On Condon’s first possession, Micah Stillman took advantage of a Knight fumble to run it back for a 32 yard score. The point after was good. Condon/ Wheeler came right back and answered, tying up the game at 8-8. But after that, the Cardinals got moving, scoring 22 points in the first and second quarter to take a commanding 44-14 lead at the half. The Knights did not score in the second half as lone rolled 56-14. “It was a game we had to have,” said Coach Dennis Stefani. “We needed to have a victory” after a couple of tough league losses. The team had found out in the past week that they were still in the playoff hunt after previously think ing that only the top two teams would advance. The team needs league wins to stay in contention. The Cardinals air attack took a hit in the second quarter when quar terback Zac Orem left the game with a dislocated shoulder. Tanner Rietmann continued his role as all- around, all-purpose player by taking over the duties. Besides leading the team in rushing with 209 yards on 16 carries, he also led the team in tackles with 17, seven of those solo efforts. The Cardinals won the game on the ground, tallying 518 yards rush ing. Alex Rietmann added 155 yards on nine carries and Micah Stillman had 81 yards on eight carries. The Knights also kept the ball mainly on the ground, gaining 264 yards on 52 carries. Defensively, Mi cah Stillman had 15 tack les (five solo) and Marco Juarez had 11 (seven solo.) Jordan Snyder blocked his second punt of the season which the Knights recov ered in the endzone for an lone safety. Despite the team being a “little dinged up,” Coach Stefani was encour aged to see the Cards get a handle on the turnovers that had been hurting them in earlier games. The Cardinals head out on a road trip this Fri day, trekking over the Cas cades to play McKenzie. Game time is 6 p.m. tember where the proceeds benefited JDRF. JDRF is a leading research organiza tion in the effort to find a cure for Type 1 diabetes.

Beth’s Buddies are still collecting donations for JDRF until November 1. For more information, contact Anne Morter at 541 - 422-7429. Lady Cardinals remain successful The lone Lady Cardinals finished another successful week of volley ball with an important win against Condon/Wheeler on Thursday night and a fun outing at the Dig Pink Tournament on Saturday. On Thursday, Oc tober 7, the Condon/Wheel er Knight came to town and the Lady Cardinals were looking to even the score. Down three starters earlier m the season, the Cards lost to the Knights in three. But on a roll as of late, lone wanted to make a statement. The team looked nervous in the early go ing, matching the Knights mistake for mistake. Down 17-22, the team took a hit when middle hitter Beth Morter, went down with an injury but the Lady Cards dug in to rally for the 27-25 first game win, punctuated with a Makenna Ramos ace on the winning point. With the Knights’ spirit bruised and maybe broken, the Cardinals rolled to wins in games two and three, 25-14, 25-18. Coach Dawn Eynetich was pleased to take the win. “The girls were able to get back into it,” she said of the first game. “They kept their in tensity and momentum and I’m really proud of that.” THE WILLOW CREEK TEA PARTY Says YOUR VOTE MAHERS! The Upcoming Election is very important for our state and our country WE SAY VOTE! Joanna Patton had a strong effort at the net with seven kills and four blocks. Mary Rietmann added five kills and Makenna Ramos was 16-16 serving with two aces. Coach Eynetich also noted improved play from other team members. “Col lette Cason came in and played phenomenal. She re ally stepped up to the plate and Shadow Kendrick’s hits have really come on in the last week.” Decked out in pink and promoting breast can cer awareness, the Lady Cardinals had a fun outing at the “Dig Pink” Tourna ment Saturday in Stanfield. In pool play, the Cards de feated Pendleton JV 20-9, 20-17 and followed up with a 20-7, 20-12 win over Echo. Moving into bracket play in the number Qne spot from their pool, lone took care of Sherman 25-16, 25-10 before falling to Pendleton JV 22-25, 29- 31. Once again, the team was reconfigured during the day to deal with injuries and girls out taking the SAT test. “So far, we’ve been able to make it work,” noted Coach Eynetich. The schedule for the present week includes a trip to Helix on Tuesday and another road trip to Maupin to take on South Wasco County on Friday.
