Youth Football at Irrigon Jamboree

WAITSBURG—The Waitsburg Cardinals youth football team played Irrigon, Milton-Freewater, and Standfield in Irrigon on Saturday, September 20.

In the jamboree style format, the Cardinals won one game and lost two. Coach Morris said the boys learned a lot, and they will continue to work and hope for a good season.

“Ephraim Tarrance had some big plays on defense in the backfield,” said Morris. “Gavin Watkins saw a lot of action on offense, playing running back, and Myles Frasco was able to play a crucial role as quarterback. Frasco helped teammates with plays, he ran the offense and helped with tackles on defense,” added Morris

The youth football team will play in Athena, Oregon, on Saturday, September 27; kickoff at 10 a.m.
