A solid first quarter
gave the bucks girls bas-
ketball team a lead they
wouldn’t relinquish en
route to a 66-44 win over
the St. Helens Lions on
Thursday night.
but for Pendleton, the
game was more than just
a win. Katie bradt led
with 12 points and 12
rebounds, said her team is
finally starting to “click.”
“Winning is a team
thing,” bradt said. “i
think we’ve finally got
to the point where the
team works together as a
whole.”
The two teams kept
within a point of each
other for the opening 4 1/2
minutes until senior elli
Nirschl hit a 3-pointer to
put the bucks ahead 11-7.
bradt added a bucket to
keep Pendleton in control
before the bucks sprinted
out to a 21-11 lead by the
end of the quarter.
“you could call it a
slow start, but it picked
up,” said coach Kevin
Porter. “We definitely
changed our tempo going
forward.”

to work. The 5-foot-9
senior post hit two bas-
kets and assisted sopho-
more Natalie Neveau for
a 27-18 Pendleton lead.
The Bucks scored five
more points and kept the
the pressure up in the sec-

The postseason acco-
lades keep rolling in for the
Pendleton football team.
Thursday, 11 bucks
were named to the Orego-
nian’s 5a all-State Foot-
ball Team, which is voted
on by coaches throughout
the state.
Four seniors — running
back aiden Patterson, cen-
ter everett Willard, defen-
sive lineman beau Skinner
and linebacker Kirk Liscom
— were named to the first
team.
“We did really well,”
said Pendleton coach erik
davis, who is one of four
finalists for the 5A coach of
the year. “it’s an honor to
be recognized from the east
side of the state. it’s voted
on by the coaches, and that
makes the legitimacy that
much greater.”
Davis said it is the first
time since 2009 that the
bucks have had a player
chosen to the first team
(running back Jacob rick-
man). before that, it was
running back adam Haw-
kins in 1995.
“To have one is good, to
have four is pretty special,”
davis said.
Patterson, who ran for
1,100 yards and 18 touch-
downs for the bucks, is one
of four finalists for the 5A
offensive player of the year.
also on the list are

Nathan Overholt, eagle

Page, and Thurston running
back Wesley Kommer.
The player and coaches
awards will be announced
monday, according to the
Oregonian.
earning

Ionescu gets 13th triple-double, sets NCAA record

took only 19 seconds for
Sabrina ionescu to show
she’s mortal after all.
Her missed free throw
snapped a streak of 22

the only flaw Thursday.
ionescu set an Ncaa

the career mark with for-

She broke the record with
her 10th rebound during the
fourth quarter.
Having the mark to her-
self came as a relief.
“It definitely is nice,”
ionescu said. “Walking
around i always hear people
tell me, ‘Oh, you needed a
few more rebounds to break
the record,’ and i feel like i
don’t really focus on it too
much, but hearing it all the
time definitely starts to get
to you.
“i’m happy it’s behind
me now and i can just focus
on what i can do in order for
us to win.”
