She had never fully closed the door on the idea of returning to basketball, but now she knew she was ready to walk back through the gym doors. “I realized that I wanted to have a senior night and I want- ed to experience the atmosphere again,” she said. “I felt like I was ready and I was hoping that I’d be more mature this time around.” “From that point on, she’s been a completely different per- son emotionally — active, hap- py,” Hoffert said. “She wants to play college ball.” A number of colleges wouldn’t mind providing her that opportu- nity. Coaches from George Fox, Northwest Christian and Western Oregon have already expressed interest in Headings. “Now looking into it, it’s a good choice to play college ball,” she said. While it took just one swim meet to ascend from junior varsi- ty to varsity, returning to basket- ball was a completely different animal. Headings vowed not to pick up a basketball following her sophomore year for fear “of any of the bad feelings coming back.” She stayed true to that pledge until last spring. Through sum- mer training and winter workouts it was clear to Hoffert that her game was a work in progress. ³(YHQ WKURXJK WKH ¿UVW VL[ or seven games, there was not a whole lot going on,” he said. Hoffert decided to switch Staff photo by E.J.

He inserted her into the VWDUWLQJ OLQHXS IRU WKH ¿UVW WLPH She responded with team-highs in scoring in wins over Roseburg and Centennial. With Headings’ scoring sup- plementing the play of the junior guard tandem of Jansen Edmiston and Sara Ramirez, the Bulldogs have been a force in Class 5A. Winners of 10 of 11 and owners WKHFODVVL¿FDWLRQ¶VWRSELOOLQJWKH Bulldogs are legitimate state title frontrunners. The team’s ascent to contender status leaves ques- tions in both player and coach’s minds about what might have been in 2014. “She’s automatic offense, which we missed last year at times,” Hoffert said of last year’s second runner-up team. “We both say the same things, but I tell her ‘Let’s not go last year right now’. “That’s why she wants so bad- ly this year to make a difference because she knows last year it could’ve been something — a different result.” The hottest team in the state is eight wins from making that “dif- ferent result” a reality this sea- son. Doing so would be history for Hermiston, which has yet to win a girls state basketball title. “That’s in our reach,” Head- ings said. “That’s my main goal. I think that would be a really great experience — especially looking back.” Looking back, however, she’s not quite certain the year away from the court wasn’t necessary to drive her and the Bulldogs to where they are today. “I have a new mindset coming back into it. It’s like I forgot my past experiences and this is brand new,” she said. Headings and the Bulldogs look to inch closer to history to- night with the second leg of the War on 84. Tip off is set for 7 p.m. at Hermiston High School. ——— Contact Erik Skopil at eskop- il@eastoregonian.com or (541) 966-0839.

I challenge anyone else in the state to go after Vale and see what they get.” ——— UMATILLA 47, RIVERSIDE 26 RHS (9-14) 7 5 7 7 — 26 UHS (18-5) 7 13 17 10 — 47 RIVERSIDE — L. Mashos 11, K.

It’s 80 minutes of basketball — nothing more, nothing less. But as the Pac-12 season reaches WKH ¿QDO WKLUG LW¶V KDUG QRW WR ORRN ahead just a little bit at what could be in store for the No. 8 Beavers. At 11-1, Oregon State (21-2 over- all) enters this weekend the leader of the Pac-12 by a game over Arizona State (21-3, 10-2) and California (18- 5, 10-2), and two games in front of Stanford (17-7, 9-3). The Beavers will face all three of those teams over the next three week- ends, beginning with Friday’s 6 p.m. Pink Out game against No. 12 Arizona State. That means the Beavers control their own destiny in the quest for the Pac-12 title. OSU defeated Arizona State 68-57 back on Jan. 25 when both teams en- tered the game undefeated in the Pac- 12. After Friday, the Beavers host an Arizona (9-14, 2-10) team on Sunday that just upset Stanford last weekend. Then it’s a road trip to Colorado (10-13, 3-9) and Utah (7-16, 1-11) be- fore returning on to face Stanford on Feb. 26 and Cal on Feb. 28 to wrap up the regular season. “We have six more big games and I think it’s crucial that we win all of them if we want to get to where we want to be,” junior Jamie Weisner said, noting the Beavers have to take a one-game-at-a-time approach. Having the opportunity to close out the regular season, and possibly then again in the Pac-12 tournament, against some of the top teams should help the Beavers be prepared for what they hope is a high seed in the NCAA tournament and possible opportunity WRKRVWWKH¿UVWDQGVHFRQGURXQGV On Wednesday, OSU was one of 20 teams the NCAA announced as possi- ble host sites. “They’re top-caliber teams going LQWR SRVWVHDVRQ VR \HDK LW GH¿QLWHO\ prepares us,” Weisner said. “I think its huge that we get them at home, in front of our fans to give us that extra ERRVW DQG FRQ¿GHQFH LQ WKRVH WRXJK games.” Oregon St. California Arizona St. Stanford Washington UCLA USC Washington St. Oregon Colorado Arizona Utah —— Pac-12 Standings Conf Ovr Pct. 11-1 21-2 .913 11-2 19-5 .783 10-2 21-3 .875 9-3 17-7 .708 7-5 18-6 .750 6-7 10-14 .435 5-7 13-10 .565 4-8 13-10 .565 4-8 11-12 .478 3-9 10-13 .435 2-10 9-14 .391 1-11 7-16 .304 Thursday’s Games California 70, UCLA 64 Today’s Games Washington State at Colorado, 6 p.m. Washington at Utah, 6 p.m. Arizona at Oregon, 6 p.m. USC at Stanford, 6 p.m. Arizona Sate at Oregon Sate, 6 p.m. HOOPS: Bears claw out Buffs Continued from 1B game second on the team with 11.1 points per game.
