East Oregonian Page 3B SPORTS PREP ROUNDUP: Mac-Hi boys soccer beats La Grande for fifth straight win Tuesday, September 26, 2017 Continued from 1B HELIX WINS TWICE — At Helix, the Grizzlies hosted Pine Eagle and Cove for a pair of Old Oregon League matches and sent both teams back home with losses. Helix (11-5, 2-2 OOL) defeated Pine Eagle in three sets 25-8, 25-10 and 25-8 and then edged out Cove in four 18-25, 25-19, 27-25 and 25-22. Sadie Wilson led the Grizzlies with 11 kills against Cove, and Lynne Roberts was dynamite from the serving line as she was 15 for 15 with five aces. Helix hosts Nixyaawii and Echo for a pair of league matches on Tuesday afternoon starting at 4 p.m. ONTARIO 3, MAC-HI 0 — At Ontario, Mac-Hi opened up Greater Oregon League play with a close loss to Ontario 3-0 on Saturday. While the 3-0 score makes it seem lopsided, the set scores were much closer with the Pioneers (1-8, 0-2 GOL) falling 19-25, 13-25 and 17-25. “It was a good game and I am proud of how hard they played today,” coach Amanda Nelson said. Britany Wells led the Pioneers with seven kills and 12 digs, while Jadie Jackson added five kills, three aces and one block. Megan Norton also had a notable game with two kills, three aces and two digs. Mac-Hi hosts La Grande on Tuesday at 7 p.m. JEFFERSON 2, UMATILLA 0 — At Salem, the Vikings saw its losing streak extend to three games with a 25-13, 25-10 loss to Jefferson at the Salem Academy Tournament on Saturday. Umatilla (6-8, 1-1) next hosts Nyssa on Friday at 5:30 p.m. SOUTH WASCO COUNTY TOURNA- MENT — At Maupin, Stanfield, Riverside and Condon/Wheeler all took part in the South Wasco County Tournament on Saturday Stanfield (1-10) beat Condon/Wheeler 25-20, 25-18 for its first victory of the season, and then lost to host South Wasco County 25-12, 25-17. Condon/Wheeler (5-11) went 1-3 on the day, beating Riverside 25-21, 25-16 and then losing to South Wasco (25-9, 25-18) and Damascus Christian (25-11, 25-11). Riverside (0-10) lost to Damascus Christian, Condon/Wheeler and South Wasco to stay winless on the season. GIRLS SOCCER RIVERSIDE 0, UMATILLA 0 — At Umatilla, the Riverside Pirates and Umatilla Vikings renewed their rivalry for the Special District 2 opener and played a defensive game to a 0-0 draw on Friday. Umatilla (1-3-2, 0-0-1) coach Tim Lee was happy with the effort his defense played, especially Patty Burres and goal keeper Maria Moreno. Umatilla continues league play on Friday when it hosts Irrigon at 7 p.m. and Riverside (3-1-2, 0-0-1) hosts Nyssa on Saturday at 1 p.m. LA GRANDE 4, MAC-HI 0 — At Milton-Freewater, the Mac-Hi Pioneers’ tough season continued on Saturday with a shutout loss to La Grande in the Greater Oregon League home opener, the fourth-straight scoreless game for the Pioneers. Mac-Hi (0-5-2, 0-2) next hosts Baker on Saturday at Noon. BOYS SOCCER MAC-HI 3, LA GRANDE 1 — At Milton-Freewater, the Mac-Hi Pioneers rattled off their fifth straight victory with a 3-1 win over La Grande on Saturday in their league home opener. Mac-Hi (5-1, 2-0 GOL) next travels to Riverside on Wednesday for a key non-league game at 4 p.m. CROSS COUNTRY On Saturday, Heppner traveled to The Dalles for the Bridgette Nelson Memorial Invitational Cross Country Meet just one day after facing a tough field in Umatilla. At the Footrace to Valhalla, the Heppner boys squad was the only Mustangs varsity team that managed to get enough points to place. The Mustangs finished the run Friday with 88 points for fourth place. Running two consec- utive days didn’t hinder Heppner’s performance, though. The boys shaved a couple of points of their previous total, and finished in third with 85 points. The girls finished in fourth place after they tallied 98 points. Junior Hunter Nichols finished in second place, clocking 17:29.57 in the 5,000-meter varsity and junior varsity combined race. The fastest Mustang on the girls team was freshman Madelyn Nichols, who finished third in 21:25.51. Despite Heppner putting up some of the best times of the day, it was the home team that ran away with the victory in both the boys and girls race. The Dalles successful grouped its runners together, a strategy that is more effective than having a few fast runners, to rack up 34 points for the boys and 36 for the girls. Up next, Heppner will join Hermiston and Pend- leton in the Nike Portland XC on Friday held at Port- land Meadows Race Track. ——— Official team scores Boys 1. The Dalles 2. Toppenish 3. Heppner 4.

