WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 2017 HERMISTONHERALD.COM • A9 Herald Sports Bulldogs thumped in league opener HERMISTON HERALD The Hermiston Bulldogs hit the road on Friday night to start league play against a very good Mountain View team, and once the fourth quarter expired the Bull- dogs showed they have a ways to go. Mountain View gashed Hermiston’s defense for 333 rushing yards on 49 attempts as the Cougars de- feated the Bulldogs, 28-7, in Bend. Overall, Mountain View out-gained Hermiston (1-2, 0-1 Special District 1) 406-187 and picked up 12 first downs to Hermiston’s four. The Cougars’ (3-0, 1-0) defense did not allow the Bulldogs to develop much of a passing game, as quar- terback Andrew James completed just 4 of 18 passes for 32 yards. James did lead the team with 128 rushing yards on 17 car- ries with a touchdown, as he surpassed 1,000 career rushing yards and 10 career rushing TDs. Behind James, running backs Peter Earl and Jon- athan Hinkle combined for just four rushing yards on 13 carries, and Payton Smith added 21 yards on two carries and Tyler Rohr- man had two yards on one carry. On defense, defensive lineman AJ Fernandez had an interception. Hermiston will travel back to Bend this week to play at Summit. ———— HHS 7 0 0 0 — 7 MTV 7 7 7 7 — 28 PASSING — (HHS) A.

PREP ROUNDUP Knights football grabs first win Irrigon sets home opener on Friday HERMISTON HERALD PASCO, Wash. — The Irrigon Knights were dis- appointed when their Week 2 game had to be canceled due to the smoke-filled air brought about by North- west wildfires. And after 14 days without game action, the Knights finally got back on the gridiron and earned their first victory of the sea- son with a 22-8 win over Tri-Cities Prep (WA) on Friday night at Chiawana High School. Irrigon (1-1) coach Steve Sheller gave a lot of cred- it for the win to his offen- sive line, as they controlled the line of scrimmage and opened up holes for run- ning back Josh Aguilera to eat up yardage and time on the clock. “That’s why we won because of those kids,” he said. “They controlled the line of scrimmage and just played really, really well.” The Knights defense was solid again as well, allowing Tri-Cities Prep’s only score when Irrigon’s offense fumbled deep in its own territory and gave TCP a short field. Outside of that, the Knights didn’t budge. “Our defense just does a really good job of play- ing assignment football,” Sheller said. Irrigon will next host Lakeview for its home opener this week at 7 p.m. Friday. RIVERSIDE 50, IM- BLER 18 — At Boardman, the Riverside Pirates dom- inated the Imbler Panthers in all facets on Friday night as the Pirates ran away with a 50-18 victory. Riverside (2-0) ran for 300 yards and was led by Aramis Corpus as he gained 190 of those yards with a pair of touchdowns. Riverside led by a 20-12 score at halftime, but made some adjustments on both sides of the ball to blow the game open and stay unbeat- en on the season. “The guys are very fired up,” coach Loren Dieter said of the 2-0 start. “The kids from Ione have synced in here and are playing very well, we had some great practices this week and it shows with how we’re playing.” Riverside will look to make it three straight wins this week at Mac-Hi. UMATILLA 30, EN- TERPRISE 18 — At Uma- tilla, the Vikings played an eight-man football game against the Outlaws and came out on top, 30-18, to get back above the .500 mark on Friday night. Umatilla (2-1) coach Dan Durfey said that Enter- prise had just enough kids for 11-man football, but is trying to keep kids healthy for league season, and the Vikings were happy to oblige. “It was a different look for our guys, but we came out ready to play,” Durfey said. “It was fun, I enjoyed it.” Umatilla ran the ball well with running back Pe- dro Alvarez as he picked up 192 yards on 25 carries and two touchdowns and Kaleb Webb ran for another 40 yards and a touchdown. Webb also threw for 101 yards and two scores, both to Pablo Ames. “We executed well in the first half and played a good defensive game,” Durfey said. “The defense just did everything they were sup- posed to do. It was a good game for the boys to get back with after last week’s loss.” Umatilla heads west this week to take on Portland Christian on Friday at 7 p.m. GRANT UNION 52, STANFIELD 16 — At Stanfield, the Tigers gave it their all but just couldn’t keep pace with the Prospec- tors as Grant Union hung Stanfield with a 52-16 loss on Friday night. Justin Keeney ran for 126 yards on 16 carries with a touchdown and Adrian Renner picked up 75 yards on 14 carries with a touchdown, but that was about all Stanfield could muster on offense. “We moved the ball well, just made mistakes,” Stanfield coach Davy Salas said. “But I’m proud of my guys, we made a lot of im- provement from last week. We have a lot of youth out there and I think we’ll be good at the right time.” Stanfield next plays at Regis in Stayton on Friday at 6 p.m. for a rematch of the 2016 state champion- ship game. See FOOTBALL, A11 