Cody Fent’s route to
a title was shorter, as he
received a double-bye to the
semifi nals, where he pinned
Baker’s Ryan Brown in 3:11.
But then he ran into a
challenge.
Early in his champion-
ship match against River-
side’s Chris Kent, he found
himself on his back, fi ghting
off a potential pin.
But he caught a break, as
Kent was called for an illegal
hold. Cody Fent took advan-
tage, and later in the opening
round scored a reversal, then
put Kent on his back and fi n-
ished off the match with a
pin in just 1:25.

Libby Fisher had four as the

“Friday night, we played

do a little bit better than that.
We were behind for quite a
while and then got ahead and
got a good lead on them.”

six after halftime.
Prairie City 56, Enter-
prise 53, 2OT: The Enter-
prise girls dropped a wild
contest Friday, Dec. 3, for
their fi rst loss of the year, fall-
ing at Prairie City in double
overtime, 56-53, in a game
where the Outlaws saw fi ve
players foul out.
The teams played to a
39-39 tie through four quar-
ters, and were tied at 47 after
the fi rst extra session.
The diff erence in the sec-
ond overtime was the free-
throw line. Prairie City was
able to shoot 13 free throws,
and made seven, while the
Outlaws were 2-for-6. In
all, the Panthers shot 39 free
throws, making 22, while the
Outlaws were just 12-for-30
from the charity stripe.
Head coach Mike Craw-
ford said his team had oppor-
tunities to win in regulation
and in both overtimes, but the
team’s inexperience in close
situations hurt.
“We had a layup at the end
of regulation that would have
won the game,” he said. “We
had a six-point lead and the
ball in the fi rst overtime. We
just turned it over. ... I’m tak-
ing it as a we’re going to learn
from that, we’re going to go
forward and see how it is.”
The contest was back
and forth. Enterprise trailed
12-11 after the fi rst quar-
ter, but held the Panthers to
just fi ve second-quarter free
throws as they took a 22-17
lead at the half. Jada Gray
scored all nine of her points
in the fi rst half, and was the
leading scorer at the break.
Enterprise maintained a
29-26 lead after three quar-
ters, but Prairie City’s Betty
Ann Wilson had nine points
in the fourth, to help the Pan-
thers force overtime. She
added nine more points in the
extra sessions to fi nish with
30.
Alex Rowley fi nished
with 12 points — includ-
ing seven in the fourth quar-
ter — to lead Enterprise.
Maci Marr added 11 points,
including six in the fi rst over-
time period. She was also the
only Outlaws starter to not
foul out.
Crane 59, Joseph 19:
The season did not start well
for the Joseph girls basket-
ball team against the reigning
1A state champs, who rolled
in their own season opener
to their 45th straight victory,
59-19.
“Crane is a very good bas-
ketball team that you can tell
has played together,” Joseph
head coach Lance Homan
said. “Our girls played hard
and we worked on what
we needed to work on. We
were able to play a lot of
girls and we are just trying
to fi gure out where every-
one fi ts, what each player can
do, etc. Tough way to open
the season, but I think we
were able to keep this loss in
perspective.”
The Eagles were close
to Crane after one, trailing
just 8-3, before the Mus-
tangs broke the game open.
An 18-6 second quarter put
Crane ahead 26-9 at the half,
and the lead grew to 46-16
after three quarters.
Kortney Doman had 14
points to lead Crane in scor-
ing. Joseph was led by Emma
Orr, who scored six points,
and Cooper Nave, who added
fi ve points.

spective some of our weak-

mountable 34-7 by halftime,
limiting the Eagles to just

reached 36 by the end of the
third quarter.
Ty Taylor had 26 points
for the Mustangs to lead all
scorers, with 18 of those
coming in the fi rst half. He
single handedly outscored
Joseph during the fi rst three
quarters.
James Burney had 11
points — all after halftime
— to lead Joseph, and con-
nected on three 3-pointers.
Hayden Hite added seven
points.
Prairie City 63, Enter-
prise 45: Prairie City built
a double-digit fi rst-half lead
and never let up, outscor-
ing Enterprise in each quar-
ter on the way to a 63-45 win
Friday, Dec. 3.
Eli Wright, who led Prai-
rie City with 21 points,
scored all of those points in
the fi rst half as the Panthers
jumped out to a 31-16 lead at
the break.
Enterprise found an
off ensive rhythm in the sec-
ond half, but was unable to
make up ground despite net-
ting 20 points in the third.
The Outlaws were then held
to two fi eld goals in the fi nal
quarter.
Dylan Jennings was
Enterprise’s leading scorer,
fi nishing with 12 points.
Spencer and Jackson Decker
each fi nished with 10 points.

on Friday, Dec. 3, in the
Cougars’ home opener.
The young Cougars
were held to just one fi rst-
half fi eld goal — a basket
by Kellen Knifong — and
found themselves down at
the break 45-5. Wallowa got
into a rhythm in the second
half, including scoring 10
points in the third quarter.
The Redsides had four
players reach double fi gures,
with Remington Ander-

high 20 points.
