Beth’s Buddies walk together for final time Mustangs beat Tigers 28-8
Twenty one walk
ers from lone enjoyed a
sometimes drizzly day in
Portland to participate in
the 2010 Juvenile Diabe
tes Research Foundation
(JDRF) Walk to Cure Dia
betes. Walking as members
of the team, Beth’s Buddies,
for the final time, the group
raised over $3,000 for dia
betes research and had a
great time in the process.
Upon completing
the walk route, the rest of
the day included a bar
becue and rides at Oaks
Park Amusement Park. The
group took several trips
on the stomach churning
rides before adjourning to
Clackamas Town Center
for a little shopping. A stop
at Spooky’s in The Dalles
for pizza revived the group
who arrived home with
plenty of time to finish their
weekend homework.

Cardinals defeat Condon/
Wheeler 56-14
The lone Cardinals
got back on the winning
track on the gridiron last
week, defeating Condon/
Wheeler 56-14 in a game
played on Thursday, Octo
ber 7, in lone.
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.

benefited JDRF. JDRF is a
leading research organiza
tion in the effort to find a
cure for Type 1 diabetes.
Great strides have been
made in diabetes treatments
in the past decade or two
Mustangs begin winding

but a cure remains elusive.
Beth’s Buddies are
still collecting donations
for JDRF until November
1. For more information,

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.”

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

at the “Dig Pink” Tourna
ment Saturday in Stanfield.
In pool play, the Cards de
feated Pendleton JV 20-9,

Qne spot from their pool,

to Pendleton JV 22-25, 29-

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.
