Kidd: Falls City wins two straight Continued from Page 12A That’s allowed Falls City coach Roxi Barnhart to use several young players in her lineups throughout the sea- son. While the transition to varsity may be rough at first, Kidd said the Moun- taineers are improving quickly. “We’re getting through it,” Kidd said. “The girls are doing a really good job. I’m really proud of them.” Falls City’s volleyball squad may be in a year of transition with more than half its roster filled with un- derclassmen, but Kidd isn’t stressing. Instead, she’s doing whatever she can to ensure her teammates enjoy the journey. “I don’t really have a set goal,” Kidd said. “Whatev- er I make it to, I make it to. I just like hanging out with my teammates, play- ing and having fun.” Foot: Senior ready for big kick Continued from Page 12A “I just thought well, I’m going to play football,” Hoff- man said. “I don’t know what that’s going to entail, but I just went for it.” Playing alongside players who had trained for months to get ready for the season, Hoffman looked for an op- portunity to contribute. Given her background in soccer, Hoffman got her chance as a kicker, specifi- cally on field goals and extra points. “They had me and Alvin (Berroa) both kicking for a while,” Hoffman said. “He was doing a lot of running back, and when he runs 70 yards, he probably shouldn’t have to kick it, too. I was ac- curate enough (on extra points) so we have him stick to kickoffs.” Hoffman said she picked up the mechanics of kicking fairly quickly. The most diffi- cult part is trusting her training and ability. “It’s the mental aspect,” Itemizer-Observer staff report DALLAS — Dallas’ boys soccer squad earned a 2-2 tie against Benson on Sept. 22 before falling to Southridge 3-1 on Thurs- day. Cameron Overstreet and Michael Davison scored goals for the Dragons against Benson. Dallas fin- ished nonleague play with a 1-4-1 record overall. The Dragons open Mid- Willamette Conference play against Central Monday at 4 p.m. before playing at Woodburn on Tuesday. VOLLEYBALL DROPS THREE OF FOUR: Dallas’ vol- leyball squad lost three of four matches last week. The Dragons lost to Crescent Val- ley 25-15, 23-25, 25-19, 25-18 on Sept. 22 and Lebanon 25- 20, 25-12, 25-13 on Thursday in Mid-Willamette Confer- ence play. Dallas split its matches at the Oregon City Tournament, defeating Put- nam 25-13, 25-13 before falling to David Douglas 25- 17, 25-22. The Dragons (7-5 overall, 3-3 MWC) played at Silverton Tuesday after press time. Dallas hosts Woodburn Thursday at 6 p.m. before playing at Central Monday at 6 p.m. and at South Albany on Oct. 7. FOOTBALL FALLS IN DE- FENSIVE BAT TLE: Dallas’ football squad lost a defen- sive battle to Central 8-0 on Friday. The Panthers’ Alvin Berroa scored on a 5-yard run in the second quarter for the game’s lone score. Central held Dallas to 29 yards of total offense, including -64 on the ground. The Dragons (1-3 overall, 1-1 Mid-Willamette Conference) hosts South Al- bany Friday at 7 p.m. Itemizer-Observer Athlete of the Week Keenan Bailey Perrydale High Bailey, a senior running back/line- backer for Perrydale’s football squad, played a central role in Perrydale’s 36- 34 victory over Dufur on Friday. Bailey had 51 carries for 354 yards and four touchdowns, helping the Pirates erase a 22-8 deficit in the first quarter. Bailey scored on runs of 6, 25, 3 and 8 yards. With the victory, Perrydale remains undefeated, improving to 4-0 overall and 2-0 in Special District 4 play. Alex Dowdell Central High Dowdell, a junior outside hitter on Central’s volleyball team, helped the Panthers to a thrilling 23-25, 25-17, 16- 25, 25-13, 15-8 victory over Corvallis on Thursday evening. Dowdell had a team- high 26 kills to help lead Central to the five-set victory. The junior also added 21 digs to help the Panthers improve to 4-6 overall and 3-3 in Mid-Willamette Conference play and into a tie for fourth place.

