Grant Union netters
sweep two on the road
The Grant Union Prospector
volleyball team added two more
wins Saturday for a 3-0 league re-
cord, sweeping both No. 1-ranked
Weston-McEwen and Stanfield
(No. 25) in Athena.
“The girls did an amazing job
this weekend and worked really
hard to keep their league record
undefeated,” said Grant Union
head coach Ali Abrego.
Grant
Union
defeated
Weston-McEwen with scores of
25-16, 25-21 and 25-15, then beat
Stanfield 25-10, 25-10 and 25-16.
“Kaylee Wright was a huge as-
set with her hitting ability,” Abrego
said.
“It is a pretty special thing to
watch her and her sister (Hailie
Wright) work together,” the coach
added. “They have an incredible
sense of trust with each other, and
it something you do not see every
day.”
Trinity Hutchison and Sydney
Brockway contributed defensively,
Abrego said.
The Prospectors were scheduled
to host the Union Bobcats Tuesday,
past press time.
Going up against the Union head
coach, who used to be her head
coach, would make for some “com-
petitive action,” Abrego said.
Grant Union will travel to Pilot
Rock on Saturday where they will
face Enterprise and Pilot Rock
for league matches beginning at
2 p.m.
Dayville/Monument
volleyball team wins
in Harper
The Dayville/Monument Tiger
volleyball team, 2-2 in league, made
the sweep in Harper Friday, winning
with scores of 25-16, 25-21 and 25-
17 over the Hornets.
“We did well on Friday and
worked on some of the important
skills,” said Tiger head coach Kristi
Emerson.
However, she said they fell apart
when they faced the Adrian Ante-
lopes on Saturday.
Adrian had the decisive win with
scores of 25-9, 25-7 and 25-7.
“We just weren’t as disciplined as
I hoped,” Emerson said.
She said the team would be go-
ing back to the basics of communi-
cation, trust, working on serves and
“making aggressive plays to execute
the game.”
She said they need to learn to pull
through the tough moments.
“It’s still early in the season,” she
said. “It was tough, but we learned
a lot and learned what we need to
work on.”
Emerson noted they are down to
just seven players on the Tiger team.
Dayville/Monument will travel
to the Wheeler Tournament in Fossil
Saturday where they will face Con-
don/Wheeler at 11 a.m. and Trinity
Lutheran at 12:30 p.m. in nonleague
competition.
The Tigers meet up with the Burnt
River Bulls at 5 p.m. Tuesday, Oct.
2, in Unity and host Grant Union
junior varsity at 5 p.m. Wednesday,
Oct. 3.
Dayville/Monument will host
Jordan Valley for a Dig Pink Rally,
to support breast cancer awareness
and causes, at 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct.
6, in Dayville.
Dayville/Monument
gridders fall to
Harper in road game
The Dayville/Monument Tigers
experienced a 13-66 loss to the
Harper Hornets Friday on the road.
Tiger quarterback Donovan Scha-
fer threw two touchdown passes in
the game, connecting with JT Hand
and Gabe Walker-Hopkins.
“They’re one of the better six-
man teams in the state,” Tiger head
coach Kyle Hand said.
Hand said, even though the Hor-
nets were a lot more physical, he
felt the talent from both teams was
equal.
“Gabe forced a fumble on a Harp-
er running back,” he said. “A lot of
times we were in the right spots but
couldn’t make the tackle.”
The Tigers will face Mitchell/
Spray/Wheeler at 2 p.m. Friday in
Spray.
“We’re really optimistic,” Hand
said. “We should come out with the
‘W.’”
Grant Union cross
country athletes set
personal records
The Grant Union Prospector
cross country boys finished sixth out
of eight at Friday’s Footrace to Val-
halla in Umatilla.
Among the league teams racing,
Grant Union was third, running the
5K on a course that included wood
chips, grass, gravel and the Umatilla
High School track.
The Grant Union girls team fin-
ished fifth out of five.
“We had everyone set a season
best, except one athlete,” said Grant
Union head coach Sonna Smith.
It was the first time Grant Union
had a full girls varsity team compet-
ing.
Prospector junior Erika Dickens
was the top finisher for the girls, set-
ting a season record of 23:39.3, plac-
ing 12th out of 38 runners.
Ellie Justice also set a season
record, and Rylee Browning, Tiler
Voigt, Makenna Culley and Saman-
tha Buckhaults set personal records.
Junior Mason Gerry was the top
runner for the Grant Union boys,
setting a personal record with a time
of 19:35.2, placing 23rd out of 60
runners.
Jacob Smith, Jesse Randleas and
Donavan Smith also set personal
records, and Tanner Elliott, Gage
Brandon and Braden Spencer set
season records.
Smith added, “Our middle school
boys did excellent and finished sec-
ond as a team with Grant Hall finish-
ing fourth overall.”
Hall, a seventh-grader, ran the
1.5-mile race in a time of 8:59.7,
fourth out of 38 runners.
Long Creek/Ukiah
volleyball loses two
The Long Creek/Ukiah junior
varsity volleyball team suffered a
close loss to Mitchell/Spray Friday
in Long Creek with scores of 21-25,
22-25 and 18-25.
Long Creek/Ukiah lost to Adrian
on Saturday, 1-3, with scores of 22-
25, 25-15, 18-25 and 15-25.
