Wednesday, February 7, 2018 BRIEFLY Knicks’ Porzingis tears ACL, out for rest of season NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Knicks say All-Star Kristaps Porzingis has torn the ACL in his left knee. Porzingis was hurt in the second quarter of New York’s loss to Milwaukee on Tuesday night. He dunked with 8:46 left in the half and landed awkwardly, crashing to the court and holding his left knee. He was eventually helped up and taken to the locker room. He left the arena for an MRI exam that revealed the injury. Porzingis had scored 10 points before he was hurt. He was selected last month for his first All-Star appearance and averaged 22.6 points and 6.7 rebounds per game. Magic overcome 21-point deficit, stun reeling Cavs ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Jonathon Simmons scored 22 of his career-high 34 points in the third quarter and the Orlando Magic overcame a 21-point deficit Tuesday night to beat the reeling Cleveland Cavaliers, 116-98. The Cavaliers scored 43 points in the first quarter, but then went almost 6 1/2 minutes without scoring in the fourth and lost for the 14th time in 21 games. They played the second half without coach Tyronn Lue, who went to the locker room in the second quarter with what the team said was an illness. The Magic made their first 10 shots of the second half and won consecutive games for the first time since Nov. 8-10. LeBron James had 25 points, 10 rebounds and five assists for the Cavaliers, but did not have a rebound or an assist in a foul-plagued second half. Former 5-star QB Eason transfers to Washington SEATTLE (AP) — Washington announced former Georgia quarterback Jacob Eason is transferring to the Huskies. Eason was a five-star recruit from Lake Stevens High School near Seattle. He signed with Georgia in 2016 and started as a freshman, but injured his knee in last season’s opener and never could regain his starting job from freshman Jake Fromm. Georgia went to the national title game East Oregonian Page 3B SPORTS BUCKAROOS: Used 33-8 run to take with Fromm and soon after Eason said he was control of game, cruised in second half transferring back home. Eason passed for 2,458 yards and 16 touchdowns with eight interceptions in 16 games for Georgia. He will have sit out this season to fulfil NCAA requirements, but he would be on target to replace senior Jake Browning in 2019. Olympic workers being tested for norovirus PYEONGCHANG, South Korea (AP) — About 1,200 people working security at the Pyeongchang Olympics are being kept in their rooms while they’re tested for norovirus. Pyeongchang’s Olympic organizing committee said Monday that officials started investigating a norovirus outbreak after 41 security guards suffered diarrhea and vomiting. Officials are examining food and water sources at a mountainside facility in Pyeongchang where the guards had been staying and also inspecting 18 other facilities that rely on groundwater. Norovirus is a contagious virus that causes stomach pain, nausea and diarrhea. PREPS: Hermiston girls thump Eagles Continued from 1B HERMISTON 46, HOOD RIVER 24 — At Hood River, Hermiston held the Hood River Valley Eagles to a scoreless third quarter en route to a 46-24 victory. The Bulldogs (8-12 overall, 4-1 Columbia River Conference) were led by senior Hannah Thompson, who finished the night with a game-high 12 points. Seven of those points were in the first quarter when Hermiston opened with a 12-7 lead. The Eagles (9-10, 1-4) answered back in the second, scoring in double digits but Herm- iston matched their efforts to increase its lead going into halftime. The Bulldogs went on to outscore the Eagles 24-7 in the second half. Thompson received help from junior Sydney Stefani, who scored nine points of her own. For Hood River, senior Lauren Orr was its top shooter with eight points. ——— HHS 12 10 19 5 — 46 HRV 7 10 0 7 — 24 HERMISTON — H. Thompson 12, S. Ste- fani 9, J. Romero 8, J. Ray 7, M. Wilson 2, D.

