The Tigers start the season as the second ranked team in 3A football and were a tough first game of the sea- son opponent. The Mus- tangs start the season out as the fourth ranked team in 2A football as voted on by the coaches. The uneventful first quarter was penalty filled as both teams were try to work out the first game of the season jitters. Both teams were able to move the ball but they just trad- ed punts several times and the quarter ended with no score. The Mustangs had the ball at midfield to start the second quarter. It only took four plays for them to put points on the board as quarterback Jayden Wilson scored on a 22 yard run. Kannon Wilkins kicked the extra point to give the Mustangs a 7-0 lead. Clatskanie scored a touchdown with just over a minute to go in the first half to make the score 7-6. An unsportsmanlike con- duct penalty on the Tigers forced them to kick off from deep on their own side. Heppner got good field position and started their drive near midfield. After a short pass com- pletion to Jace Coe, a 13 yard run by Wilson and a 14 yard scamper by Blake Wolters, the Mustangs scored when Jackson Leh- man completed a pass to Mason Lehman for an 11 yard touchdown with only 12 seconds left in the first half. That made the score of the game 13-6 in favor of the Mustangs at half- time. The second half started with Heppner kicking off to the Tigers. The defense forced a punt and the Mus- tangs took possession at their own 45 yard line. On the very next play Wilson hit Mason Lehman with a pass that covered 55 yards for another score. Wolters ran the ball in for the 2 pt. conversion to give the Mustangs a 21-6 lead. Clatskanie then went on a long drive that resulted in a touchdown to bring the score to 21-12 as the third quarter ended. On the Tigers’ first se- ries in the fourth quarter, Kason Cimmiyotti inter- cepted a pass and ran it back 35 yards to give the Mustangs good field po- sition. A drive of seven plays resulted in another Heppner touchdown when Wilson ran the ball in from 2 yards out. That gave the Mustangs a 27-12 lead with six minutes left in the game. The Tigers scored on their next possession to make the score 27-20. They then attempted an onside kick that Jason Rea scooped up to give Hep- pner the ball near midfield. The Mustangs couldn’t move the ball and faced fourth down. Punter Gavin Hanna-Robinson took the snap and ran around right end for a big first down. Heppner was then able to run out the clock and Wil- son took a knee on the last The Ione-Arlington Cardinal volleyball team has come out swinging this season posting a 3-2 pre- season record.

They worked really hard, didn’t get down on themselves, and kept fighting. I’m very proud of them,” said Coach Becky Wagenblast. The Cardinals then trav- eled to Helix to play a doubleheader against Riv- erside and host Griswold, beating both teams by winning every single set.

She was on fire all night. She served, hit, passed–ev- erything–great. But she’s a real team leader too, en- couraging the girls, help- ing them learn new rota- tions, inspiring us all.

The Cardinals will host their first home game of the season in Ione this Thurs- day against defending Big Sky Champions South Wasco County. “It should be a very good matchup. My girls are excited and ready to play. I hope ev- eryone makes the effort to come watch; you won’t be disappointed! These girls are making us all very proud!” said Coach Wa- genblast.
