Newspaper Page TextSPORTS Saturday, February 20, 2016 East Oregonian BUCKAROOS: Smith adds 23 points for PHS Continued from 1B deserves everything he has gotten.” Bradt attacked the basket at will on offense, dicing his way through the Riverhawks (5-17, 2-6) defense to the tune of nine Pade ¿eld goals and numerous trips to the free throw line. His effort on the boards on Friday was stellar as well, grabbing several offensive rebounds and tips to give his team more opportunities. He scored three baskets early in the ¿rst Tuarter to help boost the Bucks to an early 18-0 lead with less than two minutes to play in the Tuarter. 7he 'alles did not break onto the scoreboard until the 1:35 mark of the Tuarter, when 'akota 0urr nailed a close jumper to cut the lead to 20-2. 7he Riverhawks ¿nally found some rhythm in the second Tuarter, nailing 6 of 8 from behind the 3-point line and eventually got the de¿cit down to 13 points at 33-20. However, Pendleton made a run at the end to fend off the comeback and head into the locker room with a 48-29 lead. Pendleton shot 55 percent (17-31) from the Àoor in the ¿rst half, and kept that hot touch going throughout the second half as well, shooting 51 percent (16-31) to run away with the win. Smith was the second-leading scorer for the Bucks with 23 points, while $dams ¿nished with 15 points on ¿ve made 3-pointers. 7he 'alles relied heavily on the 3-point line in the game with 36 of the total 43 points coming off of 12 made triples, while the team shot just 2 of 17 inside the 3-point line. 7he Riverhawks also fed Pendleton’s offense with 22 turnovers. As the game was winding down with just more than two minutes remaining, the Pendleton student section burst into a loud cheer when Buckaroos senior student manager Roman 0artine] Caden Smith (23), of Pendle- ton, is fouled by The Dalles’ Jacob Wet- more during Friday’s Colum- bia River Confer- ence game at Warberg Court.

Chance Flores led all scorers with 21 points, 'ayshawn 1eal added 25, and 7re 1eal had “a basket full of rebounds,” according to head coach 'ave Ego in his return from a broken ¿nger. “It was nice to have 7re back,” Ego said. “He gave us a presence inside.” 1eal also shot 6-9 from the free throw line. Boys Hoops Hermiston Hood River 69 46 Hermiston didn’t play well defensively in the ¿rst half and a game Ego called “a mirror” of their last outing against 7he 'alles earlier this week. But they turned up the defense in the second half and outscored the Eagles by 19 points.

He puts in just as many hours and he deserved it. I hope it’s something he remembers for a long, long time.” Amidst all the joy and fanfare surrounding the game, the Buckaroos did take a big hit for the remainder of the season. Junior forward Johnny Stuvland suffered a knee injury and will be out the rest of the way. Pendleton will now focus on its last conference game of the season when they travel to Hermiston on 7uesday night for a 7 p.m. tip-off. ——— TDHS (5-17, 2-6) 8 21 11 3 — 43 PHS (14-7, 7-1) 28 20 22 18 — 88 THE DALLES — D.

First-year head coach Kyle Larson says it’s certainly feasible that Herm- iston gets all 22 guys into the state tournament, but it’s a bit of a longshot. “We would have to wrestle really well and have everything go right for us,” he said. 0eanwhile, Pendleton has just two guys in the semi¿nals. Scott Chambers is there at 138 pounds after a forfeit win and a 6-4 decision over Hood River’s 'ylan Peterson. 0organ Holcomb is in the last four at 145 pounds after a bye and pin of Hermiston’s Oscar Lope]. Senior 182-pounder Gabe Goad surprised head coach Fred Phillips with a 38-second pin of Summit’s 'ustin Follett in the ¿rst round and a 1:32 pin of Redmond’s Ryan Fiocci in the consolation Tuarters. Bevan beat Goad by fall in the Tuarters. Pendleton has 14 guys left in the tournament, and has a good chance to places a good portion of them. Phillips said some guys surprised positively and negatively, which is “par for the course at these tourna- ments. “We had some ups, had some downs,” he said. “(Saturday)’s the day that really matters. We gave us 14 kids who could be placers and some could theoretically Tualify for state. “We had some young kids do some really good things and had some surprises. W had a good day, not a great day, but a good day.” Wrestling continues today at 0ountain 9iew High School in Bend. ——— Team Scores: 1. Hermiston 2. Redmond 3. Bend 4. Hood River Valley 5.

PETERSON Associated Press HO8S7O1 — After scoring three goals against 7rinidad and 7obago, Ale[ 0organ was relieved that the United States was assured a spot this summer in the Rio Olympics. “We ¿nally Tuali¿ed,” 0organ said. “We don’t have to talk about Tuali- fying anymore.” 0organ’s hat trick, the third of her career, high- lighted the United States’ 5-0 victory over 7rinidad and 7obago on Friday night in the semi¿nals of the CO1CACAF Olympic Tualifying tournament. 7he World Cup cham- pions, ranked 1o. 1 world, will seek their fourth straight Olympic gold medal and ¿fth overall. 7here were two Olympic berths up for grabs in the 1orth and Central America and Caribbean region. Canada secured the other spot in Bra]il with a 3-1 semi¿nal victory over Costa Rica earlier Friday at BB9A Compass Stadium. It is the third straight trip to the Olympics for the 11th-ranked Canadians, who will face the United States on Sunday in the tournament’s ¿nal match. 7he Americans went 3-0 with a 16-0 goal difference in the group stage of the eight-team Tuali¿cation tournament. 7hey capped the ¿rst round with a 10-0 rout of Puerto Rico led by a team record-tying ¿ve goals from Crystal 'unn, the last player cut from the roster that won the World Cup last summer in Canada. Women’s Soccer Trinidad USA 0 5 7he Americans have never lost a CO1CACAF Olympic Tuali¿er, going 17-0-1, and they’ve outscored opponents 96-4. It is the ¿rst time 7rin- idad and 7obago has made the semi¿nals in Tualifying. “I think we took it to 7rinidad and 7obago,” 0organ said. “7hey’re a really good ¿rst-half team but I think as the game wears on they get a little more unorgani]ed. But I think we wreaked some havoc for them in the ¿rst half.” Coach Jill Ellis tinkered with the lineup a bit for the match, sitting 'unn and Ali Krieger, who had both logged a lot of minutes in the tournament. Overall, Ellis is working with a younger roster than the one that won the World Cup last summer in Canada. Several players, including Abby Wambach and Lauren Holiday, have retired. Amy Rodrigue] and Sydney Lerou[ are e[pecting and won’t be available for the Olympics. 0egan Rapinoe is recov- ering from knee surgery. 7he youngest on the team is 17-year-old 0allory Pugh, headed to UCLA ne[t season. Pugh started and made an impact early with an assist on 7obin Heath’s opening goal of the match in the 12th minute.
