Lillard scores 35 to lead Blazers to win over Jazz
By KAREEM COPELAND
AP Sports Writer
SALT LAKE CITY — Damian
Lillard knew he would need to
carry more of the offense after an
offseason of drastic changes for
the Portland Trail Blazers, who lost
four starters. The fourth-year guard
hasn’t disappointed.
Lillard had 35 points and C.J.
McCollum added 27 as the Portland
Trail Blazers defeated the Utah Jazz
108-92 on Wednesday night.
“It is a responsibility, when
things aren’t going well, when
things are going well, I just have to
be able to manage that and keep the
team calm,” Lillard said. “When it
is time to make something happen
I got to be willing to accept that
challenge. So far I’ve been able to
do that.”
Lillard shot 14 for 27 for his
second consecutive 30-plus-point

with 13 points and Mason Plumlee
added 12 and 16 rebounds for Port-
land.
The Jazz sent a multitude of
defensive looks at Lillard and
McCollum — unsuccessfully.
“We let some guys get what they
wanted and we got hurt for it,” Jazz
coach Quin Snyder said. “We’ll

like this. I don’t want to over-dra-

“For me to go in and throw stuff
and scream and yell, that might have
a little bit of an impact, but over the
course of a season that’s not going
to get us where we need to go. Our
guys need to take ownership and

eliminated
East Oregonian
MEDFORD — The No. 5 St. Mary’s Crusaders
advanced to the second round of the OSAA
3A/2A/1A girls soccer playoffs with a 5-0 win over
Riverside on Wednesday.
No. 12 Riverside trailed 3-0 at halftime, no other
details were reported.
The Pirates were the last remaining girls soccer
team from the region in postseason play.
BOYS SOCCER
ST. MARY’S 5, UMATILLA 0 — At Medford,
the No. 14 Umatilla boys soccer team had its season
ended Tuesday after a 5-0 defeat to St. Mary’s.
Despite the early exit, coach Carlos Ortiz was
happy with the season.
“I’m still happy that we reached our goal — to
make a state game — after all the odds were against
us,” he said.
I’m right there with them.”
Gordon Hayward scored a
season-high 19 for the Jazz while
Trey Burke chipped in 17 off the

eight points, nine rebounds and four
blocks.
EXPANDING ROLE: With the
offseason departure of four starters,
including LaMarcus Aldridge,
Lillard has seen his role expand this
season. The standout at Weber State
in Ogden, Utah, entered the night
averaging 25.5 points (No. 5 in the
NBA) and 8.0 assists (No. 3). “He’s
our best player and he’s taken the
leadership role,” Stotts said. “That’s
... something he’s been prepared
for and he’s ready for it after three
years. He’s been kind of groomed.

As it turned out, it was freshmen

“Miah has been doing awesome

with seven assists, one of three setters
used in the match. Sophomore Kylie
Collins added 13 assists and freshman
Kylee Chavez had 14.
“I love hitting off all three of them,”
said Perez.
Both Williams and Perez were also
key to completing BMCC’s comeback
in the third set, but it wasn’t until
sophomore like Hobart, Keri Schwarz
and Hannah Bailey were back on the
court that the T-Wolves were able to

The set went to 22-22 on a Perez
kill, and Schwarz added a block and a
kill as the teams traded points to 25-25.
Then Hobart hit her seventh kill of the
match to make it 26-25, and Williams
ricocheted a shot off the CBC block
for the deciding point.

Bend before heading to the NWAC
Championships in Tacoma, Wash-
ington. Their nine losses are the second
most in a season since Baty took over
in 2009, and he said the team will need
to be much more consistent to succeed
there than it was against CBC.
“We’ve got to play on the upper
half of our ability and we’ve got to
stay there,” he said. “We can’t have
these ups and down like we showed
here.”

Football player dies after collapsing in game
Associated Press
SHARON SPRINGS, Kan. — A
Kansas high school football player who
collapsed on the sideline during a game
died Wednesday after being taken off of
life support, a hospital spokeswoman said.
Luke Schemm had just scored the
extra point after a touchdown when
the 17-year-old ran to the sidelines and
collapsed, his father, David Schemm, said
at a news conference earlier Wednesday
at Swedish Medical Center in the Denver
suburb of Englewood, where the teen had
been declared brain-dead.
“Luke, our beautiful gift from God, is
no longer with us,” Schemm said.
Hospital
spokeswoman
Nicole
Williams told The Associated Press that
Luke Schemm was “kept on life support so
family and friends can pay their respects.”

withdrawn Wednesday afternoon and the
teen was declared dead.
Brian McVay, superintendent and
principal of Wallace County schools, said
he didn’t know why Schemm collapsed
during the Eight-Man Division II game at
Wallace County High in Sharon Springs,
Kansas.
“The team was gathered on the sidelines
getting ready to go for the kick. Before they
even left the sideline, he just collapsed,”
McVay said. “But as far as why, I haven’t
had time to track that down.”
He said Schemm was taken by ambu-

hospital in Colorado, about 220 miles west
of Sharon Springs.

during the game.
Asked by a reporter whether he
thought Schemm’s team should still play

against Ingalls, Schemm indicated that the
players should push through their grief and
compete.

what we want them to do.”

Schemm sustain any head or neck contact
during the game.
He said if Schemm’s death is determined
to be football-related, it would be the third
in Kansas in 17 years.
“Any death is one too many,”
Musselman said. “We just are heartsick
any time a youngster prematurely passes
because of whatever reason.”
