SPORTS Saturday, October 7, 2017 East Oregonian BUCKS: PHS had a chance in fourth UMATILLA: Defense shut down Pirates Continued from 1B sitting on the sideline, hoping to get the football back, that just takes a toll more on your psyche than anything else. They just kept moving the chains and hats off to (Larson) and the offensive line for blocking.” But as dominant as the Cougars were, the Buckaroos (3-3, 2-2) had a few prime chances that could have changed the outcome of the game. After forcing a Cougar punt to start the third quarter, Pendleton drove the ball to the Cougars 35 before the offense stalled out and had to punt. And then just three plays later, the Bucks recovered a Larson fumble at the Cougars 30 with 5:13 left in the third quarter. However, the Buckaroos came away empty-handed. Pendleton picked up one first down before the offense again stalled at the 19 and turned it over on downs. “We just have to capitalize on things like that fumble,” said Bower, who finished 10 for 21 passing for 139 yards and one interception. “We have to put the ball in the end zone and if you’re not going to capitalize on things like that you’re not going to win.” Pendleton forced another Cougars punt early in the fourth quarter, getting the ball back on its own 32 with 11:04 left to play. But the Cougars defense tightened up and forced a three-and-out. That set up a 16-play, 78-yard back-breaking drive for the Cougars offense as Larson shifted his way through Pend- leton’s defense for a 14-yard score to ice the game. “They’re a good football team, we knew that coming in,” Davis said, “but we had our opportunities and I think it sent some of Webb’s passes long and may have caused a few wrinkles in play calling, the Vikings were able to establish the run early which opened things up later on. “We were trying to establish the run game,” Webb said. “If we do that it sucks guys into the box and opens it up for throws. Establishing the run game is just about our first thought.” Trent Durfey led the team with 11 carries for 75 yards. While Alvarez racked up 78 yards on just nine carries. Defensively, Trent Durfey continued to play a big role. His size, speed, and physicality set him a part and allowed him to make big stops. “He’s the heart and soul on the defense,” Dan Durfey said. “He’s the guy that controls everything out there, lets the guys know what’s going on, he’s the leader.” Riverside was held to only 90 yards in the air with Hegar completing 44-percent of his passes. The Pirates did pick up yards on the ground thanks to the efforts of senior Aramis Corpus and sopho- more JR Roque, but the duo only managed to record 66 combined yards. The reason for Umatil- la’s defensive success is simple, Trent Durfey says. “Do your job,” he said after the win. ——— Contact Alexis at aman- sanarez@eastoregonian. com or 541-564-4542.

After a bad snap from Riverside’s punter on fourth down, Umatilla recovered the ball to bring Webb back out. Twenty six yards and six plays later, he ran for two yards to extend the Vikings lead to 16-0. Both teams opted for the two-point conversion after each score. Riverside struggled to contain the Vikings in the first quarter, and couldn’t quite find its rhythm on offense but a momentum changer to open the second quarter stopped Umatilla’s chance at a shutout. The Pirates defense recovered a fumble on the 26-yard line to put them in prime position to score but unsuccessful runs and missed targets by Hegar brought up 4th-and-nine. Hegar was final able to find a receiver down the field and recorded a 23-yard touchdown pass to put Riverside within eight points. The team’s traded touch- downs as Umatilla scored on the ensuing drive to extend its lead to 22-8. The Vikings scored one more time before the half. Sophomore running back Pedro Alvarez ran in a 36 yarder to add six points to the board. The ground game was as much of a factor as the passing game. Winds were gusting throughout most of the night, but it worked in Umatilla’s favor. Although Staff photo by E.J. Harris Pendleton’s Kirk Liscom pulls down Mt.

We had our opportunities to play with, if not beat a really, really good football team and just came up short.” Pendleton’s defense was not at full-strength in the game, as junior outside linebacker Willie Camp was out after having an emergency appendectomy on Wednesday, and will keep him out for at least two more weeks. Then later, the injury bug bit Pendleton hard again as junior running back/linebacker Shawn Yeager was tackled Page 3B awkwardly and missed most of the fourth quarter with a right leg injury, and is expected to miss some time. But with all that, Davis was proud of the way his team continually fought in the game, even as fatigued and depleted as they were. “I’ll say it 100 times about this group, they’re high-character kids and not once have I seen them fold up shop and give up,” Davis said. “Did we wear out? Yes. But they didn’t give up and that’s something to continue to build on. I’m excited about where this football team is, we were right there with a top 3 team in the state ... our goal of being a playoff team is still in-tact and now we’ll go try and take care of Hood River.” ——— Contact Eric at esinger@ eastoregonian.com or 541-966-0839.

PREPS: Echo runs for 670 yards, forces six turnovers to thump Powder Valley Continued from 1B when they play Heppner, something that Salas said the team is extremely happy about. “We’re excited to play Heppner for another league title. The kids are having fun and playing well and we’ll be ready for Heppner,” he said. Weston-McEwen (1-4, 0-2) will try to get back on the winning side of things next week with a trip to Amity. ECHO 68, POWDER VALLEY 38 — At Echo, the Cougars tallied 670 rushing yards and 10 total touchdowns as they defeated the Powder Valley Badgers 68-38 on Friday night. Quarterback Devan Craig took advantage of some open running lanes as he led the team with 402 rushing yards and five touchdowns, while also throwing for two more scores. Behind Craig, Damien Curiel ran for 102 yards and two touchdowns while catching an 81-yard touchdown pass, and Zack Gehrke added another 80 yards and one touchdown. Kyle Ranger also hauled in a 5-yard touchdown pass from Craig. On defense, Echo (4-2 overall, 2-1 Special District 1) gave up 180 rushing yards and 158 passing yards, but picked up three intercep- tions from Michael Pointer, Ty Mulder and Gehrke, and three big fumble recoveries to help keep the Badgers at bay. The Cougars also were down a few players with 13 on Friday, forcing kids to play in different positions and see more time on the field than some were used to. “The boys played hard and they were gassed at the end,” Echo coach Rick Thew said. “I’m pretty proud of them tonight.” Echo next hosts Joseph on Friday at 7 p.m. (Quintana 11-11), 1:08 or 2:38 p.m. (TBS) x-Tuesday, Oct. 10: Washington
