Thursday should be a fun one.” The Loggers shocked 4A Seaside in January, which was ranked No. 4 at the time, and the Loggers’ average margin of victory in league play was 33 points. But they really haven’t been chal- lenged since they played Seaside. “If you watch them, they are a good basketball team,” Rosenbalm said. “They have a little bit of everything. They have size down low, guards that can shoot it, they attack the basket and play good defense. Anything can happen on any given night, that’s why we play the game.” Ben Lonergan/East Oregonian, File The Hermiston bench cheers late in the fourth quarter Feb. 22, 2022, at Hermiston High School as the Bulldogs defeat the Peninsula Seahawks 74-61.
