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.

have gone to a local advisory
committee who gave us some
direction, and now we are ask-
ing for input for the public.”
Torland said there are pro-
posals for two changes:
• West Beulah Unit: Re-
duce elk from 1,300 to 500.
• Desolation Unit: Reduce
deer from 2,500 to 1,500.
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.

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.”

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
