PAGE A14 Hermiston Herald he Stanfield Tigers will play for a state football title at 4 p.m. Saturday at Kennison Field in Hermiston, just seven miles from their home campus. It will be the first time Stan- field’s football team has been in a state title game since the Tigers won a Class B title in 1957. The Tigers (11-1) face the Re- gis Rams (10-2) on Saturday, a team Stanfield has already defeat- ed once this year, 20-14, in a non- league home game on Sept. 23. The No. 2 Tigers beat the No. 3 Kennedy Trojans, 32-13, in the 2A semifinals on Saturday night at Liberty High School in Hillsboro, exacting the revenge they were determined to get following last year’s loss to the Trojans, also in the semifinals. Regis, the top-ranked team in the state in spite of two losses, earned its spot in the title game by defeating Heppner, 27-6, Saturday at Liberty High School in Hills- boro. The 2016 Stanfield squad will attempt to do what no Tigers foot- ball team has done in 59 years, which is win a state championship.

See TIGERS, A14 Free Thanksgiving meal serves holiday spirit By TAMMY MALGESINI Community Editor FILE PHOTO Volunteers serve on the hot line during the 2015 Community Fellowship Dinner at the Hermiston Senior Center. Everyone is invited to the free Thanksgiving meal Thursday at the Hermiston Senior Center. What started as a small holiday gathering in 1988 has grown to a community-wide Thanksgiving meal open to everyone. The Community Fellowship Din- ner began when a Hermiston man, who has requested anonymity over the years, wanted to enjoy a tradition- al Thanksgiving dinner in the compa- ny of others. He opened his home and about 20 people were in attendance. The meal, which has grown over the years, was moved to Thompson Hall and then the Hermiston Senior Cen- ter. Upwards of 300 volunteers have participated in serving 600-800 meals in recent years. Volunteer Cathy Stolz said it seems the numbers increase See MEAL, A14 HAPPY THANKSGIVING Thank you for being a reader of the Hermiston Herald.
