Prospector boys
fall to Hilanders
in nonleague
road game
The Grant Union Pros-
pector boys suffered a 11-1
loss to the Burns Hilanders
on the road Tuesday, May
2, in nonleague baseball ac-
tion.
The score was 4-1, go-
ing into the sixth inning, and
Burns was able to seal a 10-
run win.
Grant Union head coach
Dusty Williams said, after a
junior varsity game in Bak-
er City Monday, they were
running short on the pitch
count.
“We had to change pitch-
ers up, and had some er-
rors,” he said of the Burns
game. “We just didn’t play
very well and left guys on
base.”
Williams said the Burns
infi eld is fast with the grass
cut short and the ground
hard.
“They just gotta keep
working hard and adjust
to the fi eld conditions,” he
said.
The Prospectors now pre-
pare to host Weston-McEw-
en Saturday at Malone Field
for their fi nal league double-
header of the season.
Grant Union is currently
ranked No. 27 (4-10) in the
2A/1A Special District 6,
while Weston-McEwen is
No. 19 (5-6).
Last week, the Prospec-
tors won four league games,
two against Heppner and
two against Union.
“It would be nice to win
six league games in a row,”
Williams said.

Moulton made the outs in
the fourth, including a strike-
out, and Grant Union sailed
away with six more runs in the
bottom of the inning.
The Ravens scored one
more in the fi fth, the Prospec-
tors taking the 10-run win.
Nash said they “had their
moments” in game two.
“We didn’t hit quite as
well,” she said, adding some
clutch hits were made when
they needed them.
Elgin got off on the right
foot in the fi rst inning with two
runs, and Grant Union came
back in the bottom of the inning
with Moulton’s one-run homer.
The Prospectors regained
strength in the bottom of the
second to take a 4-2 lead, and
took it from there, Madden
holding the Ravens to two runs
in the game.
“We drew fewer walks
during this game, so the scoring
was a little less spectacular, but
overall, we are back hitting well
1 through 9 in the lineup,” Nash
said. “We had strong efforts by
both pitchers and solid defense
through the two games, includ-
ing three double plays and two
put outs on base hits when run-
ners tried to stretch their single
into a double.”
As the 3A Special District
2 playoffs approach, Nash said
they would know more about
how things will go on Tuesday,
May 9, when Enterprise faces
Burns in Burns.

Nash said if they win both
games against Enterprise on
Friday, May 12, in Enterprise,
they may host a playoff game
on Tuesday, May 16. At this
point, they’re unsure of the
outcome if they split wins with
Enterprise, she said.
Grant Union has a 5-3
league record, 16-5 overall, and
is ranked No. 10, while Enter-
prise has a 4-2 record, 7-5 over-

Union has scored 271 runs in a
total of 21 games, and allowed
101 runs, while Enterprise has
scored 121 runs in a total of 12
games, and allowed 80 runs.
Nash said they’re looking
forward to the games against
Enterprise where it will be im-
portant for them to stay “men-
tally ready.”
Prospectors Madden and
Walker had a positive outlook
after Friday’s wins.
“I think our team has the
most potential that I’ve seen
since my freshman year,” Mad-
den said.
Walker added, “I think if we
keep playing our game, we’ll
make it — we’ll defi nitely
prove who we are.”

In the 100, he fi nished fi fth
with a time of 12.62, and he
was fourth in the 200, fi nishing
with a time of 25.63. He record-
ed 16-09 in the long jump for
fi fth place.
Prairie City head coach
Nate Barber said he was en-
couraged by his athletes’ per-
formances during Thursday’s
meet, the day offering up a lot
of sunshine and some breezes.
“All the girls did better
in their 100s,” he said. “The
wind didn’t help the throwers,
but our sprinters did a lot bet-
ter and really went after it.”
Barber said he was glad for
the opportunity to compete
with many of their district
competitors.
“We do have some kids
that are ranked right there
for district, plus it gives them
confi dence to see that they’re
competing right there with
them,” he said. “We’re getting
ready, knowing what we need
to change.”
Highlights from the Prairie
City girls team include Taci
Perrenoud, who set personal
records in both the 200-meter
dash (14.24) for fourth place
and the long jump (12-09.50)
for fourth place.
“I think we’ve done really
well,” she said of the meet.
“It’s exciting to have our last
home meet, and we’re getting
ready to close in on our sea-
son.”
For the boys, Jake McHat-
ton lengthened his throw in
the javelin (78-03) for 12th
place and shot put (33-05) for
10th.
Long Creek’s Ya-Chi
Hsueh set personal records for
the girls team in three events,
including the 100 (14.58) for
fi fth place, the 200 (31.09) for
sixth and the triple jump (26-
0) for fourth.
For the Long Creek boys,
Nathan Galmiche improved
his triple jump, earning sec-
ond place with 37-02.50.

This time Nathan Gal-
miche set a personal record
in triple jump, breaking the
school record with a mark
of 36-01. The previous re-
cord was 35-08. This was
only the second time Gal-
miche has competed in the
triple jump. Studtmann said
she’d been trying since the
beginning of the season to
have her athletes try the tri-
ple jump, and she was glad
Galmiche went for it.
Jerry Zhang of Long
Creek also beat the 2004 re-
cord of 74-0 in discus with
a throw of 82-00.75.
For the Long Creek
girls, Gladys Johnson and
Lorrayne Costa each set

What I like best about my sport: “You get to hang
out with your friends, and there is not as much
pressure to beat other people, it’s more competing
against yourself.”
Coach’s Comment: “He performs well and has set
personal records in at least one event at
every meet. He’s a valuable asset to our
team, and we are looking forward to
watching his continued growth and
improvement over his high school
