Condon 24-6 and Dufur 24-20. The Cardinals had a very young team this year. On paper, this should have been a “rebuilding” year for Ione. They started the season with seven out of 14 players being sixth graders, and ending with six out of eleven. In response to the team make-up, Coach Dale Hol- land changed the way he taught during practice and the way he coached during the games to accommodate for the lack of experience and size. During the first few games of the season, the younger players had the opportunity to log a lot of playing time, gaining invaluable experience. “By the time they trav- eled to Dufur—a team they hadn’t beaten in several years—for the last game of the season, the players did not think of themselves as underdogs anymore,” said Coach Jim Raible. “When they took to field, they were confident and prepared, and while it was a close game throughout, Ione never trailed.” Ione players receive Big Sky honors Three members of the Ione volleyball district championship team received honors in the Big Sky Conference. Jessie Flynn and Rachel Holland were both selected to Big Sky Conference First Team All Stars, and Hannah Jo Padberg received a Big Sky honorable mention. –Photo by Janet Holland NRCS offers last chance to Butter Schools see pink for cancer Creek, Sandhollow landowners awareness The USDA Natural Re- sources Conservation Ser- vice (NRCS) offers techni- cal and financial assistance to private landowners and producers interested in pre- serving natural resources on the land.
