Coach’s Comment: “She is a hard worker who has
made consistent improvement all season long with a
great attitude at practice.”
Commenting on the inal
game, Grant Union head coach

when we got down in the irst
inning, they were playing with
conidence, which is really
helpful.”
Nash said the entire team
played with a determined atti-
tude “top to bottom.”
“The best thing that all the
girls did is that when some-
thing bad happened, they just
bounced right back and didn’t
let one mistake turn into anoth-

Both Deiter and Weaver

“We did what we needed

all about the kids — I want
to give back to the kids. I’m
happy with the season.”
ATTENTION:
Mid County Cemetery District has
experienced a loss of their pumping
equipment due to a major leak in the pump
station. This damage has stopped all
watering to the Canyon City and St.
Andrews Cemeteries. The Cemetery District
apologizes for the condition of the lawns
and is doing everything it can to get the
pump station back up and running. We
would also like to thank Doug Hudson for
the countless hours spent on this repair.

thought we would do as a
team, and individually we
had some personal bests,”
said Grant Union head coach
Ron Lundbom.
He said bad weather put
the boys team in a tough spot
after day one of competition.
“Our score reflected that,
but on day two, we had the
fourth best score,” he said.
“Of the six players we had,
four were first-year golfers.
I know some of the kids
were disappointed at their
performance, but just a cou-
ple of holes kept some from
advancing further. I had a
great time with these kids
both during the season and at
all the tournaments we com-
peted in. I am proud of the
way they represented Grant
Union High School and John
Day.”
Lundbom said he appre-
ciated having help from as-
sistant coach Jeff Allen this
season.
“I’m looking forward
