M ark Lemmon. “ Every
eligible wrestler gets an
equal opportunity to com
pete. Clayton came out with
no experience and learned
what it feels like to win the
first time he stepped on the
mat. He simply outworked
his opponent and pinned
him in the third round when
the score was 9-10. It was
an exciting match. The
whole team was on their
feet cheering for him.”
O ther M ustangs
picking up first of the sea
son wins were sophomores
Jacob M oore and Earl
Propheter.
“With only one se
nior and two juniors, this
was a tough tournament
to start the season,” Coach
Lemmon went on to say,
“but I was very pleased with
the composure and attitude
of every one of our wres
tlers. We will only get better
as the season progresses.”
The Mustangs next
compete Friday and Satur
day at the largest annual
w restling tournam ent in
Eastern Oregon, the Muil-
lenberg Tournament in La
Grande.
Lady Cards kick off
basketball season
T he lo n e Lady
Cardinals kicked off their
2010-2011 campaign with
a weekend split at their
home tournament, the lone
Basketball Bonanza.
The Cards didn’t
look like a team playing
their first game of the new
season, especially a team
dealing with an abbreviated
practice schedule due to
volleyball success and snow
days. The team moved the
ball well and kept the turn
overs to a manageable level,
actually tallying more steals
(18) than turnovers (17) in
the contest. Playing River
side, the Cards never trailed
in the game, taking a 12-9
first quarter lead and build
ing it to a 23-13 halftime
lead. The Lady Cards were
able to keep that same 10
point cushion until late in
the fourth. Riverside closed
the gap to a seven point
margin midway through the
fourth but lone held on for
the 36-28 win.
S h ad o w K e n d
rick led all scorers with 14
points. Beth Morter tallied

a double-double with 13
points and 11 rebounds.
She also had seven steals.
Joanna Patton grabbed 11
rebounds and M akenna
Ramos had four assists.
“It was a good start
to our season,” said head
coach, Mike Garrett. “We
passed well and controlled
the interior of the key. When
we came out, we looked re
ally good.”
On Saturday, the
opponent was an aggressive
Enterprise team and the
game was close the whole
way. Shadow Kendrick’s
three pointer at the first
quarter buzzer pulled the
Lady Cards to within one
point but they trailed the
Outlaws, 9-10. A back and
forth second quarter ended
with lone trailing by the
same margin, 15-16. Enter
prise led 23-21 heading into
the fourth quarter and after
breaking the Cardinal press
a time or two, it looked
like they might pull away,
leading by six points with a
minute left to play. Joanna
Patton completed a three-
point play with a basket
and a free throw to pull lone
within three. Enterprise
stole the ball and scored
with 10 seconds remaining
and the Lady Cardinals ran
out o f time and chances,
losing the game, 33-29.
“It was a good hard
fought game,” said Coach
Mike Garrett. “Although
I’m disappointed with the
loss, I thought the week
end was a good start to our
season.”
“We had too many
turnovers though,” said
G arrett, noting that his
team doubled their turnover
output from the previous
night.
Joanna Patton led
the team in scoring with 10
points. Shadow Kendrick
added nine. Beth Morter
had six points including
four o f four free throw
shooting along with 11
rebounds, four assists and
three steals. Joanna Pat
ton added nine rebounds, 1
blofk and 2 steals.
The next outing in
the young season will find
the Lady Cardinals taking
on Crane at the Heppner
Tournament on Friday, De
cember 10.
