A16 Sports wallowa.com June 21, 2017 Wallowa County Chieftain Wallowa girls are key East all-stars By Steve Tool Wallowa County Chieftain Ellen Bishop for the Chieftain Saturday’s action began with the traditional grand parade. RODEO Continued from Page A1 Top fan favorite went to Ray Baird of Midvale, Idaho, who had one mount that bucked himself right off his feet and pinned Baird to the ground. Enterprise’s own George Koehlhepp, 46, came out on a rangy roan that gave him a heck of a ride and tossed him before the buzzer. Koehlhepp is famously cheerful win or lose but he’s also determined to win at his hometown event –– so you’ll see him next year, riding at age 47. The Dion Nozie Team of Alpine, Ariz., won the Roger Winn Memorial Wild Horse Racing award. The stock was exceptional this year and fans appreciated the return of Bonnie Eckley Rasmussen’s big black geld- ing, Nightmoves, drawn by Ray Baird. However, Nightmoves was not in the mood to be sweet this trip and fi rst tried to climb the chute before coming out to give Ray Baird a ride that earned him a 74 toward his fi nal 148.

Gassett and Bateman both received an offer to play in the East-West 3A Senior All-Star game in Corvallis. “I’d heard about it. I wasn’t totally expecting it, but I knew about it,” Gassett said. The two girls made the 400-mile trip with their parents for the June 4 doubleheader, which was played at Oregon State University’s Softball Complex. “It was pretty cool,” Gas- sett said. She said she was sur- prised that the fi eld featured natural grass rather than the carpeting she was expecting. Gassett played centerfi eld Despite the weather, which in Wallowa County changes hourly, Alpine Meadows golf- ers had a busy week.

Cindy Parks and Heather Bruce represented Alpine Meadows at Baker’s Ladies Invitational tournament June 7. Bruce, who is a six handi- capper, was expected to win all the prizes. She did score a 76, which is darn good in any- body’s book, but though she won her fl ight, Callie Goss of La Grande won the fi eld with 75. Laughingly, and with a good heart, Bruce related, “Although I had fi ve birdie holes, I also had one triple bogey, two double bogeys and one bogey.” Rochelle Danielson writes an occasional column during the golfi ng season.

Like Gassett before her, Bateman punched through a single, scoring the runner and sealing the win for the East. The two hits proved the highlight of the all-star experi- ence for both girls. “I thought we did pretty well,” Gassett said. Bateman also had an RBI in the second game in the East’s 6-3 losing effort. Both girls had 2 RBIs through the two games with Bateman going 2 for 6 at the plate while Gassett went 1 for 4 with a walk. Gassett plans to attend Eastern Oregon University in La Grande this fall to start on her quest for a nursing degree. She also plans to try out for the EOU softball team. Bateman plans to attend Brigham Young University in Rexburg, Idaho, in pursuit of an English degree with hopes of returning to the Wallowa Valley to teach.

Both girls were nervous before the game, as they knew they were facing some of the top players in the state. The opening game of the doubleheader proved that even rural ballplayers could com- pete against their more urban- ized opponents from Oregon’s west side. With the East down 12-10 in the sixth inning, Gassett strode to the plate with runners on second and third with two outs. Undeterred by the grav- ity of the situation, Gas- sett promptly lashed a base- hit between second and third, knocking in both runners to tie the game at 12. In the bottom of the seventh inning, with the game still tied at 12, Bateman came to the Public Notice
