IN BRIEF
Oregon State
lacks offense,
Stanford rolls
Associated Press
CORVALLIS — Once Stan-
ford got its defense going, the
offense followed.
Michael Humphrey had 21
points and Marcus Allen added
12 to lead Stanford to a 62-46 vic-
tory Thursday night over Oregon
State, keeping the Beavers winless
in Pac-12 conference play.
The Cardinal (11-8, 3-4) over-
came a slow start for their third
straight win after a pair of victo-
ries at home last week against the
league’s Washington schools.
Stephen Thompson Jr. led the
Beavers (4-15, 0-6) with 15 points.
Oregon State, which trailed by as
many as 17 points late after jump-
ing out to an early nine-point lead,
has lost six straight games.
“Our guys really showed a lot
of focus and came out and got after
it. Then unfortunately what’s hap-
pened a bunch this year is we got off
page, got off the page offensively in
the first half and couldn’t score for a
while because we went away from
what was working,” Oregon State
coach Wayne Tinkle said.
The Beavers have struggled
without top scorer Tres Tinkle,
who was averaging 20.2 points
a game before he broke his right
wrist Tinkle has missed 13 games.

Oregon Ducks forward Dillon Brooks (24), collides in the first half against California in an NCAA college basketball game Thursday
in Eugene. Brooks later left the game with an injury on a different play.
Oregon loses Brooks in win

UP NEXT: DUCKS
• Stanford Cardinal (11-8)
at No. 11 Oregon Ducks (17-2)
• Saturday, 3 p.m. TV: PAC12
UGENE — Losing its best player to
injury left No. 11 Oregon more som-
ber than celebratory after it rewrote
some school history with its 15th consecutive
victory.
“It takes a little wind out of your sails,”
coach Dana Altman said of the Ducks’ reac-
tion when Dillon Brooks didn’t join them for
the second half.
Jordan Bell scored a career-high 26 points,
Casey Benson had 15 on five 3-pointers and
Oregon rolled to an 86-63 victory over Cali-
fornia on Thursday night.
The Ducks (17-2, 6-0 Pac-12) hadn’t won
15 straight games in 104 years, but they lost
their preseason All-America to a lower leg
injury late in the first half.
Brooks, who had offseason surgery on
his left foot, limped off the court as Oregon
was building a 44-30 halftime lead. Oregon
officials tweeted that Brooks had injured his
lower left leg after he did not appear with his
teammates for the second half.
“He’ll be evaluated the next couple of days
and we’ll see where we’re at,” said Altman,
who spoke with Brooks but wouldn’t confirm
if he had re-injured his left foot.
In his absence, Bell took up the scoring
slack by shooting 11 of 12 from the field to go
with six rebounds and four blocked shots. He
was 7 of 7 in the second half and 4 of 5 at the
free throw line for 18 points.
“That’s just a great line,” Altman said, look-
ing at the stat sheet. “A few more rebounds
and that would have been a spectacular line.”
Bell’s only miss was a desperation
3-pointer early in the game to avoid a shot-
clock violation.
Jabari Bird had 21 points to lead the
Golden Bears (13-6, 4-3), who had won three
straight and eight of their last 10 meetings
with the Ducks.
Seaside scorches Scappoose
The Daily Astorian
SCAPPOOSE — Seaside opened
defense of its Cowapa League boys
basketball title with a decisive
road win Thursday night, 89-52 at
Scappoose.
Attikin Babb scored 26 points for
the Gulls, who cruised to their 11th
win of the season (without a loss)
against the Indians, last year’s fifth-
place team in the state tournament.
Seaside’s league opener looked
much like the Gulls’ first 10 games,
as Seaside topped the 80-point mark
for the seventh time this season.
The first quarter alone had six ties
and four lead changes — and ended
with a 21-18 Scappoose lead — but it
didn’t take long for the Gulls to take
control in the second quarter.
A short jumper and a free throw
by Babb gave the Gulls a 23-21 lead
early in the second, and a 7-0 Seaside
run had the Gulls in front to stay.
Three-point shots by Chase Januik
and Babb in the third period led to an
eventual 66-45 lead at the end of the
three.Hunter Thompson and Babb
combined for five 3-pointers in the
final quarter.
Babb led four players in double
figures with 26, followed by Chase
Januik with 19, Jackson Januik with
18, and 15 points from Thompson.
Seaside hosts Astoria Saturday.
Lady Gulls back in action with win
The Daily Astorian
SCAPPOOSE — A 13-day lay-
off had very little effect on the Sea-
side girls basketball team Thursday
against a struggling Scappoose squad.
The No. 10-ranked Lady Gulls
jumped out to an 8-0 lead and cruised
to a 59-40 victory over the Indians,
who drop to 1-10 overall.
Scappoose was within 18-15 mid-
way through the second quarter,
but Maddi Utti scored four straight
points, added a 3-pointer later in the
Lady Warriors fall
The Daily Astorian
period, and Bryre Babbitt’s jump shot
near the end of the first half gave the
Gulls a 31-20 lead at the break.
Utti was scoring at will in the first
half, where she had 21 of her game-
high 24 points, to go with nine steals,
eight rebounds and seven assists.
Annaka Garhofer had a pair of
3-pointers in the second half, as the
Seaside lead reached 59-32 in the
fourth quarter.
The Gulls are 8-2 overall, and host
Astoria Saturday.
“Definitely a bit of rust, but we
Warriors hold off Tigers

