Grant Union finishes shortened season on top in 44-38 win over Stanfield

The Prospectors carried the momentum of their dramatic win over Umatilla on the road to Stanfield, winning another close game 44-38. Grant Union finished the season with a winning record, going 3-2.

Jason Miller, Prospectors head coach, said the game was almost a “carbon copy” of the game against Umatilla.

He said one team would get the ball, march it down the field three yards and end up in a pile of dust and score. Then, he said the other team would get the ball and do the same thing all over again.

Miller said the Pros stepped up on defense and stopped them to finally “seal the deal.”

He said the season was certainly unusual but the team stepped up and were “gamers.”

“We had a great time,” he said. “I’m glad we got to do it for the seniors.”
