in the third quarter.
Starting senior quarter-
back Garrett Lenz scored
in the opening moments of
the game, and sophomore
Taylor Hunt also scored a
touchdown run in the second
quarter.
Sophomores Devon Stokes
and Jordan Hall and freshman
Parker Neault snagged inter-
ceptions in the shutout.
The Prospectors led 44-0
going into halftime, and
younger Grant Union players
took the field for most of the
second half, including fresh-
man quarterback Maverick
Miller.
Grant Union rushed for
422 yards. Lenz connected
with Russell Hodge on a 33-
yard pass, and Miller threw
to Tanler Fuller for a 19-yard
pass.
Prospector head coach Ja-
son Miller said his starters
performed well in the first
half.
“They did exactly what
they were asked to do, so it
was a great game all around,”
he said. “Defense came up
big with some turnovers, and
offense just marched the ball
down the field. There were no
big mistakes there.”
The coach said he’s been
pleased with Lenz throughout
the season.
“Garrett Lenz has done a
great job as a leader for us,
both on and off the field, by
doing it the right way and tell-
ing other guys how to do it the
right way,” he said.
Lenz said he was happy
with how the defense gave the
push Grant Union ahead
going down the stretch.
Kaylee Wright led

aces. Brockway had nine
kills and two aces, Trini-

A sighting of “Bigfoot”
along the Idlewild Invitational
course at a campground near
Burns on Saturday was a thrill
for cross country competitors,
but an even bigger thrill for the
Grant Union Prospectors was
seeing their middle school boys

Grant Union seventh-grad-
er Grant Hall earned a sec-
ond-place medal with a time of
11:55 in the 3,000-meter race,
and eighth-grader Brady Dole
earned a fourth-place medal
and set a personal record with

ished 20th out of 50 with a time
of 20:48.

cluded senior Braden Spencer

Dayville/
Monument
volleyball falls
to Crane in final
league contest
The Dayville/Monument
Tigers volleyball team pushed
Crane to four sets on Saturday
in Monument, but the Mus-
tangs claimed the win with
scores of 26-24, 13-25, 25-18
and 25-14.
Tiger head coach Kris-
ti Emerson said Crane has a
solid team. She said her team
had some great volley sets and
served well.
She added that freshman
Aubreianna Osborne made
some exciting blocks.
The younger players joined
in for a junior varsity game
against Long Creek/Ukiah lat-
er that day.
Dayville/Monument took a
25-15, 25-17, 21-25 and 25-23
victory.
“It was good for the young-
er kids to play, and they played
the entire time,” Emerson
said. “I’m very proud of them.
They’re coming right along.”
Long Creek/Ukiah head
coach Linda Studtmann said
her team had hoped to win the
fourth set but “couldn’t quite
keep the pace.”
Studtmann said she was en-
couraged the team “didn’t give
up and kept trying right up to
the end.”
“It was a good day — chal-
lenging but fun,” she said.

Long Creek/
Ukiah JV beats
Crane JV 2-1
Long Creek/Ukiah junior
varsity head coach Linda
Studtmann said her team was
thrilled with their 2-1 win over
the Crane Mustangs on Satur-
day in Monument.
The Mountaineer/Cougars
lost the first set 20-25 but
made a comeback to win the
final sets 25-14 and 15-8.
Studtmann said she had to
juggle players around with one
starter out with an injury.
“They’re getting used to the
new line-up and responding
well to each other as a team,”
she said.
Studtmann said she has
seen improvements in the play-
ers but is identifying areas to
work on.
“Team spirit has been high
this year, and that makes our
job as coaches easier,” Studt-
mann said.

Last week, the Panthers had
one win and two losses on the
road.
On Tuesday, Oct. 9, most of
the Prairie City team saw play-
ing time against Burnt River,
rolling to a 25-19, 25-10 and
25-16 win.
Assistant coach Louanne
Zweygardt said they “saw some
big improvements in game situ-
ation confidence” in the match.
Prairie City faced Adrian in
Unity on Thursday, falling 3-1
to the Antelopes.
The Panthers’ serving was
92 percent with Hailee Wall,
Rilee Emmel and Samantha
Workman all serving 100 per-
cent.
Emily Ennis led with 11
kills for Prairie City, and Rilee
Emmel had nine kills.
“Offensively we played
well,” Zweygardt said. “Our
defense broke down a little,
which gave Adrian the edge.”
Saturday, Prairie City faced
the Jordan Valley Mustangs on
the road. The Mustangs made
the sweep with scores of 25-19,
25-13 and 25-18.
Samantha Workman served
100 percent, and Rilee Emmel
had seven kills.
Long Creek/Ukiah soccer
player Mathéo Buchart scored
2 points in his team’s 6-2 loss
to Riverside Pirates Oct. 10 in
Long Creek.
Although it was a loss, the
team made strides compared
with their last meeting with the
Pirates when they lost 11-0 on
Oct. 2 in Boardman.
“We had much improved re-
sults,” said Long Creek/Ukiah
head coach Amos Studtmann.
“My team put in more effort
than I’ve seen so far this sea-
son. When you get beat one
time, you have to go back and
just keep playing the ball.”
He said his goalie Sitong
“Tiger” Zeng made a couple
impressive stops. Team captain
Ricardo Peña showed leader-
ship on the field, Studtmann
said.
Studtmann said his team is
looking forward to hosting the
Nyssa Bulldogs at 3:30 p.m.
Thursday in Long Creek.
“They’re pretty fired up
now,” he said.

REWARD
A reward we’re anxious to pay. Again last year, several nice mule deer bucks
and elk were killed and left to rot on our ranch – and that’s only what we found.
Please help us catch trespassers and poachers who have no respect for private
property rights and who give all hunters a bad name. If you legally wound an
animal that comes onto any of our property, please come to ranch headquarters
at Bridge Creek and we will help you find and clean it at no charge. Otherwise,
do not go onto our property unless accompanied by a Silvies Valley Ranch team
member. We will press charges, sue for damages, and are actively patrolling our
property with ATVs, by horseback, and videocams.
