Perhaps the moment
Arstein was most proud of
was the final 30 seconds
of the overtime period, as
Hermiston’s defense put
together its best stand of
the game. The Bulldogs de-
fenders stayed right in the
faces of the Dallas players,

not allowing an open look
from the 3-point line for
nearly the entire 30 seconds
until Dallas attempted a
prayer shot from the corner
as time expired.
“In the huddle we talk-
ed about that they (Dal-
las) gotta go for a three,”
he said. “I was mainly
concerned with getting
slipped on a screen or not
fouling, but I thought the
guys did a good job of
grinding one out.”

He urges people to
move it away from the
street onto a lawn or
planter area. If that’s not
possible, Sivey said it’s
fine to pile it right next
to the curb and along the
gutter area.
“The worst thing
that people do is they
make big piles out in
the street and when we
plow by we’re gonna
plow it back,” he said.
“So we end up playing a
game that way back and
forth.”

same schools, minus Reyn-
olds, which would move
down to Class 5A because
of lack of recent success and
lower participation turn-
outs in comparison to other
6A schools. Usher says he
and many athletic directors
across the state are in favor
of this proposal.
“One thing I like about
it, and other AD’s agree, is
you end up getting rid of
situations where schools,
like The Dalles, have to go
independent in football be-
cause of safety issues being
low on numbers,” he said.
“Good example for us, we
consistently suited up one

At this point, the big-
gest question that remains
is which classification will
be the top group starting in
2018. The OSAA commit-
tee is considering propos-
als with both five and six
classifications. One other
option being considered is
a five-classification model
for all sports excluding foot-
ball, which would have a
six-classification system.
The latest proposal still
had Hermiston in the 6A Mt.
Hood Conference with the
sophomore full-time and
that was starting quarter-
back Andrew James, where
if we go play schools like
La Grande or Baker that
have 700 kids fewer than
us, they’ll be consistently
suiting up sophomores and
freshmen.
“It creates some safety
issues when you have some
big, strong 17-18-year-
old men going up against
15-year-old kids and that’s
tough to do.”
Another
consequence
that could come out of a
Hermiston move is the pos-
sible hiatus of the rivalry
with Pendleton in some cas-
year, and Johnson’s team
is up for January.
“Our team commander
sends out the federal info
to us and asks us if we
want to go,” he said.
The teams provide
medical assistance, and
are akin to hospital units
that can set up anywhere.
“We basically can take
care of ourselves for up
to three days,” Johnson
said. The group was cre-
ated in 2000, and Johnson
was one of the charter
members for Oregon’s
team. The team has pro-
vided medical care at ca-
tastrophes like hurricanes
es, mainly football. The two
teams have met on the foot-
ball field nearly every year
since 1922, but as Pendleton
projects an enrollment of
779 in 2018 it would remain
in the second-highest classi-
fication and play its way out
of Hermiston’s schedule.
“It was something that
was brought up with our
boosters earlier, that it’s
a real possibility that last
year could very well be the
last time we host a foot-
ball game against Pend-
Rita and Katrina, as well
as been present at other
events — such as when
international figureheads
visit the U.S. — to pro-
vide medical care if nec-
essary.
“Our medical team was
one of the teams (there)
for the pope’s visit,” he
said, recalling his most re-
cent deployment.
In order to work the
event, paramedics and
team members had to be
vetted and cleared at a
federal level. Johnson said
with the animosity sur-
rounding this year’s elec-
tion and inauguration, it’s
possible his team will see
more issues.
“It has the potential to
be challenging for securi-
leton for a while,” Usher
said. “We could end up in
a situation where we’re in
a nine- or 10-team league
and we have eight or nine
conference games. We
wouldn’t be playing them
anymore, maybe not in
any sports.
“Looking at non-confer-
ence opportunities, we’re
still going to be like we are
now, forced to find in-state
teams in the same classifica-
tion as much as possible. If
it provides opportunities to
ty,” he said of working the
inauguration. “We know
from that standpoint —
the federal government
— security is one of their
strong points. But every
deployment has the poten-
tial. This one is more po-
litically active.”
The team does a lot of
training, some for specif-
ic activities and some for
general maintenance and
preparation.
“Our job is to be there,
and to be available for any-
thing that happens at a mo-
ment’s notice,” he said.

Sperr said the effort was
important, not only to pro-

“We are trying to build
