Wallowa stepping up its passing game By Paul Wahl Wallowa County Chieftain Wallowa Varsity Football team con- tinued its domination on the field in a rare Saturday game Sept. 29, although Falls City/Kings Valley Charter proved to be the closest thing to a real challenge for the team this season. Wallowa beat the Mountaineers 54-18. Gus Ramsden was a standout on both offense and defense for the Cougars. At quarterback, Ramsden has been working to improve his passing game. It may be working. He completed five of seven attempts for 102 yards and added 95 yards rush- ing. Defensively, he led the team in tack- les with seven and nine assists. Austin Brockamp had 143 yards rush- ing and 15 yards receiving, with his name on two of the Wallowa touchdowns. Gus Ramsden’s brother Zeb was the lead- ing receiver, hauling in 57 yards on one pass play alone. Tristin Bales caught four passes for 38 yards and Freddy DeVore caught one for eight yards. Mason Moore was also atop of the defensive stats with seven tackles and five assists. Brockamp added six tack- les and six assists, Zeb Ramdsen five and Paul Wahl/Chieftain Cougar Tristin Bales scampers for yardage in Saturday afternoon’s game af- ter catching a Gus Ramsden pass. five and Wyatt Prince four and six. Jesse Duncan led the team in assists with 11 and Joe Robb had six assists. Wallowa scored in the early going of the game and Falls City/Kings Val- ley Charter answered with a touchdown of its own. Wallowa scored the next three touchdowns, leading 30-6 at halftime. Wallowa moves to 4-1 for the season, it’s only defeat the opening game against St. Paul.

Time for golfing outings in perfect fall weather T he golf course is winding down its season. Saturday, Oct. 13, will be the last day golfers can walk into the clubhouse, sign in and be greeted by Alpine’s cheerful man- ager Cheryl Kooch. The closing means that the club- house won’t be available as a place to meet with friends, enjoy a cup of coffee, and discuss Wallowa Coun- ty’s news of the day before heading out to play 9 or 18 holes of golf. The building will take on that lonely vacant wintry look, and the Rochelle Danielson fairways and greens will look like the guy who hasn’t shaved in a while ... kind of raggedy. Closing doesn’t mean golfers won’t be able to play. The course itself will be open to the public until the trees are bare and fallen leaves or blinding snow flurries bury your golf ball. So far, into the end of Septem- ber’s summer and fall’s beginning, temperatures have proved to be great for Alpine Meadows golfers. Early morning frost has kept eager-bea- vers from heading out early, but late-morning into later afternoons has been perfect weather for short sleeves and shorts. A club championship contest held Sept. 16, brought out several golfers in the men’s competition. You are invited to take part in an interview (in person or by phone) .
