FIVE - Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, October 24, 2018 Cardinals celebrate seniors with a win Ione wrapped up their football season with a 48-28 win over the Union Bobcats on Thursday night. With the win on senior night, the Cardinals remain undefeat- ed for the month of October with 3-0. The first score in the game came on the Cardinals first possession when Hunt- er Padberg threw a 35 yard pass to Junior Verduzco who ran it in for the score. Verduzco and Padberg con- tinued in the passing game, linking up four more times for touchdowns. Besides the arm of Pad- berg and hands of Verduz- co, the Cardinals were also successful running the ball behind the blocking of their front line, Aidan Barres- se, Josh Gray and Taylor Rollins. “They have been work horses for the team all year long and stepped up Thursday,” stated a spokes- person. “They opened up lanes for JR Roque and Nestor Ramirez who both Ione seniors pictured with parents (L-R): Nestor Ramirez (10), Josh Gray (59), Aidan Baresse (25) and Junior Verduzco (5). -Contributed photo. had rushing touchdowns in the game.” On the defensive side of the ball, the Cardinals had big games from Jake Heideman, Gary Walls and Taylor Rollins on the de- fensive line. Heideman intercepted a pitch late in the third quarter to put the game away. In the secondary, the Bobcats passing game was shut down by Colt Parker, defensive back. Cardinals’ Maruricio Martinez led the attack on the special teams making five tackles to pin the Bobcats inside their own 25 yard line. The Cardinals honored the seniors on the team say- ing they will greatly miss the leadership and play of Aidan Baresse, Josh Gray, Nestor Ramirez and Junior Verduzco next year. “It’s always easy to tuck tail and run when things don’t go our way. For these seniors to stick it out all four years and stay true to Ione after losing their football team for a year is a real testament to their character. I could not be more proud of these men and feel honored to be their coach,” said Coach J.J. Rosenberg.

The Ione High School volleyball team wrapped up its season last week with a Tuesday win on the road against Condon/Wheeler and the honor of earning the Big Sky Sportsmanship Award at its tournament in Echo Irrigon Medical Clinic Richard Aballay, MD • Vicki Kent, ARNP (541) 922-5880 Pioneer Memorial Clinic Russ Nichols, MD • Dan Hambleton, MD Betty Hamill, DNP, APRN, FNPC • Amanda Fabian, PA-C (541) 676-5504 Ione Community Clinic Eileen McElligott, FNP • Betty Hamill, DNP, APRN, FNPC (541) 422-7128 on Saturday. Additional- ly at the tournament, two Cardinal volleyball players were named Big Sky All- League. Emma Rietmann, a junior middle blocker, made Second Team and Serenity Rodriguez, a sophomore outside hitter, earned Hon- orable Mention. The Cardinals fin- ished fifth in the Big Sky with a 4-8 league record, 6-15 overall. A spokes- person stated, “They won several hard-fought sets against much higher ranked teams and grew in talent and, crucially, confidence throughout the season. A very young team, they had tremendous growth from August to October and they are looking forward to an even more successful sea- son next year.” Their entire team will be returning, ex- cept their only senior, setter Renee Peterson and French foreign exchange student and middle blocker, Marie Chrétien. “I am so proud of the girls’ hard work and just how much they grew as individual players and, more importantly, as a team this season. Having them honored with the Big Sky Sportsmanship Award is a very well-deserved recognition as they are a courteous and kind group of girls,” said head coach Becky Wagenblast. “Emma Rietmann earned her spot on the All- League Second Team by not only being our team’s leader in blocks and kills, as well as a great serv- er and dependable passer, but by her incredible work ethic and team leadership. Serenity Rodriguez, who made Honorable Mention, did fantastically as well. She led our team in passing, is a tough server and strong at the net as well as being a true competitor. I am so proud of these girls and how hard they worked.” A spokesperson stated they will miss Renee and Marie, but with the return of all the other players, coupled with the experience gained this season and the natural development of growth another year brings, the young team will be very successful next year. One of the team goals was to win the Sportsmanship Award this year and they did. “Now, next year we will shoot for the Sports- manship Award and the dis- trict title. I believe we can do it. They are an amazing group of girls.” DEADLINE FOR ALL NEWS AND ADVERTISING MONDAY 5:00 PM Accepting New Patients at All Clinics Pioneer Memorial Hospital (541) 676-9133 • Emergency Department • Acute Care – Inpatient Hospital Care • Swing Bed Care – 24-hour nursing care and rehabilitation from surgery or illness. • Pioneer Memorial Nursing Facility – Extended care for those who are unable to live at home. • Outpatient Laboratory Services – Our new equipment allows many tests to be performed on site for fast turnaround time. • Outpatient Radiology Services – X-Ray, CT Scan, Ultrasound, Dexascan, mobile MRI and mobile Mammography • Outpatient IV Drug Therapy • Physical, Occupational and Speech Therapy VOTE C ody H igH MAYOR Pioneer Memorial Home Health & Hospice We’re Here to Help When You Need it Most (541) 676-2946 Morrow County Ambulance Services Emergency Medical Services provided throughout Morrow County. www.morrowcountyhealthdistrict.org ELECT ME, YOUR VOICE AT CITY HALL codyhigh@hotmail.com.
