was a great win for us. We
challenged the kids to come
out and finish the game
tonight, and they did that.”
As in their first meet-
ing this season, the Indians
took an early lead in the first
quarter. Senior quarterback
Jakob Kessi’s keeper put
Scappoose up 7-0 less than
three minutes into the game.
Pendleton senior quar-
terback Tanner Sweek con-
nected with senior wide
receiver Walker Camp to
answer back and tie the
score less than two minutes
later, but Kessi rushed the
ball to the 3-yard line with
2:32 left to play, and senior
running back Josh Rice
broke into the end zone on
the next play.
The Bucks were down
14-7 by the first buzzer.
“We knew they were
going to come out and come
out fast,” Pendleton junior
running back Zaanan Bane
said. “But we answered
back.”
Bane scored on a carry 32
seconds into the next quar-
ter, and senior kicker Jon
Lopez’s extra point knotted
the score for the second and
final time. Bane and Lopez
combined to give the Bucks
a 21-14 advantage with 6:30
left in the half.
Pendleton senior quar-
terback Cooper Roberts’
pass to Walker Camp with
0:48 seconds left fell incom-
plete, but a penalty on Scap-
poose pushed the Bucks to
the 6-yard line. The Indi-
ans’ defense held strong to
keep the Bucks out of the
end zone for the remainder
of the half.
“They’re a good foot-
ball team,” Davis said of
the Indians. “They came out
guns a blazin’, but we were
able to make some stops.”
Over six minutes and 30
seconds ticked away into
the third quarter before the
Bucks got going again. At
5:24, sophomore running
back Kyle Liscom scored
on a 1-yard carry, and with
1:41 remaining, senior wide
receiver Nat Hunsaker also
rushed for a touchdown. The
Indians, meanwhile, were
held out of the end zone for
the entire quarter.
The Indians managed
one more score five sec-
onds into the final quar-
ter, but Roberts and Camp
connected for a response
with 5:07 left to play to give
Pendleton a 20-point advan-
tage and solidify the win.
“We knew if we came
out hard in the second half
that they would break,”
Bane said.
While the Indians outran
the Bucks 156 yards to 105,
Pendleton dominated the air
with 237 passing yards to 68
for Scappoose. Camp fin-
ished with a team-high 131
receiving yards, and Sweek
threw for 153.
“I always say it’s hard
to beat a good team twice
in one season,” Davis said.
“I’m proud of the kids. This
was huge for us.”
The Bucks will host
next Friday’s playoff game
against an opponent to
be determined.

were flying around and
having fun.”
Braeden Staniszewski
kicked a 28-yard field goal
less than five minutes into
the third quarter to bring

It’s the first time since
Sept. 11, 2015, that Herm-

pass from Sam Schwirse.

test, had 111 yards on 15

high and that didn’t work,”
Cadenas said. “He’s a good
player.”
Defensively, the Bull-
dogs had a productive
night. Cadenas and Junior
Sepeni had quarterback
sacks. Cadenas also had
eight solo tackles and two
assists, while Trevor Wag-
ner had eight solo tackles,
and Koi Mikami five solo

us,” Heppner coach Greg
Grant said. “Stanfield has a
physical offensive line, and
we needed to see that. They
are a solid football team.”
The Mustangs (9-0 over-
all, 4-0 BMC) will have to
wait until Saturday to find
out who their first-round
opponent will be in the

effort all the way around,”
Grant said.
Enrique Arellano led the
Tigers (5-3, 2-2) with 100
yards rushing on 30 carries.
Stanfield had 129 yards of
offense for the game.
“They ran him a lot and

said. “As the game went
on, we did a better job
stepping up on the line of
scrimmage.”

up and coming.”

VALLEY 78, PILOT
ROCK/NIXYAAWII 24
— The Rockets were in the
game in the first half, trail-
ing 24-18 at one point, but
the second half was a dif-
ferent story.
The Antelopes went on
a scoring spree the final
two quarters, while hold-
ing the Rockets to just one
score in a Special District 3
crossover game at Eastern
Oregon University in La
Grande.
“They are something
else,” Pilot Rock coach
Mike Baleztena said of
Adrian/Jordan Valley. “Our
three freshmen in the sec-
ondary couldn’t keep up
with their guys. We hung
with them pretty good in
the first half.”
Tanner Corwin threw for
167 yards and three touch-
downs — two to Logan
Weinke.
Tyasin Burns was held
to 151 yards rushing and
one touchdown. He also