As the defense worked hard, the offense struggled to get going. With 3:15 left in the second quarter, the Riverhawks’ Paulina Flinn nailed a mid-range jumper to cut the Pendleton lead to 17-13. But that was as close as the Buckaroos would let the Riverhawks get. Over the next 14-plus minutes of game time, Pendleton went on a 33-8 run to open up a 53-21 lead. That allowed Porter to rest his starting five for the final six-plus minutes of the game, continuing to get valuable game experience for his reserves. Porter liked what he saw from the second unit, which continues to show positive development as the season has gone along, and contributed 13 points. Freshman Josie Wilson was the first player off the bench in both halves and played solid defense and was just one player that Porter singled out from Tuesday. “When we started out the year, the only returning varsity player on the bench was Katie Bradt and she spent till after Christmas injured,” Porter said. “I didn’t expect to have a freshman (Wilson) come in and get significant minutes, but she’s earned it. And someone like Samantha Spriet doesn’t maybe score as many points but she’s big on defense, with Hunter Kiele, who is a workhorse. “So now, I feel I can go nine deep and tonight we went 12 deep.” Even with Lemberger’s second-half burst and the bench’s performance, the most impressive Buckaroo on the court still was Kalan Staff photo by E.J. Harris Pendleton’s Natalie Neveau shoots the ball guarded by The Dalles’ Bailey LeBreton in the Bucks’ 60-30 win against the Riverhawks on Tuesday in Pendleton. McGlothan. The senior added another double- double with 16 points and 11 rebounds, using her phys- icality to perfectly position herself for rebounds and fighting through contact for baskets. Now, Pendleton has three days to fine-tune things before Friday’s rematch with Hermiston, this time on the Buckaroos’ home turf. Porter says the team didn’t even talk about the Bulldogs until Tuesday’s postgame talk in the locker room, but he knows they’ll be ready for their rival. “This is a great group,” he said. “They don’t want to lose and they’re starting to understand that they can be pretty good and that’s making them dangerous right now.” ———— TDS 5 8 3 14 — 30 PHS 11 13 17 19 — 60 THE DALLES — P.

BULLDOGS: Andreason leads team with game-high 19 points, Ortiz adds 12 Continued from 1B Arstein called a timeout, and for 30 seconds the Bulldogs drew up a plan to run one of their sets that gave them two different options. Except, when they came out of the timeout, soph- omore Andrew Earl saw a shot her couldn’t refuse and tried for an open three to give Hermiston the lead. The missed attempt was one of many the Bulldogs (8-11, 3-2) had from behind the arc Tuesday night. Eagles defenders fought for the rebound, got it, and Dakota Kurahara was immediately fouled. Until that point, Kurahara’s only points of the game were in the second quarter, a set of field goals that capped off Hood River’s 13-0 run. For his first appearance at the charity stripe, the senior went 1-for-2 to now give the Eagles a three-point advantage. With mere seconds left, the ball find Earl behind the arc once again. This time he’s in the left corner and as Herm- iston’s Thomas Mc- Cullough shoots the ball over Hood River’s J.J. My- ers in the Bulldogs’ 71-69 win against the Ea- gles on Tuesday in Herm- iston. Staff photo by E.J. Harris Hood River defenders start to charge toward him, he shoots and scores his only points of the game to knot it up at 62 points apiece and sending the game to overtime. In the single overtime period, Hermiston would use another long ball to stay in the game. In that same left corner with 53.1 seconds left on the clock, off the hands of junior Ryne Andreason, the Bulldogs were back in it as the scoreboard read 67-67. Hood River continued to use its athleticism to power its way to the hoop for the lead in the final 20 seconds of play. Hermiston quickly moved the ball down the court, and it once again ended up in Andreason’s hands. In an effort to stop him, Hood River sophomore Noah Webster picked up his fifth foul and sent Andreason to the free-throw line. Andreason sank both attempts to put the Bulldogs up 71-69, and Hood River had one last chance to tie or win the game. However, the Eagles’ top scorer, Tactay, mishandled the ball and the ball bounced away as the final buzzer sounded to clinch the win for Hermiston. “I thought the guys stayed aggressive, positive in time- outs, and I’m glad to get the win at home,” Arstein said. For much of the game, Hermiston had to battle back from holes it dug itself into. The biggest was in the final three minutes of the second quarter. After the opening quarter, the Bulldogs held a 12-10 lead. They increased their advantage to 26-17, the largest lead of any team during the game. That’s when the Eagles engineered their 13-0 run to go up 30-26 at the break. Kurahara received helped from Tactay and senior JJ Mears to give Hood River a lead they would not relin- quish until Hermiston went on a run of its own in the final minutes of the third quarter. Andreason had just made a much needed point in transition to put the Bulldogs within one possession of the Eagles’ 41-38 lead. Mears answered back with one of his four 3-pointers on the night, again increasing Hood River’s lead to 44-38. With the ball once again back in Andreason’s hands, a made free throw sparked a 10-0 run that gave Hermiston a 48-44 lead entering the final quarter in regulation. The Bulldogs outscored the Eagles 22-14 in the third, led by the efforts of senior Thomas McCullough. In the fourth, behind three lead changes, Hermiston was only up in the opening seconds — before Tactay scored his first of 13 points in the quarter — and with a little under four minutes left, when junior Cesar Ortiz hit his second and last 3-pointer of the night. The win gives Hermiston much needed momentum as it prepares for a matchup in Pendleton on Friday. A win will tie the Bucks atop the league standings, and a loss will make it hard for any CRC team to stop the defending champions. ——— HRV 10 20 14 18 7 — 69 HHS 12 14 22 14 9 — 71 HOOD RIVER VALLEY — J.
