Four players scored in double figures for the Warriors, led by Tyla Little with 18. Rachel Dyer hit four 3-pointers on her way to 16 points, Landree Miethe scored 14 and Fernanda Alvarez added 11 for Warren- ton, which tied the school record for the fifth-most points in a sin- gle game (83 vs. Oregon Episco- pal in 2010). The Warriors also limited an opponent to just six points for the first time (on record) since a 28-6 win over Westport in 1926- 27, when the Warrenton girls were coached by “Mrs. Lee.” Warrenton’s record for most points in a game is still 92, vs. Catlin Gabel in 2002. Waldport has now lost 63 games in a row, going back to the 2013-14 season. Boomers edge Loggers, 47-44 KNAPPA — The Knappa Lady Loggers committed 41 turn- overs and trailed by 14 points in the fourth quarter, but a late rally brought them to within three points of Toledo, before the Boomers were able to close out a 47-44 win over Knappa. Toledo’s Raeann Hogle scored 19 points in the first round game of the Loggers’ Tip-Off Classic. Kaitlyn Landwehr and Devin Vandergriff scored 12 points apiece and also had five steals each for the Loggers, while Paris Vanderburg had seven rebounds.

Jewell is the only 3-0 team at the Class 1A level, and the Jays have two more home games this week as they begin Casco League play.

Balanced Blazers beat Bulls 112-110 for 3rd straight win By JAY COHEN AP Sports Writer CHICAGO — Damian Lillard and the Portland Trail Blazers learned from last month’s blowout loss to Chicago. They turned that knowledge into their own road win Monday night. Lillard had 30 points and seven assists, CJ McCollum scored 24 and the Trail Blazers beat the Bulls 112- 110 for their third consecutive victory. Portland had won five of six before Chicago visited the Moda Center on Nov. 15 and rolled to a 113-88 win. That loss started the Blazers on a bit of a slide, but they are rounding into form again. “I think the game in Portland helped us prepare for what kind of game it was going to be,” Lillard said. “We saw how physical they were. They compete on both ends of the floor. ... We just came in with the right mindset, knowing what to expect.” Allen Crabbe added 17 points for Portland, which opened a five-game trip with its fourth win in five games. Maurice Harkless had 11 and Evan Turner finished with 10, providing a nice boost in the fourth quarter. “I’m really pleased the way we responded after the way they beat us the first time,” Trail Blazers coach Terry Stotts said. Dwyane Wade scored 34 points for the Bulls, and Jimmy Butler fin- ished with 26 points, seven rebounds and five assists. Robin Lopez had seven points and a season-high 14 rebounds. Chicago played without point guard Rajon Rondo, suspended one game for conduct detrimental to the team. There was no public indica- tion from the Bulls on what triggered Rondo’s suspension. He is expected to return Tuesday night in Detroit. “He’s obviously very important TILLAMOOK — Teams from District 1/4A officially opened the 2016-17 swim season Saturday, in the annual Tillamook Invitational.

The Seaside girls had four sec- ond-place event finishes, with two from sophomore Kendy Lin. Lin swam the 100-yard freestyle in 1 minute, 1.11 seconds to place behind Tillamook’s Kara Putman; Guillen scores 17 in win SCOREBOARD JEWELL — The Jewell girls opened the weekend with an easy 40-7 win over St. Stephens Acad- emy Friday night, the first of four straight home games for the Lady Jays.

He’s important for what we do, but that’s not the reason we lost the game.” Portland trailed 93-92 before Ed Davis converted a driving layup with 8:19 left, sparking an 11-0 run for the Trail Blazers.
