In a matter of about two
minutes, though, Love and
the Outlaws restored order.
She hit two free throws at
the 5:13 mark to push the
lead to eight, then buried a
3-pointer — her second of
the game — to make it 37-26
with 4:17 to go. Maci Marr
followed with a fi eld goal
10 seconds later, and Love
collected a steal, scored and
fi nished a 3-point play to
make it 42-26 with 3:47 to
play and end any TigerScot
upset hopes.
Love’s big night came
in spite of a bad case of
shin splints, and was much
needed for the Outlaws. As
a team, they shot just 31%,
missed 14 free throws, and
missed their fi rst 15 3-point-
ers until Love connected for
a 28-18 lead with 2:05 in
the third — one in which
she scored all seven Enter-
prise points. The Outlaws
also had 28 turnovers.
But the team also was
stout defensively, holding a
team to 30 or fewer for the
sixth time this season. The
TigerScots shot just 32%
and committed 41 turn-
overs, 32 the direct result of
Enterprise steals.
The teams battled to an
8-8 tie after one quarter, and
the score held there until a
3-point play by Madi Wigen
with 5 minutes to play in
the second sparked the key
run. Love got behind the
defense for a pair of layups,
Alex Rowley collected a
steal and drove to the basket
and Rilyn Kirkland scored
twice, with her layup at the
2:01 mark putting Enter-
prise ahead 21-8.
“She’s the one that’s
been running the fl oor for
us, getting out in front and
knocking down those lay-
ins, making the tough shot
at the rim — she did it a
lot,” Crawford said of Love.
“You get her down in that
go-hard-to-the-rim fi nish,
she fi nishes well.”
Kirkland scored again
late for a 23-10 lead at the
break.
Kirkland was the only
other Outlaw in dou-
ble fi gures, fi nishing with
10 points. Marr added six
points.
The Outlaws fi nished the
regular season with a record
of 14-9, and went 9-3 in
the Blue Mountain Confer-
ence to claim the third seed.
They’ll face Stanfi eld at
2:45 p.m. Feb. 18 in Pend-
leton in the district tour-
nament. The winner will
secure the league’s second
automatic bid to state, while
the loser will have to rely on
its OSAA ranking to grab an
at-large bid. Stanfi eld is cur-
rently ranked seventh, while
Enterprise is 12th.

Crawford wanted to wait
to speak on his retirement and
career until the conclusion of
the season, so the Chieftain
will follow up with more on
Crawford’s career in the com-
ing weeks.
He did say Feb. 12, though,
that it was emotional as the
fi nal seconds ticked away in
the Outlaws’ 50-30 win over
Weston-McEwen — his fi nal
regular-season home game.
“Kind of had to catch my
breath and grab a hold of
myself,” he said. “There’s a
lot of fi nality in it.”

Wallowa 30, Joseph
17: Wallowa slowed things
down and earned a win to
lock up second place in the
northern half of the Old
Oregon League.
Zoe Hermens scored
14 points, and Wallowa
avenged an earlier loss to
Joseph with a 30-17 road
victory over the Eagles on
Feb. 11.
The 47 combined points
made it the lowest-scoring
game either team played in
this season, and the teams

scorers in the opening half.
The Cougars pushed the
lead to double digits by the
end of the third at 23-9. Coo-
per Nave, who led Joseph
with nine points, hit a pair of
3s in the fourth quarter to try
and keep the Eagles close,
but Hermens matched her
with six in the fourth, and
Cougars went 5-for-7 from
the free-throw line in the
fi nal quarter to seal the win.
