“That’s what I like about

Joe Hodge, who recorded
the best 5K run of 50-59 year-
old men and a 13-year vet-
eran of the Butte Challenge,
said the fun experience keeps
him coming back year after
year, as well as the drawings.
Some races, Jewett said,
have raffles, but those tickets
are sold. At the Butte Challenge,
each participant is entered into a
drawing for prizes such as a Blu-
Ray player to running socks to
gift certificates, which were
awarded after the race.
“A lot of these people are

the chance to help out the
cross country team, as well
as the excuse to run and the
drawing, will make the event
a tradition for him.
“I think it’s tradition,” he
said. “I think the Hermiston
cross country team is pretty
well-known. It’s had a lot of
success and a lot of hot-shot
runners, so I think that’s the
start, but now I think now
people know it’s going to

think that’s probably the key.”

That said, Faaeteete is excit-
ed to see how his roster devel-
ops over the summer and how
it grows next fall.
“It’s a young roster, with the
aspirations of playing in the big
show,” he said. “I’m excited
about it. I’m eager to see what
the kids bring and how they
step up to replace (the seniors).
“The focus of our program
is to continue the family-like
atmosphere and style, not only
to make football players, but to
build guys that can lead their
community by teaching them
skills they can use both on and

players and young men that

Smith inherits a program
that was successful under pre-
decessor Wadekamper. In 2013
the Bulldogs won the Colum-
bia River Conference cham-
pionship, and in 2014 they
played for the CRC title, com-
ing within one game of league
champ Pendleton.
Smith went to college in
Fresno, California, where
she played volleyball and
started coaching. From there,
she moved to Oregon, then
to Minnesota, where she
coached for 10 years. She then
came to Hermiston, where she
has been an active volleyball
referee and community mem-
ber, volunteering and running
a number of organizations lo-
cally.
She said she was initially
hesitant to take the coaching

leaving to spend more time
with her family, because she
assumed Hermiston would hire
an incoming teacher. Ganvoa,

learned about her volleyball
experience after speaking. Her
coaching experience, commu-
nity ties and overall volleyball
knowledge struck Ganvoa very
quickly.

valued member of the commu-
nity, doing everything she can
to promote Hermiston and is a
true ambassador.”
Though Smith has lived
in Hermiston for a number
RI \HDUV RI¿FLDWHG +HUPLV-
ton volleyball games and kept
WKHRI¿FLDOVFRUHERRNDWER\V
and girls Hermiston basketball
games, she said she’s com-
pletely unfamiliar with the ros-
ter. She wants it that way, how-
ever, because that doesn’t allow
for her to play favorites or have
biases in the early weeks of the
season so she can put together
teams based on athlete skill
level.
“That will make the girls
try even harder because I
don’t know them,” Smith said.
“They’re gonna have to prove
where they belong without me
knowing anything about them.

gives them all of a fresh start.
So no matter where they’re at
previously, this is a different
coach, a different take, a differ-
ent look on things.”
Bergstrom has been an as-
sistant coach for the Bulldogs
this season, mostly working
with pitchers. Rodriguez, who
also coaches the Hermiston

team and is an assistant girls
basketball coach, has been
working with Armand Larive
tennis players this spring.
