McCall scores 25 as Stanford stuns Oregon State
Associated Press & East
Oregonian
STANFORD,
Calif.
— Erica McCall scored
a career-high 25 points,
Brittany McPhee added 15
and No. 13 Stanford stunned
No. 7 Oregon State 76-54 on
Friday night, knocking the
Beavers out of a tie for ¿rst
place.
Karlie
Samuelson
added 13 points and had 12
rebounds for the Cardinal
(23-6, 13-4 Pac-12), who
picked up the program’s
1,000th victory with an
outstanding effort against
one of the top defensive
teams in the country.
Ruth Hamblin scored 14
points to lead the Beavers
(24-5, 15-2), who had their
school
record-matching
14-game winning streak
stopped.

Oregon State, which won
its ¿rst ever conference title
last year, had not allowed
more than 54 points in a
game during its win streak.
Stanford scored its 54th
point with 3:47 remaining in
the third quarter.
Stanford’s
offensive
output was the highest of the
season against the Beavers
and was just the second time
Oregon State gave up more
than 70 points in a game.
The Beavers were looking
for their ¿rst win at Stanford
in 29 tries. The Cardinal
effectively ended Oregon
State’s hopes after a 20-8 run
in the second quarter led to a
41-25 edge.
McCall scored 10 points
during the run, including a
pair of 3-pointers. She had
attempted one 3-pointer -- a
miss -- in her career before
unleashing a barrage against
the Beavers, making 3 of 5.
Oregon State entered the
game as the national leader
in ¿eld-goal percentage and
the Cardinal were ranked
second. Stanford shot 57.7
percent from the ¿eld after
shooting 31.8 percent in
its loss to the Beavers in
Corvallis.

CAL 65, OREGON 54
BERKELEY, Calif. (AP)
— Kristine Anigwe scored
18 points and California
built a double-digit ¿rst-
quarter lead and cruised to
a 65-54 victory over Oregon
on Friday night.
The Ducks (20-8, 9-8)
entered the game having won
nine of their last 11 games
and played without scoring
and rebounding leader
Jillian Alleyne, whose senior
season ended Tuesday with
a torn ACL. Alleyne had
never missed a game, and
had just moved into second
place in NCAA history with
92 career double-doubles.
Courtney Range had 13
points, Mikayla Cowling
12 and Asha Thomas 11
for California (13-15, 4-13
Pac-12), which snapped a
two-game skid.
Lexi Petersen led Oregon
with 20 points.
The Bears jumped out to
a 23-8 ¿rst-quarter lead, and
stretched it to 49-27 with
¿ve minutes left in the third
quarter.
Oregon used a 20-7 run
to pull to 56-47 with ¿ve
minutes left, but did not get
closer. Peterson scored seven
points and Maite Cazorla
made two 3-pointers during
the stretch.
OREGON TECH 51,
EASTERN
OREGON
43 — At Klamath Falls, the
Eastern Oregon Mountain-
eers watched its season come
to an end in disappointing
fashion on Friday night
as the Oregon Tech Owls
clawed its way back in the
fourth quarter to earn the
51-43 victory in the CCC
tournament semi¿nals.
The
Mountaineers
(21-10) led the Owls 41-33
with more than six-and-
a-half minutes left to play
when the Owls (25-7)
caught ¿re from the ¿eld and
outscored the Mountaineers
18-2 over those ¿nal six-plus
minutes to pull ahead and
grab the victory.
The only points that
Eastern Oregon scored during
that stretch came on a basket
by Madeline Laan with 21
seconds left in the game.
The Mountaineers were
led in scoring by Maloree
Moss with 11 points, while
Laan and Payton Parrish
each had eight points. Nikki
Osborne led the team with 11
rebounds.
Oregon Tech held the
Mountaineers to a season-
worst shooting performance
on Friday as well, as EOU
made just 15-64 from the
¿eld for a 23 percent success
rate. In fact, according to
EOUSports.com, the teams’
shooting percentage was the
lowest in over 13 years.

NFL
Oregon’s Addison, Marshall receive their shot Kennedy escapes
By RYAN THORBURN
The Register Guard
Bralon Addison and
Byron Marshall, two versatile
skill players who overcame
adversity at Oregon, will be
among the former Ducks
auditioning for jobs at the
NFL Scouting Combine this
weekend in Indianapolis.
After missing the 2014
season while recovering
from a torn ACL, Addison
led Oregon with 63 recep-
tions for 804 yards and 10
touchdowns last season. The
former Texas high school
quarterback star also threw a
39-yard touchdown pass, had
96 yards rushing with two
touchdowns and returned a
punt for an 81-yard touch-
down as a redshirt junior.
“I think my versatility
is something I have to my
advantage,” Addison told
reporters Thursday at Lucas
Oil Stadium. “I played a lot of
positions in college. I played
the slot, outside receiver, I
played running back, I lined
up at quarterback sometimes,
I was a return man.
“So I think my versatility
is something that will set me
apart.”