Hoffman said. “I just have to make sure I’m not thinking too much. When I think about it is when I have prob- lems.” Just as important as find- ing a position, Hoffman wanted to make sure her teammates were on board with her joining the squad. “I think it was hard for the guys at first because yeah, I’m a girl,” Hoffman said. “I didn’t want them to feel like I was trespassing or some- thing.” It didn’t take long for Hoff- man, who has always gotten along with boys, to win over her teammates. “They really welcomed me in and there really hasn’t Tallon: Junior has hat trick Continued from Page 12A That hasn’t come easy for the Dragons, who enter their Mid-Willamette Conference opener at Central on Mon- day with a 1-6 mark. In the team’s lone victory, a 3-2 victory over David Douglas on Sept. 8, Tallon scored a hat trick in the first half. “That was great,” Tallon said. “I never would have gotten it without those as- sists. They played perfect through balls and I was able to get the shots right, but it was all because of the girls’ passing.” In total, the junior forward scored more than half (five) of Dallas’ total goals (eight) during the nonleague sea- son. Tallon isn’t just one of the team’s more experienced players. She’s been the Drag- ons’ most consistent scoring option. That’s a role Tallon thrives in — but not for the personal glory of scoring. “It puts a lot of pressure on those one-on-one break- aways,” Tallon said. “You’re getting it for the girls behind you. They worked so hard to get the ball up to you. It’s unfortunate when you can’t make it happen, but when it does go in, it’s a great feeling for the whole team.” It’s not just her play that’s doing the talking. She’s one of the team’s loudest leaders — a role she knows can be just as important to Dallas’ success. As the Dragons prepare to begin league play, Tallon won’t just be looking for more goals, she hopes to in- spire her teammates to play for each other — and that could be the key toward finding success on the pitch. “It’s not an individual sport, and you can’t do any- thing without the team- mates behind you,” Tallon said. “You really have to be together. When you are, everyone starts lighting up and you know you guys are going to go places. I feel like we are.” SCOREBOARD DALLAS ROUNDUP Boys soccer earns tie against Benson LUKAS EGGEN/Itemizer-Observer Senior Reba Hoffman will kick extra points and field goals for Central’s football team this season. been a terrible part of it,” Hoffman said. She soon discovered that all the talk of football players being a family has been more than lip service. “Boys always talk about how it’s a family,” Hoffman said. “It’s really different. They’ve taken me in as a sis- ter. They never put me down. They don’t put other people down. I feel the same acceptance and encourage- ment. It’s really nice.” Hoffman has seen limited action so far this season as the Panthers’ place kicker, but she knows she could play a big role at any mo- ment. “There’s definitely a hope that it will happen and there’s a hope that it doesn’t hap- pen,” Hoffman said. “Hedrick has talked to me about how he swears one game will come down to that. He be- lieves in me and if it does come down to a kick, I know I have my team behind me. I won’t be too worried.” Fourth Quarter P—Long 22 run (Gonzales kick) FOOTBALL Friday, Oct. 2 Game Western Oregon at Dixie State CLASS 5A MID-WILLAMETTE Team League Silverton 2-0 Central 2-0 Lebanon 1-1 South Albany 1-1 Crescent Valley 1-1 Dallas 1-1 Corvallis 0-2 Woodburn 0-2 Friday, Sept. 25 Result Central 8, Dallas 0 All 3-1 3-1 3-1 2-2 2-2 1-3 0-4 0-4 CENTRAL 8, DALLAS 0 Central Dallas 0 8 0 0— 8 0 0 0 0— 0 Second Quarter C—Berroa 5 run (Holstad pass from Mendazona) Friday, Oct. 2 Games Crescent Valley at Central South Albany at Dallas — CLASS 1A SPECIAL DISTRICT 3 Team League Lowell 2-0 Yoncalla 1-0 North Douglas 1-0 Siletz Valley 1-0 Mapleton 1-1 Triangle Lake 1-1 Mohawk 1-1 Falls City 0-0 McKenzie 0-2 Alsea 0-2 Friday, Sept. 25 Result North Douglas 52, Falls City 14 Friday, Oct. 2 Game Falls City at Mapleton — All 3-1 4-0 3-1 2-2 2-1 1-3 1-3 0-4 0-4 0-4 SPECIAL DISTRICT 4 Team League Perrydale 2-0 Arlington/Condon 2-0 Sherman 2-0 Dufur 0-1 Ione 0-1 Mitchell/Spray/Wheeler 0-2 South Wasco County 0-2 Friday, Sept. 25 Result Perrydale 36, Dufur 34 All 4-0 3-0 2-2 3-1 1-2 2-2 0-4 PERRYDALE 36, DUFUR 34 Dufur Perrydale 22 6 6 0—34 8 14 14 0—36 First Quarter P—Barnes 17 pass from Domes (Bai- ley run) D—65 kickoff return (run) D—5 run (run) D—55 run (run failed) Second Quarter P—Bailey 6 run (Barnes pass from Domes) D—15 run (run failed) P—Bailey 25 run (pass failed) Third Quarter P—Bailey 3 run (Bailey run) D—50 run (run failed) P—Bailey 8 run (pass failed) Friday, Oct. 2 Game Perrydale at South Wasco County — COLLEGE GNAC Team League All Humboldt State 1-0 3-0 Azusa Pacific 1-0 3-1 South Dakota Mines 0-0 3-1 Central Washington 0-0 2-2 Simon Fraser 0-0 0-3 Western Oregon 0-1 1-3 Dixie State 0-1 1-3 Saturday, Sept. 26 Result Portland State 31, Western Oregon 0 PSU 31, WOU 0 WOU CWU 0 0 0 0— 0 0 17 7 7—31 Second Quarter P—Kuresa 2 run (Gonzales kick) P—Josh Kraght 25 run (Gonzales kick) P—Gonzales 24 field goal Third Quarter P—Tago 1 run (Gonzales kick) BOYS SOCCER CLASS 5A MID-WILLAMETTE Team League Corvallis 0-0 Silverton 0-0 Woodburn 0-0 South Albany 0-0 Crescent Valley 0-0 Central 0-0 Dallas 0-0 Lebanon 0-0 Tuesday, Sept. 22 Result Dallas 2, Benson 2 Thursday, Sept. 24 Result Southridge 3, Dallas 1 Monday, Sept. 28 Result Aloha 4.
