Newspaper Page TextA10 • HERMISTONHERALD.COM WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 2017 SPORTS DAWGS FOOTBALL It all started with a fumble recovery 13 seconds into the game. Hermiston was in the perfect position to put pressure on Lewiston with an ear- ly touchdown, and an 8-yard carry from James did just that. Hinkle was the next to score. James’ 1-yard run on fourth down allowed Hermiston to maintain possession, and on the next play he found Hinkle to push their lead to 13-0. Hinkle wasn’t ﬁ nished. He found the end zone once more to send the Bulldogs into the locker room with a 20-0 advantage over the Bengals at halftime. While James and Earl set up the scoring drive, it was an interception in the end zone that kept Lewiston score- less and gave the ball back to Hermiston. “Momentum swings are huge,” Faae- teete said. “It’s the game of football. It’s a game of runs.” And the Bulldogs had one more big run left. An interception by Gutierrez in what was a dull third quarter gave the momen- tum back to the Bulldogs and three plays later James completed a highlight-reel worthy slant route to Dayshawn Neal, who found the end zone for Hermiston’s ﬁ nal touchdown of the game. Hinkle and Earl ﬁ nished with a com- bined 24 carries for 190 yards to lead the team. Neal, Hermiston’s top receiver of the night, tallied 107 yards off eight re- ceptions. Next up, Hermiston will travel to Mountain View on Sept. 15 to start league play. Kickoff is at 7 p.m. ———— Contact Alexis at sports@Hermis- tonHerald.com. Follow her on Twitter @almansanarez. Devan Craig had a big game for Echo with 102 passing yards and two touchdowns to go with 263 rushing yards on 17 carries with four touchdowns. Zack Gehrke also had a good game on the ground with 119 yards on 16 carries with one touchdown. Echo will next play Crane at North Powder on Friday at 1 p.m. GRANT UNION 44, HEPPNER 6 — At John Day, the Heppner Mustangs turned the ball over six times as they were rocked for the second straight week in a 44-6 loss to Grant Union on Friday. The Mustangs (0-2) ﬁ rst ﬁ ve offensive drives played out like this: safety, fumble, fumble, punt, fumble. Overall, Heppner lost ﬁ ve fumbles and had one in- terception, which is very un- characteristic for Heppner teams under Greg Grant. Heppner was out-gained in total yardage by the Pros- pectors (2-0) by a stunning 349 to 98 margin, with the Grant Union throwing for 168 yards and rushing against the usually-stout Mustang defense for 181 yards.

The Bulldogs played their ﬁ rst ﬁ ve setter, but the outcome was less than desirable. After taking an early 2-0 lead, Hermiston gave in to a Pasco comeback and lost the match 2-3. “They fought hard,” head coach Amy Dyck said of the girls performance. “To be honest, we sort of gave that away. We didn’t play our best, made some silly mistakes, and lost our focus and our discipline. It’s something we have re- ally been working at.” The Bulldogs took the ﬁ rst two sets 25-23, only to drop the third by the same two-point margin. Pasco’s efforts were slow and steady as it worked to build multiple leads in the ﬁ nal two sets. Although this was a tough blow to Hermiston’s efforts earli- er in the day, Dyck knows there’s still plenty left in the tank and as early as it is in the season she doesn’t mind saving some gas for later.

Heppner took this match, 25-18, 25-22. In the ﬁ nal round against the host school, Heppner dropped a set for the ﬁ rst time all day. However, the team quickly rallied after the 12-25 defeat and came back to win the tournament defeating Helix in the ﬁ nal two sets 25-18, 15-10. “It was a good day for the Mustangs,” head coach Mindy Wilson said. “I knew that it was going to be a long day, so we kept rotating girls in to keep ev- eryone’s energy up and it worked for us today. It was deﬁ nitely a team victory. I’m very proud of them.” Sophie Grant lead the team with 33 kills for the day. Jacee Currin lead with 47 assists for the day.

SOCCER Continued from Page A9 that [today],” Wattenburger said. “They did a great job connecting by playing as a unit.” Hermiston held Putnam scoreless until the ﬁ nal 9.8 seconds of the ﬁ rst half when a shot bounced off the crossbar and then bounced off the head of a Kingsman to send the ball just over the hands of sophomore goal- keeper Lanie Gomez. Putnam never relin- quished its 0-1 lead despite giving Hermiston enough chances for the equalizer, and then some. “If we could have ﬁ n- ished a few of our chances close in that goal mouth area, we would have been in a completely different situa- tion,” Wattenburger said. Boys soccer When the boys took the ﬁ eld, the tables turned. The Bulldogs (3-1) were up against a tough defense, and hardly took any shots on goal the ﬁ rst 20 minutes. While the offense displayed good ball control and com- munication to start, it strug- gled to get anything going. It was nearly the end of the ﬁ rst half when the Bulldogs DISH DEALS!! ! 190 Channels $ . 99 /mo.

Jayden Wil- son threw for 80 yards and one touchdown, but com- pleted just 5 of 20 passes in doing so. Wilson’s touch- down was a 31-yard pass to Peyton Lehman in the sec- ond quarter, which made it a 38-6 game at halftime.

Pedro Alvarez was the only consistent offensive weapon for Umatilla(1-1), rushing for 122 yards on 24 carries. Quarterback Kaden Webb threw for 66 yards on 8 of 15 completions with a touchdown and also ran for 13 yards with a touchdown.

Junior forward Jorge Palacios landed one in to give Hermiston a 1-0 lead 26 seconds before halftime. The Kingsman (0-2) held the Bulldogs to that lone goal, and after an ag- gressive start to the second half scored the equalizer af- ter a controversial penalty in the box. However, the 1-1 tie would last only seconds. This time, a penalty kick on the other side of the ﬁ eld gave Hermiston its lead back. Senior defender Esgar Avila placed his penalty kick just out of reach from Putnam’s junior goalkeeper Jesse Ensley. The Bulldogs maintained their lead for the remainder of the game, and will now travel to Hill- sboro with momentum on their side. “They responded well today, it’s not perfect but I’m very pleased with the result,” head coach Rich Harshberger said of the boys performance, and as far as the penalty kick ex- change he noted how well the boys kept their focus. “We didn’t hang our heads over it,” he contin- ued. “We didn’t let it crush our spirit.” Switch to DISH and Get a FREE Echo Dot “Alexa, go to HGTV.” Control your TV hands-free with DISH Hopper + Amazon Alexa LIMITED TIME!