In this Nov. 27, 2016 ile photo, University of Oregon
teammates congratulate wide receiver Bralon Addi-
son (2) after his fourth quarter catch for a touchdown
against Oregon State during the 119th Civil War foot-
ball game at Autzen Stadium in Eugene. The Ducks
won the Pac-12 contest, 52-42.
Marshall was Oregon’s
leading rusher in 2013 (1,038
yards) and Marcus Mariota’s
leading receiver (1,003
yards) in 2014. He was off to
a fast start as a senior before
suffering a season-ending leg
injury in the fourth game of
the 2015 campaign against
Utah.
“I think I did enough
in college to go to the next
level,” Marshall said in
December when asked about
his decision to turn pro instead
of seeking a medical hardship
for a ¿fth year at Oregon.
“I think I’m good enough
to go play, so now it is about
getting healthy and getting
picked up.”
Entering the combine,
ESPN draft expert Mel Kiper
Jr. projects Addison as a third-
round pick and Marshall as a
¿fth- or sixth-round pick.
Addison and Marshall are
both listed as wide receivers,
a position group that will
take the ¿eld on Saturday
with quarterbacks and tight
ends. Running backs, offen-
sive linemen and specialists
work out Friday.
“De¿nitely and that’s
something as a rookie you
have to come in and expect
and that’s something I love to
do anyway,” Addison said of
returning kicks.
“When I was in high
school and college, it was
second nature to play special
teams.
“The best players played
special teams in my high
school and college, so I would
love to play special teams.”
Defensive
lineman
DeForest Buckner, quarter-
back Vernon Adams Jr. and
left tackle Tyler Johnstone
are the other former Oregon
players who will also partici-
pate in the combine.
The NFL draft will be
held April 28-30 in Chicago.

Raiders ride big quarter to win over TigerScots
Lost River
eliminates Weston-

East Oregonian
MERRILL — The Lost
River Raiders poured in 18
points in the second quarter
and the Weston-McEwen
TigerScots were never quite
able to recover in Friday’s
2A girls basketball playoff
game.
The Raiders held off the
Girls Hoops
W-McEwen
Lost River

40
TigerScots in the second
half for a 40-26 win that
ended Weston-McEwen’s
season.
The TigerScots (15-10)
were able to ¿nd an
advantage inside with its
posts, but when Lost River
started nailing its outside
shots Weston-McEwen was
unable to keep up.
“Our posts were able
to work a lot against their
posts inside,” said Weston-
McEwen coach Amber
Doremus of the team-high
eight points reached by
Sarah Finifrock and Ashley
Hill.
But Lost River (23-5) hit
four three-pointers to lead
the second-quarter assault
and stretched a two-point
lead to 27-16 by halftime.
“Then it was just a lid on
the basket in the second half
for us,” Doremus said.
With guard Chelsea Quae-
mpts battling foul trouble,
the TigerScots struggled to
get their offense Àowing
and Quaempts ¿nished with
four points while Ammarae
Broncheau was held to three.
Rachel Parks led Lost
River with 14 points and
Madison Storer added 10.

scare from Irrigon
Knights push
No. 1 Kennedy
in first round
East Oregonian
MT. ANGEL — The
Irrigon girls basketball
team didn’t play like a
timid newcomer to the state
postseason.
Playing the ¿rst state
playoff game in program
history, the Knights had
their chances to take down
No. 1 seed Kennedy, but
just couldn’t get a basket
when they needed one
most as they eventually
fell 38-28 in the ¿rst round
of the 2A state playoffs on
Friday.
“We had two opportu-
nities in the fourth quarter
to get within two points,”
said Irrigon coach Mike
Royer. “And we had good
opportunities, but we could
not quite catch (Kennedy),
could not get over the
hump.”
Post Kenzie Ratliff
came up big for the Trojans
(22-3) down the stretch
and scored seven of her 14
points in the fourth quarter.
“She hit some big
buckets from the high post
to put it out of reach,”
Royer said.
Lakin
Susee
led
Kennedy with 16 points.
Jada Burns paced Irrigon
(11-13) with 19 points,
but the Knights’ offense
was slow to start thanks to
Kennedy’s press.
“We struggled to get
into the half-court offense,”
Royer said. “We had to

resort to setting a lot of

a lot of picks.”
The Knights ¿nished
with 24 turnovers, but did
their best to make up for it
on defense.
“The girls played really
hard defensively,” Royer
said. “We had some good
opportunities but not a lot,
and it’s a game that when
you have good looks,
breakaway opportunities,
you have to capitalize on it,
and we didn’t do it.”
Burns

and Beatriz Aguilera had a

for the Knights.
With just two regulars
graduating after the season
(Aguilera
and
Kelly
McLaughlin), Royer said
he’s excited to see what the
Knights can do next season.
“They expected to win
and I think that’s good for
the future,” he said. “Obvi-
ously I feel really good
about our season. With the
number of young players
we have, the future is
obviously bright for Irrigon

and Condon/Wheeler used
a dominant second half to
pull away for a 64-45 win.
Knights coach Kevin
Gramson said Elkton’s
press gave his team trouble
as the Elks (22-8) jumped
out to a 12-5 lead in the
opening minutes.
“In the ¿rst half they
were in a full-court press,
complete pressure every-
where,” he said. “We had
some trouble rebounding,
too.”
Gramson said it took
two adjustments to get the
Knights back on track.
First was to drop their
zone defense and switch
to a man for the rest of
the game. That change
occurred midway through
the second quarter, and
seemed to ¿x the Knights’
rebounding
issues,
Gramson said.
Emma Logan carried
the Knights’ offense in the
¿rst half with 17 of her
game-high 35 points as the
teams went into the break
tied 26-26.
Gramson ¿gured out
how to get her some help
in the second half with a
tried-and-true method.
“We changed it up a
little bit and went to a little
bit of two-man game with
the pick-and-roll,” he said.
That helped free up
Brooke Dyer for her 15
points and Annika Riet-
mann added 10 more for
the Knights, which led
45-38 after three quarters.
Hannah Maxwell led
Elkton with 12 points
and Hailee Abraham and
Angela Holcomb each
added 11.
Condon/Wheeler will
make its ¿fth-straight
quarter¿nals appearance
against North Douglas at
6:30 p.m. on Wednesday in

beat Powder Valley 43-36