Nurkic came to the Blazers in a trade last February and quickly developed chemistry with his teammates. He averaged 15.2 points, 10.4 rebounds and 1.9 blocks in 20 games with the Blazers, who were 14-5 with him in the starting lineup. His season was cut short by a non-displaced right leg fibular fracture. Now fully healed, Nurkic is again embracing his role with the Blazers. He dropped 34 pounds this summer in an effort to be quicker and more agile. The Blazers acquired another big man, 7-footer Zach Collins out of Gonzaga, on draft night. The team also landed 6-foot-9 forward Caleb Swanigan out of Purdue with the 26th pick. The Big Ten Player of the Year averaged 18.5 points and 12.5 rebounds last season as a sophomore. Gone this season is Allen Crabbe, who was traded to the Brooklyn Nets. A 6-foot-6 wing, Crabbe averaged 10.7 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.2 assists off the bench for Portland last season. The Blazers’ winningest starting lineup included Lillard, McCollum, Nurkic and forwards Noah Vonleh and Maurice Harkless. Vonleh, however, won’t start training camp this season because of a shoulder injury. Coach Terry Stotts and most of the players who spoke at media day said it’s critical the Blazers get off to a good start this season. Portland struggled at the start last year and went just 4-11 in December. The team dipped 11 games below .500 with a 120-113 overtime loss at Detroit on Feb. 28. A 13-3 March helped put the team back on track. “I think for us it’s important to come into the season and believe,” Lillard said. “No matter who we got or who we didn’t get.” QUOTABLE: Lillard was asked about the weekend’s protests in response to Presi- dent Donald Trump’s Twitter comments about the Warriors and the NFL. “I’m happy to see athletes take a role in, I guess, politics, coming in our direction, but I’m more happy that some guys are actually informed. It’s kind of been brought to us now, and I’m happy that there are guys who actually know what’s going on,” he said. “I think it’s sad that with all that’s going on in the world and in the United States, that our president is concerned with football and basketball. I kind of think that’s crazy. I think what you saw yesterday with guys locking arms and guys kneeling, and some teams not coming out for the national anthem, I think that’s what it will take. It takes that kind of togetherness to truly make a stand.” NFL: Prescott throws go-ahead touchdown to Butler early in fourth quarter Continued from 1B show of unity that followed widespread protests across the NFL of critical comments by President Donald Trump over the weekend. After they kneeled, they stood and walked to the sideline for the anthem. Prescott, 13 of 18 for 183 yards, broke a 14-14 tie with a 37-yard scoring pass to Brice Butler with 11:52 to play. Arizona, with a spec- tacular catch by Larry Fitzgerald for 24 yards on a third-and-18 play, moved downfield but the drive stalled. Phil Dawson’s 37-yard field goal cut the lead to 21-17 with 6:35 left. Ezekiel Elliott, who gained 8 yards in nine carries against Denver and drew criticism for not hustling after a couple of late interceptions, was bottled up much of the game, but still gained 80 yards on 22 attempts, 30 on one play. He ran 8 yards for the final Cowboys touchdown. The Cardinals (1-2), in their home opener, got a big game from Fitzgerald, who caught 13 passes for 149 yards, in the process moving ahead of Marvin Harrison into eighth in career receiving yards. Carson Palmer had a big first half, completed 15 of 18 for 145 yards and finished 29 of 48 for 325 yards and two scores. He was sacked six times, a career-high three by DeMarcus Lawrence. The Cardinals dominated the first half statistically, but were deadlocked with the Cowboys at 7-7. Arizona had a 152-57 advantage in yards and dominated time of possession 19:34 to 9:41. Arizona took the opening kickoff and went 82 yards in eight plays. Palmer was 5-for-5 on the