Newspaper Page TextTuesday, November 14, 2017 SPORTS PIRATES: Use aggressive second DAWGS: To face No. 2 Wilsonville Continued from 1B half to win, goals from three players Rebels scored again — Page 2B East Oregonian Photo courtesy of Todd Veenhuis/The Oregonian Riverside’s Jose Peralta booms a kick during the 3A/2A/1A state championship game on Saturday at Liberty High School in Hillsboro. Riverside defeated Catlin Gabel 4-1. Continued from 1B back-to-back possessions to push its lead to 3-0. The first came off the foot of sophomore Ulyces Lopez after he beat three Catlin Gabel defenders. Lopez ended up a few feet away from the goal line before he turned and fired to the inside post. “The keep was expecting it to go far post,” Lopez said, “and I trusted my gut and went near post, and it went in.” Peralta would send another one in on the ensuing attack after he beat the keeper and was charging toward an open goal. No lead is comfortable against a tough team like Catlin Gabel but after a penalty in the box put senior Misael Madrigal one-on-one with the Eagles’ goalie, the Pirates were just waiting for the clock to wind down. “I was out (on the side- lines) and I saw 10 minutes left on the clock and we were up 4-0,” Lopez said, “and I started yelling, ‘we won, we won we won this.’” The shut out was avoided when senior Ben Karp finally put Catlin Gabel on the board in the final minutes of play, but it didn’t do much for the defending champions. Riverside will be bringing its second title back to Boardman, and the first under head coach Fran- cisco Velazquez. “It’s my dream,” he said. “I had the state cham- pionship when I was the assistant coach and now I have my state championship as the head coach.” ——— Contact Alexis at aman- sanarez@eastoregonian.com or 541-564-4542.

The Bulldogs responded with a 83-yard score from Hinkle on the very first play of the drive, as the senior took the handoff and sprinted untouched to the end zone. “They just scored on back-to-back possessions, so I was just trying to make a huge play for us to get the momentum back,” Hinkle said. “I saw the hole and I wasn’t going to Staff photo by Kathy Aney let anyone catch me.

MUSTANGS: End 2017 campaign 6-4 after slow start, two losses to St. Paul Continued from 1B carries. Three times Heppner put together solid offensive drives to get inside St. Paul territory, but all three times the Mustangs stalled out after getting the ball to the Buckaroos 35. “It goes back to the little things,” Dougherty said of the offense. “We’d get a drive going or a big play and then take a wrong step or slip up and that’s all it takes to knock us down.” Coming out of the half- time break trailing 13-0, Heppner’s offense resorted to trying to play catch-up with the passing game which was not its strong suit. Freshman quarterback Jayden Wilson threw the ball 19 times, completing just five passes, for 40 yards with two interceptions. “We just wanted to fight as hard as we could,” Heppner senior lineman Wyatt Steagall said. “(Coach Greg) Grant said whoever was going to lose Staff photo by Eric Singer Heppner’s Wyatt Steagall leaps toward St. Paul QB Holden Smith to deflect a pass during Saturday’s 2A quarterfinal game at Newberg High School.

I don’t think we weakened, we fought as hard as we could and we left it all on that field, it’s just the way it went.” St. Paul’s left-handed quarterback Holden Smith completed 9 of 14 passes for 109 yards with one touchdown, and running back Saul Martinez ran the ball 25 times for 141 yards and one touchdown. Justin Herberger added 99 rushing yards and 32 receiving yards with one touchdown as well. The Buckaroos will now play No. 5 Santiam in the 2A semifinals next week. But for Heppner, the season comes to an end, a season that head coach Greg Grant said in the postgame huddle that he is lucky to been a part of. There was some doubt surrounding the Mustangs team this season, and its ability to extend the program’s streak of 20 consecutive playoff appear- ances. The Mustangs grad- uated numerous all-state players over the previous two seasons, leaving large voids on the field that were being filled by a lot of young and inexperienced players. Things didn’t start off promising, as Heppner dropped its first three games of the season. However, not long after the Mustangs began to come together as a team and play like Heppner teams are supposed to, wrapped up another league title to get into the playoffs. “We’re proud as heck about it,” Steagall said. Added Dougherty, “I’m really proud of this group. We came into the year young, had a lot of kids playing positions they had never played before that had just stood on the sideline and cheered. But everyone stepped up tremendously.” ———— Contact Eric at esinger@ eastoregonian.com or 541-966-0839. Follow him on Twitter @ByEricSinger.
