Edmiston eager for larger
role on new college team
By MATT ENTRUP
Staff Writer
For Lewis-Clark State
freshman Jansen Edmis-
ton, leadership has always
come naturally.
A four-year starter at
point guard for the Herm-
iston Bulldogs, Edmiston
had grown comfortable as
that player others look to
for guidance.
But when she joined
the Warriors as the team’s
only true freshman prior
to the 2016-17 season, the
two-time All-East Orego-
nian Player of the Year
was glad she had some es-
tablished veterans to learn
from.
“I think I’ve learned
how to play a role,” she
said recently in a phone
interview. “I was leader
for so long in Hermiston,
but playing behind a cou-
ple All-Americans you’re
going to learn from them
and it was nice having that
and having somebody else
to step up and have them
teach me. Every day they
would make me better.”
Like she did in high
school, Edmiston made
the transition to the next
level quickly and ap-
peared in all 37 games as
the Warriors posted pro-
gram records for wins and
winning percentage, 35-2
(.946), and reached their
first NAIA Champion-
ship. The Warriors lost in
the championship game,
73-66, to Oklahoma City
— which won its ninth
title overall and third in
four seasons.

IS-CLARK STATE ATHLETICS
Warriors freshman Jansen
Edmiston prepares to
shoot a free throw during
a game this season in
Lewiston, Idaho. Edmiston
led her team in free throw
percentage going 31 for 36
(86.1 percent).
Edmiston went 2-for-2
from three-point range for
six points and also had six
rebounds in 11 minutes
of playing time (about a
minute more than her sea-
son average) in the title
loss.
“I mean I got a lot of
playing time for a fresh-
man, I don’t know that I
thought I would play that
much,” she said. “I kind
of just went out there with
the mindset that it was
just another game, I think.
That’s really why I played
so well.
“When we went to na-
tionals it was crazy how
many people were there
supporting us. It was
amazing. … When I came
back (to Hermiston) and
so many people were tell-
ing me they watched the
game, you don’t realize
BULLDOGS:
continued from Page A10
how many people actually
support you.”
She said one of the rea-
sons she chose the War-
riors was their winning
ways under coach Brian
Orr, but she was still in
awe of the team’s accom-
plishment even weeks af-
ter the season ended.
“Thirty-five and two in
a season, not many people
can say that? Most wins
for a season this year.
It’s going to be hard not
to compare back to such
a great season, and being
your first year,” she said.
“But it’s going to be dif-
ferent, it’s going to be a
new team.
“You know, a na-
tional championship is
pretty huge. It would be
awesome if we got there
again, but during the sea-
son we made so much
progress. We will have a
bunch of people returning
but we’re going to miss
four starters so that’s go-
ing to be a little bumpy.”
There will be room for
Edmiston to carve out a
larger role for herself as a
sophomore. She’ll be one
of four returning guards,
of which she was just be-
hind junior Lauren John-
son for playing time.
Edmiston said she’s
eager to make the most of
the opportunity and has
been working hard to im-
prove her jump shot and
defense, as well as hitting
the weight room with reg-
ularity. She also managed
to find time to earn a 4.0
GPA her first semester.
just a confident kid and
I’ll take that every minute
of every game, a guy that
comes up and takes a deep
breath and just does it.”
After Schwirse departed
the game, Ramirez came
on worked himself out of
trouble. The first Eagle
batter he faced reached on
an error and then a two-out
walk set up a first-and-
third situation with two

ward to it, building up and
becoming a better player.”
Blue Mountain coach Art
Mota was also in attendance
Wednesday, and said that
the chemistry with the six
guys was a big draw for him,
though he’s just excited about
bringing in six quality players
to help build the foundation
of the program.
“I know that coach (Rich)
Harshberger has been doing
some great things here and
this is evidence of that,” Mota
said. “These kids are well-
coached, they know each oth-
er and it’s going to be an easy
transition for them to come
in and help us take those first
steps for the program.”
The Bulldog players will
be joined at BMCC by other
players from Pendleton, Irri-
gon, Umatilla and Riverside
high schools, which has Mota
looking forward to getting the
season started.
“I’m just happy to bring
in talent from our area and
I think all the young guys
know what they’re coming
into,” Mota said. “They’re
making history and I’ve told
them all the same thing, what
outs, with the run on first
representing the tying run.
But Ramirez escaped with
an easy fly out to center-
field to keep Hermiston on
top.
Ramirez finished off the
game in the seventh with
two easy groundouts and
an easy fly ball to left field
for the final out. Hawkins
said that this win could be
a launching point for his
Bulldogs.
“We know we can com-
pete with teams like Hood
River,” Hawkins said.

ever standard you set is what
everyone else has to follow.
It’ll be challenging because
the NWAC is tough, but I
think we’re putting together a
real good group for this first-
year team.”
Harshberger had a wide
smile on his face as he stood
back and watched his players
sign their letters on Wednes-
day. His Hermiston teams
have always had talent, but
the opportunities in college
were few and far between.
He was happy when BMCC
started up a soccer team and
hopes that now with the col-
lege starving for local talent,
this is just a start of a pipe-
line from Hermiston High to
BMCC.
“Hopefully we keep see-
ing these kind of numbers
going out, and seeking sec-
ondary education and realiz-
ing the opportunity is there
for them,” Harshberger said.
“I feel like I’ve had this talent
for several years, but always
that college was somewhat
unattainable but this is great
because it shows you there
are opportunities.
I try to tell them that if you
want to play, there’s a spot for
you but I don’t know that it
speaks as loudly as actually
having six, seven guys sign-
ing to play like today.”
Also joining the six Bull-
dogs at BMCC will be 2016
Hermiston graduates Andy
Corcuera and Ayden Prewitt,
who are already enrolled at
BMCC and are happy to be
re-joining former teammates
there as well. Prewitt said
he always kept his eye on
BMCC after he found out
the school would be starting
a men’s team last season and
knew it could be a good op-
portunity for him.
Corcuera said that when
he left Hermiston, he figured
his competitive soccer career
was over but he is glad that he
has another chance.
“I never thought I’d be
playing at the college level,
maybe just for fun instead,”
Corcuera said. “I’m just look-
ing forward to the start of the
season now.”
Overall, seven of the
Hermiston boys soccer se-
niors will be playing colle-
giately as Freddy Rodriguez
signed with Walla Walla
Community College in Janu-
ary. So after playing with Ro-
driguez for years, the six fu-
ture T-Wolves will be playing
against and trying to beat their
friend during the NWAC sea-
son, a game they collectively
looking forward to.
“They’ve been very, very
successful and it’s good to
get this one and the kids
will build on it. Now we’ll
worry about getting the
first one with The Dalles.”
