Bulldogs dominate Eagles on the road
Hermiston rebounds for
big win over Hood River
Hermiston Herald
The Hermiston Bulldogs
rolled into Hood River and took
care of business on Friday, de-
feating Hood River Valley, 36-6,
in Special District 1 action.
Sophomore quarterback An-
drew James completed 21-34
passes for 218 yards and two
touchdowns on the night — one
to Brady Christianson and one to
Tucker Salinas. James also ran
for one touchdown in the third
quarter.
Hermiston’s running game got
plenty of work in as well, as the
team combined for 250 rushing
yards on 35 carries — an average
of 7.1 yards per carry — and one
touchdown.
The Bulldogs started their scor-
ing barrage with 4:45 left in the

Hermiston junior running back Jonathan Hinkle looks for additional

against Ridgeview.
irst quarter when James connect-
ed with Christianson from eight
yards out for the early 6-0 lead.
The only other score Hermiston
developed in the irst half was a
seven yard scamper by Peter Earl
— his irst of the season — and
bumped the halftime lead to 14-0
after James found Jerry Ramirez
for the two-point conversion.
In the second half, Hermis-
ton’s offense took off as it con-
tinually wore down the Eagles
defense, scoring twice in each
quarter. In the third quarter,
James plunged into the end zone
from two yards out for the touch-
down for the 20-0 lead, and then
with 48 seconds left John-Hen-
ry Line punched it in from two
yards out as well for the 28-0
Bulldog lead.
Then in the fourth quarter,
James completed an 18 yard
touchdown pass to Salinas with
10:46 left to put Hermiston up
36-0.
Hood River did not get on the
scoreboard until there was 1:51
left in the game, when running
back Michael Jones ran nine
yards for the touchdown. Jones
inished the game with 104 yards
rushing on 13 carries.
Hood River quarterback Ca-
den Leiblein was eficient against
Hermiston’s defense, completing
22-27 passes for 163 yards, but
had one interception.
Hermiston will return home
this week to host Ridgeview
on Friday at 7 p.m. in Hermis-
ton’s 2016 Homecoming game.
Ridgeview of Redmond is 1-2
in league action this year and
1-4 on the season. Ridgeview’s
only win on the season so far is
against Hood River Valley, 12-6,
on Sept. 16.

record wins

IRRIGON 27, RIV-
ERSIDE 6 — The Irrigon
Knights won their Eastern
Oregon League debut with
a big 27-6 win over the
Riverside Pirates on Friday
night.
“The kids did really well
tonight,” Irrigon coach
Steve Sheller said. “It was
a dang struggle all night ...
those Riverside kids played
really hard.”
Irrigon (2-3, 1-0 EOL)
did its offensive damage
on the ground on Friday, as
their backield trio of Josh-
ua Aguilera (31 rushes, 96
yards), Carlos Zacarias (10
rushes, 61 yards, TD), and
Lino Covarrubia (12 rush-
es, 63 yards, TD) combined
for 220 yards. Quarterback
Austin Rice also ran in two
touchdowns.
The only touchdown that
Irrigon allowed came on a
Riverside (1-4, 0-1) hail
mary as time expired in the
irst half, but shut down the
Pirates the rest of the way.
“Our defensive backs
played outstanding,” Shell-
er said.
Sheller said that junior
cornerback Ryan Verley
stood out in the game, mak-
ing plays all over the ield
and playing solid cover-
age on his receivers. Also
standing out for Irrigon was
Omar and Daniel Vera as
each hauled in one inter-
ception in the game.
“While we’re young,
I have kids that show up
ready to play every day,”
Sheller said,” and I think
that was the difference for
us in the game.”
Irrigon next plays at Vale
Friday and Riverside will
travel to Umatilla.
STANFIELD 62, CUL-
VER 28 — At Stanield,
the Tigers ran for more than
400 yards as a team for the
fourth time in ive games as
they dominated the Culver
Bulldogs 62-21 on Friday
night.
“We just stuck to what
we do best and that’s run
the ball,” Stanield coach
Davie Salas said following
the win. “We were patient
and we ran great between
the tackles ... Culver tried
to stack the box, but we just
wore them down in the sec-
ond half.”
Running back Thyler
Monkus led Stanield (5-0,
1-0 CBC) with 149 rushing
yards and three touchdowns
on just eight carries, while
quarterback Dylan Grogan
added three more touch-
downs and 97 rushing yards
on 10 carries.
When it was over, Stan-
ield had ive different
players with touchdowns.
Their numerous weapons
from the skill positions on
offense is part of the reason
why Stanield is so danger-
ous.
“It allows us to keep
fresh legs in during the
game ... so we don’t have
to run Dylan and Thyler 20
times each half,” Salas said.
“We’re a well-conditioned
team and in the third and
fourth quarters when teams
are wearing down we’re
still going strong.”
Stanield
travels to
Weston-McEwen Friday at
7 p.m.

the TigerScots up 6-0. But
from that point on, it was
all Heppner, starting with
its defense.
The Mustangs unit
caused plenty of headaches
for the TigerScots. Led by
Kevin Murray (11 tackles),
Heppner registered 11 tack-
les for loss and three sacks,
negating a total of 54 yards
in the process.
“Defensively we real-
ly stepped up. We tackled
well, we were disciplined
and just did our jobs, which
was really satisfying,” Hep-
pner coach Greg Grant said.
“And their effort set up our
offense.”
For Heppner (4-1, 1-0
CBC), senior Logan Grieb
and junior Coby Daugherty
were the stars of the game,
combining for seven total
touchdowns. Grieb ran for
111 yards on 11 carries with
two scores and also hauled
in four catches for 91 yards
and a pair of touchdowns.
Daugherty ran for a sea-
son-high 149 yards on 11
carries with three touch-
downs.
It was also a breakout
game of sorts for quarter-
back Kevin Smith, who
completed 9-17 passes for
130 yards and a pair of
scores.
“Kevin had a great
game,” Grant said. “He was
eficient, made some accu-
rate throws and was quick
in his decision making.”
Jacob
Speed
was
the leading rusher for
Weston-McEwen with 39
yards on 10 carries and Lo-
gan Bates added 30 yards
on two carries. Scott also
completed 3-5 passes for 51
yards and one touchdown.
Heppner hosts Pilot
Rock on Friday at 7 p.m.
and Weston-McEwen will
host Stanield on Friday at
7 p.m. as well.

ECHO 52, WALLOWA
26 — At Echo, the Cougars
overcame a slow start in
the irst half and used a big
third quarter to run away
with a win over Wallowa
on Friday night.
“It’s a big win for us,”
Echo coach Rick Thew
said. “We’ve been pushed
around by Wallowa the
last few years, and it felt
good to win one like this
after a tough game last
week.”
After trailing 12-6 at
the end of the irst quar-
ter, Echo (2-2, 1-1 SD1)
outscored Wallowa 14-6
in the second to take a 20-
18 lead into the break. And
in the third quarter, Echo
was able to open the game
up and scored 26 points to
hold a 46-18 lead at the
end of three.
“We had our two best
linemen out, so it took us
a bit to get our connections
down,” Thew said of the
slow start. “But once we
settled in, the boys felt the
momentum shifting and
kept getting better and bet-
ter.
“Then in the third quar-
ter, the boys had the men-
tality to go all-out, and
they followed through.”
Quarterback
Devan
Craig had a big game for
Echo with 158 passing
yards and three touch-
downs to go with 146 rush-
ing yards and four touch-
downs.
Echo will travel to Pow-
der Valley on Friday for a 7
p.m. start.
