As if the lady Cardinals didn’t
provide enough excitement for
' the crowd at the Big Sky Tour
nament last Friday, Feb. 18, the
boys’ team provided some of
their own using an overtime
period to eke out a three point
victory over Wasco County
61-58, for the District champion
ship their third year in a row.
From the crowd standpoint, the
game was a nail-biter’s special.
Jots of excitement and the right
result in the end for the Ione fans.
From a coach's standpoint,
however, it may have been a bit
much. ‘‘I was wrung out like a
dishrag,” commented coach Del
LaRue.
A big sign hung on a fence on
Buttercreek said “Refuse to
Lose”, a strategy the Cardinals
apparently took to heart. After
trailing for most of the first three
quarters and by nine points to
start the fourth, the Cards pick
ed up the pieces and got back in
the thick of things just in time. At
the four minute mark, Jason Pro
udfoot put the Cards up by one
with a three pointer. From then

on, the lead changed almost every
trip down the floor. The Redsides
tied up the game on one last
bucket and when Jason Halvorsen
missed the front end of a one and
one, it was on to overtime.
The first score in overtime
came courtesy of Jake Bacon.
Bacon drove the lane and threw
in a left-handed lay-in that got the
team fired up. “That got us ex
cited,” said LaRue. Clutch free
throws provided the remainder of
the Cardinals’ points. Jared
Ashbeck hit two and Wasco came
back to tie. Halvorsen hit two and
Ashbeck added another with
seven seconds left to put away a
very deteimined Wasco County
squad.
Wasco’s big gun, Jason
LaFaver, gave the Cards fits,
scoring 32 points on the night.
Switching from a zone defense in
the second half slowed him down
some. “We got somebody in
front of him and it helped us,”
said LaRue.
For the Cards, Halvorsen led
the scoring with 19 points. Aaron
Heideman had 14 and Ashbeck
and Proudfoot each had 10. The
battle of the boards was almost
even with Ione 36 and Wasco 35.
Heideman led with 16 followed
by Halvorsen with nine and
Ashbeck with six including
several critical offensive boards
in the fourth quarter. Jim Logan
paced the team with seven assists
and Halvorsen had five steals.
Heideman blocked four shots and
Halvorsen had three.
If it seemed the Cards weren’t
shooting up to par, well, they
weren’t. After shooting in the
high 40’s and mid 50’s last
weekend, Ione struggled to 25 of
65 for 38 percent from the field.
At the line, they hit nine of 14 for
64 percent. Wasco fared slightly
better, making 22 of 53 for 42
percent from the floor and 13 of
18 for 72 percent from the line.
“The kids hung in there,”
commented LaRue. “They
wanted it bad enough and didn’t
give up. They did what they had
to do. We weren’t having a great
game but when the chips were on
the table, they came through,” he
added.

According to Medical Times
magazine, hemorrhoids (also
known as piles) occur at one time
or another in more than half of all
adults. With hemorrhoids, the
blood vessels and supporting tis

may occur inside the rectum or
outside the rectum. Enlargement
of rectal tissue results from an

What’s in this bond levy that will help avoid cuts in general fund
instructional programs (teachers, courses, activities, etc.)?
There is $2.7 million in maintenance, repair, equipment, technology, and
projects to meet state and federal requirements in this bond levy. Over the 15
year payback period, that amounts to about $180,000 per year in savings from
the general fund.
