T ' 1 1 40 Xn 1 Warm Springs Raiders, third and fourth graders practice flag football for a September 26, game. Burns Hilanders run past Buffaloes 40-6 Football as I Sees um In the opening non-league game at Burns, it was the sophomore running back Cam Vibbert who crossed into pay dirt for the lone TD to save the Buffs from being shut out. With the PAT no good the Buffs had to settle for 6 points. ' The Burns Hilanders made it clear that they were on their home turf and was not about to lose the game as the No ' 8 ranked hilanders thrashed the Buffs 40-6, Friday September 11, 1998. The Burns running back Toby Walker must have set a personal record . for total yardage during the game as he . went wild. The sound system sounded ' like a broken record calling Walkers name on almost every play and they were usually big gainers. If .that was bad to pour salt into the wound he ran for four touchdowns for the Hilanders.. When Walker got just a little daylight he was gone for several yards at a time. He had a 79 yard run for one of his TD's, as he darted this way and that way until he was out in the open and away he would go- The final score was 40-6, in favor of the Hilanders which sounds like a lopsided game. The Buffaloes could have been right in the thick of things if they didn't mess up on four of their drives right into Hilander territory only to fumble the ball and lose each one to the Hilanders inside the ten yard line. ..There wasjio question they could move the ball against the Hilanders as they did. For the opening game of the year the Buffs showed some potential that they too are capable of going a long way once they get settled down and get heir act together. There were some fine play in the line for the Buffs which will show results in the future. It was just a night for the 9th ranked Burns Hilanders who are a threat in the GOL league. The Madras White Buffaloes have a couple or so more non-league games before they settle down to the Tri Valley league foes. The next outing for the buffs will be against highly rated Sisters Outlaws, September 18, 1998, on the Madras Grid Iron. No. 2 Ranked Sisters gets scare from Buffs The Madras White Buffaloes open the season with a non-League football game with the Burns Hilanders over at Burns, September 11,1 998, game time was 7:30 p.m.ln the picture shows Quarterback Jake Jaca, set to call the play at which they fumbled the ball losing it to he Hilanders inside the 10 yard line. The Buffs fumbled the ball about four times right near the goal lline stopping their drive to the end Zone. The score might have been a little different if they didnl lose the ball. The final score was Burns 40, Buffs 6. Registration for St Pat's Cowdeo will open September 28 at 9 a.m. Kids ages 5-14 are eligible Registration will close October 5 or earlier if events fill Call Kathryn Bain at 546-2130 for info Cowdeo will be held October 17 and 18 at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds The hi ehlv rated No. 2 ranked Sisters Outlaws were on shaky ground in the fourth quarter trailing the un-rated Madras white Buffalo team 20-19. It appeared everything was in the Madras Buffaloes favor until they let down a little and maybe relaxed a little too much and David Martin, the Sisters running back ran in from 33 yards out midway through the fourth quarter to put the Outlaws ahead for good. The power was there in the first half and it looked like it might be a blow-out as the Outlaws were ahead 19-0 at half time. In the second half the Buffs came out all fired up in the third quarter taking it right to the No 2 ranked Sisters Outlaws. The Buffs scored on a pass from Jaca to Colten Barnes. The kick was good and the scoreboard lit up Sisters 19, Madras 7. A short time later Keller Christensen crossed the goal line from three yards out and again the PAT was good the give the Buffs a closer margin on the Outlaws. After a series of plays Jaca intercepted a Sisters pass and ran it in from 20 yards out this time the kick went wide but the B uffs forged ahead 20-19. It appeared things were gong in favor for the Buffs intil late in the fourth quarter when David Martin the Sisters running back got some good blocking and he ran for about 33 yards to the end zone to put Sisters in front for good. Just a little let up opened the way for Martin wh6 is really not that speedy at all just a hard runner. Well so much for the big upset. Sisters finally won the game 34-20, to hang on the a 2-0 record and the No 2 ranking in the state. The 0-2 Buffs will face. Crewel Friday night the 25th of September on the home field. In the game with Sisters a couple of main says were on the sideline. Jered Moses had a sprained ankle and Jackie Shadley had a cracked bone in his ankle. Hopefully they will be in full force for the next game. If4! tzz i The Kah-Nee-Ta Junior Program completes session The Kah-Nee-Ta Junior Program begain on July 4th and was com pleted on August 1 1th. the 1998 sea son for the juniors was a full one. There were a total of 10 sessions. 