PERRYDALE GIRLS BASKETBALL Pirates’ season ends in Perrydale eliminated in first round of state playoffs second round of state By Lukas Eggen The Itemizer-Observer BLACHLY — Perrydale’s boys basketball season came to an end in the first round of the 1A state playoffs on Feb. 24. The Pirates lost to Triangle Lake 63-43. Haylen Janesof- sky and Brant Barnes each scored 13 points during the loss. “I have no doubt the kids played their hearts out,” Per- rydale coach Mike Lowry said. “It was just not our night. We got into a game that does not suit our s t y l e. We Janesofsky knew that we couldn’t get into a shootout, and that is what happened.” Triangle Lake lost to Yon- calla 73-45 in the second round. The Pirates finished the season with a 19-8 record overall and a 14-2 mark in Casco League play, becom- ing regular season co-cham- pions along the way. “It was a great season and I could not have asked for a better group of young men to spend the season with,” Lowry said. “This group of seniors have accomplished so much in their four years. They are the first group to win both football and basket- ball league championships.” WESTERN OREGON ROUNDUP Wolves enter conference tournament as No. 1 seed Itemizer-Observer staff report BILLINGS, Mont. — West- ern Oregon’s men’s basket- ball team ended the regular season with a pair of confer- ence wins. The Wolves de- feated Concordia 81-74 on Feb. 23 before beating Mon- tana State Billings 80-72 on Thursday. Devon Alexander scored a team-high 19 points, leading five WOU players who scored at least 10 points. The Wolves enter the Great Northwest Athletic Conference championships at Lacey, Wash., as the No. 1 seed. WOU will play the win- ner of Central Washington/Seattle Pacific Friday at 2:15 p.m. The winner advances to the conference title game Saturday at 5:30 p.m. Western Oregon and Cen- tral Washington split its sea- son series, with the home team winning each game. WOU defeated Seattle Pacif- ic 96-90 in overtime on Jan. 7 and 84-82 on Feb. 6. WOMEN’S BASKETBALL FALLS IN SEASON FINALE: Western Oregon’s women’s basketball team ended its 2015-16 season with a pair of home losses. The Wolves fell to Saint Martin’s 62-53 on Thurs- day and Seattle Paciic 55-40 on Saturday. “Despite the outcome, I thought we played hard and gave our seniors all we had,” WOU coach Holli Howard-Car- penter said. “The crowd was great, and it was nice to have so much support for our last game. There are several posi- tives we can take from this sea- son. We made improvements, a n d we s t aye d to g e t h e r through tough times. A season like this reveals a person’s true character, and I believe we have the right character within our program moving forward.” WOU inished the season with a 4-24 record overall. DOBSON, SULTESSA AND RIBICH SET SCHOOL MARKS: Three WOU track and ield run- ners set new school records at the Seattle Paciic Final Qualii- er on Saturday. Kaleb Dobson set a school record in the 60- meter hurdles (8.25 seconds in his qualifying heat), while David Ribich placed irst in the mile in 4:05.21.

WOU will com- pete at the Linield Icebreaker on Friday and the Willamette Opener on Saturday. By Lukas Eggen The Itemizer-Observer ADRIAN — Perrydale’s girls basketball team’s run in the state playoffs came to an end on Friday. The Pi- rates fell to Adrian 56-23 in the second round of the playoffs. “It was a seven-and-a- half hour trip,” coach Terry Newton said. “The score was a little deceiving. We actually played fairly well, we just could not hit any shots. It was a great envi- ronment and a great experi- ence. They were just better than us, it was as simple as that.” The Pi- r a t e s opened the week with a 37- 25 win o v e r South- w e s t McGill Christian on Feb. 23 in the first round. “We had great senior leadership,” Newton said. “Probably the biggest thing this season was the experi- ence for our younger play- ers. We had three freshmen playing 20 to 30 minutes a game. That’s invaluable for next year.” Perrydale ended the sea- son with an 18-10 record overall. The Pi- rates fin- ished sec- ond in the C a s c o Newton League. “I’m extremely proud,” Newton said. “The girls did a great job. We’re going to build this further. Our fu- ture is really bright. We have some good players coming up and our younger girls are only going to get better. Perrydale’s future is really bright for the next seven to eight years.” PHOTO COURTESY OF ARGUS OBSERVER/ Itemizer-Observer Perrydale’s girls basketball team lost to Adrian in the second round of the OSAA Class 1A state playoffs on Friday night.
