SPORTS East Oregonian B2 Wednesday, June 5, 2019 Lockett takes charge of Seahawks receivers By TIM BOOTH Associated Press RENTON, Wash. — Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett was already going to face height- ened expectations coming off a breakout season during which he became Russell Wilson’s favorite target. Then Doug Baldwin was released — likely headed toward retirement — and Lockett was left with a new role. “His presence, that’s the biggest thing that is going to be missed,” Lockett said Tuesday. “It’s kind of hard when you’ve always had a vet to be able to teach you the ropes, allow you to be able to learn the ins and outs on the field and off the field, and how to carry yourself in the type of world we live in. Different stuff like that. Not to have that every single day is going to be hard. It’s very hard to transition, but each and every day and each and every year something new happens.” And then Lockett added, “It’s time for me to step up and fulfill the role I’m called to be in this year.” Replacing its most con- sistent and productive wide receiver from the past half- dozen years is one of the major challenges Seattle will face going into training camp and the start of the season. Baldwin led Seattle in catches in four straight seasons from 2014-17 before Lockett had a career-high 57 receptions and 10 touchdowns last season to lead the Seahawks. Baldwin dealt with injuries most of the year, but still finished with 50 catches in the regular season. Seattle did its part in the draft by taking three wide receivers — highlighted by the selection of DK Metcalf — to try to fill some of the void left by Baldwin’s depar- ture. But those new faces will be looking to Lockett as the most experienced pass catcher in Seattle’s locker room. “I think it happens natu- rally. They watch the way he works. He doesn’t have to say much just because of the way he works,” offensive coordi- nator Brian Schottenheimer said. Lockett showed last sea- son that he was fully recov- ered from the broken leg he suffered late in the 2016 season, an injury that still affected him in 2017. His 57 receptions came on just 70 targets. His catch percent- age of 81.4% was among the highest in the league for wide receivers. But Lockett was able to get open as much as he did in part because Bald- win was on the field, even in AP Photo/Ted S.

The attention paid to Baldwin helped Lockett thrive. The loss of Baldwin may allow Seattle to move Lock- Finals: Kevin Durant out for Game 3 of NBA Finals Continued from Page B1 tendon. RAPTORS SHOOTING Toronto went just 35 for 94 (37.2 in Game 2, com- pared to 50.6% while win- ning the series opener, including 11 of 38 from 3-point range. The Raptors’ missed shots and defensive stops are exactly what the Warriors count on to get out into their push-the-pace transition game. “It’s always a game of rhythm a little bit and you have to watch what’s hap- pening. As you know, we talk a lot about our shot spectrum, the shots we’re trying to get,” Nurse said. “We have to get a certain amount of paint touches. We have to get the ball side to side. Those are things you just have to keep an eye on. I think we just had some lulls in those three areas in Game 2.” The Raptors were out- scored 18-0 to start the third — “the quarter from hell” as Nurse called it — and that all but did them in before a late rally that fell short. GOLDEN DEPTH Kerr prepares his role players all season to be ready for moments on the big stage — because Kerr was one of the backups in his day. At home, Quinn Cook, who scored nine points with three 3-pointers in the fourth quarter, regu- larly resumes his shooting routine moments after the final buzzer sounds. With all the injuries, all the Warriors must be ready to contribute. “The way that we play, everybody feels involved on both ends of the floor and has an opportunity to impact the game, not necessarily scor- ing every possession but just playing within the flow and sharing the ball, mov- ing, playing unselfishly,” Stephen Curry said. “Just a style where everybody is going to get touches and you just have to be confident and aggressive. So again, day to day it’s just whoever is healthy. Be ready to go, compete, have fun doing it. Whoever is out there on the floor, just feel like you can help us win the game.” MCC Softball: Dawgs place 6 on all-conference team Continued from Page B1 only struck out nine times in 80 at-bats. Defensively, she had two errors. In the circle, Noland pitched 88 innings and posted a 10-5 record. She had a 4.057 ERA and struck out 56. Studer, just a sophomore, hit .362 with 10 doubles and 22 RBIs. Maddox, a junior, had a .375 batting average, with two home runs, 14 RBIs and 14 runs scored. A junior, Cameron led the team with 31 runs scored and 12 hit-by-pitch free passes to first base. She hit .393 with 16 RBIs and five doubles. Atilano, a junior, hit .324 with 10 RBIs and 17 runs scored. Defensively, she had one error. Chiawana senior Annal- isa McKinney was named Player of the Year, while Richland’s Casey Emery was named Coach of the Year after leading the Bombers to a 16-0 regular-season record. ett around the field more than in the past, including oppor- tunities to work as a slot receiver and see if that could be another area where Lock- ett can exploit defenses. Or, as Schottenheimer described, “The best weapon for us is when they don’t know where Tyler will be.” “For me it’s all about just being able to further my game wherever I’m at,” Lockett said. “Wherever I’m at, it’s all about trying to get open or get other people open. And that’s what it’s all about.” Summer camps at HHS East Oregonian Hermiston High School is offering a variety of youth sports camps this summer, including football, basket- ball, soccer, cross-country and tennis.
