PREPS: Rambo scores 27, McCullough adds best game of season
Continued from 1B
Xavier Rambo scored
10 points in the first quarter
and 19 by halftime to finish
with a team-high 27, Hunter
Walls hit four three-pointers
for 12 points, and Thomas
McCullough added 10 points
and seven rebounds in a rare
start for Hermiston (11-4, 1-0
CRC).
Arstein said he started
the 6-foot-1 McCullough
looking to infuse a little more
height in the lineup.
“He had his best game of
the year, played big inside
and finished with some
contact and had a good
overall game,” Arstein said.
Dakota Murr scored a
game-high 30 points for The
Dalles (2-8, 0-1), but had just
eight after halftime as the
Bulldogs were able to quiet
a rowdy Riverhawks crowd.
“It’s a pretty small gym
and (the crowd’s) all above
you and so you hear them
barking down on you,”
Arstein said. “Murr, you
can’t leave him open, but we
did a good job switching off
on him in the second half and
containing him.”
Murr had just two field
goals in the third quarter and
was limited to free throws
after that.
Walls had three of his
3-pointers in the third quarter
to reboot the Bulldogs after
halftime, and Arstein said it
was good to see the sopho-
more looking like himself
again after missing a game and
a few practices with the flu.
Hermiston led 62-40 after
three quarters and was able to
sit its starters the entire fourth
quarter.
“We got the win so that’s
always good on the road,”
Arstein said. “We played a
little bit better, but we’ve still
got work to do defensively.
… There’s nine games left
until the playoffs so there’s
definitely room to improve.”
The Bulldogs will get
right back to it today when
they host Hood River for a
CRC clash at 7 p.m.

PENDLETON
61,
BAKER 53 — At Baker City,
the Pendleton Buckaroos won
for the second time in as many
nights with a non-league
victory on the road against
Baker on Wednesday night. It
also marks the third-straight
victory overall for the Buck-
aroos.
Pendleton (6-4, 1-0 CRC)
next plays on Friday when
the Buckaroos travel to The
Dalles (2-8, 0-1) for their
first road league game of the
season.
POWDER
VALLEY
56, HELIX 39 — At North
Powder, a daunting press
defense by the Powder
Valley boys’ basketball team
held the Helix Grizzlies at
bay Tuesday night, giving the
Badgers a 56-39 league win.
Helix (3-10, 2-5 OOL)
turned the ball over 29 times,
many caused by the press
that kept the offense from
setting up. When they did get
set, Grizzly posts Jon Shaw
and Justin Williams were
effective down low. Shaw
scored 18 and Williams 13.
Gus McGinn led the
Badgers (12-3, 7-0 OOL)
with 16.
Helix has a big weekend in
store, with a trip to Wallowa
Friday and home game
against Cove on Saturday.
All three teams have two
league wins, and Coach Ben
Maney said the games could
determine district tournament
seeding.
BUCKS: Rendon edged in night’s most thrilling match-up BLAZERS:
Continued from 1B
and correctable mistakes we
can work on between now
and regionals when we see
these guys again.”
Pendleton’s Greg Lee
(9-4) kicked off the match
at 220 pounds against Alex-
ander Pedroza and got the
scoring going early with a
takedown midway through
the first round and led 5-0
at the end. At the start of the
second, it was clear that Lee
was in control and with 1:15
left in the round, he gained
position and got the whistle
for the win by fall to put his
Buckaroos up 6-0.
Hood River Valley got its
first win in the next match
at 285 pounds, when Justin
Wilson (28-8) defeated Pend-
leton’s Trevor Ulicini (13-6)
by fall at 1:23 in the first
round, though Phillips said
he was pretty pleased with
Ulicini’s performance.
“Trevor got a takedown
on a kid that’s probably
one of the top four or five
heavyweights in the state and
proved he can go with him,”
Phillips said. “But the one
move we told him to watch
for is what got him.”
The Eagles then won three
straight matches at 106, 113
(a forfeit), and 120 pounds as
Pendleton’s Caleb Tremper
and Chris Chambers were
outscored by a combined
27-3 before Tremper was
pinned and Chambers lost by
a 14-2 major decision. The
three losses put Pendleton in a
22-6 hole, but the Buckaroos
were ready to bounce back.

