Injuries spell end for Cardinals
By Paula Emmel
The lone Cardinals lost
their Nov. 2 game at Echo
to take fourth place in dis
tricts.
It was a rough season
end for the Cardinals. After
losing quarterback Luke
Jobes and running back
Evan Rietmann last week
to concussions, and losing
other running back Gus
Peterson to a back injury
the previous week, lone had
to rely on the youth of the
team to face off with Echo
for a chance at the third-
place seed to enter the state
playoff round one.
The Cardinals played
hard, but inexperience and
few breaks set up the Cou
gars to win. Coach Stan
Weiper told the team after
the game that, “Had we
had our original starters and
Joel, we would have put up
a good fight and may have
won.
Joel Stillman got hurt
early on in the season and
is recovering from knee sur
gery. lone started the season
with 22 players and had
only nine for practice last
Monday. Doctors cleared
player Gorge Aguiliar from
his concussion on Tuesday,
and three others returned
to practice the rest of the
week, giving the Cardinals

down to start the game Fri
day. Weiper used freshman
Jason Juarez as quarterback
in Jobes’ absence. Juarez
played relentlessly and gave
no complaints. Seniors Tim

Lady Cards end season
Halloween loss dashes state hopes
By Anne M orter
The lone Lady Cardi
nals saw their volleyball
season come to an end on
the road on H allow een
Night, losing in straight
sets to Imbler 22-25, 25-
27, 9-25.
The lone team did not
go down without a fight,
playing the number-two
team from the Old Oregon
league close in the first
game and forcing extra
points in the second.
In the end, though, too
many mistakes and a men
tal breakdown in the third
game ended any hopes of
a return trip to the state
championship.

lone finished the season
with a 12-13 record and
marked the fourth year in
a row advancing to post
season play.
Imbler was a strong
team hitting from the out
side but the Lady Cardinals
were “doing a really good
job picking up their hits,”
said Coach Dawn Eynet-
ich.
She noted that the Cards
hung tough and challenged
the Panthers through the
first two games before com
ing unglued in the third.
“At times this year, we
were our own worst enemy”
noted Eynetich, and, at the
worst possible time, those

kind of mistakes invaded
the team. “We weren’t get
ting on top of the ball when
hitting; we weren’t follow
ing the ball out of bounds
and just letting them drop.
We just really struggled.”
Em ily H olland and
Shadow K endrick both
had four kills, while Lacey
Thompson and Jessy Flynn
each had three. Jackie Juar
ez was perfect at the service
line with 10-10 before leav
ing the game with an injury.
Emily Holland was also
100 percent from the line,
serving 8-8.
Even though the Lady
Cardinals won’t be return
ing to state, they did over
come a lot of obstacles and
exceed pre-season expecta
tions.
“They should be proud
of themselves,” said Eynet
ich. “They went a lot farther
than people expected.”
Eynetich noted that
injury and illness played
a big role in this season’s
campaign.
“It was one after an
other, which meant we were
constantly changing the
rotation.
“ With a young team
without a lot o f varsity
experience, that was even
tougher to handle,” she
said.
