SPORTS Wednesday, June 19, 2019 East Oregonian Texas: Garton joins Weatherford fall ball in August Continued from Page A8 Garton said of the softball coaches. Once her education is complete, Garton said she plans to return to the Pend- leton area to teach. A complete package Garton brings a wealth of experience and talent to Weatherford. She was part of the Bucks 5A state championship team her junior year, and was a fi rst-team Intermountain Conference selection this season. She hit .459 with 39 hits, seven doubles, eight home runs and 32 RBIs. She also scored 31 runs and had 10 fi elding errors for the Bucks (17-10), who made a return trip to the state playoffs. Pendleton played in the tough IMC along with top- ranked Ridgeview and Hood River Valley. The Bucks earned the third seed to state, where they lost in the quarterfi nals to West Albany 9-3. “Our league was really tough with Ridgeview com- ing in,” Garton said. “West Albany caught us by sur- prise. It was sad. We wanted to go back (to the champi- onship game). Sometimes it isn’t your year. I’m glad we did what we did last year, it makes it not quite so bitter.” Garton reports to Weath- erford on Aug. 15 for fall ball, with winter condition- ing to follow. She’s not quite Staff photo by E.J. Harris, File sure where she falls in the Coyotes’ plans. “I have played every position, but they are look- ing for shortstops and sec- ond basemen,” Garton said. “I’m most comfortable in the middle infi eld.” Baseball: Pendleton heads to Baker City this weekend Continued from Page A8 Pendleton ended the game with 14 hits and only two errors. Meanwhile, the Cubs totaled seven mistakes. Fell, Tyler Browning, and Cooper Roberts each put up two runs. “We had a ton of great at-bats and some good fi elding,” Sheley said. “From what I saw, Idaho is a pretty coachable team. They’re aggressive when it comes to base running.” The Cubs kept things closer in game two. They were the fi rst to score when Sonny Altami- rano drove a run in on a double in the top of the fi rst. Sheley evened things out one inning later with another double that sent Colton Henderson home. Pendleton stayed locked in a 1-1 tie with the 16U Idaho team for the follow- ing two innings. “They come from a lot of different high schools in the Boise area,” Zander said. “They like to play up.” Sheley led off the top of the fi fth with his third and fi nal double. Browning drove him in two at-bats later, and scored on Kyle Field’s sacrifi ce fl y to cen- ter fi eld to cap off the three- run inning. It was enough to keep Pendleton in control for good. “It’s a team we should beat every time we play them,” Zander said. “I’m glad we did. It’s always nice when the kids do what they should. There are no extra kudos here.” Henderson benched four Idaho batters over the fi rst fi ve innings of game two, allowing just one run. She- ley threw two innings of relief, and tallied two more strikeouts. He also went 2-for-3, scoring a run and an RBI. Starting on Friday, Hodgen Distributing (6-6-1) is on the road to Baker City for a weekend- long tournament. NBA: Pelicans primed to draft Zion Continued from Page A8 Pendleton’s Aspen Garton makes a backhanded grab of a ground ball in a 4-3 win over Mac-Hi in April. Garton will con- tinue her softball career at Weatherford College in Texas. A9 The trade — which also sent a total of three fi rst- round picks to the Peli- cans — won’t become offi - cial until after the new NBA league year begins July 6. But when the Lak- ers pick fourth overall, they will effectively select for the Pelicans and eventually will send that player to New Orleans — unless that pick is moved in a subsequent trade on behalf of the Pelicans by draft night. And while decid- ing whether to select Wil- liamson isn’t bound to cause any mental anguish or sec- ond guesses, deciding who to pick fourth overall could be a much tougher call. Gentry noted that while most drafts have just a few elite prospects, there often are future stars mined from mid- to late-fi rst- round picks — never mind a second top-fi ve choice like New Orleans has acquired. “There is the high end, front end of the draft, but there’s going to be a guy that’s drafted 14 to 25 that’s going to be a game changer also,” Gentry said. “It’s hap- pened almost every year and that’s where Steve Nash and Kobe Bryant and Giannis (Antetokounmpo) and those guys were all drafted — in that area right there. So, somewhere along the line, there’s going to be some surprise guys that’ll step up that’s going to become really good basketball players.” A handful of prospects stand out as possible fourth overall picks, and the posi- tion they play could be a factor. The Davis trade brought New Orleans highly regarded small forward Brandon Ingram, point guard Lonzo Ball and shoot- ing guard Josh Hart. Ball and Ingram would be presumed starters alongside veteran guard Jrue Holiday and Wil- liamson at power forward. The only true center on the roster is Jahlil Okafor. For- ward Julius Randle also can play center, but is essentially a free agent with a player option to return for next sea- son. Christian Wood, a 6-10 forward who thrived in his short, late-season stint with the Pelicans, also could play center. Texas’ Jaxson Hayes (6-11, 220) is widely seen as the top center in the draft, but not necessarily a top-fi ve talent, so free agency might be the more practical route for the Pelicans to pursue an upgrade there. Three players widely pro- jected among picks Nos. 4-6 are Vanderbilt point guard Darius Garland (6-2, 175), Texas Tech shooting guard Jarrett Culver (6-7, 194), and Virginia wing player De’An- dre Hunter (6-7, 225). While none of them would be expected to start immediately, each could emerge as an increasingly prominent player in the rota- tion as the season wears on. And the ability to bring a reliable scorer, playmaker or defender off the bench could make all the difference if the Pelicans fi nd them- selves making a playoff push next March.

Kerr has 4 goals and Australia beats Jamaica 4-1 Associated Press Sam Kerr scored four goals, one shy of the World Cup record and the most by an Australian, in a 4-1 victory over Jamaica on Tuesday night at Grenoble, France, that advanced the Matildas into the knockout rounds Kerr tied American Alex Morgan for the tournament lead with fi ve goals. “I actually wanted more after that, being my selfi sh self,” Kerr said. Australia advanced to the round of 16 for the fourth consecutive tour- nament following three straight quarterfi nal elimi- nations. The Matildas fi n- ished second in Group C and will face Norway in Nice on Saturday on the fi rst day of the round of 16. Kerr scored on a header off Emily Gielnik’s cross in the 11th minute, dou- bled the lead with another header in the 42nd and completed the hat trick in the 69th. She scored again in the 83rd minute to give her 36 goals in 80 interna- tional appearances. Australia had stumbled at the start of the tourna- ment with a loss to Italy but rebounded with a come- from-behind victory over Brazil. Lisa De Vanna made her 150th international appear- ance, one shy of the Aus- tralian record set by Cheryl Salisbury. Jamaica got its fi rst World Cup goal when Havana Solaun scored in the 49th. The fi rst Caribbean nation to make the World Cup, Jamaica lost all three matches and was outscored 12-1. But the Reggae Girlz won hearts in France with their underdog story: Dis- banded more than a decade ago, the team was revived in 2014 by Bob Marley’s daughter Cedella. “It doesn’t matter what the score is, we just kept playing and believing,” Reggae Girlz coach Hue Menzies said.
