UMATILLA: Girls fall in one-point loss to hand Stanfi eld its second victory
Continued from 1B
team was to step up its
defensive output. During
Umatilla’s road trip the most
points it had given up was 61
points — the second most
points scored on the Vikings
this season.
“We’ve held teams, even
our losses, way below their
averages and that was our
goal tonight to hold them
below their average,” he said.
“We met our goal.”
The Tigers (6-8) were
averaging 48.7 points per
game coming into Thurs-
day’s game, and fi nished
well below barely reaching
the 20-point mark.
“Defense has kind of been
our MO,” Bow said. “Our
kids have bought into the
defense very very well and
that’s the one thing every
night we’ve relied on.”
Umatilla’s
defense
completely
shut
down
Stanfi eld. The Tigers were
kept in the single digits every
quarter, and no player was
able to score more than eight
points — junior Fernando
Ramirez led the team with
eight points.
And with good defense
comes good offense. Uriel
Garcia had a team-high of
four 3-pointers, while Webb
and Sebastian Garcia each
had two apiece.
Coming off of the back-
to-back losses with a nearly
40-point victory is a good
momentum booster, but Bow
and his squad know none of
that matter when league play
starts next week.
“Records out the wind at
this point for us,” he said.
“0-0 everyone is fresh.”
Umatilla will get some
much needed rest before
hosting Irrigon on Jan 12 to
open Eastern Oregon League
play.
GIRLS
BASKETBALL
Entering
Thursday’s
doubleheader
against
Umatilla, Stanfi eld girls
basketball head coach,
Daniel Sharp, told his then-
one-win team at the half that
if they committed over 30
turnovers they would lose the
game.
Well, good thing coach
was wrong because the tough
Tiger squad outlasted the
Vikings to win only their
second game of the year.
The 33-32 victory came
down to the wire, and
despite the 34 total turnovers
committed by Stanfi eld, the
Tigers (2-11) were able to
hold on for the win.
“I thought we played
harder than we have been,”
Sharp said. “We played

Vikings on Thursday in Umatilla.
Umatilla earlier in the year
so it’s always fun to get a
second game and see if we
can get better, and that was
the goal: to get better.”
In the two’s team fi rst
meeting back on Dec. 9,
it was the Vikings who
came away with the narrow
victory. The 49-41 loss
was Stanfi eld’s seventh in
a row at that point in the
season, but Sharp saw some
improvement on the court
and notable performances
from a few Tigers.
“Kendra (Hart) played
though,” Sharp said. “She
had four fouls in the whole
fourth quarter but said, ‘I’ll
go play,’ and she did — and
she didn’t foul, she played
smart. She’s a super athlete.
“I thought that Amanda
(Carrillo) fi nally started
to attack,” he added. “We
lacked that ability to attack
the basket and she did that
tonight. I thought (Allison
Griffi n) played good defense.
When they do their role, it
works out better.”
The fi rst quarter of what
ended as a nail bitter was
forgettable. Both teams
committed more turnovers
than attempted shots, and the
score was a meager 5-4 in
favor of Stanfi eld.
Play picked up before the
break with the Tigers still
holding on to their lead —
this time up 19-14.
The Vikings (3-11) made
some adjustments at the
break and outscored Stanfi eld
8-4 in the third quarter.
Both teams put up 10
points apiece in the fourth
and fi nal quarter, but thanks
to the Tigers’ early efforts
they were able to squeak
away with the win.
Sophomore
Savannah
Sharp led those efforts with a
game-high 12 points. Carrillo
pitched in 10 and Hart added
eight of her own.
Leading Umatilla was
junior Charlene Alvarez,
who fi nished with 10 points.
Stanfi eld has one more
game before league play
when it hosts Echo on
Tuesday. Like the boys,
Umatilla will enjoy some
time off before facing Irrigon
in the fi rst game of the EOL
opening doubleheader.

