Had the Bulldogs not allowed
Sheridan to outscore them 21-6 in the
first quarter, Friday's rivalry hoops
game may have been a nail biter.
The Spartans outscored their visi-
tors in each of the quarters, but only
by a total of four after their hot first
quarter.
"We played several kids through-
out the game but the bottom line was
Willamina played better the second
half," said SHS coach Bob Bennett.
"They hit several shots over our de-
fense and caused several turnovers
with there pressure."
Sheridan's Tre Hale-Edmerson led
all scorers with 15. He had nine in the
first quarter, including a couple dunks.
Brandon Paholio also scored in double
digits for the Spartans.
Kenna Cumberland was the only
Bulldog to break the double-digit bar-
rier. He had 10. Josh Plemmons added
seven, including a three-pointer in the
first quarter, and Thomas Gallagher
scored six for Willamina.
The win improved no. 5-ranked
Sheridan's record to 8-3, 1-1 in the
West Valley League. Willamina was
4-8 after the loss, 0-2 in the WVL.
Spartan senior point guard Brock
Ingrain scored the first two points of
the game, but that was his last. He went
out with an injury after taking just three
shots.
The rivals will meet again on Jan.
28 at Willamina High School. Tip off
is scheduled at 7:30 p.m.

The BCS title game had more
drama than a daytime television
soap opera and more action than a
GtI. Joe figurine--but the Ducks
lost a nail biter to the Auburn Ti-
gers as time expired 22-19.
From the opening kick-off, the
sell-out crowd at Spirit Mountain
Casino was like a collective gaso-
line suit waiting for a spark. Most
in attendance wore "attire in the
Oregon colors of green and gold.
Some wore wigs, hats and painted
their faces in warrior-like masks
while others simply were ready to
cut loose at any positive sign to the
Ducks favor.
The game did not disappoint,
however. The #2 Oregon Ducks
stood up to the favored #1 Auburn
Tigers for about 58 minutes of the
60 minute contest until an unfortu-
nate non-tackle by the Duck defense
allowed a Tiger ball carrier to get

with just over two minutes remaining
in the contest.
One sttmned attendee in the crowd
summed up the feeling best. He said,
"I feel like we just fell from the top of
a mountain and into the valley."
The crowd left disappointed but
was well-behaved throughout the en-
tire evening as strangers became
• friends during the 4-hour battle in a
unified room of Duck believers.
Casino officials provided a free
food and soft drink court for all to en-
joy. A beer garden was also available
for a small price.
During the halftime intermission
casino personnel held raffle prize
drawings for various items such as
Duck shirts and hats. One lucky ticket
holder walked away with a season
ticket package to next year's Duck
games while another took home
$5,000 in cash.
Spirit Mountain officials dida won-
derful job putting on a display of fes-
tivity and fun for all and well worth

Willamina's boys outscored Dayton 24-8 in
the fourth quarter at home Monday, holding the
Pirates' victory to a 77-47 scOre.
After looking nearly paralyzed in the first
half, the Bulldogs played aggressively through-
out the second, getting one more point in the
last quarter than they did in the first three peri-
ods combined.
The Pirates led all the way, scoring the fn-st
14 points of the game. Hayden Craig, their 6-5
post, scored only six points for the game, but
they were Dayton's first six,
The first quarter, which included three-point
shots by Bemards and Coleman, ended with a
23-4 score.
Continued hot shooting and sharp passing
by Dayton, along with a wall of burgundy uni-
forms that kept Willamina away from the bas-
ket. At halftime, the score was 44-9.
The Bulldogs showed improvement in the
third quarter, at least on offense. A trey by Brady
Bmckner may have made his teammates realize
that they could find the bucket; Wdlamina scored
14 points for the period, but Dayton had 21.
Dayton phyed mostly its reserves in the fourth
quarter, but Wdlamina effectively played one re-
serve, Tyson Jahn. He scored only four points but
made two steals, one of which allowed Zimbrick to
keep cutting Dayton's edge with a hyin that made
the score 71-29. Soon afterward, Bruckner made
his second three-point shot, which was followed al-
most immediately by a trey from Plernmons.
"I was really proud of the kids' finish," Bulldog
coach Josh Manley said. He observed that it showed
the importance of playing close games to the end.
