HERMISTON HERALD By ERIC SINGER STAFF WRITER The Hermiston Bulldogs begin their final athlet- ic year as members of the Oregon School Activities Association this fall and the football team is not shy in letting know what their goals are for the farewell season. “We definitely want to leave on a high note,” Hermiston senior Joey Gutierrez said confident- ly after practice Friday at Kennison Field. “We want to leave our mark on the state of Oregon and that’s what were going for this year.” The Bulldogs have the personnel to put together a successful 2017 season, as the team brings back numerous big-time con- tributors including QB An- drew James, star WR/DB Dayshawn Neal, a solid DB/WR in Gutierrez, RB/ LB Jonathan Hinkle and a host of solid offensive and defensive linemen. With that returning core plus a Special District 1 that could be a little more wide open this season with teams like Summit, Redmond, and Bend hit hard by gradu- ation, things on paper set up very well for the Bulldogs here in preseason. However, it is only late August and Hermiston knows there is still a lot of work left to do. The Bulldogs squad wrapped up its first week of practices with full gear and full contact last week on a warm Friday afternoon. Gutierrez said he was ec- static to get back into the swing of things. “It’s good to get a group of guys together who have put in the work in the sum- mer and now come out and chase a common goal,” Gutierrez said. “Now we have to pay attention to small details in practices in order to get these big New sports reporter hired for Hermiston office STAFF PHOTO BY ERIC SINGER Hermiston senior DB/WR Joey Gutierrez returns a kick during Friday’s practice at Kennison Field in Hermiston.

The Bull- dogs changed up their off- season goals to get a better start on the season, after Hermiston went 1-3 out of the gates in 2016 before finishing on a 4-1 stretch to make the playoffs. “We wanted to get big- ger, faster, stronger and de- velop leadership,” he said. “That’s a big focus for us, we have a good group of se- niors that want to be leaders and leave a legacy. We’re focusing on revolving our group around our senior class and it’ll take a lot of effort from the juniors and sophomores, but it’ll be fun.” Faaeteete said that he has about 100 kids in the pro- gram this season, and one thing that stands out to him about the group is a “strong desire to be successful.” “There’s a lot of guys that talk about (desire) and there are some great seniors that have been working hard and they know what it takes,” Faaeteete said. “They saw it their freshman year what putting it all to- gether looks like (for the state title) and they want to do it this year as well. They want to leave a legacy.” Their chance to leave the legacy the Bulldogs desire starts on Sept. 1 when they travel to Vancouver, Wash- ington, to take on Union, a team that beat the Bulldogs 38-27 at Kennison Field last season. “If we can play togeth- er as a team, we’ll go far- ther than we did last year,” Gutierrez said. “It’s more of an everybody type of team now, not just the 11 guys on the field and that’s good.” IN BRIEF Tee-off for Campus Life There are still some openings for the Campus Life Golf Tournament.
