La Grande girls tie Mac-Hi, boys lose

MILTON-FREEWATER —The La Grande girls soccer team played to a 1-1 tie with Mac-Hi Thursday. Both teams played tough defense and never really got the offense going in this one.

The Tigers came into the game relatively healthy, something they haven’t done in recent games. Head coach Elena Nightingale said she was pleased for the most part with her teams performance.

“It was nice to have everyone back, but I don’t think we were in as good of shape conditioning wise because of the injuries,” she said.

ELGIN — Most people don’t see volleyball as an endurance sport. But those at Elgin High School Thursday can verify it is.

“I can’t be disappointed with the way the girls played,” Elgin head coach Twila Ivins said. “We just got swept the week before, and then we play the No. 1 team  to five games.

ELGIN — A sense of relief swept over Elgin volleyball fans and head coach Twila Ivins after the Huskies played Helix.

Elgin took care of the visitors in four games, 25-18, 25-14, 22-25, 25-17. But it was the way Huskies played that set their coaches’ mind at ease.

“We didn’t play very well at all last weekend,” Ivins said. “The girls got some venting out over the weekend, and now we’re back to playing well.

That’s what makes this group of girls so fun to work with.”
