SPORTS THE DAILY ASTORIAN • MONDAY, MARCH 9, 2015 7A Season ends one day early for Knappa By MIKE WEBER For the Daily Astorian PENDLETON — For the Knappa boys basketball team, a remarkably successful season concluded unfor- tunately one day earlier than expect- ed. After losing 56-54 in overtime to Heppner in a Class 2A state tour- QDPHQW TXDUWHU¿QDO JDPH 7KXUV- day, the Loggers hoped they could bounce back and get a win Friday. The Loggers, in the tournament IRUWKH¿UVWWLPHLQIRXU\HDUVZDQW- ed to resume their quest for a trophy while playing in the consolation bracket of the prestigious three-day, eight-team event Friday at the Pend- leton Convention Center arena. The No. 6-ranked Northwest League champion Loggers, guided by coach Chris Spencer, faced the No. 8-ranked Western Mennonite Pioneers (20-9) in an elimination contest. The Loggers never really recovered from Friday’s heartbreak- ing defeat, as they were out of sync offensively and unable to focus on playing up to their potential as they lost 39-26 to the Pioneers. “There’s nothing wrong about ending your season in Pendleton, no matter how you do it,” Spencer said. “We played as hard as we possibly could against two very good ball clubs. Western Mennonite has skilled players all the way through their lineup and they’re a well-coached team. The loss to Hep- pner took more out of us than we real- ized, so I think that had something to do with our performance today. I think things might’ve gone a little different if we could’ve had a couple of shots fall earlier in the game. They were the same usual shots we’ve always been taking, but their (Pioneers) zone defense really didn’t allow Ty- son much room to work effectively.” Western Mennonite’s traditional- ly successful program enables them to be a title contender year after year and that was obvious Friday as they SOD\HGQHDUÀDZOHVVEDVNHWEDOOIURP VWDUWWR¿QLVK The Pioneers jumped in front 13- 0, while almost holding the Loggers VFRUHOHVV LQ WKH ¿UVW TXDUWHU$ IUHH throw line jump shot by Knappa senior Chase Rusinovich with 3.8 seconds left in the quarter, made the score 13-2 after one. “We usually rely on Tyson and having him do his thing, while he can also kick the ball out to some other guys to take make shots, but that just wasn’t happen- ing,” Spencer said. “They were able to defend Tyson a lit- tle better than we expected and they certainly made a good defensive ef- fort.” Despite the early GRXEOHGLJLW GH¿FLW the Loggers never gave up and fought back in the sec- ond when they held the Pioneers VFRUHOHVV IRU PRUH WKDQ ¿YH PLQ- utes.

Western Mennonite, the Tri River Conference runnersup to Regis, had a 7-0 run at the outset of the third to really take control, up 27-8. The Pioneers, led by coach Gary Hull, outscored the Loggers 14-5 in the third to extend their lead to 34-13 after three quarters. Knappa didn’t quit and they VFRUHG WKH ¿UVW VL[ SRLQWV RI WKH fourth on a jumper by Rusinovich, followed by back-to-back baskets by standout senior guard Tyson Bur- nard, making it 34-19. “It’s a hard journey just to get to Pendleton and it’s every team’s goal to be here,” said Burnard, who was selected for a second time in the tour- nament as the Moda Health Player of the Game. “All in all, we’re happy that we made it here even though we lost two games. We played our hearts out in the Heppner game last night and it was just hard to respond well after having such a heartbreaking loss. Our shots just weren’t going in today and that’s the main reason we had such a tough loss.” The 26 Logger point total was their lowest output of the season. “Knappa is a good team, they’re well coached and No. 21 (Burnard) is a great player, who is very quick, athletic and a good shooter,” Hull said. The game marked the conclusion of their basketball career for Knap- pa seniors Burnard, Justin Dragoo, Andy Miller and Rusinovich. Dragoo led Knappa in rebounds with eight and he was an intimidating defensive force inside with four blocked shots. Dragoo had nine blocked shots in the previous game versus Heppner. “What Tyson has done in the playoffs recently (118 points in three previous games) is almost legend- ary back home in Knappa,” Spencer said. “The run he’s had with all the points he scored was something in- credible and he kind of carried the team on his back. Justin Dragoo worked so hard under the hoop in blocking shots and rebounding and for a 6-foot-1 guy, he really plays like he’s 6-5. Chase Rusinovich was one of our main reserves all year and I was really proud of what he has contributed. Andy Miller has been one of our top scorers when he’s healthy, but he’s had injuries all year that has really reduced his ef- fectiveness. We just needed some other guys to step up and have strong performances, but it just didn’t happen today.” The disappointing conclusion of their season with two straight losses, shouldn’t overshadow the fact that the Loggers did have a fantastic year. Knappa was in the Elite Eight of the 43-team Class 2A level competing in high school basketball’s version of “March Madness.” Being in Pendle- ton is an impressive accomplishment that every team hopes for at the con- clusion of the season and the Log- gers have a lot of things to feel very proud about this year. Fear of never winning again motivates champion Harvick LAS VEGAS (AP) — It sure looks as though Kevin Harvick hasn’t missed a beat since wrap- SLQJ XS KLV ¿UVW FDUHHU 6SULQW Cup title three months ago. The 2014 champion grabbed KLV ¿UVW ZLQ RI WKH VHDVRQ RQ Sunday at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, where he continued his hot start to his sophomore season at Stewart-Haas Racing. +DUYLFN ¿QLVKHG VHFRQG LQ WKH season-opening Daytona 500, was second last week at Atlanta and, dating to last season, has six FRQVHFXWLYHWRSWZR¿QLVKHV He also has won three of the last six races dating to last sea- son.

We’re go- ing to approach next week like we’ve never won a race because that’s what keeps it fun and that’s what keeps us motivated.” Except next up for Harvick? A stop at Phoenix, where Har- vick has won four of the last ¿YH UDFHV +LV 1RYHPEHU ZLQ pushed him into the champion- ship race. Harvick on Sunday led 142 of the 267 laps, and beat Martin 7UXH[-UWRWKH¿QLVKZKLOHEDW- tling a vibration that developed DIWHUKLV¿QDOSLWVWRS “It got to be a handful there at the end,” Harvick said. “For whatever reason, we got really, really loose the last run. Tires started vibrating and we were just kind of hanging on. Glad the race is over for our own good.” Harvick now has a win that gives him a near-certain berth in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship, where he’d be guaranteed a shot to defend his title. The Chase format awards slots into the playoff via regu- lar-season wins. “It feels pretty good. I’m pretty excited about it,” Harvick said. “This whole Chase thing, there is a lot of strategy to get in to it. The best strategy is to go out and win races.” 2-9 (Domes, Oyer); Knappa 4-26 (Takalo, A.Miller, Weirup, Hendrickson). Free throws: WM 9-13; Knappa 0-0. Fouls: W. Mennonite 6, Knappa 12.
