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.

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,

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.”
