ERMISTON — Playing the
fi nal home game of their high
school career, Hermiston’s
Katelyn Heideman and Bailey
Young weren’t going to go down
without a fi ght.
With their season on the line,
Heideman scored 28 points, and
Young had a double-double with 14
points and 13 rebounds to lead the
Bulldogs to a 74-61 victory over
Peninsula on Tuesday, Feb. 22, in the
fi rst round of the 3A state basketball
tournament.
“It’s a little bitter sweet that it’s
over,” Heideman said. “It went by
really fast. I wouldn’t have it any
other way than to leave with a win.”
Hermiston (13-9) advances to
the Round of 16, where it will play
Everett at 2 p.m. Saturday at Everett
Community College.
“This time of year, every team is
playing for their playoff lives to stay
alive,” Hermiston coach Jay Ego said.
“The kids have bought in from the
beginning — hard work, team play
and good defense. It (Everett game)
will be a good game.”
Tuesday’s game was the first
Washington Interscholastic Activi-
ties Association state basketball play-
off game played in Oregon.
Hermiston got off to a hot start,
taking a 21-7 lead in the fi rst quar-
ter, with Heideman scoring 10 of her
points.
The Seahawks came to life in the
second quarter behind three 3-point-
ers from Kaylia Heidelberg, but the
Bulldogs were able to stay one step
ahead to take a 42-23 lead.
“I knew at some point they would

at Hermiston High School. The Bulldogs won 74-61.
get their points,” Heideman said. “We
just had to keep our composure and
we got the dub.”
Young had six of her points in
the third quarter, and Izzy Simmons
ended the third quarter with a deep
3-pointer to give Hermiston a 60-40
lead with one quarter to play.
The Seahawks outscored the
Bulldogs 21-14 in the fourth quarter,
going on a 14-2 run in the middle of
the quarter to pull within 69-57 with
2:07 to play.
Three players had four points
each in the scoring spree, while
Hermiston went scoreless for
3 minutes, 22 seconds.
A few sloppy passes and missed
layups by the Bulldogs allowed the
Seahawks to claw their way back into
the game.
Hermiston closed the door with a
basket by Lindsey Pasena-Littlesky,
and a 3-pointer from Heideman.
“None of us seniors are ready to go
home,” Young said. “This opportu-
nity with this group is amazing. None
of us want it to stop. I’m so excited.
I’m lucky to play with this group of
girls. This is as much fun as I have
had.”
Simmons fi nished with 10 points
and 11 rebounds, while Ellie Heide-
man added seven points, and Dri
Coleman played tough defense on
Peninsula point guard Grace Rich-
ardson.
“Dri was a menace,” Ego said.
“She takes pride in being menacing.”
Heidelberg had 27 points to lead
the Seahawks, who finished their
season 14-9.
Ego, in his fi rst season with the
Bulldogs, said he appreciated the
community support Tuesday night.
“We have great fans,” Ego said.
“It’s nice to be in a community that
supports their teams.”
