The Tri-County Shrine Club honored players Der- ek Howard and Tyler Carter on Wednesday, May 1 at the Heppner Elks Lodge. This annual recognition din- ner brings families, Shrine members and coaches to- gether to hear about the mission of the Shriners organization while recog- nizing the players selected for the game. Derek Howard is a son of Matt and Derina Howard. According to a spokesperson, “He was a great teammate and some- one who was kind to all he played with and against.” It was also said that Derek is a top track athlete with a state leading mark of 51’10”. Tyler Carter is the son of Scott and Kim Carter. Tyler was a first team all- league offensive and de- fensive player.

Tyler was also selected as a second team All-State offensive and defensive player. Both boys were praised for how they represented their families, school and community by Coach Greg Grant. “The support of par- ents, teammates, school and community is what molded you into the person you are today,” Grant said. “Hon- or all of them with your actions,” was the message given. Each player gave a short speech thanking their parents and support of their community. Past player Wyatt Steagall was a guest speaker. He spoke pas- sionately about how the experience was much more than he imagined. “The technology of the hospital was incredible and it was so gratifying to contribute to such a great cause,” he said.
