Hermiston plays host for playoffs
By SEAN HART
Staff Writer
In addition to being
home for the Bulldogs,
Kennison Field has be-
come a home away from
home for Eastern Oregon
high school football teams
during the state playoffs.
Last year, the 1A, 2A
and 3A state champion-
ship football games were
played on the turf in
Hermiston, and all three
title games will be played
there again this Saturday.
This year¶s 3A semi¿-
nal between Vale and Scio
and 1A semi¿nal between
Crane and Adrian were
played in Hermiston Nov.
21, and Mike Kay, the op-
erations director for the
Hermiston School Dis-
trict, said the games were
well attended with three
teams from Eastern Ore-
gon.
“It’s a great opportuni-
ty for us to provide a place
for our east-side schools
to play so they’re not driv-
ing to Portland, and more
importantly, it’s a great
boost for our economy
here in town,” he said.
According to a 2013-
14 economic impact study
conducted by ECONor-
thwest, visitors spent an
average of $60.48 per day
in the Hermiston area — a
total of more than $4 mil-
lion — while attending
events such as regional
and state playoffs.

Vale Vikings football fans cheer their team to a 42-14
victory against the Scio Loggers in a 3A state football
championships semiÀnal game Nov. 21 at Kennison Field in
Hermiston. Eastern Oregon players, coaches and fans said
they enjoy the facilities and the community.
“It’s pretty great,”
Adrian player Mike Grif-
¿n said of the facilities.
“It’s not as shocking as
last year when we came,
but still it’s amazing.”
Grif¿n said he was too
young to have had to trav-
el all the way to Portland
for a game, but he thinks
the shorter drive is bene¿-
cial for teams on this side
of the state. Adrian head
coach Paul Shenk agreed.
“That’s the fairest way
to do it,” he said. “Meet
halfway and go. It’s good
for everybody.”
Vale fan Matt Hiatt said
he traveled to Hermiston
Friday and stayed in a ho-
tel. He said the drive was
better than to Portland,
and he enjoyed the Herm-
reTuires semi¿nal and
¿nal football games to
be played on a neutral
¿eld, preferably on arti-
¿cial turf. While many
larger schools have turf
¿elds west of the Cascade
Mountains, when Kenni-
son Field’s turf was com-
pleted in 2013, it joined a
¿eld in Bend as the only
turf ¿elds in Eastern Or-
egon.
Players, coaches and
fans from this side of the
state have been enjoying
playing on the ¿eld and
visiting the community.
Adrian and Vale won the
1A and 3A state champi-
onships at Kennison Field
last year, and both teams
were happy to be back for
semi¿nal games Nov. 21.

iston community.
“It’s a very nice town,
friendly people, very ac-
commodating,” he said.
Vale athletic director
Tom Snook said the team
stayed in a hotel Friday
as well. He said Kay and
Hermiston athletic direc-
tor Blaine Ganvoa “do
such a good job making
everybody feel comfort-
able,” and the facilities
and location make Kenni-
son Field a great ¿t.
“This is so much better
for our fans,” he said. “It’s
a shorter drive. The facil-
ity is really nice. Blaine
and Mike go out of their
way to make things very
accommodating for our
kids and our fans, so it’s
just a great experience for
us. We’re very lucky that
those guys allow us to
come here and play.”

Local dojo cleans
up at Portland
regional tourney
By SAM BARBEE
Staff Writer
With just 12 students,
the Eastern Oregon Fami-
ly Taekwondo dojo, based
in 6tan¿eld, ¿nished in
4th place with 182 points
at the 2015 Legacy Cup
Taekwondo Tournament
at Mt. Hood Community
College Nov. 14.
More than 300 stu-
dents from 26 schools
competed in disciplines
such as sparring, tradi-
tional forms, creative
forms and board break-
ing, EOFTKD won 15
gold medals, worth eight
points a piece, seven sil-
ver medals, worth ¿ve
points and ¿ve three-
point bronze medals.
Students were awarded a
point for simply partici-
pating.
There were tourna-
ments for weapons and
Gi jiu-jitsu, though no
Eastern Oregon stu-
dents competed. Owner,
operator and lead in-
structor Erwin Watson
said some students have
begun practicing with
weapons to compete in
tournaments next year.
Watson also said refer-
ees and other instruc-
tors were impressed
with his students and
often asked where they
were from. He said it
only took reference to
Pendleton for them to
understand where Stan-
field is.
“I‘m proud to say how
impressed and proud (I
am of) each and every
one of our students per-
formed this weekend,”
Watson said. “Not only
the students, but a big
thank you for all their
parents that came to sup-
port their kids. Without
them none of their suc-
cess would have not been
accomplished.”
