A10 Sports Blue Mountain Eagle Wednesday, October 25, 2017 S PORTS R OUNDUP Ukiah/Long Creek wins last three games The Ukiah/Long Creek girls won their last three vol- leyball matches of the sea- son.

The team then defeated the Huntington Locomotives in four sets, 18-25, 25-10, 25-9 and 25-15. The girls traveled to Unity on Oct. 18 where they defeat- ed Burnt River in three sets, 25-13, 25-17 and 25-22. “The girls played very well together and had excel- lent attitudes,” coach Linda Studtmann said. “I’ve en- joyed being their coach this year, alongside Reagan En- riquez.” Ashley said. “We tried some new things, but we had some breakdowns defensively.” Ashley said the Redsides ran a pretty good counter that confused his players, and South Wasco had a good quar- terback who was “pretty fast.” Ashley noted that some Tiger players are completely new to tackle football. “They’re learning a little more each game,” he said. Monument/Dayville will face Prairie City at 1 p.m. Fri- day in Monument. “It’s the last game of the season,” Ashley said. “Ev- eryone usually gets fired up about that.” Barber said after a tough loss away at Adrian/Jordan Valley on Oct. 20. “They suited up 28 play- ers to our 13, and they had 10 seniors to our none,” he said about the 72-6 loss. Barber noted, in the last play of the game, freshman Panther wide receiver Jojari Field pulled in a long pass for a touchdown. This is Barber’s first year as head coach at Prairie City. He was an assistant coach last year. “We expect to do much better next year,” he said. The Panthers are now 0-4 in league and 0-8 overall. Next up is a Friday game in Monument at 1 p.m. against the Dayville/Monument Ti- gers, who are playing as a JV team this season. “This should be a clos- er match-up,” Barber said. “We’ll have a better opportu- nity to pull out a victory.” going, especially at the end of the match. I was particularly proud of our girls for adjust- ing to tips on defense and for coming back from being down late in the second and third sets.” The Prospectors were down 16-20 in the second set and came back to win 25-20. “Sydney Brockway had a tremendous serving run to fin- ish out that set on a nine-point run,” Speth said. Brockway, a junior, tallied nine kills, six aces and 15 digs in the match. The Grant Union girls found themselves down 21-24 in the third set, and came back to win 27-25. “The girls never let up and were relentless on defense,” Speth said. “This shows their confidence, ability and deter- mination to win close sets and come from behind.” Senior Prospector Mariah Moulton racked up 13 kills, one block assist and 16 digs against Burns. Junior Kaylee Wright notched 12 kills, three aces, two solo blocks and three block assists. Junior set- ter Hailie Wright tallied three kills, 34 assists, one block as- sist and 11 digs.
