SPORTS Tuesday, February 28, 2017 East Oregonian Page 3B College Basketball Mountaineers beat Raiders for CCC championship ASHLAND — The 13th-ranked Eastern Oregon women’s basketball team broke a fourth-quarter tie against No. 6 Southern Oregon with 3-pointers on four straight possessions to capture the Cascade Collegiate Conference Tournament championship, 74-69, on Monday night at Mountain Avenue Gym. EOU (28-4) and SOU (27-4), which shared the regular-season title, had both already secured the CCC’s two automatic bids to the NAIA Division II tourna- ment prior to the game. The Mountaineers shook off an ugly first quarter in which they shot 2-of-10 from the field and committed 10 turnovers, turning a 15-4 deficit into a 45-31 lead by the middle of the third quarter. After SOU forced a 56-56 tie on Tiani Bradford’s 3 with 5:27 left, EOU got triples on consecutive possessions Women EOU SOU 74 69 from Jessica Sexton, Reece Bauer, Payton Parrish and Sexton again, making it 68-59 with 3:25 to play. Knight had team-highs of 14 points and eight rebounds, contributing to EOU’s 43-17 advantage in bench points. The Mounties finished 12-of-27 beyond the arc, also getting 11 points apiece from Parrish and Sexton. Bradford’s 19 points and seven rebounds paced the Raiders, whose 27-game home win streak was snapped. The tournament title is EOU’s fourth overall and first since 2013. Oregon Tech will play Corban at 7 p.m. tonight in Klamath Falls to decide the men’s champion. MEN’S BASKETBALL CORBAN 200, EASTERN OREGON 90, At La Grande, the second seeded Mountaineers fell at home to eighth seeded Corban on Saturday night in the CCC semifinals, as AJ Monterossi blitzed through the Mountie defense to score 32 points. In the loss, four Mountain- eers scored in double figures as senior guard Kentrell Washington tallied 23 points and nine rebounds. Senior forward Bryan McGriff and junior guard Blake O’Don- nell each added 13 points while combining for nine rebounds and four assists. Finishing out the double digit scorers was senior forward Michael Hillman who put up 11 points on 5-of-6 shooting while grabbing five boards. Corban out shot EOU from the field, 50.8 percent compared to EOU’s 42.7. WRESTLING: Pendleton’s Holcomb, Mac-Hi’s Wells place 2nd Continued from 1B he didn’t have the control needed to score the winning points. After rolling onto his side, Hendon got the opening he needed and popped his head out of the lock and quickly jumped on top of a prone Diaz de Leon for the winning points. As Hendon acknowledged to his own cheering section, Diaz de Leon pleaded his own case for a takedown to the referees. After conferring with each other and the scor- er’s table, Hendon’s hand was raised for the only state title of his career. That was a moment Heppner/Ione’s Cord Flynn had just missed out on his junior season when he was second at 195 pounds to Culver’s Jaiden Jones. The two met for the rematch on Saturday, and this time it was Flynn celebrating at the end when he beat Jones with a 7-3 score. Jones scored first, though, and was up 3-0 in the second period before an escape an immediate takedown by Flynn knotted the score. Flynn took a 5-3 lead into the final period when he scored a two-point near-fall at the buzzer. Flynn chose the bottom position to start, but was quickly back on top with a reversal in the first 10 seconds to make it 7-3, and he was able to ride out Jones for the win. It was the second time Flynn had beaten Jones this season, and made him the fourth state champion the program has produced and the first wrestler from Ione to win a state title. Flynn needed to win just three matches total for his title, but didn’t exactly have an easy road. He beat Culver’s Cylus Hoke 7-4 in the quarterfinals on Friday and Lowell’s Zachary Kint- zley 9-3 in the semifinals earlier Saturday. After pinning his way through the first three rounds, Rockwell won his second 3A state title with a 9-3 decision over Kasey Collier of Glide. Rockwell was ahead 4-1 at the end of the first period and was able to stay a half step ahead of Collier the entire match, picking up points with takedowns. Rockwell won his semi- final match with a pin in 1:08 over Burns’ Kyran Simpson. Only two other local wres- tlers won in the semifinals on Saturday — Pendleton senior Morgan Holcomb and Mac-Hi junior Spencer Wells. Holcomb earned his third pin of the tournament against Lebanon’s Joseph Blisseck CLASS 3A Team Scores 1, Nyssa 2, Willamina/Falls City 3, Dayton 4, Glide 5, Harrisburg 8, Riverside 14, Irrigon in 57 seconds. That set up a 5A 160-pound final against Dallas’s Tanner Earhart, where Earhart prevailed by the narrowest of margins 7-6. He had placed third as a junior and finished with an 8-4 record in three state tournaments. Wells was another state veteran making his first trip to the final match when he pinned Baker’s Hudson Cole in 3:25 in the semifinals. He’ll be hungry to make it back there as a senior after losing to Cascade’s Louie Sanchez 10-4. He’s been to state all three years in high school and is 7-6 overall there. As a team, Hermiston placed the highest of any locals in fourth with 138 points. Crater won the 5A team title with 175.5 points. Riverside also secured a top 10 finish and was eighth at 3A with 68 points. Nyssa won the title with 287. Culver won the 2A/1A title with 202.5 points, and Sweet Home edged Crook County by half a point with 181 for the 4A championship. ——— CLASS 5A Team Scores 1, Crater 2, Dallas 3, Redmond 4, Hermiston 5, Sandy 17, Pendleton IRRIGON Jose Romero (138) — Champ.
