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.

The Heppner Mus
tang volleyball team ( 19-11)
played in the first contest to
begin the 2A OSAA state
championship playoffs at
Pacific University in Forest
Grove last weekend. 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. BMC cham-

pions, the Mustangs, knew
going in that this would be
a tough game. 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.