CLATSKANIE — Clatskanie
evened its league record at 4-4 Thurs-
day night with a 53-36 win over War-
renton in a Lewis & Clark League
boys basketball game on the Tigers’
home floor. Warrenton, which drops
to 4-11 overall, travels to Portland
Adventist Tuesday.
Ilwaco scores win
The Daily Astorian
MENLO, Wash. — The Ilwaco
boys maintained their second-place
hold in the Pacific 2B League, with a
68-33 win at Willapa Valley Thursday.
Ranked eighth in the Washington 2B
RPI rankings, the Fishermen improved
to 10-2 in league, 13-3 overall.
ran the court some and hopefully
started working our way back into
game shape, and toward getting some
rhythm,” said Seaside coach Mike
Hawes. “Maddi filled the stat sheet
again, but we really had some contri-
butions from everyone.
“Annaka Garhofer gave us some
good minutes, as did Emy Kiser,” he
said. “Our guards, Bryre, Jetta (Ideue)
and Syd (Villegas) all did some nice
work man-to-man. Hopefully we kept
the ship righted and we’ll be ready to
go Saturday.”
CLATSKANIE — Landree
Miethe hit a late 3-pointer, and the
Warrenton Lady Warriors scored
their biggest win of the season
in Lewis & Clark League action
Thursday night at Clatskanie with a
49-43 victory over the Tigers.
Warrenton improves to 4-4 in
league play, just one game behind
third-place Portland Christian (5-3),
while Clatskanie falls to 2-6.
Still, the outmatched Tigers kept
the game close through three quar-
ters, trailing 29-24 as the teams
headed into the final quarter.
A score by Clatskanie’s Sage
Miller gave the Tigers a brief 41-40
lead with one minute remaining,
but Warrenton answered with a
3-pointer by Miethe with 45 sec-
onds left, and the Warriors were able
to hold off Clatskanie from there.
Warrenton free throws helped
clinch the win, as the Warriors fin-
ished 13-of-29.
Tyla Little led three players in
double figures with 13, followed
by Miethe with 12 and Katelynn
Blodgett with 11.
“It was a back and forth game,”
said Warrenton coach Robert
Hoepfl. “Rachel Dyer hit a big three
to end the first half (for a 20-18
lead), and we played some incredi-
ble defense in the second half.”
Claire Bussert finished with five
blocks and four steals to pace the
Warrior defense, with additional
help from Blodgett.
Warrenton returns to league play
with a big showdown Tuesday at
Portland Adventist.
Bigger Valiants
defeat Astoria
The Daily Astorian
BEAVERTON — A “long,
big and physical” Valley Catho-
lic team had Astoria scrambling
for open shots Thursday night in
a Cowapa League boys basketball
opener.
And the Fishermen struggled
against the taller Valiants, who
posted a 56-30 win over Astoria.
Valley Catholic “goes 6-4, 6-3,
6-3, 6-8, 6-5, 6-5, 6-6 … even
their backup guards are 6-3,” said
Astoria coach Kevin Goin. “We
just couldn’t score in the first
quarter, and in the second quarter
(the Valiants) went to a half-court
trap, which we struggled with. We
got hammered on the boards and
we had a tough time getting open
looks.”
Valley Catholic junior Andrew
Plambeck led all scorers with 14
points, and teammate Colin Hag-
gerty added eight.
Ole Englund scored all nine of
his points in the second quarter
for the Fishermen, who return to
action Saturday at Seaside.
Astoria is still without Fridt-
jof Fremstad and Kyle Strange,
while Jackson Arnsdorf was in the
hospital earlier in the week with a
bacterial infection, Goin said.
Valiants defeat
Lady Fishermen
The Daily Astorian
BEAVERTON — Valley Cath-
olic junior Noelle Mannen scored
16 points, and the Valiants jumped
out to an early lead and held on for
a 51-30 win over Astoria Thurs-
day in a Cowapa League girls bas-
ketball opener.
Callie Kawaguchi added
10 points for the Valiants, who
led 17-5 after one quarter, and
increased their lead to 39-16 by
halftime.
Sam Hemsley and Alexis Wal-
lace scored seven points apiece
for the Lady Fishermen, who visit
Seaside Saturday.
