Newspaper Page TextPage 4B SPORTS East Oregonian Saturday, February 18, 2017 VIKINGS: Webb scores 23 points BULLDOGS: Continued from 1B Continued from 1B the crowd like this in this gym and I loved it,” Umatilla coach Derek Lete added. “When you can’t hear yourself think or talk it’s a great feeling especially when the score- board is like this.” The game was in Irrigon’s control for the majority of the game, with the Knights leading through most of the second, third and fourth wuarters. But just as Irrigon would get a cushion, Umatilla would charge right back. That was the case late in the fourth, when Irrigon was holding a four-point cushion with less than 30 seconds to play. But then Justin Maret hit his biggest shot of the night, a 3-pointer from nearly the same spot as Garcia would hit from later, to cut the Knights’ lead to 59-58 with 15.6 left to play. And then things just fell into place for the Vikings. “It was honestly one of the best games I’ve been a part of,” Lete said. “You can’t draw it up like this.” Webb led all scorers with 23 points and also dished out eight assists for the Vikings, with 15 of those points coming in the second half. Trent Durfey had a double- double for the Vikings with 13 points and 11 rebounds while Maret had nine points and seven boards. Irrigon led 28-23 at halftime thanks to a red-hot shooting performance and some effective man-to-man defense. The Knights shot 52 percent (12-23) in the quarter and were constantly giving the Vikings fits. “Irrigon played a really good first half and we didn’t,” Lete said. “I talked to the guys at halftime about just having confidence ... I thought we could play better and I didn’t think they could play any better than they did ... but Irrigon just played really tough, they’re game plan was great but I’m just proud of the guys for pulling it out.” Irrigon played well for the majority of the second half, but missed shots and turnovers down the stretch caught up to them. Irrigon shot 51 percent through three quarters, but made just 3-13 shots in the fourth quarter and turned the ball over a total of 23 times. Johnny Philips led Irrigon with 16 points and seven rebounds and Austin Rice followed with 14 points and 3-5 shooting from 3-point range. Hayden White added a double-double with 10 points and 12 rebounds. UP NEXT The victory clinches a home first-round playoff game for Umatilla, while Irrigon will wait to learn its seeding in the state tourna- ment after the rankings freeze on Saturday evening. ——— a win at home and now we have three days to get ready for the battle at Pendleton.” Hermiston (15-6, 5-2 CRC) owed part of its success to a balanced score sheet, which has been something of a rarity this season. Four players finished in double figures for Hermiston, led by Xavier Rambo with a game- high 16. Behind him, Chance Flores had 15, Jordan Ramirez had 13 and Hunter Walls had 12. “I thought people were pretty unselfish at times,” Arstein said of the balance, “and we’ve talked about getting more assists as a team so that was a pretty good night. We took some steps in the right direction and it’s nice to get a couple wins in a row here.” Hermiston led for the majority of the game, holding an 18-9 advantage after one quarter and a 34-16 lead at the break.

River’s offense picked up a bit in the second half, scoring 36 total points but the Bulldogs boosted their scoring as well to keep a sizable cushion. The abundance of fouls called meant numerous trips to the free throw line for Hermiston where they managed a solid 20-27 (74 percent) mark to Hood River’s 8-18 (44 percent). UP NEXT Hermiston heads to Pendleton for the third-and-final meeting with the Buckaroos this season. Pendleton won the previous two, 64-43 in Pendleton and 47-39 in Hermiston. ———— Staff photo by E.J.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — The NBA has warned that Texas could be overlooked for future events because of a proposed “bathroom bill” targeting transgender people. The Texas legislation is similar to a North Carolina law that prompted the league to move the All-Star Game out of that state. It would require people to use bathrooms that correspond to the sex on their birth certificate. NBA spokesman Mike Bass says an environment where people are treated “fairly and equally” weighs heavily in deciding host locations. The NBA first made the statement last week, and the NFL has issued similar warnings. Texas has hosted three All-Star Games since 2006.
