OUTLAWS CROSS COUNTRY BURNS UP
PENDLETON COURSE AT DISTRICT MEET
By Steve Tool
Wallowa County Chieftain
T
he Outlaws girls cross
country team was
hoping to qualify for
the state meet heading
into Friday’s District 5 meet at
Pendleton.
Mission accomplished, and
then some.
The combined Wallowa
County squad put together a re-
sounding victory and gave coach
Dan Moody his first girls district
“
Every girl knew they had a job
to do, who they had to go after.”
Coach Moody
title in the process.
The girls finished with 34
points in the 5,000-meter race,
with powerhouse Union coming
in second at 57. Eight teams
participated, but only the top two
teams advance to the 3A/2A/1A
state meet Saturday at Lane
Community College in Eugene.
The Outlaws placed four
runners among the top 10 fin-
ishers: Isabelle Tingelstad was
second with a time of 20:07.2;
Eliza Irish (20:22.8) placed fifth;
Ellyse Tingelstad (20:53.4) was
sixth; and Dee Dee Duncan
(21:14.8) finished 10th. Both
Irish and Duncan posted personal
bests.
Among other Outlaws girls,
Karli Bedard (21:18.0) placed
11th, Reagan Bedard (22:05.4)
placed 17th and Elle Coughlan
(22:41.0) finished 24th. Karli Be-
dard and Coughlan both posted
season-best times.
All seven girls qualified for
individual competition at the
state meet, and Moody will
designate five runners for team
competition.

rolls in season
ender at Imbler
Wallowa County Chieftain
Enterprise’s
football
season came to an end Fri-
day afternoon with a 36-24
loss at Imbler.
As with most of the rest
of the season, the Outlaws
kept the score close — this
time with an effective pass-
ing game, despite losing
starting lineman Clint Nor-
ton to a dislocated knee in
the first quarter.
Senior quarterback Tate
Olson completed 19 of 25
passes for 189 yards and
tallied a 119.5 quarterback
rating on the day.
“I think it was the best
game of his whole high
school career,” said Enter-
prise coach Mike Rowley.
“He did a fabulous job out
there. He directed the kids
and they did great.”
Junior Trent Walker led
the receiving corps with
seven catches for 70 yards
and three touchdowns. Se-
nior Clayne Miller had six
receptions for 75 yards, and
junior Trent Sneed added
three catches for 21 yards.

Rowley said.

The Joseph volleyball
team took care of business
on its home court Wednesday
night with a 3-1 victory over
Ione in the opening round of
the Class 1A state tournament.
Senior Haven Johnson had
nine kills against the Cardi-
nals, while sophomore Emma
Hite had six kills and three
aces. Senior Johnelle Suto re-
corded a team-high 21 assists.
The Eagles (21-6) took the
first two games easily, 25-14
and 26-16.
The first game was close
until Hite took serve with
the Eagles leading 12-11 and
reeled off three aces in a string
of six straight Joseph points.
The pattern was repeated
in the second game when Hite
took serve at 13-13 and the
Eagles put together nine con-
secutive points — including
three on a pair of kills and a
block by Junior Alexis Syko-
ra.
The Cardinals (10-16)
opened an early 7-1 lead in
the third game and held on for
a 25-23 win.
“That’s something we’ve
been working on all season,”
said Joseph coach Jill Hite.
“It’s about mental focus. We
lose that and start to miss
some serves. We sometimes
lack that emotion. Then, once
we get it back, we get back
into things. They can hit a val-
ley, but you never can count
them out.
Joseph slammed the door
with a decisive 25-12 win
in the fourth that includ-
ed lengthy service strings
from Johnson, sophomore
Tori Suto and senior Taylor
Grote.
