Page 2B SPORTS East Oregonian Tuesday, October 23, 2018 Prep roundup Irrigon volleyball clinches first trip to state tourney The Irrigon Knights qual- ified for state volleyball for the first time in school his- tory Saturday, Oct. 20 plac- ing second at the Eastern Oregon League district tour- nament in Burns. “We played like we have never played before, and it paid off,” Knights coach Vanessa Pacheco said. “It was not easy, but we played with heart and as a team for the win.” Irrigon, the No. 3 seed, opened the day with a 23-25, 20-25, 25-23, 25-15, 15-13 victory over No. 2 seed Vale. “It was fun to watch everything come together for us today,” Pacheco said. “We adjusted fast to Vale’s hitters and were able to make plays of our own.” After beating the Vikings, the Knights took on Burns in the championship match, but the Hilanders proved to be a worthy opponent, taking the match and the district title 25-18, 25-18, 25-22. On the day, Haley White FAREWELL: Season of rebuilding had 21 kills, Alyssa Luna 8 kills, Emma Mueller 34 assists and Makenna Collins 25 digs. Old Oregon League Helix fought a hard battle against Imbler in Saturday’s Old Oregon League tourna- ment in La Grande, but ulti- mately lost in five sets. The Grizzlies dropped the first two sets 25-15 and 25-13, but experienced a revival to claim the next two, 25-14 and 27-25. A close 15-11 fifth set sealed Krol was awarded the 2nd Team All-Conference for Helix at the end of the tournament. The tournament closed out the Grizzlies’ season. They finished with an 8-15 overall record and 5-7 for the 1A-7 Old Oregon League. Boys Soccer NYSSA 4, RIVERSIDE 0 — After a seven-game winning streak, including last week’s 15-0 Four Riv- ers shutout, Riverside finally met their match on Saturday when they traveled to Nyssa. The Pirates (9-3-1, 6-1) have one more game left in league play: Irrigon (1-11, 1-6) at home on Friday. Girls Soccer RIVERSIDE 4, NYSSA 0 — The Pirates are now rid- ing three consecutive shut- outs into this week’s sea- son-closer after hosting Nyssa on Saturday. Riverside (7-2-3, 4-0-1) will finish things off when they travel to Irrigon (0-9-1, 0-5) on Friday. Weston-McEwen places two on BMC first team Hailey Weaver named to the second team, along with senior Jacee Currin of Heppner. Also on the second team were Grant Union’s Sydney Brockway and Taylor Allen, and Union’s Kay- lin Nowak and Callie Glenn. Honorable mention honors went to W-M’s Tyree Burke, Heppner’s Jenna McCullough and Nicole Propheter, Shelby Moncrief of Enterprise, Kendra Hart of Stanfield, Autumn Dag- gett of Union, and Grace Aus- tin, Brooke Howland and Bri- elle Howland of Pilot Rock. Old Oregon League Senior Megan Bingham of By ANNIE FOWLER East Oregonian Continued from 1B Nirschl said. “We play with heart and fight through every loss.” Garton says that the move to a new league this year — the 5A-4 Intermountain Confer- ence — has put the Bucks through a season of building and learning. “Crook County, Ridgeview, Hood River — they’re all top 10 in the state. They’re tough teams,” she said. “But we’re more unified and closer as a group,” added Elisabeth House, 17, who also serves as a team captain. And after the final buzzer sounds Tuesday night, the four captains will say goodbye to Pendleton volleyball as their careers in high school athletics nears an end. But it’s not over just yet. McGlothan, Nirschl, and Garton will hit the diamond for their farewell season for Bucks softball in the hopes of defending last year’s state title. Nirschl will also take to the courts for varsity basketball; and House will compete on Pendle- ton’s varsity track and swimming teams. After graduation, they’ll go their separate ways. McGlothan wants to be a nurse prac- titioner, while Nirschl wants to be a pediat- ric nurse. Garton aspires to be a high school teacher, and House will attend Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, to study medicine. “It’ll be weird not seeing each other every day,” McGlothan said, “but we’ll hang out during breaks.” But before they look too far ahead, they still have one more obstacle to overcome: Crook County. “They’re good, but they’re beatable,” House said of their Tuesday night opponent. “We can compete with them. I just want to have fun at our last game.” Imbler’s victory. “We came out of the ashes to make this a match,” said Helix coach Daniel Headley. “A lot of teams would have packed it in, but we came out of the time-out and started executing our game plan.” Arianna Krol, Kyleen Stahancyk and Annie Wood were “perfect on the service line” with a combined 54 attempts for the night. Wood also recorded 36 digs, and Margaret Case put in a sea- son-best 10 digs. Grant Union dominated the Blue Mountain Conference all-league team, taking four of seven spots when the team was announced Saturday. Seniors Hailie Wright, Kaylee Wright, Triniity Hutchi- son and Alcie Moore high- lighted the first team, which also included Heppner soph- omore Sydney Wilson, and Weston-McEwen senior Bryce Thul and junior Emma Olson. The TigerScots had sopho- more Jesse Manning and senior Imbler. Second Team 1.

It makes it better when you have to earn it.” W-M coach Shawn White was pleased with how his team competed. “They are good, and we are getting closer,” he said. “In the third, we couldn’t quite get there. This is good experience for us. They are the defending state champs and one of the best teams in the state. The girls played well.” Alcie Moore added 13 assists for Grant Union, while Triniity Hutchison had five kills and Syd- ney Brockway seven digs, four kills and three assists. W-M opened the day with a 25-23, 25-17, 25-21 win over Heppner to reach the title game. Continued from 1B pounding down three kills in a row for a 23-16 lead. Down two sets, the TigerScots were far from done. The teams exchanged points from the start, with W-M twice leading by two points — 15-13 and 16-14. The TigerScots led 20-19, but four unforced errors down the stretch, including a net serve on match point, helped Grant Union seal the win. There were 18 ties in the third set, and despite never taking the lead for good until 24-23, the Prospectors never wavered. “They did not let their emo- tions get the best of them,” Abrego said. “Weston-McEwen “Every day is a war,” White said. “On the flip side, it does prepare you to play against other teams. There is a lot of depth in the state, and we won’t be as big as some of the teams we will play, but the four of us will get after it.” On the day, Bryce Thul had 17 kills, 30 assists and 21 digs for the TigerScots, while Jesse Manning had 44 digs and 10 kills, Emma Olson 30 digs, Hailey Weaver 24 kills and eight blocks, Keree Graves 25 digs, and Ellie Scheib- ner 14 digs, 14 assists and four blocks. Tyree Burke, who injured her ankle Tuesday and tweaked it again Saturday, finished with nine blocks. In the loss to W-M, Sydney Wilson had 10 kills and 12 digs for the Mustangs (16-12), while Jacee Currin had 19 digs and six kills, and Genevieve Smith 11 assists. “I’m extremely happy,” Mus- tangs coach Mindy Wilson said. “They never gave up. They have grown as a team and that will help us in the next round.” After the loss to W-M, Hep- pner beat Union 24-26, 25-15, 27-25, 25-11 in the third-place match. It is the first time in three meetings that the match did not go five sets. Union (13-10) beat Pilot Rock 18-25, 25-22, 25-19, 25-20 in a loser-out match to advance to play Heppner.