TIGERSCOTS: Boys continue to show improvement, but come up short

Grant-
Union’s Cauy
Weaver (10)
during Thurs-
day’s non-
league game
in Athena.
Continued from 1B
points of the game on an
elbow jumper by Trinity
Hearn just 15 seconds in for a
2-0 lead, which was the only
lead the TigerScots would
hold for the entire game.
Grant Union took the lead
back one minute later on a
3-pointer by Mariah Moulton
as the Prospectors then went
on a 17-2 run over the next
fi ve minutes of game time to
take complete control of the
game and coast to the victory.
Weston-McEwen now has
two more non-league games
remaining before league play
begins, fi rst up at home with
Imbler on Saturday. Giusti
said when his team hits the
fl oor for practice on Friday,
they’ll work heavily on deci-
sion-making.
“I think we’ll be okay,”
he said. “We’ll learn how
to fi ght through it and learn
how to make more under
control decisions when the
other team tries to speed
you up. It’s hard to simulate
in practice, so tonight was a
good learning experience.”

WESTON-MCEWEN
51 — The 2017-18 season
has been a struggle for the
Weston-McEwen TigerScots.
A playoff team one year
ago, the TigerScots’ depth
was hit hard by graduating
seniors such as Shaw
Broncheau, Ethan Reger, and
Garrett Hungerford, causing
the TigerScots to stumble
through their non-league
schedule with a lineup full of
inexperienced varsity players
outside of seniors Brett Speed
and Jacob Speed.
Thursday night Weston-
McEwen showed some
glimpses of their potential on
Thursday night against Grant
Union, battling well with
a top-15 team in Class 2A.
However the TigerScots just
didn’t have enough fi repower
on both ends of the fl oor as
the Prospectors left town with
a 66-51 victory.
Brett Speed led the
TigerScots (3-10) with 17
points with eight rebounds,
Jacob Speed added 10 points
and Blair Rudolph fi nished
with eight points with a pair
of made 3-pointers. Weston-
McEwen coach Brian Pickard
said he’s slowly seeing the
progression out of some of
those newcomers.
“We’re starting to get
some guys to step up,”
Weston-McEwen
coach
Brian Pickard said. “Kevin
Rodriguez ... he’s starting
to contribute points, Gavin
Smith’s getting there, Blair
Rudolph, we’re getting there.
I think we really have to sure
things up at the defensive end
of the fl oor right now. Right
now we’re just playing a lot
of zone because we don’t play
very good man-to-man and
we have to work at it.”
Like the girls before them,
the TigerScots scored the fi rst
points of the game on a corner
3-pointer from Brett Speed
25 seconds into the game
for a 3-0 lead, the only time
they would hold a lead. Grant
Union took the lead back 4-3
with 6:30 left and fi nished the
quarter 19-8 to give them-
selves a 12-point cushion.
However in the second
quarter, the TigerScots fought
back. Their defense forced
some turnovers and led to
some transition baskets,
which helped the TigerScots
get within fi ve points at 28-23
with 3:40 left and kept them
within eight points of the
Prospectors at halftime. The
tenacity continued early in
the third quarter to keep the
TigerScots close, but they just
could not cash in on opportu-
nities. Three straight posses-
sions the TigerScots had man
advantages in transition and
came away with zero points.
“That’s something that’s
plagued us all year,” Pickard
said. “We miss easy shots and
then it seems like the other
team always turns around and
hits a couple of threes or a few
lay-ins and we can’t recover
from it, which happened
again.”
Instead of the TigerScots
creeping closer, the Prospec-
tors took off and outscored
the TigerScots 19-6 in the
third quarter and kept a
considerable cushion for
the remainder of the game.
Duane Stokes led the Pros-
pectors with 18 points and
Wade Reimers added 15.
“It’s like a broken record
but we’re defi nitely getting
better,” Pickard added. “We
just have to do some simple
things better and make
baskets. This was a pretty
good team we faced tonight
and I thought we were right
there with them for awhile.
“Now we have a week to
fi gure this out until we play
Heppner to start league.”
