BURNS: Averaging 13.8 points per game in career as a four-year varsity starter
Page 2B
East Oregonian
Continued from 1B
three years.
Burns’ freshman year
in 2014-15 was her first as
the starting point guard for
the Knights and it was also
Royer’s first year at the helm
of the program. That year,
Irrigon finished 7-13 overall
and Burns earned first team
all-Columbia Basin Confer-
ence honors after she scored
258 points, an average of
12.9 per game.
The following year,
again with Burns leading
the team on the court and
Royer calling plays from the
sideline, the team added two
wins to its total, ending 11-13
overall. This was Irrigon’s
final year competing in Class
2A and Burns’ output drasti-
cally increased and turned in
360 points as a sophomore,
or 15 per game, once again
earning herself first team
all-Columbia Basin Confer-
ence honors and third team
all-state honors.
And last season in
Irrigon’s first go in Class

Irrigon’s Jada Burns shoots during Saturday’s non-con-
ference game against La Grande in Hermiston.
3A, Burns met the tougher
competition head on and
kept producing night in and
night out. She scored 345
points, an average of 15.7 per
game, and led the Knights
to a winning record (12-10)
and was the only junior to
earn first team all-Eastern
Oregon League honors.
Burns has opened this
season with 115 points so
far, and is one pace to add at
least 150 more to her total by
season’s end.
Her early success has
been a catalyst for the team,
which started the year unde-
feated before heading into
Saturday’s matchup. But
a 44-39 loss to the Tigers
stained the Knights’ record.
Burns’ accomplishment
wasn’t overshadowed by the
loss, but it was a hard pill to
swallow. The defeat could
have turned out to be another
tally in the win column, but
with Burns suffering from
an illness this past week she
was not at her best.
“I honestly think if Jada
would have been healthy
Saturday we might have
had a shot at beating them
because
honestly,
she
shouldn’t have even played,”
Royer said.
But playing through pain
just comes with the territory.
“You just have to say
it’s for the team and fight
through it,” Burns said.
“I mean, it was hard to go
out there and feel like you
couldn’t move and couldn’t
breathe but I did what was
best for the team.”
As an all-league shortstop
in softball, the junior varsity
quarterback and varsity
backup as a senior, and an
all-league volleyball player,
Burns has spent many years
on the court, on the field and
in the dirt.
Each experience building
on one another, giving Burns
confidence and increasing her
athletic ability and smarts.
“It just took a lot of
confidence,” Burns said
on reaching the milestone.
“You start at the beginning
and you have to work your
way up and you just realize
you want to win and you’ll
do anything to win and if it
wasn’t for my teammates I
definitely would never have
gotten where I’ve gotten. We
build as a team.”
Burns’
success
has
elevated the level of play
across the Knights’ 11-player
roster. Now, in her senior
year instead of racking up
the buckets she’s looking
more to dish out assists to
her teammates than she has
in the past, and still more
often than not is leading the
team in points after its all
said and done.
“This year (Jada) has
been a leader for us in assists
and just getting us set up and
handling pressure,” Royer
said. “We always look to
Jada and as a coach, it’s been
really nice having someone
like her as a point guard the
past four years.
“I mean, she knows how
to score,” he added. “She’s a
good scoring threat, and she
just knows basketball. She’s
a smart basketball player,
and is going to have a good
senior year too.”

Now Pendleton heads

to feel eachother out on the

77,
IMBLER 15 — The
streaking Nixyaawii Eagles
continued to shut down their
competition while putting big
numbers on the board. Their
77-15 win was highlighted
by 20-point performance
from senior Mary Stewart.
Stewart, along with
seniors Milan Schimmel
and Kaitlynn Melton, led the
team in its seventh straight
win. Schimmel pitched in
12 points, and had a team-
best nine assists and eight
rebounds. Melton added 11
points of her own.
Imbler (2-5) had minimal
success against Nixyaawii
(7-0) on Wednesday night.
After scoring only 13 points
through the first three
quarters, the Panthers only
knocked down one field goal
in the fourth quarter.
Their
efforts
were
squashed thanks to a stellar
defensive
performance.
Nixyaawii
created
24
turnovers, 15 of which were
steals en route to the 60-plus
point victory.
“(I’m) very pleased with
our defense and unselfish
play,” Eagles head coach
Jeremy Maddern said.

WESTON-MCEWEN 36
— At Portland, the Weston-
McEwen TigerScots got the
chance to play like the pros
on Wednesday afternoon,
playing a non-league game
against Toledo at Moda
Center, the home of the
Portland Trail Blazers. But
when all was said and done,
the TigerScots came up
short to Toledo 56-36.
From the start, the
Boomers took control and
jdumped to an early 17-8
lead after one quarter. It
was a lead they would never
relinquish as they claimed
a 56-36 victory after 32
minutes of play.
Weston-McEwen (2-7)
has struggled as of late,
and were only to pick up
one win during a six-game
stretch. Senior Brett Speed
continues as the TigerScots
top performer and led the
team with 18 points.
For Toledo (4-5), soph-
omore Conner Marchant
finished with a game-best
21 points.
The TigerScots have a
quick turnaround and will
host Waitsburg (WA) on

59,
IMBLER 36 — After a
close two-point loss nearly
two weeks ago, the Eagles
have been doing nothing but
winning and they continued
their streak with a 59-36
victory over Imbler on
Wednesday.
Sophomore
Mick
Shimmel led Nixyaawii with
18 points, while sophomore
Jayce Burnette was Imbler’s
top point getter with 10.
It was one of the Eagles
(6-1)
more
physical
matchups, as the Panthers
(1-6) brought their own
toughness to the matchup.
“It wasn’t out cleanest
game,” Nixyaawii head
coach Shane Rivera said,
“but we won.”

will also face the Umatilla

BLAZERS: Trailed by eight at halftime, used 17-4 run to take 64-61 lead in third
Continued from 1B
Lillard and C.J. McCollum
struggled offensively, as the
two combined to shoot 11 of
39. McCollum, who was 5 of
22, had 13 points.
San
Antonio
outre-
bounded Portland 53-38.
The Spurs took the lead
for good with five minutes
remaining at 86-85 on a
layup by Ginobili. But the
win wasn’t secure until the
end, when McCollum’s
3-point shot glanced off the
rim as time expired.
San Antonio led 54-46
at halftime after a torrid
first half from Aldridge and
Gasol, who combined to
shoot 15 of 20 from the floor.
The Spurs withstood a
rough stretch during the third
quarter, when Nurkic scored
11 points during a 17-4 run
that gave the Blazers a 64-61
lead. But the Spurs recov-
ered, grabbing a 74-72 lead
after three quarters on Kyle
Anderson’s buzzer-beating
3-pointer.
TIP-INS
Spurs: San Antonio
attempted only one free
throw in the first half. Neither
team shot a free throw during
the first quarter. ... Anderson
(left MCL sprain) returned
to action for the first time
in nine games. Also back
after missing two games
was Danny Green (groin).
... Leonard averaged 28.3
points in three games against
Portland last season.
Trail Blazers: A semi-
truck hauling a large trash
bin lost control while driving
down a steep road in South-
west Portland, plunging
into Turner’s swimming
pool Wednesday morning.
Turner was home in bed at
the time. The driver was
taken to Oregon Health and
Science University Medical
Center with serious injuries.
... McCollum missed his first
11 shots before finally hitting
a 12-footer midway through
the third quarter.
