Carrying their momentum from
last week’s road win at Scappoose
that earned them the district’s No.
1 spot, the Pendleton Bucks shut
out Milwaukie 56-0. It was their
season’s first game playing in the
Pendleton Round-Up arena.
For quarterback Trent Sorey,
who threw for 118 yards and two
touchdowns, the game was partic-
ularly special. He made his return
to the famed stadium as a foot-
ball player after competing in this
year’s Round-Up as a team roper.
“This was wonderful,” he said.
“I’ve been coming here ever since
I was little. This was a dream
come true.”
His team wasted no time put-
ting the ball in the end zone. Less
than two minutes into the first
quarter, Sorey carried for 21 yards
to score. Later in the first quarter,

Pendleton proved just as strong
defensively. Patterson, a line-
backer on defense, forced Mil-
waukie quarterback Deegan
McCord into their own end zone
for a safety, wrapping up the first
quarter with the Bucks in the lead,
15-0.
Patterson opened the second
quarter with another touchdown,
as the Bucks continued to domi-
nate at the arena.

“We talked about play-
ing to our level all the time,”
Hermiston coach David
Faaeteete said. “Southridge
is young and hurt. We just
had to play hard and finish
the game.”
Hermiston moves to 4-1
in MCC play, and will take

at Edgar Brown Stadium
in Pasco. The Riverhawks
dropped a 34-21 game to

Andrew James ran for
a 1-yard touchdown, and

put up 168 yards in the air in
the first half. His TD passes
went to Trevor Wagner and
Jordan Ramirez.
Noland, who at times
dragged two or three defend-
ers down the field, ran for
touchdowns of 10, 3 and 2
yards
“We thought we need to
come out and show what we
do,” Noland said. “Had to
show we weren’t messing
around.”

The effort comes just over a
week after the King County Council
approved spending $135 million in
