B10 Sports Blue Mountain Eagle LADY PROS Continued from Page B1 The Eagle/Angel Carpenter Grant Union Prospector Chelsie Kodesh works to keep the ball in play in the third set against Kennedy. Prospector Heather Mosley moved Grant Union ahead with several successful serves. Prospector Chelsie Kodesh was serving as Grant Union closed it out for the win. “After a terrific start against Kennedy, I felt we let up a little,” Speth said, adding she was proud of the team for persevering through the struggles and regaining focus. “We were pleased with the strong, positive turnout from the community on Saturday, and ap- preciate everyone who supported us throughout the season,” she said. She said they can’t afford to let up at the championships, so the team will fine tune their defense and work on rotations. “The girls have been focused on the process all season, and we will Wednesday, November 2, 2016 continue that process this week,” she said. Prospector Whitney McClellan was happy with Saturday’s success. “I’m really excited to see how far we can go next weekend in Redmond,” she said. “I love being on the court with my teammates and can’t wait to see what next weekend holds for us.” Teammate Hailie Wright added, “We’ve had a good season so far and came a long ways. I’m hoping we’re ending the season well with a blue trophy.” Grant Union stats: Mariah Moulton: 10 kills, 1 ace, 100 percent serving, 100 percent serve-receive, 8 digs, 1 solo block Whitney McClellan: 1 ace, 5 digs Reagan Shelley: 1 dig Chelsie Kodesh: 10 kills, 3 aces, 13 digs Hailie Wright: 1 kill, 24 set assists, 4 digs, 1 block assist Natalie Stearns: 5 aces, 8 digs Kaylee Wright: 1 kill, 3 solo blocks, 1 dig Heather Mosley: 8 kills, 4 aces, 2 digs, 1 solo block, 1 block assist The most valuable and respected source of local news, advertising and information for our communities.

Grant Union stumbled a bit, losing the ball on a fum- ble. The Prospector defense made a quick turnaround, but the offense couldn’t capitalize on it. Again, the Prospector defense made a push back, and on their next posses- sion Reimers blazed half the field to the 5-yard line, scoring on a keeper on the next play. Grant Union led 32-6 at the half. Highlights from the third quarter include Reimers scoring on a 64-yard keep- er, and although the Pros- pectors were pushed back 25 yards on a couple pen- alties, Reimers connected with Cauy Weaver for the two-point conversion. Each team found the end zone again to end the game. Deiter scored with Cam- eron Hallgarth gaining the two-point conversion for Grant Union, and Union’s Cole Baxter also scored a touchdown. “It was a great team ef- fort,” Miller said. “The D line was much improved this game and held their ground. Linebackers played big.” He said Reimers did a great job leading the of- fense. “So much of what we do offensively depends on our quarterback’s decision,” Miller said. “He made good decisions and got people in the right place to make plays. Our kids have done a great job of improving ev- ery week.” After the game, Deiter said he was happy with the night’s outcome and was looking forward to an aggressive state playoff game. “All our hard work this year has paid off,” he said. Grant Union ranks No. 6 for OSAA 2A teams with a 5-3 overall record. Reed- sport, which is in the 2A-4 Sunset Conference 2, ranks No. 9 with a 6-3 record.
