2016 MEETING: Union 36, Hermiston 27
GAME NOTES: This is Hermiston’s final season playing as an Oregon school. The Bulldogs will join the WIAA in 2018-19. The Bulldogs have experience up front for its ground attack led by Jonathan Hinkle and Dayshawn Neal. Neal can be used all over the field. New faces have arrived to give Union a boost — Darien Chase from Mountain View and Dustin Nettles from Evergreen. Junior RB JoJo Siofele returns after missing most of last season with a knee injury. All that, and QB Lincoln Victor, give Titans’ optimism heading into the season.
