rebuilding process.”
The Pioneers are rev-
eling in their success this
season. The girls who are
seniors had only won four
game games in the past
three years.
“It has been nice,”
Bryant said of the wins.
“I’m a realist, but I never
go into a game believ-
ing we are going to lose.
I always think I can come
up with a plan to make
us competitive.”
The Pioneers have six
seniors on their roster, but
it has been sophomores
Emma Leber and Darby
Rhoades who have been
leading the way.
Leber, a 6-foot-1 for-
ward, is averaging nine
points per game, while
Rhoades, a 5-6 guard, is
adding eight points a game.
“We have pieces, if we
put them all together we
can be competitive,” Bry-
ant said. “It’s a good start
to see where we want to
be. It’s a great time to be
here, and next year could
be even better.”

TAIN 74 — Garrett White
had a game-high 27 points
and six rebounds to lead
the Sasquatch past the Tim-
berwolves in NWAC East
action Monday at Spokane
Falls Community College.
BMCC (4-15, 0-6 East),
which has lost nine in a row,

could not make up the dif-

Wes Persinger led
BMCC with 16 points and
eight rebounds, while Dylan
Grogan (Stanfield) came off

Girls basketball
BAKER 66, MAC-HI
28 — The Pioneers ended
their Greater Oregon
League drought last week
against Ontario, but the
host Bulldogs did not allow
Mac-Hi to make it two wins
in a row.
“One of our starters was
gone, and we got into foul
trouble early,” Pioneers
coach Chris Bryant said.
“Baker is No. 2 in the state
for a reason. We had a hard
time not giving up the ball,
which led to layups at the
other end.”
Darby Rhoades led
Mac-Hi (8-9, 1-1 GOL) with
nine points, while Emma
Leber had seven. Sydney
Younger led Baker with 16
points.
The Pioneers will host
DeSales at 6 p.m. Wednes-
day in a nonleague game.
VALE 52, IRRIGON
35 — The Knights kept the
game close in the first half,
but a 15-5 run by the host
Vikings in the third quarter
was too much to overcome
in their Eastern Oregon
League game on Monday
afternoon.
“We pulled within seven
in the fourth quarter, but
that’s as close as we got,”
Irrigon coach Mike Royer
said.
JaLay Burns led the
Knights (6-8, 0-3 EOL) with
14 points and five steals,
while Princesa Chavez
added 11 points and Alyssa
Luna eight.
The Knights will host
Burns at 6 p.m. Friday.
NWAC women’s
basketball
SPOKANE (Washing-
ton) 70, BLUE MOUN-
TAIN 46 — The Timber-
wolves fell behind early
and could not catch the Sas-
quatch down the stretch in
an NWAC East loss Mon-
day at Spokane Falls Com-
munity College.
Jordan Fox had 13 points
and six steals, and Brooke
Wheeler 13 points and
six rebounds for BMCC
(2-15, 0-6 East), which
has dropped its past six
games. Alyia Munoz added
eight rebounds, and Katie
Skramstad four assists and
three steals.
Koyama Young had a
game-high 22 points, seven
rebounds and five assists for
Spokane.
second to Chiawana, which
rolled up a whopping 439
points.
The Riverhawks had 11
guys in the finals, and came
away with six titles.
“It was a great effort by
all the guys,” said River-
hawks coach Jack Ander-
son, whose team also won
the title last year. “I’m
proud of the guys, not only
the ones in the finals, but
the ones in the consolation
finals. Every win counted
today. This was a tough
tournament. We love com-
ing here. The community
is great, and there’s great
competition.”
The host Bulldogs had
five in the finals, and Trevor
Wagner (170) joined Cade-
nas atop of the winner’s
podium. Finishing second
were Adrian Delgado (120),
Daniel Faaeteete (182) and
Jon Lee (220).
“There were 11 teams
with a mix of state champi-
ons and team champions,”
Hermiston coach Kyle Lar-
son said. “We didn’t want to
throw an awesome tourna-
ment and not win anything.
When Trevor steps on the
mat, he wants to put on a
show and get people to their
feet. Sam and Jon make
each other better. You know
they will push each other to
be better. Same with Sean
(Stewart), who was fifth (at
220).”
Cadenas beat Lee 8-6
in the championship bout,
coming back from a 3-2
deficit in the second round.
Lee won the 220 title last
year.
“It’s the excitement, and
the adrenaline starts pump-
ing,” Cadenas said of going
into a match. “Everything
closes down and it’s a one-
on-one battle to the end. It’s
fun.”
Cadenas opened the
tournament with a 15-sec-
ond pin of Nick Lackey of
College Place, Washington,
and then pinned Othello’s
Josue Solorio in the quar-
terfinals in 5:03.
In the semis, Cadenas
beat Stewart 7-1 to advance
to the finals.
“I like seeing new faces,

like the Othello kid,” Cade-
nas said. “He was small,
and that was tough for me.
He was a good kid, and
pretty strong.”
Against Lee, Cadenas
got the initial takedown,
but Lee maneuvered an
escape, and was awarded a
point after two stalling calls
on Cadenas to make it 2-2
after the first round.
“That’s what they call,
but I’m backing up to set
up my shot,” said Cade-
nas, who finished fourth
last year. “I need to work on
that.”
Cadenas led 6-5 after
the second round, got a key
takedown with 49 seconds
left in the third round, and
then held on for the win.
Wagner, who said he
wasn’t feeling well at the
start of the day, pinned
all four of his opponents
to improve to 19-5 on the
season.
In the the title match,
he pinned Liddell Giles of
Othello in 1:22.
“I didn’t really feel
great, but I battled through
it,” Wagner said. “I didn’t
know who that kid (Giles)
was, but I treat every kid
the same. We got to see a
lot of kids we do see, and
some from Idaho we don’t.
It was good to be at home
and sleep in our beds.”
Wagner’s quickest pin
on the day came in his first
match against Irrigon’s
Zachariah
Koekemoer,
which lasted just 42
seconds.
Faaeteete trailed 9-0 to
Chiawana’s Tyson Stover
in the finals before Stover
pinned him at 2:51 in the
second round. Stover (27-
2) also won the 182 title last
year.
Delgado, who won the
113-pound title a year ago,
suffered a 13-4 loss in the
finals to Nathan Gregory
of Deer Park, Washington,
who won the Class 1A 113-
pound state title last year.
Gregory improved to 22-3
with the win over Delgado.
Chiawana also got titles
from Davian Martinez
(113), Robby Vaughn (145),
Riley Cissne (160), Isaiah
Anderson (195) and Colby
Blasdel. Anderson and
Blasdel also won titles last
year.
Kamiakin’s
Joey
Chavez, who won the 152-
pound title, also was named
the tournament’s Outstand-
ing Wrestler.
Guillermo
Ramirez-
Diaz won the 126-pound
title for Kamiakin, giving
the Braves two champions.
Also for Hermiston,
Aiden Favorite (106) and
Hunter Dyer (126) were
third, Zayne Helfer (113)
was fourth, and Jordan
Franklin (145), Michael
Ramirez (170), Jesse Vassey
(195) and Jorge De La Torre
(285) were fifth.
For Irrigon, Jacob Ayala
(132) placed fifth, while
Roberto Ayala (182) was
sixth.
