Mapleton claimed 22 steals and scored 24 rebounds. Meanwhile, they dou- bled their shooting attempts with 59 looks that paid off in 46 points — and a 15-point victory margin. Five-foot-nine-freshman post Evangeli- na Spradling had 4 blocks and 6 boards for Mapleton, and went 6-for-13 from the foul line. Freshman Jahala Blake, a 5-foot-7 post, grabbed 4 steals to go with 3 rebounds that helped secure the Mountain West League win, 40-25. In the boys’ match-up, 6-foot-2 sopho- more forward JJ Neece posted 24 points, along with 9 points from 6-foot-3 freshman forward AJ Moso. Mapleton kept things close throughout the game until the final three minutes, when Neece, along with brother Nate, fould out — leaving just four Mapleton players on the hardwood to finish the game. Eddyville was able to slip ahead in the closing minutes for a slim 46-39 win. Thursday, the Lady Sailors were at home to host Triangle Lake, with the Lakers (4-4, 9-9) taking the win, 48-18.

But if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt.” Maybe the rest of the sporting world could learn something from this motto Once again, I use the movie “Remember the Titans” as an example of lessons we can learn from being athletes.

In the girls’ match-up, the No-7 ranked Spartans were caught off guard by Siuslaw, which took and maintained the lead from start to finish, including an 8-point lead to start the fourth quarter, 31-23. Marist (2-0, 10-5) rallied hard, scoring 17 points in the quarter. Despite that effort, Siu- slaw still held a 3-point, 40-37 advantage with 6 seconds remaining in regulation. Then, at the 3-second mark, the Spartans drained a 3-pointer to tie the game at 40-40 and send things into overtime. Marist managed to outscore Siuslaw 11-5 in OT, nudging out the Vikings for a 51-45 win. Sophomore Lindsey Long led Siuslaw with 16 points — 11 in clutch shooting from the foul line.

In the boys’ game, the Vikings kept things close throughout most of the first half, hold- ing Marist to just 17 points with just 5 minutes remaining before the break for a 17-17 tie. But the Spartans put together a 16-4 run heading into halftime to take a 33-21 lead. Siuslaw opened the third period with a long 3-pointer from senior Dylan Wynn to close the scoring gap to 9 points, but it was all Marist from there, with 14 Spartans eventual- ly scoring in the game for a 68-40 win. Senior Nick Swift and freshman Braydon Thornton led scoring for the Viks with 9 points apiece. Last night, Siuslaw was on the road at Marshfield (after press deadlines) to take on the Pirates.
