WAITSBURG - Call it a triumvirate. Or football's version of the "triple-double." Waitsburg-Prescott running back Chance Leroue ran for a touchdown, caught a pass for a touchdown (twice actually) and threw a pass for yet another touchdown, as the Cardinals cruised to a 41-14 victory over Liberty here Friday night. On top of all that, Leroue also rushed for 167 yards, putting him over the 1,000 yard mark for the season. He also had 40 yards receiving. The win puts the Cardinals into the WIAA...

ASOTIN - The Dayton Bulldogs volleyball team placed third in district after losing in three against the Asotin Panthers but beating the DeSales Irish in four this weekend. Dayton placed after number one Tri-Cities Prep and number two Asotin.

"The girls are ready for the challenge," head coach Shannon Turner said. "It's always good to be one of the teams to go on. They're pumped about that. But...
CONNELL - After beating Northport on Saturday, the WP Tigers move on to host a tough St. George on Friday and Northwest Christian or Valley Christian on Saturday. Both games are at home in Prescott. The Tigers could not be stopped against winless Northport and against winds of up to 50 miles per hour blowing through the field at Connell. The team logged 16 goals and allowed Northport only one ineffective shot on goal compared to its own barrage of 63 shots. "We kind of knew going in," assistant coach Jay Potts said about their toothless o...
SPOKANE VALLEY - Cold, wind and rain added to the obstacles facing the WP Cross Country team at Saturday's District Meet at the Plantes Ferry Soccer Complex here. District 9 combines with District 7 with the top four Women's teams and 20 individuals and the top six Men's teams and 30 individuals qualifying for State. Two WP racers - Emily Adams and EJ Meserve - faced the elements and their competitors with the speed and perseverance necessary to advance to the state competition. Fres...
DAYTON - The Dayton Bulldogs made themselves proud Saturday in their first- round playoff game here Saturday, losing to #2 seed Valley Christian 1-0. The game was scoreless for 79 minutes before the panthers scored in the last minute, to avoid the upset. "As a coach, I could not ask more from a team," said coach DJ Frame. "It was an amazing game to watch. All 11 players on the field worked as a team." Frame said he is particularly encouraged that eight of his 11 starters will return next...
PASCO - At the end of regulation play in Friday night's game here between Waitsburg-Prescott and Tri- Cities Prep, the score was tied 35-35. That's ten total touchdowns. And, just as importantly, that includes ten successful PATs (points after touchdown, or extra points). WP kicker Antonio Benito and TCP kicker Hogan Jones were each perfect through 60 minutes. In the overtime period, each team had a chance to line up on offense at the opposition's 25-yard-line and attempt to score. WP won t...
MOSES LAKE - The WP Tigers finished their season 12-4 overall and 4-0 in league, securing the top seed in the soccer playoffs. They face Northport in Connell at 1 p.m. Saturday, and are expected to breeze past this first winless playoff opponent before facing a much tougher team - likely arch rival St. George of Spokane. "We'll be ready to play," assistant coach Jay Potts said about this weekend's first playoff test. "We'll be up for it." The Tigers won their last two games of the season. They beat Irrigon 5-0 on Friday and Moses Lake 4-1 o...
WAITSBURG - "It was another great day!" said WP cross country Coach Joanna Lanning, referring to Thursday's District 9 Big Cross League Meet in Pasco. The WP Men's team placed third behind Asotin and Tri- Cities Prep, and ahead of Pomeroy. Freshman Emily Adams (20:28) was fourth among 38 runners in the women's 5000 Meter race, in spite of taking a spill on the course. "Emily was running very strong in second place the last half of the meet," said Lanning. "Then she fell on the back side of...
DAYTON - The Lady Bulldogs may have lost their last two games, but the league's third-placed team is going into the district playoffs confident they can play well together, head coach Shannon Turner said. "We're excited," Turner said after seeing that her team could keep its poise against a dominant opponent in Weston McEwen. "We didn't play timid. We played well. Even though we lost, the girls were pumped about how they played against such a strong program." Dayton lost against the...
WAITSBURG - In spite of the defection of the opposing team's coach to their team, the WP Alumni Team was no match for the Lady Cards at Thursday night's Homecoming game. Youth won out over experience with the younger ladies winning the game in a three-set match. Spirits were high as fans - some unsure of which team to root for - filled the bleachers. The flag was lowered and Mikala Deruwe transfixed the crowd by singing a stirring rendition of the National Anthem. Amidst cheers and app...
WAITSBURG - The Waitsburg-Prescott Cardinals suffered their first home loss in five years Friday, falling short to Asotin on Homecoming night, 34-21. The defeat broke a home winning streak of 25 games. WP's last home loss was also to Asotin, in October 2008. In the game, WP quarterback Owen Lanning completed 12 of 24 passes for 177 yards. Normally those would be stellar QB numbers, but the five interceptions he threw helped seal the deal for the Panthers. "Asotin played a better foot...
DAYTON - The Dayton Bulldogs won their first game of the season Friday night at home against Riverside of Boardman, 14-6. Bulldog coach Dean Bickelhaupt said he was relieved to finally have a notch in the win column. Bickelhaupt said that the game was mostly a defensive battle in the first half. The first score of the game came six seconds before halftime, when Dayton linebacker Andrew Mendoza scooped up a Riverside fumble and ran it in from the 35 yard line. The attempted two-point co...
DAYTON - The Dayton Bulldogs kept Friday night's homecoming game close in the first half, but couldn't overcome a more experienced Tri-Cities Prep team, losing 27-0. Dayton's defense held the Jaguars to one touchdown in the first half and ended the half with a valiant goal-line stand. But after quarterback Christian Warner gave up three interceptions, the bulldogs lost control of the game in the second half. Warner had no completions, but the 'dogs had a balanced running attack, with Wa...
SPOKANE - The WP Tigers advanced their record to 9-4 Friday, after beating the second-year Valley Christian soccer team 3-0. "We played really well," assistant coach Jay Potts said about his team's first- ever encounter with the Panthers, another young program. In particular, WP took advantage of the scoring opportunities when they presented themselves in the often crowded box in front of their opponents' goal. "They're very defensive- minded," Potts said about the Panthers. "They pack the box and you're scoring not so much against the...
Each team member set a new PR at Clarkston meet CLARKSTON - According to Coach Joanna Lanning, the WP cross-country team "shone brighter than the sun" at the District 9 League Meet here Thursday, with each runner setting a personal record for the year. The WP Men's team placed second, ahead of Pomeroy and following Asotin. "We competed on the same course as our Sept. 21 meet, so the race was an excellent indicator to see where we are as we come into the final stretch of the season," sai...
DAYTON - After a week of losses, the Dayton Bulldogs prevailed over their cross-valley rivals, the WP Cardinals in 3, but the Waitburg Prescott team had to go without two of its starters. The Bulldogs won 25-9, 25-8 and 25-17 in a victory head coach Shannon Turner attributed to "better passes, communication, teamwork" and fewer unforced errors which all "gave us another win. Effort was made by all." WP head coach Angie Potts said freshmen Jade Alleman and Taylor Hayes "filled in at middle b...
WAITSBURG - The Lady Cards bid farewell to their final chance to qualify for post season play with two losses last week. Tuesday's loss against the Bulldogs in Dayton was followed by a loss Thursday in an away game against Asotin. " Both matches have been tough," said Coach Angie Potts. The Asotin Panthers downed the Cardinals in a three set match on the Panther court with scores of 25-11, 25-15, and 25-10. Paige Wood dished out seven kills while making six digs and one block. Enedina Fu...
MABTON - The WP Cardinals extended their record to 4-1 with a dominating victory over Mabton Friday night on the road. The Cards built up a 26-6 halftime lead before cruising to a 46-8 final score.

