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

goals ... when you’re start-
ing small and getting those
down, you can work toward
those big things.”
Third-year head coach
David Faaeteete said he’s
pretty pleased with the ef-
fort and results from the
team for the first week, as
they continue to build on the
hard work put in throughout
the summer in the weight
room, in 7-on-7, and other
team workouts. 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.”