drive, capped by a 25-yard touchdown pass to Jaron Brown. Before Dallas even had a first down, Arizona mounted a nearly nine-minute drive but a touchdown pass to Brown was negated by a holding penalty and Phil Dawson’s 36-yard field goal try was wide right. It was the third mid-range miss for the 41-year-old kicker this season. And the miss left the door open for the Cowboys to get back in it. Prescott scored on a 10-yard run, flipping head- first over the goal line to tie it at 7-7 with 3:33 left in the half. TAKING A KNEE: Jones has been a staunch supporter of President Donald Trump, so the speculation was that he would not allow his players to kneel during the national anthem. Following a weekend of kneeling and protesting across the NFL, the Cowboys and their owner displayed their own version of unity Monday night, kneeling on the field before rising as a group and going to the sideline for the national anthem. Numerous boos rang out across University of Phoenix Stadium as the Cowboys kneeled and continued as the players rose, still arm-in-arm, and stepped back to the sideline as the flag was unfurled across the field. They remained connected as Jordin Sparks sang the national anthem. The Cardinals had their own symbol of unity after a weekend of protests in the NFL, gathering along the goal line arm-in-arm during the national anthem. They were joined by team pres- ident Michael Bidwell, his family and general manager Steve Keim. More than 200 NFL players kneeled, sat or prayed during the national anthem on Sunday after President Trump said any player who does not stand for the national anthem should be fired. Sparks, whose father Phillippi played in the NFL, had “PROV 31:8-9” written on her hand while she sang the anthem. The bible verse says: “Speak up for those who cannot speak for them- selves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy.” SCOREBOARD Local slate PREP FOOTBALL Friday Pendleton at Redmond, 7 p.m. Hood River at Hermiston, 7 p.m. Umatilla at Burns, 7 p.m. Irrigon at Riverside, 7 p.m. Stanfield at Culver, 7 p.m. Heppner at Weston-McEwen, 7 p.m. Pilot Rock at Enterprise, 7 p.m. Echo at Wallowa, 7 p.m. Arlington vs. Mitchell/Spray/Wheeler (at Fossil), 4 p.m. PREP VOLLEYBALL Tuesday Nixyaawii at Helix, 4 p.m. Heppner at Weston-McEwen, 5 p.m. Pilot Rock at Elgin, 5 p.m. Echo at Helix, 5:30 p.m. Stanfield at Culver, 5:30 p.m. Hermiston at The Dalles, 6:30 p.m. Hood River at Pendleton, 6:30 p.m. Wednesday Riverside at Ione, 5 p.m. Thursday Pilot Rock at Weston-McEwen, 5 p.m. Stanfield at Heppner, 5 p.m. Sherman at Ione, 5 p.m. South Wasco vs. Condon/Wheeler (at Condon), 5 p.m. Pendleton at The Dalles, 6:30 p.m. Hood River at Hermiston, 6:30 p.m. La Grande at Mac-Hi, 7 p.m. Friday Nixyaawii at Cove, 2 p.m. Vale at Riverside, 3 p.m. Echo at Wallowa, 4 p.m. Burns at Irrigon, 4 p.m. Condon/Wheeler vs. Monument/Dayville (at Dayville), 5 p.m. Nyssa at Umatilla, 5:30 p.m. PREP BOYS SOCCER Tuesday The Dalles at Hermiston, 4:30 p.m. Hood River at Pendleton, 4:30 p.m. Irrigon at Prescott (WA), 4 p.m. Wednesday Mac-Hi at Riverside, 4 p.m. Friday Irrigon at Umatilla, 5 p.m. PREP GIRLS SOCCER Tuesday Hermiston at The Dalles, 4:30 p.m. Pendleton at Hood River, 4:30 p.m. Friday Irrigon at Umatilla, 7 p.m. PREP CROSS COUNTRY Thursday Hermiston, Helix, Stanfield, Umatilla, Weston-McEwen, Riverside/Irrigon, Heppner at Bulldog Fest (Riverfront Park, Hermiston), 4:50 p.m. Friday Mac-Hi at Baker Invitational, 4:30 p.m. COLLEGE VOLLEYBALL Wednesday Blue Mountain at Yakima Valley, 6 p.m. Thursday Eastern Oregon at Walla Walla, 6 p.m. Friday Blue Mountain at Treasure Valley, 6 p.m. College of Idaho at Eastern Oregon, 7 p.m. COLLEGE WOMEN’S SOCCER Tuesday Blue Mountain at Treasure Valley, 2 p.m. COLLEGE MEN’S SOCCER Tuesday Blue Mountain at Treasure Valley, 4:15 p.m. COLLEGE FOOTBALL Saturday Montana State-Northern at Eastern Oregon, 6 p.m. Prep Standings Through Sept. 25 PREP FOOTBALL 5A SPECIAL DISTRICT 1 Lg Ovr PF Mtn.
