ONTARIO 3, MAC-HI
0 — At Ontario, Mac-Hi
opened up Greater Oregon

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

Pioneers with seven kills
and 12 digs, while Jadie
Jackson added five kills,
three aces and one block.

Maria Moreno.

league home opener.

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.

BLAZERS: Nurkic lost 34 pounds in summer to be quicker, more agile inside
Continued from 1B
also finished the season with
a career-best 23 points per
game.
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.”
