B2 SPORTS East Oregonian Friday, December 6, 2019 Pirates: Play White Salmon on Saturday Continued from Page B1 Yazeli Ayala put up two back-to-back shots in mid-quarter for a nine- point, 24-15 advantage. But Scheibner and Hearn chipped away at the defi cit for a 25-19 game with 1:11 remaining. Weston-McE- wen junior wing Bailey Munck scored with 24 sec- onds left, but the TigerScots could not overcome those fi nal three points to take the game back. “We took the ball inside,” Costello said. “Yazeli had some shots for us that really helped, and our defense was working really well. Hegar and Garcia did a good job in the middle. Nobody could shoot from the outside. It was a war zone down there.” Riverside (1-1) will host White Salmon on Saturday at 4 p.m. Weston-McEwen (0-1) will host Mac-Hi at 7 p.m. Friday.

Pendleton rolls to season-opening win in Baker EO Media Group BAKER CITY — Pend- leton’s torrid start gave the Bucks a lead it never relin- quished in a season-open- ing 75-63 win over Baker Wednesday night in a boys basketball game at Baker City. Pendleton dominated both outside and in the paint in rolling to a 26-13 lead after the fi rst quarter. Senior guard Stockton Hoffman scored twice in the opening minute, and junior guard Dakota Sams followed with a layin and a three-pointer in a 28-sec- ond sequence that pushed the Bucks’ lead to 9-2. “We started off hot,” Pendleton head coach Zach Dong said. “It looked good.” Senior post Tanner Sweek rebounded a miss and Baker coach Jebron Jones called a 30-second timeout with Pendleton leading 11-2 less than three minutes in. Senior guard Lane Maher dominated the lat- ter part of the quarter, scoring Pendleton’s fi nal 8 points — including a pair of three-pointers — as the Bucks were on pace to reach triple digits. Pendleton scored the fi rst 6 points of the second period to extend its lead to 32-13. The Bucks took their largest lead, at 43-20, on senior guard Jonathan Begay’s three-pointer. The Bucks led 43-22 at halftime. “We started off really good, but we came out fl at in the second half,” Dong said. “It was a rough third quarter.” Baker rallied in the third quarter behind junior point guard Gabe Gambleton. Gambleton scored 15 of Baker’s 20 points in the period, including the fi nal 12 as the Bull- dogs narrowed the gap to 53-42 entering the fourth quarter.a But Pendleton opened the period with a 6-2 run, and Baker never got closer than 10 points the rest of the way. Sams led the Bucks with 24 points. Hoffman added 16, Maher 11 and Sweek 10.

Cunningham said it was the must-see match of the night. “It was fun,” he said. “In the third, Ryan was dragging. They are both great athletes. After the match, he (Stay- rook) wanted to know when we would see them again.” Trailing 13-0, Southridge NBA STANDINGS EASTERN CONFERENCE Atlantic Boston Toronto Philadelphia Brooklyn New York W 15 15 15 11 4 L 5 6 7 10 18 Pct .750 .714 .682 .524 .182 GB — ½ 1 4½ 12 Southeast Miami Orlando Charlotte Washington Atlanta W 15 10 9 7 5 L 6 11 14 13 17 Pct .714 .476 .391 .350 .227 GB — 5 7 7½ 10½ Central Milwaukee Indiana Detroit Chicago Cleveland W 19 14 8 8 5 L 3 7 14 14 15 Pct .864 .667 .364 .364 .250 GB — 4½ 11 11 13 SATURDAY, DEC. 7 Boys basketball Hermiston at Sunnyside, 2:30 p.m. Central Linn at Heppner, 2:30 p.m. Pilot Rock at Joseph, 4:30 p.m. White Salmon at Riverside, 5:30 p.m. Gaston at Weston-McEwen, 5:30 p.m. Umatilla at Vernonia, 7 p.m. Echo at Lion’s Club Tournament (at Union) Ione/Arlington, Helix at Ione Basketball Bonanza Irrigon at La Pine Invitational Nixyaawii at Nixyaawii Invitational Stanfi eld at Sherman County Invitational Girls basketball Hermiston at Sunnyside, 12:45 p.m. Pendleton vs. Lebanon (at Ridgeview), 1 p.m. Pilot Rock at Joseph, 3 p.m. White Salmon at Riverside, 4 p.m. Gaston at Weston-McEwen, 4 p.m. Mac-Hi at Dayton-Waitsburg, 6 p.m. Echo at Lion’s Club Tournament (at Union) Ione/Arlington, Helix at Ione Baketball Bonanza Irrigon at La Pine Invitational Nixyaawii at Nixyaawii Invitational Stanfi eld at Sherman County Invitational Boys wrestling Hermiston at Oregon City, 8 a.m. Pendleton at Bob Mars Invitational (at Kennewick), 10 a.m. Girls wrestling Hermiston at Eastmont, 10 a.m. WESTERN CONFERENCE Southwest Dallas Houston San Antonio Memphis New Orleans W 15 14 8 6 6 L 6 7 14 15 16 Pct .714 .667 .364 .286 .273 GB — 1 7½ 9 9½ Northwest Denver Utah Minnesota Portland Oklahoma City W 14 12 10 9 8 L 5 10 10 13 12 Pct .737 .545 .500 .409 .400 GB — 3½ 4½ 6½ 6½ Pacifi c W L Pct L.A.