PREP ROUNDUP Hermiston volleyball falters in Walla Walla Bulldogs couldn’t get anything going in road match HERMISTON HERALD The Bulldogs took to the road again after hosting two consecutive matches at Hermiston. They made the short trip up to Walla Walla, Washington, on Saturday where they were swept in three straight sets. “Walla Walla had a sea- soned, composed team that made very few errors,” head coach Amy Dyck said. “We are still learning how to win and how to stay aggressive even after we make a mis- take. Overall, it was a frus- trating loss for our girls be- cause we had to walk away knowing we hadn’t played our best.” Walla Walla took the match 8-25, 19-25, 12-25, which moved Hermiston’s losing streak to five consec- utive matches. CROSS COUNTRY The Hermiston cross country team joined a host of schools at the Oregon City XC Invitational, one of which included a league opponent: The Dalles. The girls were victorious over a team that has given them trouble in the post sea- son. The Bulldogs finished in fourth place with 125 points, while the River- hawks rounded out the top five with 137 points. “It’s good to see some- one else in the district and see how we suit up against them,” head coach Troy Blackburn said. The impressive perfor- mance came from a girls team that was not at full force. Overall, Hermiston was only running 27 of 40 runners due to injury or sickness. “I’m super proud of those who were there run- ning,” Blackburn said. “Even JV, everybody was dropping their times and showing great dedication.” The somewhat smoky conditions didn’t seem to bother any of the Bulldogs as almost all of the top fin- ishers recorded new per- sonal records. The most im- pressive performance was from senior Melany Solor- io, who ran sub-20 minutes in the girls 5,000-meter varsity race. She finished in seventh place, clocking 19:52.50. “To do that in her senior year is impressive,” Black- burn said. “She ran really fast.” Another top finisher for the girls team was Aman- da Nygard, the team’s No. 2 runner, who finished in 20:05.73 which was good for ninth place. Sidney Tov- ey and Shiela Solorio both placed in the top 25. Tov- ey finished in 23rd place (20:38.78) and Solorio in 25th (20:45.42). “It was a fast course and everyone competed and ran real fast,” Blackburn said. “A few ran their fastest time ever, which is impressive this early in the season.” The boys continued the streak as Angel Benites and Greg Anderson both ran their fastest times.

Follow sports on Twitter @HHeraldSports PREP ROUNDUP League play opens with hopeful performances Volleyball season welcomed league play and tough losses HERMISTON HERALD In the Bulldogs second volleyball match at home, the crowd provided an ex- tra boost for some of the players. Emma Combes had a standout perfor- mance with five aces, nine kills, and 14 digs. Masia Hancock racked up 43 digs. Both Breena Wade- amper and Kendall Dowdy had 11 assists, while Scout Reagan and Ireland Mc- Donough let the team with 7 kills each. “Emma really stepped up tonight and had one of her best matches so far,” Dyck said. “She was di- aled in on her attack lines, her serving, and on her defense. Masie also had an incredible night on de- fense, she has really settled into the role of our libero and embraced the responsi- bility that goes along with that.” PILOT ROCK 3, STANFIELD 0 — At Stanfield, the Rockets kicked off Columbia Ba- sin Conference play with a big win over Stanfield on Thursday night, winning 25-20, 25-12, 25-12. Grace Austin led the Rockets (9-3, 1-0) with 15 kills and four blocks and Rhyanne Oates had 12 kills. As a team, Pilot Rock served 18 aces and Siobhan Holman was the team’s leader in assists. “Overall our ability to execute and serve tough from the line gave us the win,” Rockets coach Elain- na Howland said. “It was fun to watch these young ladies tonight.” Stanfield’s (0-7, 0-1) defense turned in 19 digs with Kaylee Rice leading the way with five. Viviana O’Dell led the team with five kills while Kendra Hart had four assists and three blocks. “We will need to play with more volleyball smarts to be more success- ful in future games,” Stan- field coach Angie Connell said. Stanfield next plays in the Riverside tournament on Saturday, while Pilot Rock plays at Heppner on Tuesday. CULVER 3, HEP- PNER 0 — The Heppner Mustangs entered league play on a five-match win- ning streak, but all of that changed when it hosted Culver on Thursday. The Bulldogs had a streak of their own six consecutive wins, and only one loss so far this season. The success they have had would be the Mustangs misfortune. Cul- ver swept Heppner in three straight sets, 25-13, 25-19, 25-12. “Culver is a tough team and have historically been,” head coach Mindy Wilson said. “It was a good test for our first league game and showed us what we need work on for the future.” The Mustangs will con- tinue their season with a non-league tournament. Heppner will travel to Yakima, Washington, for the Yakima Tribal Tour- nament, which begins at 8 a.m. Friday.
