Lady Cards open season with
non-league play
The Ione Lady Cardinal
JV and varsity teams hosted
the Enterprise Outlaws Fri-
day at the Ione Basketball
Bonanza in their irst game
of the new season. This
was a non-league game
for the Cardinals and was
fast-paced until the end for
both teams.
The Cardinals fought
hard, keeping the score
either tied or within a two-
to four-point spread until
the fourth quarter, when
the Outlaws pulled ahead,
winning with a inal score
of Ione 34, Enterprise 50.
With the fast-paced
playing came a lot of fouls
that added up, with three
players fouling out for the
last part of the game.
On Saturday Ione
played the Riverside Pi-
rates in another non-league
game. They played well in
their second game of the
season and almost pulled
ahead to win. However, by
the end of the fourth quarter
the Pirates outpaced the
Lady Cards to pull down 44
points to Ione’s 34.
The girls play next at
the Heppner Kick-Off Fri-
day, facing Crane at 3 p.m.
