MiKyle McIntosh had 13 points and 11 rebounds and Oregon beat California, 66-53, on Thursday night, sending the Bears to their ninth straight defeat to match the sec- ond-longest losing streak in school history. Troy Brown had 16 points and Elijah Brown added 15 for the Ducks (15-7, 5-4 Pac-12), who never trailed and held a double-digit lead for much of the game. Oregon won easily despite com- mitting 17 turnovers and allow- ing California to grab 19 offensive rebounds. “We could have won by a lot more points,” McIntosh said. “You take the win, but you’ve got to learn from this.” Oregon coach Dana Altman said his team was far too sloppy, saying the Ducks should have focused on being more careful with the ball after 11 first-half turnovers. Instead, they had two more turnovers early in the second half, including an ill-advised lob from near midcourt. Travis scores 24 to lead Stanford past the Beavers By RICK EYMER Associated Press STANFORD, Calif. — Reid Travis contributed most of his offense in the first half. He did enough in the second half to keep Stanford in control. Travis scored 21 of his 24 points in the first half and grabbed six of his nine rebounds in the second, helping Stanford beat Oregon State 80-71 on Thursday night. “In the first half we were flying around, getting stops,” Travis said. “In the second half we were watching the score too much and waiting for the game to end.” Dorian Pickens, who finished the game with 999 career points, added 15 for the Cardinal (12-11, 6-4 Pac- 12), who ended a three-game losing streak. Daejon Davis added 12 points and seven assists. “This last week has been tough on us,” Pickens said. “We’re glad to get the win.” Drew Eubanks scored 19 points to lead the Beavers (11-10, 3-6 Pac-12), who lost their third straight and five of six overall. Tres Tinkle added 18 and both Stephen Thompson Jr. and Ethan Thompson scored 10. Eubanks converted a 3-point play in the final eight minutes to pull Ore- gon State within six points at 64-58 but that was as close as the Beavers got. HILLSBORO — The No. 3-ranked Knappa Loggers had another victory secured by halftime Thursday night, as they topped Faith Bible 71-27 in a Northwest League boys basketball game. Eleven players made the scor- ing column for Knappa, including sophomore Mason Westerholm, who made his varsity debut. Colton Weirup paced the Log- gers with 19 points, followed by Dale Takalo with 18 and Eli Takalo with 11. Knappa hosts Nestucca on Saturday. Falcon girls soar past Knappa HILLSBORO — Faith Bible remained unbeaten (11-0) in league play with a 65-31 win over visiting Knappa, in a Northwest League girls basketball game Thursday. Sisters Katie Fajer (23 points) and Sarah Fajer (19) combined for 42 points to lead the sixth-ranked Falcons, who held a 34-13 lead at halftime. Sophia Carlson had eight points and nine rebounds for Knappa, with teammate Paris Vanderburg adding eight points and five assists. Aiko Miller chipped in seven points and seven boards, while Vicki Ramvick had 11 rebounds. Livingstone tops Jewell boys JEWELL — A 19-6 run in the second quarter helped Livingstone Adventist build a 30-13 halftime lead Thursday, on its way to a 51-36 win at Jewell in a Casco League boys basketball game. Marshel Dryden scored 12 points and Harrison Kroschel added 11 for the Lions, while Ben Stahly had 11 points and eight rebounds for the Blue Jays. Jewell junior Jacob Lilley tossed in 10 points and snagged 10 rebounds for his first career double-double. Nathan Nelson and Ryan Kane both scored six points, with Nelson pull- ing down nine rebounds and Kane finishing with six steals and five boards. Nathan Kane — one of five Jewell players honored on Senior Night — had eight rebounds for the Jays, who play Tuesday at Crosshill Christian. Jewell girls beat Livingstone on ‘Senior Night’ JEWELL — With just two regu- lar season games remaining, the Jew- ell girls basketball team is tuning up for a possible big run in the playoffs. The Lady Jays scored a low-scor- ing win Thursday night at home, 28-20 over Livingstone Adventist. Celebrating “Senior Night” in the Jewell gymnasium, Jewell senior Emma Guillen scored 11 points to go with seven rebounds and six steals. Fellow senior Gabi Morales added five points, eight rebounds and six steals. The Lady Jays had to rally from a 10-5 halftime deficit, which they did by outscoring the Lions 23-10 over the final two quarters. Jewell improves to 9-3 in the Casco League, tied for second in the league standings with Crosshill Christian. The Jays play Tuesday at Crosshill, then finish the regular sea- son next Thursday at Willamette Val- ley Christian. — The Daily Astorian