Pendleton’s Josh Mendoza tries for a pin against Hood River’s Albert Rojas in the
182 bout of Wednesday’s dual in Pendleton. Pendleton won 54-25.
126, junior Brendon Bedolla
(13-4) stepped in at 132 pounds
against Hood River’s Jonathan
Garcia and was determined to
add to his teams’ total. Bedolla
and Garcia spent the first
40-plus seconds trying to gain
leverage, until Garcia took a
shot and Bedolla pounced and
flipped Garcia into a win by fall.
“I have a fault where
I’m not that aggressive as a
wrestler, I kind of wait and
build up the momentum and
then attack,” Bedolla said of
his strategy. “(Garcia) took a
shot after reaching in on my
bad shot so I tried putting
him in a quarter hold and I
couldn’t and then I popped up
and threw him in a pancake,
which is a move I like to do.”
Phillips said that Bedolla’s
match was one of the high-
lights of the night for his team.
“Brendon’s kind of a
hot-and-cold guy, where
some days he looks unstop-
pable and some days you
wonder what happened to
the kid,” Phillips said. “He’s
got a few wins this season
with that very same pancake
move, it’s not something that
we necessarily work on a lot
but if it’s there, you hit it and
he got it, hit it hard and left no
doubt tonight.”
After Bedolla’s match,
Pendleton went on to win six of
the final seven matches — three
by forfeit, three by fall — as
they ran away with the victory.
Pendleton’s lone loss in
the stretch was perhaps the
most entertaining match
of the night at 138 pounds,
where Hood River’s Jason
Shaner took on Pendleton’s
Alex Rendon. The Buckaroo
sophomore got the first points
with a takedown early before
Shaner answered on a 6-1
run to gain the advantage.
Rendon was able to fight back
and gain some momentum to
close out the second round,
tying the match at 6-6 just as
the clock expired.
In the third round, fatigue
began to set in for Rendon as
Shaner simply out-muscled
Rendon and held on for a 9-7
decision.
“I just got tired at the end
of the match, (Shaner) was
in better shape than me,”
Rendon said.
Pendleton got three more
victories by pin on the night,
with Jeff Kovach (19-4) at 145
pounds, Shawn Yeager (9-10) at
152 pounds, and Josh Mendoza
(10-13) at 182 pounds. Yeager,
who is one of four sophomores
that rotate in and out of the 145
pound/152 pound classes, was
another wrestler that caught
Phillips’ eye.
“That’s a great job for
Shawn. We had just been
feeling all four of them out
lately and we put the call on
Shawn tonight,” Phillips said.
“We have a definite strategy
on him and it worked well
tonight. He did a good job, he’s
learning and getting better with
his leg ride which I’m excited
to watch and he’s going to be
dangerous for people in the
next couple of weeks.”
Two of Pendleton’s top
wrestlers, seniors Morgan
Holcomb (22-2) at 160 pounds
and Scott Chambers (17-6)
at 170 pounds, both won by
forfeit, as did sophomore
Aiden Henderson (8-13) and
sophomore Blake Davis (7-8).
Pendleton’s next action
will be on Wednesday, Feb. 1,
when they travel to Hermiston
for their final district dual of
the season.

Young’s 3-pointer tied it,
quieting the crowds’ ‘Beat
L.A.’ chant. Young made
another 3 to give Los Angeles
a 94-91 lead.
Lillard made three free
throws after he was fouled
by Jose Calderon to tie it,
and Portland pulled in front
on McCollum’s 3-pointer.
McCollum extended the lead
with a reverse layup with
2:40 left. The Blazers led the
rest of the way.
Mason Plumlee had 19
points and 13 rebounds for
the Blazers, who defeated the
Celtics in Boston 127-123 in
overtime on Saturday to snap
a four-game losing streak.
Portland was without Ed
Davis for the second straight
game because of a left wrist
injury, and Maurice Harkless,
who has a calf injury.
The Lakers didn’t have
D’Angelo Russell for the
second straight game because
of a sprained right knee and
calf. He is expected to miss
up to two weeks. Calderon
started in his place.
The Lakers held a 31-30
lead at the end of the first
quarter, but Portland opened
the second on a 9-2 run to go
up 41-33 on Pat Connaugh-
ton’s layup.
Williams’ floater got the
Lakers back within one at
45-44. They evened it at 52
on Ivica Zubac’s dunk and
took a lead on Young’s free
throw, but Portland had a
59-58 edge at halftime.
