Irrigon beats Umatilla to end league play Late two-point conversion comes up short for Umatilla By BRETT KANE STAFF WRITER STAFF PHOTO BY E.J. HARRIS Kamiakin quarterback Lucas Castilleja rushes the ball in the Braves 34-27 win against Hermiston on Friday in Hermiston. FOOTBALL Continued from Page A10 James pass was picked off, and Kami- akin drove to the 4-yard line. Hermis- ton held them up on three plays, but on fourth down quarterback Lucas Cas- tilleja found Niko Wiltz in the back of the end zone to give Kamiakin a 20-12 lead which it took into the half as rain began to fall. Hermiston tied the game 20-20 in the third quarter on an Andrew James keeper, and he added a 2-point conver- sion on the ground. Altahir scored on a 63-yard run to put Kamiakin back on top, and scored again with 2:47 left to extend that lead. A pivotal play happened between the scores when a Kamiakin punt hit a member of Hermiston’s return team in the back, giving the ball right back to the Braves. Despite the bad bounce and back-to-back scores, Hermiston fought back hard. “I’m proud of our guys for bounc- ing back,” James said. “We could have quit. It would have been the easiest thing to quit right there, but we came back and made it a game. That makes me happy.” A screen pass to Wyatt Noland was the capper on the next drive and put Hermiston within reach at 34-27, and the defense forced a punt to keep the game interesting. “Football is like life,” Faeteete told his team after the game. “Just as everything is going great, it punches you in the face. The lessons we learn from football is an opportunity to end the season right. It’s not the end of the road.” Hermiston will play in a district crossover game next weekend to end its first season in the Washington con- ference. James, while disappointed to miss the playoffs in his senior sea- son, said he felt good about the first campaign. “We showed we could do in Herm- iston and we set the stage for all the classes coming up,” he said. ——— Hermiston Bulldogs (6-3, 5-3) vs. Kamiakin Braves (5-4, 5-3) Kamiakin 0 20 0 14 34 Hermiston 3 9 8 7 27 1st 7:36 – HHS Juan Carlos Navarette 31 yard field goal 3-0 2nd 9:55 – HHS Youbani Razon 3 yard reception from Andrew James (Navarette PAT) 10-0 8:55 – KHS Tuna Altahir 2 yard rush (Kaden Shymanski PAT blocked Jordan Ramirez) 6-10 5:21 – HHS Cody WIzner sack of punter Caesar Salas for safety 12-6 2:11 – KHS Altahir 43 yards (Shymanski PAT) 13-12 0:19 – KHS Niko Wiltz 3 yards reception from Lucas Castilleja (Shymanski PAT) 20-12 3rd 4:53 – HHS James 5 yard rush (James 2 pt rush) 20-20 4th 10:56 – KHS Altahir 63 yard rush (Shymanski PAT) 27-20 2:47 – KHS Altahir 11 yard rush (Shymanski PAT) 34-20 2:13 – HHS Noland 18 yard reception from James (Nava- rette PAT) 27-34 Passing – HHS Andrew James 14-35-1-178-2; KHS Lucas Castilleja 3-10-0-15-1 Rushing – HHS Wyatt Noland 20-107, Andrew James 18-90, Jordan Ramirez 2-14; KHS Tuna Altahir 30-275, Lucas Castilleja 17-74, Kelen Rutz 3-16 Receiving – HHS Jordan Ramirez 7-126, Youbani Razon 2-24, Garrett Walchli 2-5, Wyatt Noland 2-17, Cody Thacker 1-6; KHS Niko Wiltz 1-3, Kelen Rutz 1-14, Woodley Downard 1-(-2) Irrigon’s final league game was its first league win on Thursday night. And it might earn the team a spot in the playoffs. The Knights honored their seniors and defeated Umatilla in a nail-biting 30-28 victory at home to close the Special District 3 schedule. Payton Smith scored the first touchdown for Irrigon with a 33-yard run with 7:09 on the clock. Umatilla made sure Irri- gon lived up to the “Fightin’ Knights” nickname, going touchdown for touchdown through the game. Quar- terback Andrew Earl and running back Trent Durfey proved to be the Vikings’ secret weapon and quickly responded by putting their team ahead 8-6 with a touchdown from Earl and a 2-point conversion from Durfey. But the first quar- ter was the only one to fin- ish in the Vikings’ favor. “Umatilla was ready for us,” Irrigon head coach Ken Thompson said. “They came out and ran that power formation, and DENTAL Itsuratce took it to us the whole night.” Irrigon opened the sec- ond quarter by reclaim- ing the lead — a pass from Keith Fleming to Lino Covarrubia for 60 yards and a touchdown. Wide receiver Ruben Moreno scored on the conversion to give the Knights a 14-8 lead. The Vikings tied it up soon after when Durfey ran it into the end zone for a 14-14 tie. Smith scored on the Knights’ next possession, and Durfey scored a touch- down and a 2-point con- version for the Vikings to end the half at a 22-22 tie. Irrigon put its final eight points on the scoreboard in the third quarter with a 17-yard pass from Ryan Hussey to Fleming in the end zone, topped off with a 2-point conversion scored off a pass from Fleming to wide receiver Caleb Adams. The fourth quarter almost saw a Umatilla comeback after Earl com- pleted an 8-yard pass to Durfey in the end zone for another Vikings touch- down, but Irrigon’s defen- sive line stopped the 2-point conversion to give the Knights the victory. “We started out slow, but came together in the second half and just kept rolling,” Fleming said after the win. “We fought hard till the end.” Re-elect Physiciats Mutual Itsuratce Compaty For Hermiston City Council A less expetsive way to help get the dettal care you deserve Out-of-market games only.
