Guerrero:
Continued from Page A8
Hermiston coach Jacob
Arnold feels Guerrero will be
a good addition to the Adams
State program because of the
work ethic he has shown at
Hermiston.
“He’s the kid, when he
steps on the fi eld, he helps
both ends of the field,”
Arnold said. “He directs
traffic. He brings every-
one else up around him. He
stern commands it. He was a huge
ts per part in running our winter
AIA workouts and making sure
rican kids were showing up. He’s
a big vocal leader. Commu-
ldez) nication is a big part of our
daho success.”
h my Guerrero, a 5-foot-7,
fort- 165-pound attacker, has
o we 22 goals, 10 assists and 12
hink ground balls in the Bulldogs’
fi rst seven games this season.
e A9 “He is one of the leaders
on the field,” Arnold said.
“He has kind of always been
that way. The first couple
of games as a freshman he
didn’t say a whole lot, then he
was seeing things on fi eld and
started saying things.”
While Guerrero is one of
the team’s top scorers, it’s his
other attributes on the fi eld
that make him so important.
“He directs traffic out
there,” Arnold said. “He and
Vinny (Trevino) and Carson
(Bradshaw) work so well
together. They work so well
with the younger guys, and
that allows them to contribute
as well. He is the true mean-
ing of a senior leader. He’s
going to leave everything on
the fi eld.”
The Bulldogs are off to
a 6-1 start, which has not
surprised Guerrero.
“We knew we would have
a really good team this year,”
he said. “From the beginning,
our coach said he expected us
to win our conference and go
to state. We set the bar high
and we are held to that level
by our coaches.”
Guerrero, who plans to
major in business admin-
istration, is getting a head
start with an internship at
Umatilla Electric Coopera-
tive in Hermiston through a
class at the high school.
“I’m with HR (human
resources), but I do a lot of
paperwork, make spread-
sheets, fi ling, whatever they
need me to do,” he said.
Guerrero is the second
Hermiston lacrosse player
to sign a letter of intent to
play at the college level this
year. Trevino is headed to
Newberry College. Brad-
shaw also has his sights
set on college, but has not
announced his decision.
“We have had a couple of
other kids who signed to play
in college, but with COVID
they are no longer there and
they didn’t play,” Arnold said.
“This is the fi rst time we have
had multiple players in one
year go on to play.”

we’ll be able to play together
pretty well.”
For Kemp, recruiting
Taylor was one of his top
priorities this off season.
“I hope he can be one
of those leaders, especially
with the experience he has,”
Kemp said of Taylor. “Just
being in that Division I
program and the experience
he has with some of the lead-
ers on our team, we hope to
get him rolling right away
and have that seamless tran-
sition.”
Taylor stated the idea
of playing with his former
teammates played a part in
his selection process, know-
ing he, Valdez and Malatare
were able to build good
chemistry on the court in
the two seasons they played
together. He also noted the
three were roommates at
Northern Idaho, helping
build a solid connection on
and off the court.
“I think it will be a pretty
smooth transition,” Taylor
said. “I think it will be just
going back to what worked
for the three of us at NIC.”
Humble beginnings have
helped shape the player and
individual Taylor is today.
He is Yakama/Nez Perce
from Lapwai, Idaho — the
school’s enrollment is just
more than 100 students.

Emmit Taylor III shoots from the top of the key for Idaho State University during the 2021-
22 season. The graduate transfer is set to transfer to Eastern Oregon University next fall,
joining former North Idaho College teammates Phillip Malatare and Ismael Valdez with the
Mountaineers.
Coming from a small town to
playing Division I basketball,
Taylor has taken life lessons
at each stop along the way.
“Everywhere I’ve gone,
I’ve learned something
important,” he said. “Coming
from a small town, it’s easy
to not get looked at.”
Taylor said as one of
the fi rst-ever athletes from
Lapwai to compete at the
Division I level, he takes
pride in being able to repre-
sent his community.
“I think my town will take
a lot of the credit for getting
me to where I am, since it
was a big part of growing
in which the team went
12-10 in conference play
and was eliminated in the
quarterfi nals of the Cascade
Collegiate Conference tour-
nament. Entering his first
season as a Mountaineer and
last year of collegiate eligi-
bility, Taylor is setting the
bar high for next season.
“I definitely want to
win a conference title and
try to be as highly ranked
as we can,” Taylor said. “I
think we’re capable of being
ranked highly. We have a
great chemistry and balance
of players, so I think it will
work out really well.”
up,” Taylor said. “We’re a
big, tight-knit community so
it’s pretty cool.”
Kemp and Taylor both
said the guard will look to
have a leadership role in
addition to his shooting
prowess, an opportunity
that was often not as easily
achieved on previous teams.
“He wanted me to take a
bigger role, and I also wanted
to take a bigger role,” Taylor
said. “I’ve always been more
of a role player, so I want to
take that leadership role and
I think I’m capable of that.”
The Mountaineers are
coming off an 18-13 season
