first eight minutes with the
score knotted at 17 points
apiece.
“When you take a team
lightly, and that’s what
happened, you get a scare
like that,” Salas added.
Pilot Rock’s two bigs,
Chris Weinke and Bryson
Pierce, had a huge presence
inside while Irrigon was
finding its groove in transi-
tion. The pair scored a bulk of
Pilot Rock’s points, as Pierce
finished with a game-high 33
and Weinke dished out 18.
“We did a good scouting
report,” Salas said. “We
knew who was going to get
the ball, (Chris) Weinke and
(Bryson Pierce), (they’re)
just good ball players and we
knew that.”
In the second quarter,
the lead changed four times
before Pilot Rock went on
a 7-1 run to have the upper
hand at 28-22 with just over
five minutes until halftime.
The Rockets would hold
on to that lead and enter the
break up 41-39 as Weinke hit
a jumper at the buzzer.
This was the first time
all season the Knights were
down at the half. The only
other time they were in
trouble at the break was
when they were tied 32-32
with Mac-Hi on Dec. 19.
To bounced back in the
second half, the message
from Salas was simple.
“Settle down, relax,”
Salas told the group at half
time.
“When we panic, we don’t
play well,” he then said after
the game, “but when we are
able to move the ball a little
bit and pick our spots like
we usually do when we’re
settled, everything looks
great.”
Although
the
game
remained close throughout
the next two quarters, Irrigon
was slowly gaining the upper
hand.
Thanks to a 3-pointer at
the buzzer from Eric Carrillo
— who finished with eight
points — and another three
from Lino Covarrubia to
open the fourth, the Knights
went on a 4-2 run to put the
pressure back on the Rockets.
Emotions were running
high as the two teams battled
it out. Two technicals were
given, one to each team.
Keith Fleming received
on in the first quarter after
exchanging words with a
Rocket, and Pilot Rock’s
Levi Thieme was tagged
with one in the fourth for the
same offense.
Carrillo sunk three of
the four free throws he was
awarded because of the foul
and the technical and from
there the Knights sailed to its
11th straight win.
The Knights were led
by Keith Flemming, who
knocked down 26 points
NIXYAAWII 91, IONE
47 — At Helix, the Nixy-
aawii Golden Eagles topped
90 points for the third time
this season as they defeated
Ione on Friday evening.
The Cardinals held a
17-8 lead after the first
quarter, but the Golden
Eagles (9-2) found their
rhythm in the second quarter
and took off. Quanah Picard
led the Golden Eagles with
21 points while Dazan Sigo
had 18, Deven Barkley had
16, and Tyasin Burns had
14. Austin Morter led the
Cardinals with 15 points.

Irrigon’s Natalie Romero shoots the ball trailed by Pilot
Rock’s Sara Weinke in the Knights’ 47-41 win against
the Rockets on Friday in Irrigon.
— 15 of which came in the
second half. Johnny Phillips
also played a key role in the
victory, and contributed 16
points of his own to Irrigon’s
total.
GIRLS BASKETBALL
A day off surprisingly
hurt the Knights more than
it helped them. Despite
showing fatigue against the
Rockets, who looked fresh
after defeating Mac-Hi 56-34
on Thursday, Irrigon was
able to hold on and outlast
Pilot Rock to claim its fourth
consecutive win.
Irrigon had a steady lead
after the first two quarters.
The Knights outscored
the Rockets 16-4 in the
first and entered halftime
up 24-17. But even with
the upperhand entering the
final two quarters, Irrigon’s
sluggish second quarter and
rocky third gave Pilot Rock a
chance to strike back.
“I thought we started the
game (well), the first quarter
was good for us,” head coach
Mike Royer said. “We shot
the ball pretty well and we
passed it well and I think
defensively we played with
energy (but) we got tired
and you could tell — we
had trouble buying a basket
in the third quarter. Nothing
seemed to drop. We had
opportunities to pull away a
little bit but we never could.”
It was the Rockets who
entered the second half
with momentum. A late 7-1
run brought them only a
few possessions behind the
Knights.
They cut their deficit to
as little as three points with
three minutes left in the third
quarter.
“We made a couple of
sloppy passes because we
were tired,” Royer said. “We
didn’t shoot that well toward
the end of the second quarter
either and you have to keep
shooting the ball and shot it
with confidence.”
At that point, it was Pilot
Rock playing with confi-
dence while Irrigon struggled
on offense. The Knights
defensive efforts were giving
them plenty of opportunities
in transition, but they just
couldn’t find the basket.
A late effort from Brianna
Rice off the bench in the
fourth quarter gave Irrigon
some momentum as it was
able to hold off Pilot Rock’s
final push.
Rice scored all eight of her
points in the fourth quarter,
including a pair of three’s.
However, it was Jada
Burns who again led the
Knights with 10 points.
Three players chipped in
eight points, Ana Zacarias,
Kylie Wyant and Rice.
For Pilot Rock, Sara
Weinke led with 15 points.