He completed nine of 16 attempts, for 173 yards and had one pass intercepted. Running back Chance Leroue had two touchdowns and rushed for a tot...
MILTON FREEWATER - The WP Men's cross-country team placed eighth out of eight teams in the aptly named 5,000 Meter Gutbuster meet at the Milton Freewater Golf Course on Friday. Runners raced through the golf course and around the track before tackling the "gutbuster" of a hill behind the golf course, descending, and heading for the finish. "It was a very tough course, with a big hill with rough footing in many place," said Coach Joanna Lanning. On the women's side, Emily Adams placed 7th ou...
PRESCOTT - If Friday's game against the St. George Dragons is any indication of the Tigers' playoff chances, the team has made improvements. But the 2-0 loss against the powerful opponent from Spokane also means WP isn't quite there yet. "They were the better team Friday," assistant coach Jay Potts said. "But we have more talent and need to get better results. We played really well." Potts said the Tigers, playing at home, controlled the game for most of its duration. At the half, the game was a scoreless standoff. "It was a back and forth...
WAITSBURG - Time is running out for the Lady Cards to qualify for the November 2 league tournament, which makes Thursday night's loss to Tri Cities Prep all the more disappointing. "Only four teams qualify for the league tournament," said WP Coach Angie Potts. "We either need to win two and DeSales doesn't win another match, or we need to beat DeSales and force a tie breaker match." The Jaguars took a strong lead in set one of Thursday's match, maintaining it to win the set 25-12. "In the f...
DAYTON - The Lady Bulldogs' winning streak came to an end last week with losses against number one Tri Cities Prep and second-place rival Asotin. "This was a tough week for us," head coach Shannon Turner said. "We went five games with both of these teams earlier in the season and only lost by two points in the fifth game. We just didn't go out and play as a team this (past) week." By contrast, Dayton lost to TCP in four sets last Tuesday - 5-25, 21-16 (for Dayton), 10-25 and 21-25, and in three...
