Prep roundup
Heppner rocks homecoming
with big win against Irrigon
East Oregonian
HEPPNER — Mason
Lehman scored four touch-
downs — three rushing
and one receiving — and
the Heppner Mustangs ran
away with a 38-2 home-
coming night win over Irri-
gon on Friday.
A safety was the only
thing that got Irrigon on
Heppner’s scoreboard in
the nonleague game. Hep-
pner quarterback Jayden
Wilson was 4-7 for 142
yards, threw for one touch-
down, and rushed for
another, and Lehman ran
for 100 yards.
Irrigon running back
Josue Auilera ran the ball
17 times for 59 yards.
“It was a typical home-
coming game,” said Mus-
tangs coach Greg Grant.
“There was lots of energy
and a lack of focus.”
Heppner (4-2, 1-0) will
resume league play next
Friday when they host
Weston-McEwen, while
Irrigon (3-3, 0-1) travels to
Vale.
BURNS 38, UMA-
TILLA 12 — Umatilla
suffered a home loss to
Burns on Friday night.
Quarterback Andrew
Earl lead the Vikings,
passing for 233 yards and
two touchdowns. Run-
ning back Ramiro Alverez
hauled in three passes for
59 yards and caught one
touchdown.
“The kids keep improv-
ing on passing and run-
ning,” said Umatilla coach
Dan Durfey. “We stopped
Burns’ ball in the second
half up until the last two
minutes, when they put
two touchdowns past us.
We wait till we’re down to
come alive.”
Umatilla (1-5, 0-2) will
have a bye week before
hosting Vale on Oct. 19.
ECHO 39, MCKEN-
ZIE 19 — The Cougars
rallied from a 19-13 half-
time deficit to hand the
host Eagles their first
loss.
“It was awesome,” Echo
coach Rick Thew said. “It
rained the whole night, but
it was fun.”
Mason Smith ran for
five touchdowns for the
Cougars (4-1), while
Devan Craig scored at the
end of the game, taking the
ball out of an opponent’s
hands at the 1-yard line,
and running 99 yards for a
touchdown.
Defensively, Mychael
Pointer was tasked with
containing
McKenzie’s
Daniel Quirk.
“He played amazing,”
Thew said of Pointer. “His
job was to make sure he
didn’t get loose.”
McKenzie (5-1), which
was averaging 67 points a
game, was held scoreless
in the second half.
GRANT
UNION
32, STANFIELD 8 —
The Tigers led 8-6 at the
half, but the second half
belonged to the Prospec-
tors (3-3, 1-0) in the Spe-
cial District 6 matchup.
“We played good, and
were putting together good
drives, but we had some
penalties and turnovers at
the worst time,” Stanfield
coach Davy Salas said.
“We were playing good
defense and moving the
ball in the first half.”
AJ Keeney scored for
the Tigers, who dropped to
0-2 in league play and 0-6
overall.
DAWGS: Hermiston can’t
score in second half
Continued from 1B
22-yard touchdown. The
PAT failed, giving Hermis-
ton a 7-6 lead.
In the second quarter,
the Riverhawks scored two
touchdowns in a span of 14
seconds.
After
Vongphachanh
returned an Andrew James
interception for a touch-
down, and converted the
2-point conversion for a
14-7 lead, Chiawana forced
a fumble on the ensu-
ing kickoff and returned
the ball to the Hermiston
1-yard line.
Vine plunged over the
goal line for the touch-
down and a 21-7 lead.
“That helped,” Graff
said of the two quick
scores.
“We’ve had that done to
us. I know what that feels
like.”
Navarrete kicked a
25-yard field goal with 40
seconds remaining in the
first half to pull the Bull-
dogs within 21-10.
The Riverhawks would
score twice in the second
half, while holding the
Bulldogs scoreless.
“I thought the kids bat-
tled hard,” Faaeteete said.
“A lot of the kids don’t
have the experience play-
ing in big games like this.”
James threw for 127
yards — 55 of them going
to Jordan Ramirez.
Ryan Arnold finished
with nine tackles, while
Cash Campbell and Cody
Thacker had quarterback
sacks, and Broc Remmer an
interception.

Pendleton’s Beau Skinner wraps up La Salle quarterback Ethan Edgerly in the Bucks’ 62-14 win against the Fal-
cons on Friday in Pendleton.
BUCKS: Sorey rushed for 111 yards and passed for 106
Continued from 1B
scored his third touchdown.
