SPORTS Friday, January 23, 2015 East Oregonian CRC Basketball League strong beneath Bulldog shadow Buckaroos, Eagles also among state’s Top 10 teams Only The Dalles have downed Hermiston in four seasons of Colum- bia River Conference action. That triumph came by way of a 49-38 Riverhawk victory in the 2013 CRC opener. Since then the Bulldogs have rattled off 17 consecutive league come by margins of 10 points or less. While the Bulldogs (12-3) have el- evated their game this season — lead- ing to Class 5A’s top ranking — the re- mainder of the league appears to have followed suit. Entering tonight’s slate of league openers, northeastern Oregon’s pre- mier basketball league lays claim to three of the state’s top nine OSAA Class 5A girls basketball teams. The seventh-ranked Buckaroos (10- 5) matched Hermiston point-for-point in 15 non-league games, equaling the Bulldogs 52.3 point per game average. The scoring output has each school fourth in state in scoring. Unlike the Bulldogs, whose offense is highly concentrated between guards Jansen Edmiston and Sara Ramirez, Pendleton is a points by committee operation. Five different players have led the team in scoring in games this year and no player averages more than 6-foot-2 center Kristin Williams’ 10.2 points per game. Marlene Bodmer is with 10.1, and four other players aver- age more than four points per contest. The main distinguishing factor be- tween Hermiston and Pendleton has Pendleton allows an average of six points more per game — the worst number in the league. They’ve been blitzed for 52 points or more in each of Senior point guard Darian Lind- say has reassummed her role as the league’s top distributor and also its biggest pest. Lindsay averages 3.9 as- sists per game, but her 3.9 steals are just as integral to the Buckaroos suc- cess.

Three days following the loss, the Dawgs skirted that emotion, defeating OSAA Class 5A top-ranked La Salle Prep 61-57 in over- time. The win might’ve cemented that the Bulldogs won’t taste defeat again this regular season. Now the state’s top dog themselves, the Bulldogs enters Columbia River Conference play tonight at home against The Dalles. Since the league’s forma- tion in 2010, the conference has belonged to Hermiston. They’ve pieced together three perfect seasons in four tries and have won 41 of 42 games against conference foes. There’s no question where the target lies in the CRC, Hoffert said, it’s squarely on Hermiston’s back. Add in the state’s top-billing, and the rivalries become even more conten- tious. “There probably is more fuel for (opponents) be- cause we are No. 1 (in state) and they’re tired of losing. ‘Now they’re No. 1 and we hate them even more’,” Hoffert said. Ramirez doesn’t believe that is a bad thing. “I mean we’re proud, but we shouldn’t feel any pressure,” she said of the No. 1 ranking. - kens back to the Sunnyside loss, Hoffert said. During a timeout after they’d squan- dered their lead, he saw something uncharacteristic. “I was pulling girls into the huddle Tuesday night,” he said. “I’ve never had to do that, where you have a couple of girls walking around not listening and you have to pull them in. That wasn’t the case on Fri- day (versus La Salle Prep). “There was a lot of Pendleton $109,500 CONVENIENT LO- CATION.

It probably made a huge difference in the outcome, just because you could tell they felt like they were supported by each other if something wasn’t going well.” Things didn’t go well. Behind late game hero- ics by La Salle Prep’s Tori Goodman, the Falcons forced overtime. Instead of faltering against an unbeat- en for the second time in the week, the Bulldogs buckled down and made key stops to earn the marquee victory. The support web is nec- essary, Hoffert said, espe- cially since the quad lacks an individual, vocal lead- ership. “We know how to get on each other so we don’t get mad,” Edmiston said. “We’re really supportive of each other and we know when we do things bad, so we don’t have to gripe at each other.” That leadership mostly manifests itself on the court. Hoffert sees Ramirez’ hus- tle and grinding style as the central cog. Edmiston and fellow starters Kynzee Pa- dilla, Abi Drotzmann and Maddy Juul feed off her energy. “It’s kind of follow by example,” Hoffert said. “The contagiousness is be- cause of the way you play. Girls get excited and work hard and then all of a sud- den they make a great play and now they’re cheering.” If they follow their lead- er’s words, little doubt is left on what the Bulldogs expect to accomplish in CRC play. “I just want to beat these teams by a lot,” Ramirez said. Hermiston hosts the Riv- erhawks at 7 p.m. tonight. ——— Contact Erik Skopil at eskopil@eastoregonian. com or (541) 966-0839. Follow him on Twitter @ Erik_Skopil.
