According to Ryan Tor- SOFTBALL Continued from Page B1 Twelve Prospectors had hits, with multiple hits from Ravyn Walker, Jocelynn Smith, Whitney McClellan, Railey Namitz and Moulton. Grant Union started off with a big irst inning. The Prospectors scored a couple runs off some walks with the bases loaded. Then Walker tripled, scoring three. Smith followed up with a double on a bunt to score two. “It was an opportunity for land, ODFW district wildlife biologist, topics to be covered include tag numbers for the 2016 hunting season, hunting season changes and proposals and management objectives, which are target numbers for deer and elk populations. “We’re in a 10-year review process for management ob- jective,” Torland said. “We the younger kids to get some experience,” Nash said, adding she appreciates the luxury of having several pitchers avail- able. “It’s nice to see those kids perform,” she said. Grant Union had a make-up game Saturday against Echo/ Stanield, the Cougars taking a 3-0 win. Moulton pitched four in- nings, with Madden inishing the game. “It was a defensive game, and neither team could gather much offensive momentum,” Nash said.

Torland said neither change will relect changes in the actual population. “We’re just relecting on what’s realistic on the winter landscape, more of an ac- counting change,” he said. All other management ob- jectives are open for review as well but at this time there has been no recommendation for changes. Several tag number chang- es are in place this season: • Desolation Unit: reduc- ing deer by 100, from 1200 to 1100. • East Murderers Creek: Dropping 50 tags, from 300 to 250. • Northside Unit: Reduc- ing cow tags from 500 to 400. • Increasing spring bear tags for 2017 from 500 to 600. These are tag recommen- dations for the 2016 hunting season that will be proposed to the ODFW commission in June, Torland added. There will also be an up- date of on herd status of lo- cal wildlife populations in the district. In general for the county: • Deer: Fawn numbers are 36 per 100 adults, and popula- tions are stable from last year. • Elk: Cow to calf ratio, 21 per 100 cows; bull ratio, 13 per 100; populations are stable. • Mountain goats: Staff haven’t had a chance to sur- vey them since the Canyon Creek Complex ire, but Tor- land said not much of the goat habitat burned. They are at 65, and still on the increase. • Big Horn sheep and ante- lope populations are all hold- ing steady. The Eagle/Angel Carpenter Grant Union first baseman Janelle King tags a Umatilla runner out with pitcher Brianna Zweygardt and second baseman Mariah Moulton in the action. Scoring opportunities came in the ifth, sixth and seventh, but the Prospectors were unable to push them across for runs. Grant Union was on the road Tuesday, past press time, facing Weston-McEwen in Athena. They play the Vikings in Vale at 2 p.m. (MDT) on Fri- day. “Those are teams we have to get after,” Nash said. “The team that plays to their best po- tential will win.” MONUMENT has a goal to keep beating his record. “I like our team,” he said. “We’re a close knit team.” Dailey’s goals include max- imizing the number of athletes qualifying for state champion- ships and winning a meet this year. “All the athletes have personal records as part of their individual goals, which have largely been met — and, of course, everyone wants to have fun,” he said. It’s now “crunch time” for districts, he said. The coach said he encourag- es his team to “pay attention to the details of your event, prac- tice like you want to perform, remember that you love your sport, you love being fast and jumping or throwing far.” He reminds them: “You are ultimately competing against yesterday, and, inally, there is no problem that can’t be solved with higher knees.” Continued from Page B1 Thomas said she’s working to qualify for state in the 3,000 and continue to make personal gains in the 800. “I like that we have more people participating in track this year, which makes it more en- joyable because it makes it more supported,” she said. Homan said she appreciates her team’s support. “Being a irst-year senior, I mainly focus on personal re- cords and getting ready for life,” she said. Molly Hoodenpyl is also on the team for the irst time. She said, so far, she’s having fun with her events. “I really had to push myself, and I have a lot of room to im- prove,” she said. Jess Hoodenpyl said his fa- vorite event is the 3,000, and he Bruce Hoover Squeeze In Wild West Hair Co.
