tourney
Baker City Herald
Baker’s girls and boys basket-
ball teams will have ambitious
goals when they tip off the
2022-23 season next week.
Both teams welcome back
most of the key players from
last year’s squads, both of
which advanced to the Class
4A state tournament in March.
Jebron Jones returns for his
fifth season as boys coach.
Jason Ramos begins his sec-
ond season as girls coach.
The Baker girls, who fin-
ished with a 22-6 record (6-0
in the Greater Oregon League)
brought home the fourth-place
trophy, beating Cascade and
Marist Catholic in the consola-
tion bracket after losing to Cor-
bett in the quarterfinals.
The Bulldog boys (19-8
overall, 5-1 in league) lost to
Junction City and Philomath in
the state tournament at Coos
Bay.
Both teams will be busy
during December with non-
league schedules that include
multiple road trips.
The boys will open the sea-
son at the Wilsonville Invita-
tional tournament Dec. 2-4,
then travel to Meridian, Idaho,
for another tournament Dec.
15-17.
Both the boys and girls
teams will travel to Stayton
between Christmas and New
Year’s Day to compete in the
SCTC Holiday Classic from
Dec. 28-30.
Both teams will also play
games on three straight days,
Dec. 8-10.
The Bulldog girls will play
all three at home, starting with
Homedale on Dec. 8, then
against Estacada on Dec. 9 and
Molalla Dec. 10.
The Baker boys will travel to
Homedale on Dec. 8, then re-
turn to BHS for games against
Estacada on Dec. 9 and Molalla
on Dec. 10.
Estacada and Molalla are
completing a home-and-home
series with the Bulldogs, as
both Baker teams traveled west
last December to play those
two schools.
New-look Greater Oregon
League
The league remains at four
teams but with one change —
Mac-Hi drops out, replaced by
Pendleton.
That makes for a more
daunting league schedule for
the Bulldogs. The Baker girls
split two games with the Buck-
aroos last season, while the
Baker boys lost their one game
against Pendleton.
Baker opens the league
schedule by playing host to La
Grande on Jan. 11. The girls
game is set for 6 p.m., the boys
game to follow.

PORTLAND — Tristen
Newton scored 23 points,
leading No. 20 UConn to an
83-59 win over Oregon on
Thursday night, Nov. 24 at
the Phil Knight Legacy tour-
nament.
Jordan Hawkins scored 18
points, Adama Sanogo added
12 and Joey Calcaterra came
off the bench to score 11 for
the unbeaten Huskies (6-0).
“This is what I came
here for,” Newton said. “Big
games, big moments.”
Kel’el Ware led the Ducks
(2-3) with 18 points and
nine rebounds off the bench.
N’faly Dante contributed 15
points.
Oregon took an 8-5 lead
in the opening minutes, but
it was all Huskies after that.
Newton scored 21 points
in the first half on 5-for-6
shooting from 3-point range
as UConn to a 39-28 lead at
the break.
The Ducks were unable to
fight their way back into the
game in the second half and
UConn’s lead ballooned to as
many as 29 points.
“Just disappointed with the
way we got out tonight and
guarded,” Oregon head coach
Dana Altman said. “They got
a lot of energy from all those
threes they were hitting.”
UConn shot 47.6% from
the field (30 for 63) and
45.9% (17 for 37) from
3-point range. Newton, Haw-
kins, Sanogo and Calcaterra
accounted for 15 of UConn’s
17 3-pointers. Alex Karaban
added two more.
“We’re a very good 3-point
shooting team,” UConn head
coach Dan Hurley said. “Un-
like our past teams, it’s a
team that can go on runs be-
cause we’ve got multiple guys
that can hurt you from the
3-point line.
Oregon struggled to find
its rhythm, turning the ball
over 17 times and shooting
33.3% (5 for 15) from beyond
the arc.
a hell of an effort,” Beavers head
coach Wayne Tinkle said. “Ob-
viously, we’re very disappointed
we didn’t come out with a win.
This young group, we chal-
lenged them. We told them it
was going to be a fight and they
were willing to accept it and, I
thought, battled their tails off.”
Duke outrebounded Oregon
State 43-28 and forced 11 turn-
overs.
Oregon State’s shooting kept
them in it until the end. The
Beavers shot 40.5% from the
field and 30% from 3-point
range.
