In front o f a crowd o f 3,769
The Pilots (2-2) won in a squeakier
74-71 and posted their first win
against Oregon State (1-2) since
1985.
The Pilots rallied from 12
points in the first half and held to
gether in an emotionally intense
game to come up with the big win.
“1 don’t know if there was a
tremendous amount at stake,” Port
land coach Rob Chavez said. “ Its
just the in-state rivalry and the situ
ation o f the game for us and our
program.
Our Kids showed a lot o f heart.
We were down and then welcomed
back to get in a situation where we
could win in the second half.”
Portland made 12 o f 19 free
throw attempts, more importantly
they made free throws when they
needed them.
Another decisive factor was the
play off the bench, only two Pilots
did not score and all but one of eleven
players who suited up contributed
men’s
minutes to the win.
Early on in the game it looked as
though Oregon State was going to
dominate the game. They had a 12
point lead three times in the first half.
The last time with 5:56 left in the first
half with the score 37-25. Then with
the score 40-30 the Pilots made their
move to slowly get back in the game,
with a little help from the Beavers
who missed 5 o f 6 free throws that
allowed The Pilot to get with in 43-
37 at the half.
From there on it was a dog fight
with numerous lead changes. With
11:30 left in the game SharifM ctover
hit a three point shot to give Portland
its first lead since the opening min
utes o f the game.
O.S.U. went back in front with a
9-3 run capped by M ustapha H o ff s
free throw. H off scored 26 team high
po in ts for the B eaver and was
uncontainable for the Pilots through
out the night.
The Beavers last lead o f the
game was with 7:26 left on a H off
shot from in close. UP forward
Canaan Chatman tied it with a free
throw then Lemont Daniels scored
from the inside with 6:45 left to
give the Pilots the lead.
O.S.U. tied it four more times
but were unable to surmount to the
lead.
However neither did Portland
get out o f danger. With the score
72-71 and seven seconds left fresh
man point guard Dionn Holt made
two free throws for the final m ar
gin, and Kasey Flicker had just 28
seconds earlier made 2 o f 4 free
throws he shot and made for the
night to bring the game to 72-70.
The B eavers had one last
chance but Brent Barry desperation
20 foot 3 point shot went awry.
C oach Jim A nderson said.
They played a very nice and played
hard.
They pretty much ran us out o f
our offense and forced us to go one
on-one. And that was the difference
in the game.
JEFFERSON HIGH GIRLS BEAT TIGARD
by
D anny B ell
The Democrats survived a late
game barrage with the aid of se
nior Erika Mashia and junior for
ward who poured 13 pointseach to
beat the visiting non-league Tigard
44-41 in last Friday’s game.
T igard th reaten ed to upend
Jefferson when they made 10 o f 13
free throws in the fourth quarter.
Rallying to erase a six point defic it to
bring them within a point with two
minutes remaining making the score
42-41 on a lay-up by junior Angela
Hovies.
The Tigers called a time-out and
were, assessed with a two shot tech
nical for callinga time-out when they
had none remaining.
Mashia who also contributing
six assists to her team ’s effort made
the two free throws. After making the
two crucial points the Dem o’s were
able to run the clock out.
“ We made some clutch shots at
the end o f the game and thats a good
sign” Jefferson’s coach Milt Adams
said “And anytime you can beat a
class team like Tigard you have to be
happy.”
Senior guard M olly Haskell
pumped in 13 pointsforTigard, soph
omore forward Sharon Rissimiller
added 12 and senior Deanna Stearns-
Johnson scored 10.
Tigard had a difficult time with
Jefferson’s aggressive defense which
accounted for 26 turnovers and led to
numerous easy baskets.
On the other hand Jefferson had
trouble with the many defensive looks
Tigard threw at them and were able
to muster only 11 o f 30 shots put up
in the first half. Although they were
able to get on track in the fourth
quarter and make 6 o f 13.
Tigards fourth quarter ran into a
crucial snafu when Haskell was fouled
with 27 seconds left shooting a 3
point shot. She was only awarded a
two shot free-throw . Coach Ken
Johnson was assessed tim e-out for
arguing the call utilizing the teams
last time-out. Haskell made both free
throws, making the score 42-39 set
ting the final scenario for the game.
