JOHN DAY – The Grant Union
Prospectors rolled over the Enter-
prise Outlaws last Friday in a 56-
14 rout at Three Flags Field.
Grant Union had a strong start
with Cauy Weaver scoring off
quarterback Wade Reimers’ pass
on their first possession.
A short time later Reimers con-
nected with Wyatt Weaver for a
touchdown, followed by Garrett
McConnell’s successful two-point
conversion run.
The Prospectors tackled Enter-
prise for loss of yards, then Garrett
Lenz had a sack.
Enterprise was in their red
zone when Grant Union took over
on downs; however, the Outlaws
scored when the Prospectors fum-
bled the ball at their 20-yard line,
also adding conversion points.
The quarter ended with Grant
Union in the lead 14-8.
Grant Union capped a 12-play
drive with Reimers connecting
with Wyatt Weaver in the red zone,
then Hayden Young rushing the
ball in for the touchdown.
Other highlights from the sec-
ond quarter include Eli Humbird
recovering a fumble, and a sack by
McConnell.
With just 14 seconds left in the
quarter, Cauy Weaver scored, with
Reimers adding the two conversion
points, bringing the halftime score
to 28-8.
The Prospectors added 20 points

OHN DAY – Dozens of pink,
UeG anG ZKite Ealloons À oateG
heavenward at last Saturday’s
Rally for the Cure golf scramble at
the John Day Golf Club.
The release of the balloons is a
special moment to honor and sup-
port loved ones touched by breast
cancer.
Participants attach to each bal-
loon someone’s name or a prayer,
said Kim Ward, who has been am-
bassador of the event for 10 years
now.
While that is one of the more re-
À ective moments during the Rally,
the event also includes a fun golf
scramble where teams are encour-
aged to dress up and decorate their
golf carts.
John Day resident Lynda Far-
rell’s team named “Mom and the
girls” included her daughter-in-law
Sarah Parker of La Grande, and
granddaughters Ronda Pade of Ter-
rebonne and Natalie Riley of Red-
mond.
Farrell said the Rally is some-
thing she looks forward to each year.
“It’s special to me because I’ve
had quite a few cancer issues in our
family – not necessarily breast can-
cer,” she said. “My daughter-in-law
is a breast cancer survivor this year.
It’s hard to describe how awesome
the Rally is.”

team is working to hone their
skills as the season moves
along.
The Tigers had a strong
start with a 42-6 win over
