LA GRANDE – So, a basketball game Wednesday night may be an early sign the preseason polls are correct. On the road for the first game of the season, the 3A Nyssa girls’ basketball team downed 4A La Grande, 45-26.
The Bulldogs led 23-17 at the half and used a 16-point third quarter to cruise to the win.

For La Grande, both Gracie Neer and Makenna Shorts finished with eight points.
