B2 Sports Blue Mountain Eagle ROUNDUP Continued from Page B1 Panther/Bull head coach Darrel McKrola said their fi rst- half loss to Echo could be at- tributed to poor execution. “Then we started to play football against Cove,” he said. “We started to execute the plays a little better and had a little more success against Cove.” The successful plays resulted in touchdowns for the Panther/ Bulls. “Our offense performed a lot better,” he said. “Our defense did well, stopping their team, and the boys started having a little more fun.” In the game against Echo, Nathan Maloy scored the sole touchdown for Prairie City/ Burnt River. Against Cove, Matt Siddo- way scored one and Tyler Bel- veal scored two rushing touch- downs for the Panther/Bulls. “Brogan McKrola and Wyatt Williams combined for most of the offense on the day,” McKro- la said. “Wyatt, Matt and Tyler combined for most of our defen- sive stops.” The team now prepares to host the Monument/Dayville Tigers at 1 p.m. Friday in Unity. McKrola said the team will work on sharpening their block- ing and pass patterns, and “not hesitate to hit.” Prairie City volleyball Prairie City’s volleyball team faced a tough Joseph team at Saturday’s Interleague Jambo- ree in North Powder, taking a 0-2 loss, 8-25 and 14-25. Panther co-coach Louanne Zweygardt said it was a chal- lenging day for the team, but it gave them “an opportunity to see and play some good teams.” “This helped us work on elements of our game that will benefi t us when league play be- gins,” she said. Prairie City hosted Burns junior varsity past press time on Tuesday, and will also host Grant Union junior varsity at 5 p.m. Wednesday, in nonleague matchups. They travel to Unity Friday where they’ll face Dayville/ Monument at about 3 p.m., fol- lowing the 2 p.m. junior varsity game, in their fi rst league game of the season.
