The lone Lady Car dinals put the icing on a perfect season by taking home the state champion trophy from last weekend’s OSAA State Volleyball Tournament held at Pacific University in Forest Grove. The lone team finished the season with 32 wins and no losses. The Cards treated their loyal and supportive fans to some first-class volleyball as the tourna ment unfolded and pro vided tournament-goers a dandy five-game victory over Powder Valley for the championship. “ It h a s n ’t co m pletely sunk in yet” said Coach Dawn Eynetich. “1 have the trophy sitting here on my counter. I just look at it and think ‘wow.’” The march to the title began Friday afternoon with a match against Adrian, the number one team from the High Desert League. After a few jittery mistakes, the Cards settled in to win game one 25-13. Adrian picked it up a notch in game two and led for most of ^he game until lone tied it up at 20. Collette Cason put a kill down off a free ball and fol lowed up with another kill to put lone ahead. Shadow Kendrick took over serving with the Cards down 18-20 and held the serve all the way to game point, includ ing one key ace. Adrian got the serve back but Dominka Senkerikova killed the 25,h point to preserve the 25-21 win. Senkerikova started out game three with four of her game high six aces to give the Cardinals the early lead but Adrian never gave up, coming from be hind to steal the 25-20 win in that game and forcing game four. “In game three, we got lazy and out of sorts,” said Eynetich. “ We came out expecting to win and just couldn’t get it back.” A drian held the momentum in the early go ing of game four until Mary Rietmann took over serving with lone down 5-7. Three aces out o f six serves put the Cardinals up for good as they took the final game 25-15 to win the match. Dominika Senker ikova had 13 kills and Jo- Anna Patton had nine in the match. The win set up an 8:30 p.m. match with Ho sanna Christian of Klamath Falls. Hosanna upset St. Paul in the quarterfinals. Hosanna played tough in game one, leading most of the game. The score was tied at 7-7 and not again until 20-20. With JoAnna Patton at the service line, the Cards got three kills from Dominika Senker ikova, a kill from Shadow Kendrick and an ace from JoAnna Patton to pull away with the 25-21 win. That victory took all the wind out of Hosanna’s sails and the Cardinals cruised in the next two games 25-9,25-16 to advance to the champion ship match. JoAnna Patton had 10 kills and two blocks in the game. Dominika Sen kerikova had eight kills and two aces. “We came out and played really well, and they didn’.t,” noted Eynetich. “We were thoroughly con fident going into the 8:30 match. After playing in so many tournaments with late games, the girls are used to playing late in the evening. We played really strong.” A huge contingent o f fans from all o f south Morrow County filled the stands for the champion ship match. Anyone who had watched Powder Valley during the tourney knew that they matched up well with lone and that the match had the possibilities of a first-class showdown. “We went into the game with the mentality that we were going to enjoy the moment,” said Eynet ich. “It was our goal (go ing into the tournament) to place higher than last year and, no matter what hap pened, we were going to accomplish that.” G am e one was tight despite North Pow der’s setter struggling with a repeated two-hit call, a call that plagued almost all of the teams at the tourna ment. Powder trailed most of the game but tied it up at 19. Strong hitting from the Lady Cardinals propelled them to the 25-21 win. Even with the close score, it seemed that the Cards were in control and the possibil ity of a straight set win was possible. In game two, lone was up 18-13 and seemingly had the game in hand before the momentum noticeably swung the Badgers' way. Powder stepped up their hitting and took advantage of Cardinal mistakes to tie the game at 22 and sail on to win the match 25-23. In game three, the Badgers tied the game six times in the early going but never led. Behind some powerful hitting from Jo Anna Patton, the Lady Car dinals took the 25-16 lead. The Badgers came out determined in game four and led wire-to-wire to win 25-16, forcing the game five tie-breaker. “I could be wrong but after the win in game three, the possibility of win ning state suddenly became very real for the girls, and I think they went a little side ways,” said Eynetich. “1 told the girls we needed a quick start” said Eynetich o f the deciding game to 15. “I told them we needed to come out with a big kill.” JoAnna Patton de livered a ferocious kill on the first point to set the stage. Dominika Senker ikova followed with an ace and the Cards j umped out to an early lead, helped along by North Powder’s passing miscues. The Badgers tied the game at 9-9 but lone answered with a kill from Senkerikova along with a tip and two kills from Pat ton to take a commanding 14-9 lead. After a big block from Powder, JoAnna Pat ton perfectly tipped the ball into a gaping hole on the other side of the floor to seal the game, match, state championship and perfect season. Jo A n n a P a tto n notched 19 kills in the match along with seven tips, four blocks and two aces. Do minika Senkerikova added 11 kills. Makenna Ramos had 42 assists. The Cardinals cele brated their first state cham pionship since 1999.

They faced the North Douglas Warriors from the Mountain View Conference (MVC), who finished second in their own league with a 19-5 record. It took the M us tangs five sets to defeat the Warriors and advance to the semi-finals. There, they played their second game against the number-one ranked team in the tourna ment and MVC champions, the Days Creek Wolves (24- 2). The Mustangs couldn’t quite get their offense start ed, and fell to the Wolves in three sets. Days Creek went on to win the 2A state title. The Mustangs knew they needed to bounce back to be contenders for third place. They learned who they would be facing in that contest when the Reedsport Braves were defeated by Portland Christian Royals. T he R e e d s p o rt Braves (22-4), ranked sec ond in the state and Special District 1 champions, were a good team.

They would need all their weapons on the floor and would need to know how to use them. The first set went to the Braves 25-22 as each team examined the other for weaknesses. The second set showed the determination o f the Mustangs as they battled back and forth with the Braves’ hard spikes and low digs. The Mustangs put forward their best effort and, with a run at the end of the set, won 25-22. In the third set, the Braves’ big hitters started hitting their marks, enabling the Reedsport team to take the set 25-16. On the edge of elimination in the fourth set, the Mustangs dug in and played some of their best volleyball of the year. At the end of the set, Hep pner was up 24-23. With momentum going their way from five points in a row, though, the Braves regained the serve and downed the Mustangs 26-24 in the final set, ending their season at 20-13. It was a great sea son from the Mustang vol leyball team. They should be proud o f themselves; their run into the district playoffs and on into the state tournament made it a season to remember. ■ Short stays for surgery recuperation • Treadmill Stress Testing - May be ordered by any physician - ■ IV Infusion Therapy - May be ordered by any physician (orders must be co-signed by one of our providers). ■ Long-term nursing facility ■ Free Medicare Part D Prescription Drug Policy Review & enrollment Located at 564 E.
