COUGARS: Wallowa defeats Echo JOSEPH: Eagles
lose in heartbreaker
Continued from Page A10
Despite his team’s pro¿-
ciency in scoring, Wallowa
Coach Matt Brockamp noted
that the offense occasionally
mis¿red. “We missed some
opportunities that we’d like to
have back,” he said.
Still, the Cougars’ attack
was something far surpassing
chopped liver, totaling 588
yards, including 463 on the
ground and 125 by air.
On the other side of the
ball, meanwhile, Wallowa
was just plain tough. Line-
backer Patrick Ritthaler, a
sophomore, led the charge
with 8 unassisted tackles and
another 8 assists. “He played
phenomenally. I’m proud of
that kid,” Brockamp said.
A sobering moment for
all spectators, players and
coaches came in the third
quarter, when Klay Jenson,
Echo’s talented junior quar-
terback, went down with
what appeared would be a
season-ending injury to his
knee. “Our condolences to
him,” Brockamp said. He
added, “It de¿nitely changed
their season. He’s a heck of a
ball player.”
Now Wallowa is prepar-
ing for its second league
contest, scheduled Oct. 2 on
the road against Pine Eagle.
Brockamp calls the Spartans

Nose guard Ben Lopez was
also noted for the pressure he
put on the Powder Valley cen-
ter, which resulted in about a
dozen snaps rolling their way
to the PV quarterback. Rylie
Warnock was the team’s lead-
ing tackler with seven solo
tackles. Lopez and Caevan
Murphy bagged six tackles

plined football team.”
They scored 58 points in
defeating Elgin last week,
and last year nearly managed
to spoil Wallowa’s home-
coming.
Only by virtue of a
last-minute interception near
the end zone did the Cougars
preserve that win.

This past weekend, Joseph
struggled to get out of its
slump. Missing starter Haven
Johnson, who plays middle
and outside hitter, disrupted
the team¶s rhythm. Their ¿rst
match of the weekend was
against Powder High. Serv-
ing was stronger, and they
regained some strength to-
wards the end of the day, but
lost overall after four games
(10-25, 11-25, 25-17, 20-25).
Against Echo the follow-
ing day, Joseph played four
strong games, but lost in the
end to slightly tighter play
from their opponents (25-22,
21-25, 23-25, 22-25).
vs. Powder:
Satori Albee: 6 kills, 1
ace, 2 blocks, 12 digs. Emma

“We had the best-looking
car there for sure,” Hayes said.
Because the Hayes car looked
so pristine, it and another car
were chosen to drive memorial
laps before the race as a wom-
an spoke about breast cancer
awareness to the crowd.
Hayes Brothers racing team
¿nished the season in the top 10
during the 2015 Northwest Pro4
Alliance circuit. The team came
in 10th out of a ¿eld of 33 cars.
“We were pretty happy about
that because we had a DNF (did
not ¿nish) in Monroe (Wash.)
when the engine blew up on us,
and we missed the Hermiston
race because of that. We didn’t
get points for two races and we
still ¿nished high,” Hayes said.
The Hayes brothers plan to
race next year. “Now the fun
part of looking for sponsors
starts. We already have a fuel
sponsor,” Hayes said. He add-
ed that sponsors of the car get
a good deal because the Hayes
team takes their car to show
events outside of races, which
gives sponsors more exposure
for their money.
During the off-season, the
Hayes team will take the car
apart and put it back together
piece by piece. “We try to do a
little more each year to make the
car a little faster. We’ll be look-
ing good next year,” Hayes said.
Other members of the team
are James Hayes and Brian
Finch.
