Seniors this season include:
Isenberger, Packard, Williams,
Propeck, Maloy, Siddoway, Ty-
ler Belveal and Brogan McKro-
la.
Propeck said he’s looking
forward to the season.
“We’ve got more athletic kids
(this season),” Propeck said. “It
allows us to get down the fi eld
more. We’re also playing better
defense.”
Packard said, although the
ROUNDUP
team is young, he thinks it is go-
ing well this season.
Unfortunately, Packard will
be out for awhile, healing up
from an injury.
Siddoway said the team is
more up to speed compared to
where they were this time last
year.
“I look forward to winning
some games,” he said.
“I think we’ve got some pret-
ty tough kids,” Brogan McKrola
said. “They’re young, but they
know the game well, and I think
we have a pretty good chance of
winning some games in league.”

tumble game against the Pine Ea-
gle Spartans on Friday afternoon.
Up against a nonleague var-
sity opponent, Prairie City/Burnt
River fell 52-0.
Panther/Bulls head coach
Darrel McKrola said the Pine
Eagle varsity team’s larger play-
ers overcame their smaller junior
varsity team.

Grant Union football
The Grant Union football team
suffered a 36-20 loss on the road
against the Heppner Mustangs.
The Mustangs came out
strong, gaining 16 points in the
fi rst 5 minutes of the game.
Grant Union head football
coach Jason Miller said, after that,
his team “began to play more disci-
plined and with more toughness.”
In the second quarter, the
Prospectors put 6 points on the
board, holding Heppner to zero.
The Prairie
City/Burnt

The score was 20-6, with
Heppner leading, at the half.
While Grant Union battled
back, they couldn’t overcome for
the win.
“I am proud of their mental
toughness, and we gained a great
deal of experience in this game,”
Miller said.
A highlight from the game in-
cluded Prospector Cauy Weaver
forcing two turnovers.
Grant Union hosts nonleague
opponent Stanfi eld on Friday at 7
p.m. in John Day.
“Stanfi eld is a very quality op-
ponent with many returning start-
ers from last year,” Miller said.

cross country
In Grant Union cross coun-
try, Reitta Wyllie and Ginni
Frazier both earned faster times
at Friday’s Catherine Creek
Scamper.
“What makes it even more
impressive is Catherine Creek is
a harder course than they ran the
week before,” said Grant Union
head coach Sonna Smith.
She highlighted middle school
runner Jesse Randleas, who also
competed at the event with his
fastest time.
“I was happy with the ath-
letes’ races,” she said.
