B3
Wallowa girls prevail at district tourney, head to state
By Ellen Morris Bishop
Wallowa County Chieftain
If the Wallowa High
School girls basketball team
needs a motto, they should
consider: “Never give up.”
Going into the District tour-
nament, they were ranked
number 21 in state division
1A, according to OSAA
rankings. The Cougars
entered the tournament as
the number three seed, and
after an impressive showing,
they head to the state tour-
nament. For their first-round
draw, the Wallowa girls
will head to Crane today,
Wednesday, Feb. 20.
In district play at Baker
City Thursday night, the
Wallowa girls dominated the
Imbler Panthers by a score
of 46 to 26. Wallowa built a
commanding lead in the first
quarter, and continued to
build on it during the game.
Steals by Bailey Hafer, shots
blocked by Grace Pendarvis,
and general hustle by the
whole team kept the momen-
tum going. Jamie Johnston
dropped in 18 points to lead
Cougar scoring.
The Cougar girls bowed
to top team Powder Valley
in Friday’s second round,
by a final score of 24 to 50.
During the first quarter, they
kept pace with the Badgers,
and shot 33 percent from the
field while holding Pow-
der Valley to a shooting per-
centage of 28 percent. Pow-
der Valley picked up the
pace in the second and third
quarter, at times putting
on a full-court press, and a
withering defense, and out-
scoring the Cougars 34 to
7. Cougar field goal shoot-
ing percentage dropped to
just under 20 percent. But
in the final quarter the Cou-
gar girls roared back, shoot-
ing 57 percent of their field
goals and half of their free
throws to outscore the Bad-
gers. But it wasn’t quite
enough. The formidable
Badger defense—and their
boisterous fans held John-

ston to only 9 points while
Shanna Rae Tillery dropped
in a total of just six.
The Cougars showed
their teeth on Saturday when
they took on Cove. In a fast-
paced game, Wallowa made
their steals, rebounds and
blocked shots count. They
took the lead from the tip-off
and outscored the Leopards
in each quarter. Once again,
Jamie Johnston was leading
scorer with 27, Shanna Rae
Tillery sank 12 points.
This victory gave Wal-
lowa third place ranking
in the district. Now, as the
State 1A playoffs begin, the
21st-ranked Cougars take
their district winning streak
to play 3rd-ranked Crane at
5 p.m. Wednesday Feb. 20.
