Few in the stands — or likely on the team, even — anticipated quite how big the night would be for the Eagles (2-2, 1-0 league). Joseph vs. Wallowa, 5 p.m. The Joseph rushing trio of seniors Cayden DeLury and Logan Welch and sophomore Tyler Homan consistently broke off big chunks of yardage, particularly on sweeps and speed options to the outside, and racked up 347 yards on the ground in a dominant 44-20 win to open league play. The Cougars (1-3, 0-1) were at a decided disadvantage going in. Speedy sophomore quarterback Gus Ramsden watched the game Scot Heisel/Chieftain See JOSEPH, Page A16 Austin Brockamp found a lane and broke away for this 87-yard touchdown in the first quarter.

The Eagles (10-3, 3-1) kept momentum rolling with a 25-20, 25-13, 25-18 sweep in Wallowa on Friday. Senior Ally Cooney led the Eagles with 11 kills, while sophomore Emma Hite added nine kills. Cooney also led her team in serving aces, while Hite and junior Alexis Sykora led in solo blocks. All three sets went back and forth, with neither team putting together lengthy runs. One exception came in Game 3, when Cooney opened with three consecutive aces to help Joseph build an early lead. That lead held, though the Cougars (1-12, 1-3) threatened to steal the third game with a late rally behind a string of service points from sophomore Riley Ferre’. In the end, the Eagles were just too much for Wallowa. “They started working back into the match by the third game and put up a good fight,” said Wallowa Coach Janea Hulse. “Beth Johnston stepped up as a team captain. I was very happy with her at- titude and support of her team- mates.” 2004 CHEVY COLORADO Z71 By Scot Heisel Wallowa County Chieftain Scot Heisel/Chieftain Joseph’s Emma Hite (6) rises for a shot in front of teammate Tori Suto (5) as Wallowa’s Jamie Johnston prepares to Johnston, a senior, finished with 16 digs and three blocks for the day. Meanwhile, fresh- man Ashlyn Young had 14 digs and 10 assists for Wallowa. “I am so proud of her,” Hulse said of Young. “Her coachable attitude is serving her well. She has taken everything that she has been told and is working daily at improving her game.” The Eagles recently wrapped up a whirlwind pre- season that included road trips through Portland and Prai- rie City and matches against some tough opponents Joseph doesn’t normally face. “We designed it that way,” said Joseph Coach Jill Hite. “We wanted to have a tough preseason for this group, and we’re seeing it pay off.” The Eagles have just three losses on the season and cur- rently are ranked No. 3 by OSAA among the state’s 1A teams. 2011 CHEVY EQUINOX LT See SWEEPS, Page A16 On paper, it was a rough couple of days for Outlaws volleyball. Though, you wouldn’t know it talking to first- year coach Shiann Micka. “My team played well,” Micka said after Enterprise was swept by league power Grant Union at home on Saturday. “We played with them today and we should have won a couple of games.” Indeed, the Outlaws (5-9, 0-2) had opportuni- ties to win both of the first two games, but ultimately fell 25-21, 25-16, 25-10 to the Prospectors (16-3, 2-0). Power-hitting junior Mariah Moulton led the Grant Union attack, pep- pering the Outlaws with hard shots and kills. “They were fired up,” Micka said. “They were digging all of those hits. They were getting blocks. They were doing every- 2008 FORD FOCUS SE thing they needed to do. It’s just that we made little errors.” Junior Riley Gray led Enterprise with five kills, eight digs and five blocks. Senior Tiffanie George also had eight digs, while sophomore Shelby Mon- crief added seven digs. Senior Gwen Jensen led the way with seven assists. “They’re understand- ing where they need to be on the court and what their roles are,” Micka said. On Friday, Enterprise was swept on the road at Union, 25-18, 25-23, 25- 11. The Bobcats (10-4, 1-1) currently are ranked No. 15 by the OSAA. Grant Union is No. 3. Up next for the Outlaws: a road trip to No. 1 Imbler (19-1, 2-0) on Tuesday (The Chieftain went to press before the match was played; check wal- lowa.com for results). The Outlaws return home Friday for a Wapiti League match against El- gin (2-6, 0-2).
