STANFIELD — Mazie
Reeser is well known for
playing volleyball and
basketball at Stanfi eld High
School, but the 5-foot-11
freshman is also a beast in
the weight room.
Reeser won the 130-pound
freshman-sophomore divi-
sion with a combined weight
of 370 pounds between
bench press, squats and
hang cleans on Saturday,
March 12, at the Iron Tiger
Weightlifting Competition.
“This is the fi rst time we
have had one,” Stanfield
weightlifting coach Travis
Reeser said. “Hopefully the
fi rst of many to come.”
Stanfield won all four
divisions by a landslide.
The Tigers had nearly 50
students competing, while
Hermiston was next with
12. Also bringing lifters to
the meet were Scappoose,
Amity, Spray, Joseph, The
Dalles and Southridge.
“A lot of times, schools
only bring their absolute
best,” Reeser said. “I want
them to bring everyone.”
The Tigers had foot-
ball, basketball, volleyball
and track athletes compet-
ing, along with others who
do not participate in main-
stream sports.
Hobs Hu r t y, who
competes in football,
basketball and track
for the Tigers, won the
148-pound weight class in
the junior-senior division
with a total of 675 pounds.
“A lot of people see
these kids on the court or
the fi eld, but they don’t see
the effort they put in the
weight room,” Reeser said.
“We have kids who don’t
play sports who come into
the weight room and excel
and get to showcase their
talents.”

NEW ADVENTURES
Pendleton youth
hockey team will
play 2 games in
Washington

ENDLETON — A shinny on the
pond with your friends is a lot of
fun, but every now and again it’s
good to mix things up.
The Pendleton Rough Riders 10U
hockey team, which plays on the small
P
sheet of ice in Roy Raley Park in Pend-
leton roughly two-and-a-half months out
of the year, will get a chance to play in
an indoor rink, and against players other
than teammates for the fi rst time in eight
years.
The Rough Riders have been invited
to play Saturday, March 19, against two
teams in Kent, Washington. The games
will be played at the Kent Valley Ice
Center.
“This is their Stanley Cup,” Rough
Riders coach Silas Kelty said. “I don’t
know the last time we played someone
outside of our own little teams. I have
been here three years and we have just
scrimmaged ourselves. It was that way
before I got here.”
The games came out of family
connections between some of the Rough
Riders and members of the teams from
Kent.
“Some of their players and our play-
ers are related,” Kelty said. “They said it
would be fun if we could play each other
sometime. They invited us to come up.
We are excited to go up there and play.”
Ryan Farber, 10, has been playing
with the Rough Riders since he was 5
years old. He said he is looking forward
to playing in Kent.
“It’s pretty exciting,” the McKay
