10 The Sun, 'Wednesday, January 5, 2011
By Herb Swett
Correspondent, The Sun
What looked like a rout for
the Willamina boys on Dec. 28
at Scio turned out to be a win
but a squeaker, 57-55.
The Bulldogs' recent shoot-
ing practice paid offfor the first
three quarters, but in the fourth,
Scio tied the score more than
once. Willamina coach Josh
Manley said the officiating
worked against the Bulldogs,
but he stopped short of saying
that was the only reason his
players lost their offensive mo-
mentttm.
Both teams played aggres-
sively in the first quarter and
controlled the ball well, but
Willamma easily outshot the
Loggers. The period ended with
the Bulldogs ahead 12-5.
In the second quarter, Wil-
lamina exploded for 29 points,
including three three-point
shots by Brady Bruckner. His
third tray came just as the
buzzer sounded. Scio's shoot-
ing also picked up, with the
Loggers adding 17 points. At
halftime, the score was 41-22.
The teams differed greatly
in the distributions of their
points through the game. Scio's
Darian Reger led all scorers
with 27 points, with no team-
mate getting more than nine.
The Bulldogs had a three-way
tie for point leadership;
Bruckner, Kenna Cumberland
and Nic Goodman scored 11
each.
Willamina widened its lead
to 48-22 in the third quarter
before a layup by Hunter Reger
gave Scio its first two points of
the second half, with the period
almost half over. Then the Bull-
dogs had trouble finding the
basket while the Loggers got
hot. They outscored Willamina
12-10 in the third.
The fourth was the quarter
when the Bulldogs almost
threw the game away. Scio
dominated the scoring through+
out the period while Willamina
took many shots but seldom
found the basket. There was a
rapid succession of steals late
in the quarter, but it ended with
Scio controlling the ball. It was
in the fourth that Manley
thought the men in striped shirts
failed to call a technical foul on
a Logger who the coach said
did the same thing for which a

Sheridan's varsity girls' bas-
ketball team rolled to a 5-5 pre-
season record in December, and
ended on a high note, a two-
game winning streak and a con-
solation championship at the
Salem Academy tournament.
The Lady Spartans lost 54-
38 to Valley Catholic in the
opening game of the three-day
tournament on Dec. 28, but ral-
lied to beat Western Mennonite
54- 36 on Dec. 29 and triumphed
over the Cascade Christian
Challengers on Thursday 46-41.
Senior guard Hanna Ellis
continued to pace her team of-
fensively, but for the first time
this season she wasn't the high
scorer--the first two times, ac-
tually.

Sheridan's Nile Court pro-
gram is hosting several
fundraising events to raise
money to take Sheridan youth
(7th grade through 12th grade)
to Mount Hood to ski and
snowboard during the months
of February, March and April.
"We need to raise $7,100,"
said Nile Court coordinator
Kathie Byers. "We plan to raise
funds through cookie sales, can
and bottle drive, garage sale, car
wash, half-time competitions at
the home basketball games and
Bingo night (just to name a
few)."
Nearly 50 youth have signed
up to go on the snow trips.
Byers said they are raising
funds so the cost will only be
$25 per person, per trip.
''We want the trip to be af-
fordable to anyone," Byers
said.
The first major fundraising
event will be this Saturday, Jan.
8. The group is collecting cans
and bottles (including water
bottles) in the Sheridan and
McMinnville areas and also
washing cars.
Tentative trips to Mt. Hood
Ski Bowl are planned for Feb.
19, March 5, March 11 (no-
school day), March 19 and
April 2.