1 12 hour session for the kids, so they got in quite a bit of practice and also a lot information. The juniors were instucted in all aspects of the game (excluding bunker play), and were given two sessions of golf course knowledge and eqitte. On August 1 1th there was a tournament for the juniors with all of them receiving a prize of some sort. The grand prize winners in their efforts. There was a barbecue following the tournament, with approximately 40 juniors and almost as many adults attending. Special thanks to all the adults which helped making this such a successful program. And the golf shop staff would especially like to thank the "cool" for the bar-b-que. Cecil "Lo cal Boy" Seyler and Willie "Do you have an extra putter I left mine at home" Stacona. Didn't hear any com plaints. It was a great year!!!! Kah-Nee-Ta Golf Resort golfers headed for the Wildhorse Golf Re sort in Pendleton for the 1st Annual "Home & Home" tournamet series. At stake for the winners was to have the losing team buy each member of the opposing team a logoed wind breaker with the winner's logo on it. Our local golfers ae going to be just a slight bit poorer when they have purchased the windbreakers. We could call it a tight match, with the outside in doubt until the bitter end. But...not quite. Out of the 26 indi vidual matches, we congratulate the four (4) Kah-Nee-Ta golfers who were victorious. Next year we're go ing to have to train a little harder. Reese says, "Good luck!" to future rodeoers Exerciser keeping spirit strong through efforts "l A Jesse Reese participated in High School Nationals Eight-teen-year-old Jesse Reese has been a member of the Oregon High School Rodeo Association for he past three years of high school 'esse is a 1998 graduate of Madras -ligh School. He and his team roping partner of two years, Mike Agee of Redmond, recently qualified to attend the Na tional High School Rodeo finals in Gillette, Wyoming July 20 through 26. Reese and Agee qualified for Nationals by placing third in the Or egon State High School finals in Prineville, Oregon in June. Jesse was excited about making it to Nationals as it has been a goal of his since he began three years ago. His junior year, he and his partner also ranked in the top ten but their dreams feel short that year as Jesse severely broke his leg in a horse accident. He missed the chance at finals in Fallon, Nevada, w here those ranked fifth through eighth would participate. His partner had quali fied, therefore he felt together, they would have a shot at Nationals the next year. When the time came this past year, he didn't know they had qualified until the last day of state. "It was a close call. A lot of people backed me up, to raise funds and I appreciate it," says Jesse. When Reese first arrived in Gillette, he was "excited", he couldn't quit thinking about wanting to rope and meeting new people. He is grate ful to Lee and Justin Tom for the encouragement and help they offered him. Jesse and his partner didn't place in Gillette but Jesse felt very much honored and privileged to be there because of the time and dedication it took to make it to Nationals. Jesse's future places are to start working and to attend as many ama teur rodeos as possible and he would like to start calf roping if his injury allows. Jesse would like to say to future high school rodeo participants, "Good luck!" Roy Jackson was named Exer ciser of the Month for September by r - JUL. ' J ' I , J. , I . Roy Jackson spends 8 to 15 hours a week exercising. the Warm Springs Wellness Center staff. He is currently running and walk ing for endurance four to six times a week, spending eight to IS hours per week testing his strength and endur ance. He has been exercising on a regular basis for about nine years. Watching others and remember ing how good it feels and how much better a person can move, clearer they can think and be more positive is what motivates him to maintain his exercise regime. "Knowing that the body is a very great gift that cannot be copied or duplicated," is the primary benefit Jackson receives from his exercise. The body is "where the spirit lives and I will do whatever I need to take care of it. .it keeps my spirit strong." Paydays and getting injured are Jackson's major stumbling blocks, but he exercises, by himself or with others, mainly to "just feel good." If he had no limitations, Jackson would participate in martial arts, running. football, basketball and soccer. He advises other exercisers to "set a goal of high standards and work your way to it and believe in yourself...If you start to work out, you will be two times the person you can ever imagine yourself to be. It brings all the greatness and gets the spirit strong to make the right deci sions," he concludes.
