said they are training the girls
to quicken their pace, without
hurrying.
“The girls are all pretty
much beginning,” Johnson
said. “Overall, we’re trying to
encourage them to keep play-
ing, and we’re trying to make
it fun.”
Long Creek/Ukiah faced
Jordan Valley the following
day, losing 11-70.
The Lady Panthers took on
Harper/Huntington in Harper
Saturday, winning 66-19.
The Prairie City and Long
Creek/Ukiah boys battled it
out on the Panther court with
Prairie City winning 66-37.
“It’s something we needed
pretty bad,” said Panther head
coach Mark Woodbury.
He noted that Dorran Wil-
son is out for the season with
an injury, and Triston Emmel
came out of Friday’s game
with an injury, paring the
team down to six players.
Prairie City was up 17-9 in
the ¿rst quarter, and lost some
wind in the second quarter.
The Panthers still had the
lead at halftime, 23-19, but

Long Creek/Ukiah co-
coach Daniel Johnson said his
team is doing well for the time
they’ve had to work together.
One of his experienced
players, Sam Studtmann, got
into foul trouble early.
“He plays good defense, so
that hurt us,” Johnson said.
The team will work on ex-
ecution and keeping up the
tempo, he said.
Co-coach TC Conner said
the group needs to work on
“making things happen.”
“They need to read and
react,” he said. “Things are
still progressing, and they are
still learning the offense and
timing.”
On Saturday, the Panthers
lost 35-63 to Harper/Hun-

practice,” Phatthanun added.
“This is the ¿rst time that
we’ve played, and we’re try-

The Long Creek/Uki-

through for a win, but the
boys gave Prairie City some
intense competition during
their ¿rst league game last
Friday.
The Mountaineer/Cougar
boys kept the score close and
gained the lead for a short
time in the third quarter be-
fore Prairie City pulled away
with the 66-37 win.
Coach Johnson said the
teams are improving.
“I think they’re doing well
for coming together as late
as they did,” he said. “To be
where they’re at right now is
great.”

IMBLER – Four Lady
Prospectors scoring in dou-
ble digits against the Imbler
Panthers helped propel their
team to victory Friday.
Grant Union ignited the
Panther court claiming a de-
cisive 63-31 win.
“It was a great win as a
team,” said head coach Mark
Mosley. “We shot the ball ex-
tremely well and maintained
our defensive intensity.”
Among the top scorers for
the team were Kori Pentzer
with 13 points, Heather Mos-
ley 12, McKenzie Wilson and
Mariah Moulton 10 each and
Emily Mosley 6.
Grant Union’s boys team
faced the No. 4-ranked Im-
bler Panthers, who are No. 5
in the coaches poll.
“They don’t make many
mistakes and once they take
a lead it’s tough to come back
on them as they hold the ball
on offense for long periods of
time,” said head coach Steve
Speth, adding that a poor
shooting day also cost them
the win.
Grant Union fell behind
by 8 points in the second
quarter.
Speth said the team made
some adjustments at the half;
however, Imbler adjusted
well and added to their lead
in the third quarter.
“We made a good come-

What I like best about my sport: “I like that it’s a team sport,
a physical sport, and I like the competition.”
Coach’s Comment: “She’s a leader on the court, especially as
a defensive end – she’s one of our best defensive players. She
gives 100 percent on the court. As a coach, I like having that
kind of hustle and effort every game.”

near Bare Bones and the Budget
8 Motel in John Day. At 6:28 p.m.,
OSP Senior Trooper Erich Timko
located Frizzell and gave chase on
foot.
Gray said John Day Police of-
ficers Larry Sherman and Kevin
Miller, and Sheriff’s Deputy Zach
Mobley responded within two min-
utes, and found Timko with Frizzell
in handcuffs, apprehending him be-
tween the north side of the Budget
8 property and Riverside Mobile
Home Park.
Frizzell was briefly held at the
Grant County Jail before Union
County Jail staff arrived and took
custody of him.
John Bates, Medical Director of
JRACC, said, “It was deemed Friz-
zell wasn’t required to have ongoing
treatment and was sent back to jail,
because it was a behavioral issue.”
Lindsay said, “We cannot guar-
antee it, but we will do all we can to
prevent this from happening. We
want everyone to be assured when
it comes to the safety of the com-
munity we will take proper steps
to assure we are transparent and to
minimize the likelihood of this hap-
pening again at Juniper Ridge.”
