4A class.
Heppner’s very own
Madelyn and Hunter Nichols
placed sixth and fifth,
respectively, in the girls and
boys varsity 5,000-meters.
Madelyn Nichols clocked
22:31.82, while Hunter
Nichols pushed the Heppner
boys squad into eighth place
(272 points) after recording a
time of 17:49.72 — edging
out his competition by at
least five seconds.
Mackenzie
Heideman
also had a strong finish in the
5,000-meter varsity race and
placed 24th in 25:00.98.
“Today was an early
meet,” head coach Russ
Nichols said. “We just
wanted some of those kids
to experience a meet ... we
just wanted to get one under
their belt before we run in
Hermiston next weekend ...
so that’s what our goal was
today.”
All three schools will
compete against each other
next week Runner’s Soul
XC Fest in Hermiston on
Saturday.

(25-9, 25-7) to win the tour-
nament championship.
Weston-McEwen (7-2)

statistics on the day were
Alyssa Finifrock with 28
kills, Bryce Thul with 54
assists, Chelsea Quaempts
with 47 digs and both Thul
and Finifrock with seven

“It was a great tournament
for us,” Weston-McEwen
coach Shawn White said.
“I thought we did a nice job
going through the day with a
lot of good learning and good
effort put into the tournament
by my team.”
Heppner (4-3) beat Enter-
prise 2-0 (25-16, 25-18) in
bracket play before getting
ousted by Weston-McEwen,
and Pilot Rock lost to Imbler
2-1 (25-19, 9-25, 15-13) in
