Fasthorse scored 14 second-half points to lead
the Northwest Warriors team from Warm Springs
to a 79-63 win over Chiloquin in the champion­
ship game o f the 14th annual Warm Springs Cou­
gars High School Tournament at the Warm
Springs Community Center.
Fasthorse, who used his big body as a force
inside, scored 24 in the championship game, while
guard A.J. Follette had 16, as the Warriors took
the lead in the first half and held Chiloquin at
bay.
The Yakama Players won the girls side o f the
tournament, beating the Lady Springers from
Warm Springs, 55-49. Andi Blodgett scored 16
points for Yakama in the title game.
In the boys game, Northwest used a 2-3 zone
defense exclusively to help shut down Chiloquin’s
inside game led by all-tournament selection Jer­
emy Yazzie and Shane Weiser. The Warriors also
effectively pushed the ball in transition up to
quick guards like Follette, who often was at the
receiving end o f long baseball passes from
Fasthorse or Jeremy Arnoux.
The Warriors trailed, 9-4, early in the game
but scored seven in a row to take a 13-9 lead and
never trailed again. Chiloquin continued to tag
along, trailing by three to five points before the
Warriors got a three-pointer from former Ma­
dras High standout Marcus Zacarias and a layup
by Follette, scoring on a give-and-go with
Fasthorse with less than a. second in the half and
led, 39-31, at the half.
Chiloquin would climb back and trail by three,
53-50, with just under 11 minutes left, but North­
west went on a 13-3 run to make it a 66-53 with
under six minutes left. This run would be deci­
sive, as Chiloquin only got as close as 12 points
down.
Zacarias finished with 13 for the Warriors, while
Galen Northrup, who played at Chemawa, scored
12, including 10 in the first half.
Weiser scored 20 points to lead Chiloquin, while
Yazzie had 19 and Evan Gallagher 12.
Brianna Stacona, who led Madras High in scor­
ing a second-straight season, scored 14 points in
the first half for the Lady Springer as part o f an
18-point effort, while Shonie Shimmel scored 20,
including four three-pointers.
Alexis Allen, who scored nine points in the
championship game for Yakama, was the girls
tournament MVP.
Shirelle Adams from the Lady Springers, who
plays with Stacona at Madras High, was named
Miss Hustie, and Shimmel received an award for
hitting the most three-pointers in the tournament.
Northrup received the award for most three-
pointers in the boys tournament.
All coaches received T-shirts for their dedica­
tion, commitment and leadership to the youth.
