Their pre-season has consisted of Heppner, Wallowa and Pilot Rock. Opening up the year with Heppner, Thursday, September 4, the team had tense pre-game jitters; however, the girls were ready to play and it showed with their enthusiasm on and off the court. Coach Charity McElligott has seniors Brenda Burright, Kara Miller and Jenny Sullivan, juniors Niki Sullivan and Katie Tworek and sophomores Camie Bumght and Nikki McElligott on her varsity squad, and sopho mores Enn Crowell and Brandi Brantley floating between varsity and JV. With Katie Tworek out of action due to injury, Nikki McElligott stepped into the back row position while Kara Miller and Brenda Burright shared setting duties. lone's noisy birds averaged 98 percent serving as a team with Camie Bumght, Brenda Burright and Kara Miller hitting 100 percent from behind the line, while Jenny and Niki Sullivan hit 99 percent for the match that went two games but took almost two hours to complete. Camie Bumght beat out Nikki McElligott by one with 10 spikes, while Niki Sullivan had seven and Kara Miller and Jenny Sullivan each had six. The first game ended 15-11. The second game had the Cards down 14 to 9 before they picked up their momentum and came back to win, 17-15. Both games saw good volleys, player communication and excellent serving by the Cards. Following the big night in Heppner, the Lady Cardinals hosted the Wallowa Cougars in the Cardinal Roost on Friday night, September 5. The Lady Cards started off well, but due to tired limbs and a very good opponent, lone's smaller, younger team was no match for the powerful highly ranked cats from Eastern Oregon, and lone fell short in two. lone kept their excellent serving streak going but couldn't capitalize with killing points. Brenda Burright and Kara Miller shared setting highs with 14 and 17 respectively, and Brenda and Camie Bumght had four and five blocks to their credit. Camie led with seven spikes and Niki Sullivan was right behind her with six. The match went to two games and the final scores were 8-15 and 6-15 in Wallowa's favor. The third pre-season match-up had the Cardinals traveling to Pilot Rock to take on the 2A Rockets on Tuesday, September 9. Pilot Rock couldn't get their game going in the first match and lone won it, 15-1. With Brandi Brantley stepping up to serve seven points, Kara Miller, six, and Brenda Bumght and Niki Sullivan each scoring one, the Cardinals continued their excellent serving. Erin Crowell and Jenny Sullivan scored five and seven points, with Brenda adding one and Nikki McElligott, two, to take the second match, 15-8. Thursday, September 11, Heppner came for a return match against the Cardinals, meeting them in lone. Again lone had excellent serving from its players, with Brenda Burright scoring 13 points for the match that went three games. Kara Miller scored 10 points. Nikki McElligott and Camie Burright each had seven, Jenny Sullivan, five, and Niki Sullivan, two, for 96 percent serving throughout. Camie Bumght, Niki Sullivan W eb P ages H eppner G aze pee 676-9228 and Nikki McElligott each had seven spikes, and Miller led the setting with 29, while Brenda Bumght was right behind her with 28. The scores were lone, 15-12, 16-18 and 15-9. On Saturday September 13, the varsity netters traveled to Wahtonka for the Eagles' annual tournament. Also competing were the Condon Blue Devils, Dufur Rangers and the hosts, Wahtonka Eagles. The first game put lone against the always-strong Rangers. The Cards were uncustomarily quiet as they took the floor and their serving was lackluster compared to their previous week's games. Nikki McElligott scored seven points, Camie Bumght and Jenny Sullivan, two, and Kara Miller and Niki Sullivan one for the 13- 15 loss. The second game was not much better for the Cards, with Nikki McElligott, Brenda Burright and Niki Sullivan making one point each, while Jenny Sullivan and Camie Burright scored three each and Kara Miller just one for a game score of 11-15. lone faced the tough Big Sky East Condon team in their second pairing. Condon brought the largest bench and substituted frequently. The Cardinals began to look and play more like their noisy selves, but the serving still lacked the power shown earlier in the pre-season match-ups. lone dispatched Condon 15-5 behind Jenny Sullivan's eight points, Brenda Burright's four, Niki Sullivan's two and McElligott's one. In the second game of the set, Condon picked up the tempo, but lone pulled ahead to win it 15- 13. Niki Sullivan served three, Kara Miller, six, Nikki McElligott, two, Brenda Burright, three and Camie Burright, one, for the win. The third and final match was against the 2A Eagles. By this time, the Cards were loud and raucous and took the floor looking for the win and the tournament first-place trophy. Erin Crowell stepped up and put the first two points on the board for lone and they were on their way to a 15-4 win. Jenny Sullivan scored three, while Niki Sullivan and Kara Miller each added one. McElligott hit a streak and scored six in a row for a total of eight from her and put over the win. The second game was a repeat, with a final score, 15-4, in favor of lone. Brenda Bumght went on a scoring spree this time and put over seven in a row for a total of eight for the game. Niki Sullivan had three points, Jenny Sullivan, two, Kara Miller and Nikki McElligott, one, and the tournament was over, with lone declared the winner by a tiebreaker. Brenda Burright was one of the six girls named to the All- Tournament Team, along with Molly Durfey from Condon, Amanda Lindell and Amy Sawyer from Dufur and Shawna Kyar and Katie Lewis from Wahtonka. This marks the first time that lone has won the tournament in the several years they have been invited to participate. lone traveled to Echo to face the Cougars on Tuesday, Sept. 16, then the Lady Cardinals will travel to Maupin on Friday, Sept. 19, to play the South Wasco County Redsides.

After a scoreless defensive first quarter, Weston-McEwen recov ered a Mustang fumbled punt at H eppner’s 19 yard line. The TigerScots marched down to the four yard line and scored on a run ning play with 4:39 left in the half. The conversion pass attempt failed and Weston-McEwen led, 6 - 0 . The Mustangs mounted a good drive after the kick-off to take the ball deep into TigerScot territory, giving up the ball on downs. Freshman Ryan Matteson com pleted passes to freshman Nick Anthony for first downs twice to keep the drive going. With 10 seconds left in the half, freshman Craig Scott intercepted a pass and returned it 65 yards for a touchdown. Sophomore Clint Bellamy ran the ball in for the two point conversion and at halftime, the Mustangs were ahead, 8-6. In the third quarter, the Mus tangs’ defense came up with a goal line stand to keep Weston- McEwen from scoring. Heppner took over at their own one foot line, but a fumble in the end zone was recovered by the TigerScots. The conversion pass attempt failed and Weston-McEwen held a 12-8 lead with 2:06 left in the third quarter. The M ustangs had a final chance late in the fourth period after M atteson recovered a fumble near midfield. Scott car ried the ball 15 yards for a first down with about two minutes left. The TigerScots held from there and the M ustang^ last pass completion came up short on a questionable spot. The Mustang JV'team played the Wahtonka JV team on Mon day, Sept. 15.
