The Tigers would cut
the lead down to as little
as two points, but the Bull-
dogs didn’t budge. Herm-
iston played sound, smart
ball the last few minutes —
something that was a rarity
early in the season — and
with the help of some clutch
free throws from Smith and
Andrew Earl, the Bulldogs
held on to the lead.
Earl’s efforts off the
bench was the highlight
of Hermiston’s defense.
Despite some missed oppor-
tunities by the sophomore
in the fi rst half, Earl had
to back-to-back buckets to
put the Bulldogs up by two
possessions.
Then, on the fi nal
inbound with 7.6 sec-
onds left on the clock, Earl
jumped in front of a Tiger
for a steal and was fouled on
his breakaway to the basket.
He sunk both and pushed
the lead to 66-59.
La Grande hit a three to
eclipse 60 points in the fi nal
two seconds, but Earl had
already sealed the deal.
“He’s an athletic kid,

IRRIGON 51, NYSSA
33 — The fi rst half set the
tone for Irrigon, as the
Knights ran away with a
51-33 victory at home over
Nyssa.
They held the Bulldogs
(10-6 overall, 2-1 Eastern
Oregon League) to only two
points in the second half,
while scoring eight of their
own. After a 19-point per-
formance in the fi rst quar-
ter, the 8-2 advantage in the
second set the Knights (14-
only a sophomore, and it’s
nice to have a kid off the
bench to provide a spark
and he’s very quick when he
wants to be,” Arstein said of
Earl.
Arstein dug deep into his
bench, playing 10 of his 13
players. And for the guys
who didn’t touch the rock,
their efforts were still noted.
Hermiston stayed at
home for its league opener
Friday night. For all intents
and purposes, the Bulldogs
came into the game with a
clean slate — an 0-0 record
as they began Columbia
River Conference play with
a simple message.
“The message was, you
can’t worry about the past,”
head coach Casey Arstein
said. “We know we lost
some games we should have
won but at the same time I
thought even games we lost
we prepared for, got a little
bit better and we’ve played
good competition and that’s
huge going into league.”
Vs. The Dalles
Hermiston hosted The
Dalles for the fi rst of a
nine-game league schedule,
and drew away for a 78-61
victory.
It was the most points the
2, 3-1) for a strong fi nish.
Leading the charge was
senior Johnny Phillips with
16 points. Fellow senior
Abe Gomez chipped in 11
of his own.
For Nyssa, senior Boston
Thompson fi nished with a
game-high 17 points.
Irrigon will hit the road
before returning home, trav-
eling to Boardman on Tues-
day to face Riverside at
7:30 p.m.

