With Isaiah Jones leading the pack again,
Baker’s boys golf team won the team title in
a six-team tournament Monday, May 2, at
Scotch Pines near Payette, Idaho.
Jones fired a two-over par round of 74 to
win medalist honors for the third straight
tournament.
And the Bulldogs did the same as a team,
with a team score of 325 strokes, topping La
Grande, Nyssa, Ontario, Vale and Burns.
The Baker girls, who fielded a full team for
the first in a few weeks, placed second overall
at 499, behind La Grande (437).
Baker’s Caitlin Lien tied for fifth overall
with La Grande’s Sydney Cox with a round
of 111.
Gretchen Morgan had a 122, Lilly Wilson
126, and Makenna Shamion carded a 140.
Early in the tournament the weather was
T-shirt worthy, but rain drenched the players
over the final two holes.
Baker’s Jaxon Logsdon, like Jones a fresh-
man, carded an 81 to finish third in the boys
overall standings.
He was followed by Jesse Maldonado,
fourth overall at 84, and Kaden Conklin,
fifth at 86. Gavin Stecher shot a 93.
Baker’s tennis teams, taking
advantage of a rare dry day,
traveled to Ontario on Tues-
day, May 3, for a previously
postponed match against Four
Rivers.
Baker won all seven singles
matches, and prevailed in four
of eight doubles contests.
In boys singles, Baker’s
Daniel Cunningham rallied to
top Marcus Grimaldo. After
losing the first set 6-3, Cun-
ningham won the second set
6-4, then won a tiebreaker,
7-4.
Baker boys won the other
three boys singles matches in
straight sets.
Caleb Hills defeated Jorge
Martinez, 6-4, 6-2. Ashton Le-
Tourneau was pitted against
Falcon player Eric Torres,
winning his match, 6-2, 6-2.
Noah Lien dominated Crew
Rathbun, 6-1, 6-0.
In boys doubles, Baker’s
No. 1 team of Ethan Hills and
Jayden Yencopal lost to Mar-
cus Grimaldo and Koda Alva-
rez, 6-2, 6-1.
Anthony Christopher and
Diego Jones-Bedolla played
two matches, first against
Angel Martinez and Fermin
Gonzalez for a loss, 6-4, 6-4.
The Baker duo then played
Carlos Beltran and Mario
Gastelum for a comeback win
in a tiebreak set, ending 6-0,
7-6 (7-1).
In girls singles, Baker’s
Sarah Plummer rallied from
a tough first set to beat Erin
Hawker, 1-6, 6-0, 6-4.
Campbell Vanderwiele
played two pro set matches
and won both by 8-6 scores,
the first over Mia Clayton 8-6,
and then against Nataly Dela-
cruz.
In girls doubles, Maya
Smith and Olivia Jacoby won
a close first game over Claire
Robins and Nicole Alvarez.
Smith and Jacoby won the
first set 6-2, but the Two Riv-
ers duo rallied to win the
second set 7-6 (7-5 in the tie-
