Umatilla’s 38-yard line as
the irst quarter came to a
close.
The Vikings immediate-
ly asserted themselves in
the second quarter, though,
and Durfey intercepted a
deep Weinke pass on the
frame’s irst play.
Eight plays later the Vi-
king were back in the end
zone for a 13-0 lead, but
not before another costly
penalty that wiped out a 72-
yard catch-and-run by Sean
Miller.
Umatilla got most of
those yards back when
Durfey caught a short pass
and rumbled up the side-
line for a 40-yard gain, then
scored on a 26-yard running
back pass from Ramirez to
Justin Maret with 8:12 left
in the irst half.

drive, Grieb took a handoff
on the Mustangs irst play
of the drive and sprinted
61 yards through the Pros-
pectors defense and into the
end zone for the 16-0 lead.
Grieb inished the game
with 192 rushing yards on
15 total carries.
On defense, senior Kev-
in Murray led the way with
14 total tackles and Wyatt
Steagall was close behind
with eight. Jaca and Beau
Walters also each registered
interceptions in the game.
Grant said the defense
showed Friday that there’s
the rush and lofted a loat-
ing pass to Maret who was
wide open behind the de-
fense. He paid a hefty price
as a Pilot Rock defender
was there to deliver a big
hit just after he released the
ball.
“I knew it was coming,”
said the 135-pound fresh-
man. “I played quarterback
last year so I already know
you’ve got to take hits and
just stay tough, stay in
there.”
Ramirez was eager to
run the play again after the
Vikings tried it unsuccess-
fully in their season opener.
“With my gloves on I
held the ball too hard,” he
said. “So I was practicing
with my gloves, trying to
hold the ball a little softer. I
already knew I could throw
it, just I had to adjust how I
was grabbing the ball.”
Umatilla came out in
the second half looking to
shorten the game and use
its advantages in numbers
and size to wear down the
Rockets, which suited up
just 18 for the game.
But despite being out-
manned and out-sized, the
Rockets kept Umatilla from
getting back to the end zone
until late in the fourth quarter
on a 14-yard pass from Webb
to Maret with 3:32 left.
Durfey ran the ball 19
times for 91 yards after
halftime, but let go of a
fumble on the goal line that
Pilot Rock’s Devin Hasher
recovered with 6:43 left in
the game.
Durfey inished with a
game-high 119 yards on 25
carries.
“Deinitely it’s fun to
just go up there and pound
the ball in,” he said of his
second-half duties. “It’s
just fun.
“I deinitely want to ig-
ure out how to cover the
ball up. I just need to keep
my mind straight and keep

Friday, Ione had won the
previous ive matchups be-
tween the two teams. Not
only had Echo’s three se-
niors – Jenson, Chris Me-
drano and Dalton Wohlcke
– never felt the triumph of
a victory over their former
league foes, they had never
won a home opener.
“All four of my years we
haven’t won our irst home
game, so coming out here
and getting a win for the
home crowd is unexplain-
able,” Jenson said. “It’s the
greatest feeling I’ve had in
my high school career.”
Next up for Ione is a
home matchup with Sher-
man next week, while
Echo will travel to Pome-
roy (Washington) to face
a team it has never faced.
“The momentum deinitely
carries over,” Jensen said.

that we can go out and beat
anyone.”

“We’re still an imma-

two freshmen playing a
linebacker, and there’s 4-5
kids that this is only their
second varsity game.”

ECHO 3, IONE 0 — At Echo, the Cougars
swept the Ione Cardinals to complete a
perfect Friday competition and extend their
win streak to eight games.
Echo (9-1) won 28-26, 25-16 and 25-20 to
earn the victory. Marti Huff led the Cougars
again defensively with four blocks
“We came from behind in the irst set,
got the ball into the system and was able
to execute and come out with the win,”
Echo coach Janice Scott said. “The girls
struggled a little with keeping (Ione’s) hits
in the court, so we played a little short
court and was able to catch them off
guard.”