Williams led the Lakers
with 16 points at the break,
while McCollum had 16 for
Portland.
TIGERSCOTS: Championship girls’ squad went 24-1, beat Chiloquin for title
Continued from 1B
Their additions bring the
Hall’s number to 41 individ-
uals and nine teams.
Hasenbank becomes the
youngest member in just his
second year of eligibility.
Following a standout athletic
career as a TigerScot, Hasen-
bank went on to play football
at College of the Siskiyous
and later University of Idaho
as an offensive lineman.
Hasenbank earned his
Doctor of Pharmacy degree
from Washington State in
2015 and has remained an
active volunteer in his local
communities.
Mathwich, who began
his high school career as
an Athena Gladiator before
McEwen High opened in
1948, moved to Athena just
before his freshman year and
except for four years in the
navy has never left.
A three-sport standout,
Mathwich also was his senior
class president and president
of the F.F.A., played clarinet
in the school band and
participated in school plays
every year. After graduation
he enlisted in the navy and
served on the USS Romulus,
which repaired amphibious
military vehicles during the
Korean War. He married
his high school sweetheart
Beverly Tucker in 1953 and
worked as a bookkeeper and
branch manager at the local
bank for 36 years upon his
return to Athena.
Hansell also was a three-
sport varsity athlete and
student body president in
high school, and would earn
his Doctor of Veterinary
Medicine
degree
from
Washington State College in
1944. That same year he was
commissioned as an office
in the US Army Veterinary
Corps and served in India and
China during WWII rising to
the rank of captain.
A rancher at heart, Hansell
was an innovator in agricul-
ture who pioneered circle
pivot irrigation and was one
of the first local adopters of
no-till seeding. He also was
an early proponent for artifi-
cial insemination in cattle.
He was named Oregon
Father of the Year in 1973
and was named Athena First
Citizen in 1985. Also in
1973, he and his wife Joyce
were selected as Oregon
Conservation Farm of the
Year. In 1983 they traveled to
the White House where they
were awarded with the first
ever National Endowment for
Soil and Water Conservation
to reforest family land in the
Blue Mountains with 5,000
pine trees.
Hansell died in 1997
from cancer. He remained
an ardent supporter and
booster of Weston-McEwen
athletics later in life. All five
of his children and six of his
15 grandchildren attended
McEwen
and
Weston-
McEwen High Schools.
White came to Weston-
McEwen in 1996 and took
over as head volleyball coach
in 2003. He has guided the
TigerScots to OSAA titles
in 2004, 2010 and this past
season in 2016. His overall
record as head coach is
393-95. He’s 34-16 in the
postseason and 3-2 in title
games.
He has been named 2A
Coach of the Year four times,
Oregon Women’s Coach of
the Year in 2004-05, and his
teams have won three OSAA
sportsmanship awards.
White’s 2004 champion-
ship team was the first in girls
sports for Weston-McEwen,
and was inducted with last
year’s class. The 2005 girls
basketball team shared many
of the same players, and was
coached by Jeff Griggs and
assistants Amber Doremus
and Jeremy Maddern.
The TigerScots went 24-1
and beat Chiloquin 42-29 in
the title game at Pendleton
Convention Center. Kayla
Johnson and Kayla Paredes
both were named to the
all-tournament first team,
and Johnson was later the 2A
Player of the Year. Griggs was
named 2A Coach of the Year,
and Darcy Thompson and
Wendy Baker also received
all-league recognition that
season.
Other members of the
championship team were
Ashleigh Riddle, Susanna
Bonifer, Stephanie Zeller,
Kayla Turner and Sara
Smalley. Cheryl Lewis was
the team’s manager and other
staff members were Alyx
Johnson (stats), Cheyanne
Albie (ball girl), and Johanna
Werlund (book).
The
Weston-McEwen
Hall of Fame recognizes
nominated
outstanding
graduates, faculty and teams.
Individuals become eligible
10 years after graduation,
or in the case of coaches 10
years after the event they are
nominated for.
Several of this year’s
inductees will be in atten-
dance Friday, and there will
be a pre-game reception at the
high school where commu-
nity members are invited to
mingle prior to tip-off of the
girls varsity game at 6 p.m.
The boys game is sched-
uled to start at 7:30 p.m.
