PENDLETON — It’ll go down in the books as a tie, a 2-2 draw between the Pendleton and Umatilla boys in a soccer match. But that’s not what Rob Hillmick’s gut was telling him as he watched the final moments drain off the clock Saturday. Ties don’t feel that bad.
“Honestly and truly this kind of feels like a loss,” he said. “I mean we’ll get out of here with a tie, but you could see the way they were kicking the ball deep out of bounds there as soon as they scored that second goal. They were happy with a tie. They wanted to get out of here.”
