Ste- fanie Archer had a double double with 10 points and 16 rebounds. Hailey Arbogast added six and Tyree Svetich had five. “This was a good league win. Cascade Locks is very aggressive and scrappy,” said Coach Mike Garrett. “We played very good team basketball and our defense continues to be our strength. We had 23 steals and converted many of those into easy buckets. Offensively we are continu ing to get some great looks and are being patient with the ball.” The C ards knew they were in for a dogfight when they traveled to Echo on Saturday after defeating Echo in a close one two weeks ago. The first half of the game was an offensive stalemate. The teams were tied 6-6 at the end of a low scoring first half.

Ste fanie Archer added 10 to go along with her 10 re bounds. Briana Peterson was the only other Cardinal to score in the game with two points. “This was another good win for us. Echo has some good athletes and a size advantage on us in the post,” said Coach Mike Gar rett. “Stefanie Archer got into foul trouble early in the first half and I thought Tori Heagy and Hailey Arbogast did a great job of controlling the key during the second quarter. We were having a poor night shooting from the floor and we needed our de fense to keep us in the game and all of the girls did a great job. Anytime you can hold your opponent scoreless during a quarter is a great accomplishment. We had back-to-back nights with 20 plus steals and that defen sive pressure has allowed us to have a 6 - 3 conference record.” 1/23/09 lone 13 8 18 8 47 CL 2 12 8 5 27 lone- Morter 14, Ar cher 10, Arbogast 6, Svetich 5, B Peterson 3, Camarillo 3, J Peterson 2, M Rietmann 2, Heagy 2.
