B8 SPORTS Blue Mountain Eagle Boys Continued from Page B1 He said they still have some positions to fill on the team. “We’re still trying to determine who those players are, and that won’t be deter- mined for some time,” he said. He said they were fortunate to have the Player of the Year on their team the past two years. “We were blessed then, and we’re blessed now with some good, skilled play- ers,” he said. All five seniors, Deiter, McKinley, Car- son McKay, Opie McDaniel and Kaden Madden, have a united purpose. “Our goal is winning league again and making it back to the state tournament,” Deiter said. McDaniel said he’s hopeful for that third consecutive year back at the tourna- ment in Baker City. “We’ve got a little height, speed and good shooting,” he said. Madden said he’s looking forward to a fun season. “We hope to bring a good game of bas- ketball to the home crowd,” McKay added. “I want to get to the state game,” McKinley said. “The first step is to win districts.” He said the team’s camaraderie is fac- toring in to what he feels will be a success- ful season. “We have good team chemistry — and we get along well,” he said. The Eagle/Angel Carpenter Prairie City Panther Tanner Way pushes his way past Opie McDaniel to the basket in practice. In back are Kaden Madden and head coach Bo Workman. Prairie City will face nine teams in the 1A-8 High Desert League this season, including the Dayville/Monument Tigers, Long Creek/Ukiah Mountain Lions, Jor- dan Valley Mustangs, Adrian Antelopes, Wednesday, November 27, 2019 Crane Mustangs, Harper Hornets, Hun- tington Locomotives, Burnt River Bulls and Four Rivers Falcons. “It’s anybody’s trophy,” Bo Workman said. “It’s going to be a fight. These guys have been so successful the last few years. Everyone is hoping to get them.” He said their tough preseason starts with their first game against Joseph on the road at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Dec. 6. The coach also expects some challeng- ing competition at the Dec. 12-14 Bad- ger Tournament in North Powder. He said games against the Sherman Huskies and Horizon Christian/Hood River Hawks, two teams that made it to state last year, will be tough. “There will be some good competi- tion,” he said. “Expectations are always hopeful.” Mike Workman added the Joseph Eagles and Imbler Panthers are two teams that were young yet successful last year. He added the Panthers won’t have their first home game until Jan. 10, when they host the Echo Cougars. Mike said they have some young guards who need to gain the experience to become “game-ready.” “Our guard play has to step up and play well,” he said. He added, the team is conditioning every night with a lot of individual instruc- tion as the season goes on. “You mold more team concept, and you just add things as the season progresses,” he said. “It’s not how you start the season. It’s how you finish.” PRAIRIE CITY BOYS BASKETBALL SCHEDULE Dec. 6: @ Joseph, 7:30 p.m. Dec. 7: @ Imbler in Joseph, 1:30 p.m. Dec. 14: @ Badger Tournament vs. Bickleton (WA) in North Powder, 7:30 p.m. Dec. 15: @ Badger Tournament vs. St. Paul in North Powder, 3:00 p.m. Dec. 20: @ Sherman in Moro, 6 p.m. Dec. 21: @ Horizon Christian/Hood River, 5:30 p.m. Dec. 30: @ Crane, 6:30 p.m. Jan. 3: @ Imbler, 7:30 p.m. Jan. 4: vs. Cove, 3:30 p.m. Jan. 10: vs. Echo, 7:30 p.m. Jan. 17: vs. Dayville/Monument, 7:30 p.m. Jan. 18: vs. Ukiah/Long Creek, 3:30 p.m. Jan. 25: vs. Jordan Valley, 3:30 p.m. Jan. 31: @ Huntington, 7:30 p.m. Feb. 1: vs. Four Rivers, 3:30 p.m. Feb. 7: @ Harper, 6:30 p.m. Feb 8: @ Dayville/Monument in Dayville, 3:30 p.m. Feb. 14: @ Adrian, 6:30 p.m. Feb. 15: vs. Crane, 3:30 p.m. Feb. 20 — 22: High Desert League District Tourna- ment, John Day Feb. 26: 1st Round State Playoffs Feb. 29: 2nd Round State Playoffs March 4-7: State Championship, Baker City WEEK 12 OF 13 • IT’S EASY • IT’S FREE • IT’S FUN! 14.Redskins vs Panthers Broasted Chicken, Pizza & Burgers Seth and Dawn were tied with 12 correct picks going into overtime.
