And on the defensive side, Pendleton has seen its points against average fall from 56 points per game to a tick over 52 points. Tedder said that its a credit to the team working hard on ¿[LQJWKRVHHDUO\VHDVRQLVVXHV “We’ve pretty much shored up our big issues from the beginning of the year, and QRZLW¶VMXVWDERXW¿QHWXQLQJWKHOLWWOHWKLQJV from here on out,” he said. Pendleton put pressure on Hood River (2-14, 1-3) early in the game with the help of some full-court press defense and some solid shooting, as the Bucks hit six of their ¿UVWHLJKWVKRWVRIWKHJDPHDQGIRUFHGIRXU turnovers to take a 14-2 lead with only three minutes expired in the game. The Buckaroos continued that pressure throughout the remainder of the quarter and ran to a 24-6 lead. Pendleton forced a total of 10 Hood River turnovers in the quarter and ¿QLVKHG VKRRWLQJ IURP WKH ÀRRU DQG 4-8 from 3-point range — two each from Caden Smith and Daniel Adams. The second quarter was much of the same for Pendleton, as the Buckaroos really FDXJKW¿UHIURPSRLQWUDQJHKLWWLQJLQ the quarter as Smith, Adams, Jack Peterson and Wyatt Morris all took turns drilling shots from deep to give the Bucks a 27-point quarter and boost them to a 51-21 halftime lead. Pendleton shot 18-28 (64 percent) from WKH ÀRRU LQ WKDW ¿UVW KDOI ZKLOH WKH 'DOOHV shot just 8-25 (32 percent) and were 0-6 from 3-point range. The only issues for Pendleton throughout the half was a little bit of over-aggresiveness on the defensive end as Pendleton netted 11 WHDP IRXOV LQ WKH ¿UVW KDOI ZKLFK LQFOXGHG key contributors Kai Quinn and James Bradt both picking up foul No. 3 by the four minute mark of the second quarter. Staff photo by Kathy Aney James Bradt (22), of Pendleton, shoots as Hood River’s Tyrone Stintzi (25) scrambles for position Friday at War- berg Court. “It’s going to happen and we just have to adapt to whatever’s going on,” Tedder said. “We played a lot more man-to-man tonight to really work on it ... but the guys are just going to have to adapt to the way things are called moving forward.” The second half was more-or-less an intense practice for Pendleton, as the Buckaroos continued to run its offense and defensive sets with relative ease against the Valley, the Helix Grizzlies turned the ball over 30 times on their way to a tough loss on the road to Powder Valley. “Can’t win when you turn the ball over like that,” said Helix coach Kirk Flerchinger. To make matters worse for the Grizzlies, 22 of Powder Valley’s 47 total points came off of those 30 turnovers. With the loss, Helix (14-6, 7-2 OOL) falls into third place in the Old Oregon League behind Nixyaawii at 8-1 and Powder Valley at 8-2.

Adams and Smith combined to make nine of Pendleton’s 14 made 3-pointers as they continue to be a potent 1-2 scoring threat as the season wears on. “Those two are doing a nice job,” Tedder said. “Caden’s kind of leading the way and when things are good for him early but then get tougher, it opens things up for other guys like Daniel (Adams) and James (Bradt). It’s fun to watch them do their thing and lead us.” With the win and a loss by Hermiston to The Dalles, the Buckaroos hold a two game lead over the Riverhawks in the CRC. Tedder said that even with the cushion, there’s still plenty of concern amongst the coaches about keeping the teams’ focus to only the next game and not already looking ahead to the postseason. “It’s the concern every day and every practice,” he said. “I talk about it every day and it’s not only on the coaches, but more so on the seniors because its their last ride and any let-ups are really going to hurt us.” ——— Continued from 1B HRV (2-14, 1-3) 6 15 20 13 — 54 PHS (11-6, 4-0) 24 27 24 21 — 96 HOOD RIVER — T.

Partially because it worked itself into foul WURXEOH ZLWK VL[ ¿UVWTXDUWHU IRXOV VHQGLQJ Hermiston to the free throw line eight times that period. Hermiston also changed its defense in the second quarter, switching to a full-court man-to-man defense in an attempt to throw off the Riverhawks’ offense. It worked. “We like to switch up our defense once they adjust,” Juul said. As the Riverhawks’ offense began to stall, the Bulldogs’ offense took off. They never VKRWZRUVHWKDQSHUFHQWIURPWKHÀRRUDVD team in any quarter, and shot a near-unbeliev- able 80 percent (8-10) in the third quarter that saw Hermiston’s lead go from 12 at the break to 23 after three quarters. With outside shots not falling — Herm- iston shot just 5-14 from deep — it was Juul who dominated stretches. With Edmiston and Ramirez getting penetration off the bounce, it forced the Riverhawk defense to collapse upon them, leaving Juul open at the block. One time, the ball reversed to Edmiston in the corner, and two Riverhawk defenders moved to close out on the shooter, leaving Juul, again, wide open on the block. “Those are team points, for sure,” the sophomore said. “The dump pass was open so we used it.” Hermiston continues its Columbia River Conference schedule Tuesday with a 7 p.m. date at Hood River Valley. ——— T-D (10-8, 2-2) 17 7 12 13 — 49 HHS (16-3, 4-0) 17 19 23 20 — 79 THE DALLES — I.
