A 365-day job: Ray Hanson’s commitment to the Newport Rodeo
NEWPORT — Newport, Washington is a small but scenic community perched along the Washington–Idaho border, and a hallmark of that community is the Newport Rodeo. For Ray Hanson, the President of the Newport Rodeo Association, the rodeo is a 365-day job. “Because soon as our rodeo is over, we’re planning the next year’s already,” Hanson said. “If you’re not on top of it, you’re behind it...to be able to put out the best product for your community that’s coming to watch your events.” Hanson has been with the Newport Rodeo for 21 years and has spent the last 14 as the president, he said. Like many rodeo presidents, he wears a lot of hats to make the events happen.
Knights advance to districts quarterfinals
ROYAL CITY — The Royal Knights (12-2-1) earned a swift win over the Oroville Hornets 6-0 Tuesday to advance to the quarterfinals of the 1A district tournament. Though the win is great, Head Coach Jens Jensen felt the team could have been sharper. “Obviously we win, and that's great,” Jensen said. “Honestly, we didn't look like ourselves for large stretches. You have to maintain your level (of play). When you have a team that's just going to pack 10 guys in front of the ball, right down the center, and swarm the ball, then you have to move the ball quickly, and we've got to use the width (of the field) and try to spread them out... and it took us a little while to get that sorted out.”
