before losing to Atlanta.
While the stakes weren’t
the same, the intensity
between the two long rivals
was evident and erupted after
the fi nal whistle with sev-
eral scrums, plenty of push-
ing and shoving and play-
ers needing to be separated.
Seattle’s Roman Torres and
Portland goalkeeper Steve
Clark were at the center of the
activity, but plenty of others
were involved.
“When you get taunted by
some of their players toward
the end of the game, that’s a
rivalry,” said Seattle goal-
keeper Stefan Frei, who was
trying to separate others
after the game. “Maybe get-
ting feisty after the referee
blows the whistle and peo-
ple go after each other, we
just need to remember those
moments when we play them
next time.”
Fernandez scored his sev-
enth and eighth goals of the
season in just his second
full month with the Timbers
after being signed as a desig-
nated player from Necaxa in
Mexico.
Fernandez gave Portland
the early lead when he col-
lected the ricochet from Jorge
Moreira’s shot off the cross-
bar and scored in the 20th
minute, fi nishing into an
open net. After Seattle’s Raul
Ruidiaz scored in the 50th
minute to pull the Sounders
even, Fernandez answered
seconds later when his one-
time shot defl ected off Frei
and trickled into the goal.
SEATTLE — The Seat-
tle Seahawks will be with-
out defensive lineman Jarran
Reed for the fi rst six games of
the season after he was sus-
pended by the NFL on Mon-
day for violating the league’s
personal conduct policy.
Reed may participate
in preseason practices and
games, but will not be avail-
able to the Seahawks until
Oct. 14.
The suspension stems
from an incident in April
2017. He was being inves-
tigated for assaulting a
woman, who then fi led an
assault complaint. But Reed
was not charged.
Reed posted a statement
on social media saying he
strongly disagreed with the
discipline imposed by the
NFL.
“I apologize to those close
to me including my family,
the entire Seattle Seahawks
organization and fans of the
team for putting myself in a
position where I could be dis-
ciplined by the NFL,” Reed
posted. “While I totally dis-
agree with the decision of the
NFL, I still must accept it and
take responsibility for the sit-
uation. I have learned from
this and will do everything I
can to make my friends, fam-
ily, teammates, fans and the
Seahawks proud of me mov-
ing forward.”
The suspension is a
major blow for Seattle’s
already questionable defen-
sive line heading into the
season. It also comes with
Reed heading into the fi nal
year of his rookie contract
and one of the major con-
tract decisions the Sea-
hawks will need to make.
After linebacker Bobby
Wagner, Reed is next in
line among the signifi cant
contract situations facing
Seattle.
The 26-year-old is com-
ing off the best year of his
career and was expected to
be the leader of the defen-
sive line after Seattle traded
Frank Clark to Kansas
City. Reed had 10½ sacks
and 50 tackles last season,
both career highs. The 10½
sacks were the third most
among defensive tackles in
the NFL last season.
Reed was a sec-
ond-round draft pick from
Alabama in 2016.

Ruby, Sorey turned in a
time of 9.38 seconds on his
fi rst run Wednesday, then
had a 9.93 on his second

“She was outstanding,”
Sorey said of his horse. “I
could not have asked for
any better.”
Sorey also competed in
team roping with Brady
White from Burns, but the
duo did not fare well.
“We did not do well at
all,” Sorey said. “Our fi rst
steer was not very good
— not good for the heeler
(White). The second one,
we tried to go too fast and
it didn’t work out.”
Sorey will attend Weath-
erford College, Weather-
ford, Texas, where he will
major in agri-business. He
leaves Aug. 12.
Until then, he will con-
tinue to compete. He will
be in the rodeo arena

NFL suspends Seahawks DL Reed
Fernandez scores twice as
Timbers outlast Sounders
SEATTLE — Brian Fer-
nandez only arrived in Port-
land a couple of months
ago. He’s quickly become a
despised fi gure in Seattle.
Fernandez scored his sec-
ond goal of the match in the
51st minute, moments after
Seattle had pulled even, and
the Portland Timbers beat
the Sounders 2-1 on Sunday
night in the fi rst MLS clash of
the season between the Cas-
cadia rivals.
For Fernandez, it was his
third and fourth goals against
Seattle this season. He scored
twice against the Sounders
when the sides met in a U.S.
Open Cup match last month.
But what he did on Sun-
day — before a crowd of
more than 50,000 — had a
bigger impact.
“To come to a stadium,
especially in a big rivalry
derby like this, and be able
to score and be able to quiet
people and not have people
talk to you during the match
it’s beautiful,” Fernandez said
through an interpreter. “It’s
part of the game. I don’t mean
to be condescending. I don’t
mean to be arrogant about it.
It’s just one of those beautiful
things about football.”
It was the fi rst league
matchup between the rivals
since last year’s Western
Conference semifi nals, when
Portland advanced from
the two-leg series after an
exhausting, exhilarating sec-
ond-leg that eventually went
to penalties before the Tim-
bers moved on. Portland
reached the MLS Cup fi nal

Down would return to defeat
them again, keeping them
from playing for the champi-
onship, which would eventu-
ally go to the Killer Threes.
Winners of each divi-
sion were awarded “Cham-
pion” T-shirts, and winners
in the Men’s Open and 6 Feet
and Under categories also
received Nike backpacks.
in the fourth led to runs for
Lake Oswego, which then
scored 11 runs over the
fi nal two innings.
“About
the
fourth
inning, a couple of errors
happened and they put
their heads down,” Sim-
mons said of his team.
Ryder Wilson took the
loss for Hermiston on the
mound. He allowed three
hits and three runs over 3⅓
innings of work.
“Ryder kept us in the
game,” Simmons said.
“They just kept chipping
away at us and we kind of
fell apart.”
At the plate, Philippi
had two of Hermiston’s
four hits.
Merik Adler pitched 3⅔
innings for Lake Oswego,
striking out eight and
walking none.
Alex Trojan hit a pair of
doubles for Lake Oswego,
while Chase Kelly and
Sawyer Best each drove in
three runs.
