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.

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

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

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.

first points of the game, but
then missed 18 straight shot
attempts thanks to the Buck-
aroos’ stingy defense.
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

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.”

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

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.