La Salle answered with a
31-yard rushing touchdown
from running back James
Menor.
With 34 seconds left in
the second quarter, Sorey
launched a 43-yard pass to
Yeager in the end zone to
give the Bucks a 48-14 half-
time lead.
Pendleton scored their
final two touchdowns in the
third quarter — a 15-yard
rush from Patterson, and a
rushing score from Yeager.
With the win, the Bucks
improved to 6-0 for the
season.
“Every win feels great,”
said coach Erik Davis. “This
was an opportunity to play a
quality team. The kids dom-
inated up front and didn’t
let the weather dictate them.
Trent took care of the foot-
ball, and our defense just
flies around.”
Sorey rushed for 111
yards, passed for 106, and
scored two touchdowns. Pat-
terson rushed for 92 yards
and four touchdowns. Yea-
ger scored three times, and
rushed for 112 yards.
“There weren’t a whole
lotta flaws tonight,” said
Sorey, who was crowned
homecoming king during
halftime. “I just want to
stay healthy with a full crew
going into playoffs. We’re
ready.”
Pendleton will push for
7-0 when they host Parkrose
(3-2, 3-1) on Thursday.
Beavers expect Cougars ready to run
By ANNE M. PETERSON
AP Sports Writer
Facing pass-happy Wash-
ington State on Saturday
means Oregon State’s har-
ried run defense might get a
break.
But the Beavers will still
have to deal with Gardner
Minshew.
The Cougars (4-1, 1-1
Pac-12) rushed for no net
yards — that’s zero — last
week against Utah. Instead,
Mike Leach’s team relied on
Minshew’s arm.
The graduate transfer
threw for 445 yards and
three touchdowns in the
28-24 victory over the Utes,
including an 89-yard touch-
down to Easop Winston in
the fourth quarter that essen-
tially won it for the Cougs.
Which is good and bad
news for the Beavers, whose
rushing defense is ranked
127th among FBS teams
(303.4 yards per game). But
they’re ranked 88th nation-
ally for pass defense, allow-
ing 240.2 yards a game.
Leach wasn’t concerned
about Washington State’s
one-dimensionality against
the Utes. He said lots of
players contributed and
that’s what he wants.
He scoffed at the idea that
teams need a 50-50 attack.

Washington State quarterback Gardner Minshew II
throws a pass while under pressure from Utah defen-
sive back Marquise Blair during the first half of an NCAA
college football game Sept. 29 in Pullman, Wash.
“That’s 50 percent stu-
pid,” Leach said. “There is
nothing clever about that.”
Coach Jonathan Smith
fully expects the Cougars to
run it more against the Bea-
vers. Oregon State (1-4, 0-1)
allowed Arizona State 396
rushing yards last weekend
in a 52-24 loss. Eno Benja-
min ran for a school-record
312 of those yards and was
named the Pac-12 Offensive
Player of the Week.
“They do have some
backs that can do some
things. And they throw the
ball to the backs — so there’s
some weapons there,” Smith
said.
But in all likelihood it’s
not the running backs the
Beavers will need to key in
on: It’s Minshew, who has
had five straight games with
at least 300 yards passing.
Minshew is the national
leader among quarterbacks
with averages of 398.4 yards
passing and 37 completions
per game. So far he’s thrown
for 14 TDs.
The Beavers pass-rush
could use some help, too,
Smith acknowledged.
“It’s a work in progress.
It’s not where we want it,”
the coach said. “We’ve had
some flashes of putting more
pressure on.”
Other things to know as
Oregon State hosts Wash-
ington State:
PIERCE BACK?: Ore-
gon State running back Arta-
vis Pierce was listed as prob-
able going into Saturday’s
game. That’s good for the
Beavers. Pierce broke out
for a pair of long TD runs in
the opener before an elbow
injury in the second week.
He’ll rejoin freshman Jer-
mar Jefferson, who leads the
Pac-12 with an average of
145.4 rushing yards a game.
But the Beaversw will
likely be without senior
quarterback Jake Luton,
who is still recovering from
a high ankle sprain.
FAMILIAR
FOE:
Leach is certainly not unfa-
miliar to Smith, who was an
assistant to Chris Petersen at
Washington before becom-
ing head coach at Oregon
State.
THAT
‘STACHE:
Leach thinks the attention
paid to Minshew’s mustache
is a bit overblown.
“The poor guy came in
with a mustache and all of
a sudden the mustache took
off,” Leach said.
He suggested that Cou-
gars mascot Butch might
want to sport a mustache.
