A12 • HERMISTONHERALD.COM JAMES: continued from Page A10 counting the story of Ego’s postgame address. “As soon as I knew, I was like, ‘Sweet.’ I love playing with him.” “It was really e[citing,” James said of his ¿rst start in Hermiston’s 74-58 loss to Hanford. “Just sitting on the bench and hearing your MUSTANGS: continued from Page A10 Along with my family, my community, my coaches, anG my EUotheUs, we can ¿- nally say ‘we did it.’” On the offensive side of the football Kindle was one of many cogs of a high-powered offense, but he was perhaps the most dangerous. Kindle led the team with 2,313 all-pur- pose yards and 31 total touchdowns — highlighted by his ¿ve-touchdown per- formance in the state title game. He even completed one pass for 21 yards. Kindle says that he is name called — it’s one of the best feelings.” Naillon said it was an easy transition to playing with the freshman. “He just knows the game of basketball,” he said. “I mean, don’t get me wrong we all make mistakes out there. But he knows what he’s doing, and it’s real- ly nice to play with guys who can think when they’re playing basketball and not make bad decisions. “He’s got that basket- ball I.Q. and that’s what we need.” Naillon, who is a three- year varsity player, doesn’t look at grade or age. He just looks at a player’s ability to contribute. Ego has the same philosophy, saying before the season that if a freshman is good enough, he’s good enough. Naillon used his e[perience as a young varsity player to un- derstand James and his role. “I’ve always been big on I don’t care what grade you are,” he said. “When I was a freshman, I hated all that stuff. I said, ‘When I’m a se- nior, I’m gonna treat every- one the same.’ So, I thought it was a super sweet that we could come together as a team and let a freshman do what he’s able to do.” Naillon, though, was still still trying to wrap his head around everything from the season “Everything that has happened has been unre- al ... then to add the state honors on top of that is something else,” Kindle said. “Our hard work truly payed off with the numer- ous all state honors our team had.” But he also noted that none of the players feel they would have had this success without the Coach of the Year pushing them every single day. “Without him none of us would be where we are today on and off the ¿eld,” Kindle said, “and I think I can speak for the whole team when I say that about coach Grant.” Mustangs quarterback Kaden Clark (1,272 yards, 19 TD), wide receiver Lo- gan Grieb (1,274 all-pur- pose yards, 19 TD), and tight end/running back Weston Putman (949 all-purpose yards, 10 TD) highlighted the other Mus- tangs ¿rst-team selections, with Collins and Murray representing the stout of- fensive line. However, the Mustangs weren’t the only team to land several players on the all-state teams, as the 6tan¿eld Tigers saw si[ selections. Junior offensive lineman Jose Garcia was 6tan¿eld’s lone ¿rst-team- er and junior running back Thyler Monkus was the Ti- gers’ only offensive player to make the second-team roster. Other second-team de- fensive players were junior defensive lineman Jared Warren, junior linebacker Dylan Grogan, and Monkus again at defensive back. Offensive lineman Noe Sanchez also made the team as an honorable mention, as did Irrigon’s star running back Fredy Vera. ——— Neal said he always wants that kind of recognition, but ul- timately the team comes ¿rst. continued from Page A10 “I try to help out my team as Couer d’Alene quarterback Aus- much as I can, but I still try to get those little personal accom- tin Lee. He was a consistent contrib- plishments,” he said. Neal said he plans on continu- utor for a young team that dealt with injuries, and his e[peri- ing his football career, and has ence was vital to maintaining been in contact with “a couple cohesion from 2014 to 2015 coaches,” though he wouldn’t with just four starters returning say who or from what schools. “I’ll keep that to myself for in total.

Kindle, Heppner, senior now,” he said after a pause. On his recruiting pro¿le at NCSAsports.org, Neal lists his squat as 385 pounds, his bench press at 295 pounds and he runs a 40-yard sprint in 4.9 seconds. He also starts at forward for the basketball team and was a state placer in the shot put, discus and javelin as a junior.

He proved himself that game.” But still, James remains humble in his early success. He understands he still has room to grow, places in his game to improve.

I see myself as a role play- er, a guy who gets a couple points a night and some assists and rebounds. The small things, nothing big.” continued from Page A11 “We wrestled hard in some matches and in some matches we didn’t,” ¿rst-year coach Kyle Lar- son said. “We’re learning and we’re training hard. We have some things to work on. We’re better than what you’ve seen in certain places. These guys beat us here two years in a row. It’s good to get back on top.” ——— RB Cole Rixe, Bend, senior RB Brent Yeakey, Ridgeview, junior RB Michael Jones, Hood River Valley, sophomore WR Braydon Haas, Springfield, senior WR Damon Peters, Hillsboro, senior WR Austin Kramer, Crater, junior WR Shashi Penn, Ashland, senior TE Michael Pruitt, Ashland, senior TE Jalontae Walker, La Salle, senior C Zack Mason, Putnam, senior OL Alex Antillon, Liberty, sophomore OL Jordan Cardenas, Liberty, junior OL Sam Fults, Hood River Valley, senior OL Callan Connors, Summit, junior OL Colin Leutschaft, Redmond, senior OL Jacob Banks, Pendleton, senior OL Chris Steffey, Ridgeview, senior OL Kaden Caldwell, Hermiston, junior K Austin Kness, Wilsonville, sopho- more K Kaden Wadsworth, Summit, senior HERMISTON 48, KUNA 25 195 — Levi Perry (K) def.