WESTON-MCEWEN
71, STANFIELD 60 —
After losing to Pilot Rock at
home Friday, Weston-McE-
wen went on the road to face
Stanfi eld on Saturday and
the TigerScots rebounded
with a 71-60 over the host
school.
The Tigers (8-11 overall,
1-2 Columbia Basin Con-
ference) had a good game
plan coming into the game,
head coach Devin Bailey
said, but dropped passes and
missed lay-ins were what
hurt the team in the end.
Stanfi eld came out strong
with a 19-14 lead after the
fi rst quarter. The TigerScots
(6-12, 1-2) then answered
SPORTS
Bulldogs (6-9 overall, 1-0
CRC) have scored all sea-
son, and their aggressive-
ness on offense showed in
the opening quarter.
They came out with a
25-19 lead over the River-
hawks behind eight early
points from junior Adrian
Mendez. Mendez fi nished
with 18 points on the night.
Hermiston’s press forced
The Dalles to commit six
turnovers in the open-
ing quarter. The Bulldogs
moved well in transition,
passing along the perime-
ter before fi nding Mendez
under the basket for an easy
lay-in.
“When you play with
energy and emotion, good
things happen,” Arstein said.
“I thought the boys shared
the ball pretty well. We
weren’t shooting it like we
did against La Grande (on
Tuesday) but we hit some
outside shots, opened up and
Adrian did a good job spac-
ing inside and guys were
looking for him.”
Hermiston extended its
lead to as many as 18 points
before the half. After going
on a 13-4 run to push the
score to 41-23 and force a
Dalles’ timeout, the River-
hawks looked to their bench
and their top scorer, junior
Josh Nisbet, to cut their defi -
cit to only 11.
Nisbet continued to fi nd
good looks on offense and
hit three of his four 3-point-
ers in the third quarter to
keep The Dalles’ chances
alive.
After hitting the back-
to-back threes with a little
over three minutes left in the
third, he brought the River-
hawks within fi ve — their
narrowest margin of the
night.
But just as quickly as The
Dalles caught up to Hermis-
ton, the Riverhawks fell back
into a hole they wouldn’t be
able to get themselves out
of.
“I knew (The Dalles)
would make a run but we
made it a little bit too easy
for them there,” Arstein said.
“But I thought they kids
responded well — not every
quarter you’re going to win,
so we’ve got to fi nd ways to
capitalize when we can.”
Hermiston was able to do
that in the fourth. The Bull-
dogs were beating the Riv-
erhawks to the ball on their
missed free throw attempts
and went on a 13-7 run
to keep the scoreboard in
Hermiston’s favor.
with 19 points of their own
in the second. They fi n-
ished netting 24 points in
the fourth quarter to seal the
victory.
It was Weston-McE-
wen’s fi rst league win.
Senior Brett Speed was its
top scorer with a stunning
35 points. Fellow seniors
Kevin Rodriguez pitched
in 13 and Parker Munk
notched nine points of his
own.
Leading Stanfi eld was
senior Brody Woods with
28 points, he also grabbed
13 rebounds for a dou-
ble-double. Senior Blake
Bailey followed with 10
points, and nine assists,
and junior Hugo Hernandez
scored seven.
The Tigers will travel
to Pilot Rock on Friday
to face the Rockets, while
Weston-McEwen
will
return home to host Culver.

HELIX 39, ECHO 38
— Helix’s early lead helped
the Grizzlies when the game
came down to the wire.
They were up only 24-20
at halftime, and came out
of the break scoring in sin-
gle fi gures for the remaining
two quarters. But Helix was
able to hang on to its lead
and defeat Echo 39-38.
The Grizzlies (3-15 over-
all, 2-6 Old Oregon League)
were led by freshman Eli
Sprenger with 13 points.
For the Cougars (7-12, 4-4),
junior Devan Craig had a
team-best eight points with
seniors Zack Gehrke and Ty
Mulder each fi nishing with
seven.
Echo won’t take the
court again until Friday
when its hosts Pine Eagle

home to host back-to-back

ber of local schools traveled
to Heppner for the Bank of
Eastern Oregon Invitational.
In the eight-team fi eld,
Riverside was one of few
school to eclipse 100 points,
and claimed third place
(115). Irrigon, Hermiston
and host school Heppner
rounded out the rest of the
standings.
The Knights fi nished
with 64 points, good for
sixth place. The Bulldogs
brought a small team to the

Mustangs barely made it
over the 50-point mark,
and fi nished in eighth place
(52).
For Riverside, Fer-

a second place fi nish after
Joseph’s Steven Beckman

(13-2).
The Pirates also had a
sixth place fi nisher in the

just outside the top fi ve.
Five of Riverside’s wres-
tlers fi nished in third place:
Andrew Barker (120),
Christian Reyes (126),
Ethan Snyder (132), Jacob

CRANE — Over the

1A schools gathered to

The Echo Cougars sat
atop the leaderboard, win-
ning the championship by
4.5 points. Five Cougars fi n-
ished fi rst in their respective
weight class, one in second
place and the last wrestler to
place claimed third.
Kyle Ranger (126)

terfi nal round to then face

he pinned in 2:45.
Hayden Hilliard (132),
Mychael Pointer (145),
