HeppnerGazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Lady Cards head to state By Anne M orter The lone Lady Cardi nals did what they needed to do to keep their season alive last week, dispatching Sher man County in a district play-in game on Thursday and then grabbing the num ber-three seed out of the Big Sky District Tournament on Saturday at Hermiston High School. The three seed puts the Cardinals on the road to Imbler on Wednesday, Oct. 31, with the game set to begin at 6 p.m. Imbler is the number-two team from the Old Oregon League with their only losses this year coming at the hands of the two teams that have been trading places as the number one ranked team in the RP1 rankings, Dufurand North Powder. On Thursday, Oct. 25, the Lady Cardinals hosted Sherman County in a do or-die match. Coach Dawn Eynetich expected a truer test of the teams than their previous outing in lone where Sherman downed an exhausted Cardinal squad in three games. She got that as the Cardinals took the match 25-21,25-18,20-25, 25-10. Although Sherman won game three and looked like they had swung the all- important momentum their way. the Cardinals polished off the Lady Huskies in the fourth game to earn their way back to the district tournament. Emily Holland was “on her game,” said Coach Eynetich, and led the team with nine kills. Shadow Kendrick added six and Lacey Thomspon had five. Freshman Jessy Flynn was 20-20 serving with two aces, and the team only missed three serves the whole match. “They knew they had to come out and play their best,” said Coach Eynetich. “They didn't want their season to end.” That win set up a first- round game in the Big Sky District Tournament with the number one team from the Big Sky West and, also, the team that had been sit ting atop the RP1 rankings for most of the season. The lone team started out ner vous and sluggish, losing game one 10-25 but came back to give Dufur a fight. Although Dufur took the match 3-1, (10-25, 21-25, 25-20, 20-25), the Lady Cardinals found hope in the fact that they hung with the number one team and competed. “It was good motiva tion to know you can com pete with a team ranked that high,” said Coach Eynet ich. Em ily H olland and Jessy Flynn each had seven kills and Shadow Kendrick was 13-13 at the service line. The Lady C ardinals then faced South Wasco County with an extended season on the line. After sitting around for a match, the Cards came out sluggish but “ ...did what we had to do to win,” said Coach Eynetich. It may not have been the prettiest win but the Cards took the match 25-21,25-22, 25-22. Emily Holland again led the team with seven kills, and Jessy Flynn had six. The team was close to flawless at the service line, missing just two out of 70 attempts. After an exciting cham pionship match where Con- don/Wheeler/Arlington up set Dufur for the conference title, Shadow K endrick and Stacee Halvorsen were named to the first team of the Big Sky East All Stars and Lacey Thompson was named Honorable M en tion. be held, as well.
