ROUNDUP

Heather Bowlus and Rocky
Perkins, brought a lot to the
table.
They were “phenomenal
and a great help,” Hand said,
adding Skip Inscore and John
Clark also assisted on a volun-
teer basis.
Two seniors will graduate,
but Hand said he expects every-
one else will return next season,
along with two freshmen.
“All the kids worked hard
and stuck with it,” Hand said.
“We’ll miss Cade Milton — he
brings good leadership, men-
tality of football and is a force
to reckon with — and Gabe
Walker-Hopkins was tough as
nails.”
Grant Union cross
country teams
race in Pendleton
The Kyle Burnside Wild-
horse Invite Thursday in Pend-
leton gave Grant Union’s boys
and girls runners a chance to
see most of the league compe-
tition.
“We had some outstanding
improvements at the meet,”
said Grant Union head coach
Sonna Smith.
On the girls side, Erika
Dickens and Makenna Culley
shaved over a minute off their
time, and Samantha Buck-
haults also set a personal re-
cord.
For the boys, Jacob Smith,
Tanner Elliott and Braden
Spencer set season records.
Coach Smith said they’ll
have enough runners to com-
pete as a team for both boys and
girls for Saturday’s 3A/2A/1A
Special District 3 meet. The
boys will race at 3 p.m., girls
at 3:30 p.m. at Pendleton Com-
munity Park.
The Grant Union boys mid-
dle school team finished third
at the Eastern Oregon Junior
High Cross Country Champi-
onships last Friday in Pendle-
ton. Two Grant Union middle
school girls also raced.
Grant Hall placed 10th,
setting a personal record with
a time of 11:39.9, and of the
seventh-grade boys, he fin-
ished first.
“In the boys division ev-
ery one of our runners except
one set their season’s best at
districts,” coach Smith said.
“Their ability to run tight to-
gether gave them their best fin-
ish of the season.”

The Panthers jumped ahead early in
the first set on sophomore Katie Hire’s
serving. The Mustangs tied the score
several times, and the set went into
extra points with the Panthers winning
26-24.
Crane won the next three sets, 25-
15, 25-17 and 25-17, but the scores
could have been worse if not for the
Mustangs’ poor serving. Crane had a
powerful front line, including soph-
omore Riley Davis and senior Katie
Burns.
But Hire, who went on to be named
First Team All Tournament, rose to
the occasion with several spectacular
blocks and strikes against the Mus-
tangs.
“We had a big uphill battle,” Bass
said after the game. “We competed well
and tried our hardest.”
This was Bass’ first year as a volley-
ball head coach, and she was optimistic
about next year’s team.
“We had no starting seniors this
year,” she said. “We’re in a good posi-
tion for next year.”
Tournament highlights included
Hire with 11 aces, 90 percent serving
and 20 kills; Ennis with 92 percent
serving, 18 kills and 84 percent hitting;
Emmel with 91 percent serving and
18 kills; and sophomore Caitlin Willet
with 93 percent serving and 88 percent

had the most serves for the team.
In addition to Hire being named
First Team All Tournament, Ennis
and Tiger senior Faythe Schafer were
named Second Team All Tournament,
and the Prairie City Panthers received
the Sportsmanship Award.
Jordan Valley defeated the Adrian
Antelopes in a competitive final round
3-2. Jordan Valley, Adrian and Crane
will go on to the state tournament.
