Ontario shuts out Baker girls, 2-0
Ontario scored a pair of goals mid-
way through the fi rst half and made
them stand up to defeat Baker 2-0 in
a Greater Oregon League girls soccer
match Saturday at the Baker Sports
Complex.
Ontario’s fi rst goal came 12 minutes
into the match.
The Tigers then scored again with just
under 19 minutes left in the half off a
crossing shot into the upper left corner
of the net.

EASTERN OREGON UNIVERSITY FOOTBALL
Mounties fall to Southern Oregon
By Ronald Bond
The (La Grande) Observer
LA GRANDE — Eastern
Oregon was, perhaps, just
a couple of plays away from
securing a sweep in the Small
School Civil War.
In the end, though, it was
Southern Oregon keeping the
trend of road-fi eld advantage
alive in the rivalry.
The visiting Raiders scored
17 straight points to build a
double-digit lead, then held
off an Eastern Oregon rally
to edge the Mountaineers,
31-25, Saturday in Frontier
Conference action.
“I didn’t see any give up
in our kids,” head coach Tim
Camp said. “Physically, we
brought it to them. I think we
were the more physical team
today, without a doubt. (But)
hats off to them. They made
enough plays and we came up
a couple plays short of win-
ning the football game.”
The win by the Raiders,
their third in a row, was the
fi fth straight by the road
team in the rivalry, and 12th
in the last 15 contests.
The home team, though,
gave itself an opportunity to
get back in the game after
trailing by 16 points in the
fourth quarter, with the de-
fense playing a big role in the
comeback effort.
The Mountaineers forced
turnovers on three straight
Raider possessions — an in-
terception by Garrett Yunker
late in the third and fumble
recoveries by Zack Jacobs and
Yunker early in the fourth
— and turned the last two of
those into points. A 15-yard
touchdown run by Victor Dias
— who rushed for a season-
high 147 yards — trimmed
Eastern’s defi cit to nine, and
a 24-yard Jaiden Machuca
fi eld goal made it a six-point
game with nine minutes to
play.
“I thought our kids played
hard. They really did. You’re
down (31)-15 and able to
come back and put yourself
in position to win at the end
is all you can ask for,” Camp
said.
EOU got two more posses-
sions, as well, but was unable
to complete the rally. A drive
to midfi eld stalled when Tre
Holmes and Jake Regino
sacked EOU quarterback Kai
Quinn and a fourth-down
completion to Tanner Zenke
fell short of the line to gain.
EOU got the ball back one fi -
nal time with 13 seconds left,
but a fi nal deep pass to Saige
Wilkerson was caught at the
SOU 15 as time expired.
The play before, Eastern
receiver Christian Blaser was
ruled out of bounds on a pass
with one second to play near
the 15 that would have given
the Mountaineers a more
legitimate chance to score
on the fi nal play than a Hail
Mary.
“That would have been big
for us (to) be able to throw
the ball in the end zone at the
end,” Camp said.
Eastern did what it wanted
to do in several facets of the
game, including owning the
running game.
“I like the direction of the
offense. It’s more who I am
and it’s making the defense
more physical,” Camp said.
Dias’ big day on the ground
helped the Mountaineers to a
second straight 200-plus yard
rushing effort. Southern, by
comparison, had just 79 yards
rushing.
“He was running downhill,
he did what I asked him to
do,” Camp said of Dias. “He
had the hot hand, and that’s
why I played him.”
EOU also cut its penal-
ties in half, committing just
seven a week after having
15, keeping SOU in check on
third down (the Raiders were
2-for-12), winning the time of
possession battle, and forcing
four turnovers while commit-
ting two.
But one of those, a fumble
on a punt return early in
the third quarter as the rain
picked up, gave Southern
new life after it went three-
and-out to start the second
half. Hykeem Massey scored
on an 11-yard reception two
play later for a 24-15 SOU
lead. The margin swelled to
its largest after an Eastern
three-and-out and a 50-yard
drive by Southern, which
Trent Banner fi nished with a
2-yard run with 5:54 to play.
“The one thing that sticks
out in my mind is the big
stop coming out the third,
and then them punting the
ball and then we fumble it.
We give the ball back on the
special forces,” Camp said.
“That’s tough.”
EOU held the Raiders to
261 yards of total offense,
with Southern largely gain-
ing yardage off the arm of
quarterback Wyatt Hutchin-
son, who was 20-for-31
passing for 182 yards and two
scores. The Raiders’ success
in the passing game was due
to Hutchinson reading the
run-pass option effectively.
“That’s them hitting the
zones where they are reading
(the linebackers), and we
needed to stay put and rally
to the run,” Camp said.
Quinn was 10-for-17 pass-
ing for 153 yards, and added
22 yards rushing and two
fi rst half scores, the second of
which gave EOU a 15-14 with
5:46 to play in the fi rst half.
EOU fi nished with 360
total yards.
