The Simnasho Red Devils, champions of the BAAD tourney.
Red Devils win at Pendleton
By Tony Suppah
Basketball coach
Simnasho Red Devils
Champions Pendleton
BAAD Tourney
We played in the boys 10
12 division at the Pendleton
Battle Against Alcohol and
Drugs (BAAD) Tournament
on March 22-23.
Year after year, it is a very
competitive tournament put
on by the Umitilla Tribes. In
2002 Redsky and Rosey
played with Cece Moses'
team, and helped win the 9
and under division, then in
2003 the Red Devils placed
third.
I'd truly like to thank the
parents and the sponsors for
their support. Our roster con
sists of Captains Redsky
Walker and Rosey Twostarrs
Suppah, C.J. Easterling,
Turner Gill, Austin Say, Rabe
Clements, Sean Sohappy,
Craig Smith and Anthony
Maldenado.
We were defeated by the
Wapato Wizards in the first
game. This was the same
team we beat in the Cougars
sixth grade and under tourney.
They were well prepared for the
game, while we played bad both
offensively and defensively.
In our second game, the team
pulled together, defeating
Yakima to move on in the
bracket. We won the game by a
big margin. In the semi-finals we
played against two-time defend
ing champs Omak, Wash. They
were very quick and good shoot
ers, very scrappy, and pressed
the whole game.
From start to finish each
team took turns taking the lead
in the game. In the end we
pulled ahead, and were victori
ous by 10 points, to move into
the championship game.
In the championship game
we played the 2003 runner up,
Klamath Nation, coached by my
good friend Ed Case Jr.
Right from the start they
jumped ahead of us, well
coached. We played catch up the
whole game. Our future Buffa
loes never gave up or quit the
whole game. We played a very
physical team. We began improv
ing as the game progressed,
making up for our mistakes.
With two minutes and nine
seconds left we were ten
points down. Then Austin
Say and Turner Gill hit three
pointers, and Craig Smith
stole the ball scoring two
points.
We put up a full-court
press, stole the ball, tying the
game, and then they went
ahead by one point. With six
seconds left Redsky Walker
Suppah hit for three points,
putting us ahead 42-40. I Ie
rushed back on defense in
tercepting a long pass. He
was fouled, missed his shot,
but got his rebound. 1 Ie got
fouled shooting, no call as the
ball was heading out of
bounds. C.J. Easterling dove
and kept the ball in play, end
ing the game, Red Devil
Champions.
Klamath for the second
year in a row was runner up.
They said they'd see us next
year. - " .;:!..
God bless you all.
14th Annual
Honor Seniors
Day is May 14
The Fourteenth Annual
Honor Seniors Day will com
mence on May 14 at the Agency
Longhouse.
The event will acknowledge
all senior citizens in various ways
with special awards.
Plan again on making this day
a very positive and most enjoy
able experience for everyone,
filled with merriment and laugh
ter. This is the largest senior citi
zen event in Central Oregon,
and possibly the whole Pacific
Northwest. Attendance is ex
pected to be between 900 and
1,200.
Needless to say, in hosting
this event there is much expense
to the Warm Springs Senior Citi
zens Department.
For this reason the depart
ment would gladly appreciate
any contribution, whether from
an individual or a department.
For information call the Se
nior Citizen Center at 553-3313.

Boxers compete at Spokane
Junior Olympics
tournament
coming to Madras
By An m in Smith
lloxinji coach
On Saturday, March 13 and
Sunday, March 14 at the East
Valley Middle School in Spokane,
Wash., a few local USA Ama
teur Boxers weighed in for ac
tion. The lightest of our few was
the young man who faints a lot,
Mr. Wesley Graybael, weighing
in at 119 pounds, but having no
one in his Novice weight divi
sion (119 pounds). He took a
walk-through award for being a
game contestant.
But just for the ride I got him
a match bout for Sunday with
Aarron McChesney from the
South Everett, Wash., boxing
club. This was the second time
this year that these two fellas
went against one another.
Wesley wasn't' snipes but he
went all three rounds this time,
and if they touch gloves again,
I know it'll even be a closer con
test. Another rez boxer who we all
like to watch stepped on the
scales and it said 150 pounds,
man that was too much, but the
extra five pounds was too much
to shake before the scales
closed, so I moved him up to
the 154 pounds division, but
there was no one in that weight
class in the 154 pound novice
division, just Trevor, so he got
awarded with an uncontested
championship award and I did
with Wesley, 1 got him a match
bout for Saturday with one of
West Portland's better 15-16
year old open boxers, Alfonzo
Hernandez, who not long ago
just turned open, and because
Trevor is considered as a 15-16
year old open boxer. I'd bet any
one that Trevor beat him in the
rematch. Even though he lost
to him this time, it wasn't by a
lot.
Austin Smith Jr. had his first
open boxing tournament match
in the open senior 152 pound
weight division. He boxed
Daw son Carlson from Kelowna,
B.C., a Canadian boxing club.
When you mrn open it's like start
ing all over again for some fight
ers, and so it seemed for Austin
Smith. In the first round came
a hard left upper cut from
Carlson and it brought Smith
down for a count of nine. I was
in the corner and could feel him
making himself get up and he
did.
I Ie beat the count but not
for the pain a good body punch
produces and so the referee
stopped this match just before
the round ended. Who cares? In
boxing a good referee makes
sense and maybe it just being a
sport can save emotions for
another day.
So, the Warm Springs Box
ing Club brought something to
the Inland Northwest Associa
tion Boxing Championships and
came back with some three
losses. Our next travel will be to
the Oregon Junior Olympics
Tournament on April 17-18. It's
being held at the Wcstsidc El
ementary School in Madras, only
14 miles away. Warm Springs
will enter six or seven boxers in
this event, so please come and
make some noise for us. Also,
for all the hard workers at Fire
Management: Couldn't travel
without your good ole van,
"thanks." Utilities Department,
"Thank you for the magic ,"
and Warm Springs Vehicle Pool,
"White Keith" gets a thank you
and hope you got a secretary by
now. And Warm Springs Com
munity Center, Austin Greene,
your help is always appreciated.
