Written by Allan Classen Thursday, 15 March 2012 07:43 Hits: 2344 Jesuit rolled to its fourth straight boys basketball crown, and by now, other teams might be wondering, “Will we ever get another chance?”
After Kyle Wiltjer led them to three titles, this was to be the “building year”—the season the Crusaders wouldn’t be up to their usual standard. After all, only two of the 11 regular players on the 2011 squad returned, and they were the fourth and sixth leading scorers—hardly the pillars one would expect to build a championship team around.
The Crusaders not only won again, they were on a par with their last three seasons. After 25-3, 26-2 and 26-2 seasons, they went 26-2. I’m not noticing much slippage there.
And it was again about the way they won. They were outstanding in the regular season, but not invincible. They lost by 12 to Central Catholic in January and eked out three two-point wins. At the state tournament, however, they put it in overdrive and left opponents gasping in their dust. David Douglas fell 54-45, North Medford lost 47-31 after scoring only two points in the first 13 minutes of the game, and Lake Oswego contended only briefly in the 52-42 final game. Crusaders Shut Down Lakers for Fourth Straight Title

PORTLAND - Jesuit made history with its fourth-straight 6A boys state boys team had ever won four straight championships at any classification level. All-Tournament guard Khyan Rayner led the Crusaders with 19 points, 4 rebounds, and 4 assists – sinking 3 of 4 three-pointers. Jesuit led by as many as 12 points in the third quarter, but Lake Oswego fought back, cutting the lead to one point with one-minute remaining in the quarter. Jesuit answered with two three-pointers in the final 40-seconds to regain momentum, then closed it out with an 8 to 2 run to open the fourth quarter. Central Beats Phoenix 49-47 On Omlid's Basket With 4 Seconds Left

And live it up he did, though it took all the way down to 4 seconds left, for the West Point bound Panther star to make the play, left, that delivered Central a 49-47 win, and their second OSAA 4A State Basketball title in 3 years.
"We said all year we were going to ride Tanner to a state Championship," McBeth said, "and the plan worked perfectly."
Omlid finished with a game high 27 points, and also a game high 11 rebounds, for a double double.
Seaside Squeaks By Sisters

Meanwhile, it took the usually high powered Outlaw offense almost half the opening quarter to score, on a John Erickson jumper, as Eli Harrison missed his first 2 shots.
Andrew Potter connected for the next 2 Seaside baskets. Soller sank 2 free throws to make it 10-7 Seaside almost 6 minutes into the first quarter.
Eventually, the Gulls' team effort paid off with a 42-39 win over high powered Sisters, and the third place trophy.
"We have 9 seniors on this team," coach Bill Westerholm explained. "We sat and talked a long time last night about how they wanted to end their careers."
"Last night (the semifinal loss to Central) was tough to come back from. We did some good things last night, but Central is a really good team. The guys dug down though. We take pride in our defense, and they came out and held a real good offensive team in Sisters under 40 points," Westerholm added. "This is a special group of guys."
Cubs Claim Brunch Bracket
Written by Andy Wooldridge (CCCougarfan) Saturday, 10 March 2012 11:31 Hits: 1035 Newport and North Valley demonstrated again why many thought both would be playing all three days at Gill Coliseum after lunch, instead of being in the brunch bunch, with another high scoring (by this tournament's standards), and highly competive Consolation contest.
The Cubs led most of the way, powered by the 44 point 1-2 punch of sophomore Yadie Dunmore, who finished with a game high 23 points, and Stuart Bartoldus, who shot 63% from the floor, and finished with a double double, 21 points and a game high 14 rebounds.
But the Knights made a 4th quarter rally, getting within a possession twice. It fell just short though, and Newport claimed the 68-66 win, and the 4th place trophy.
Phoenix Scorches Sisters
Written by Andy Wooldridge (CCCougarfan) Friday, 09 March 2012 22:36 Hits: 1878 Dungannon Destroys Outlaws, and the 4A Tournament Record Book
It was just a taste of things to come.
By the time Dungannon was done, the 4A tournament single game and 3-game tournament records (which only go back to redistricting in 2007) were torched, and the defending state champion Pirates were headed back to the championship game, after a 74-55 win over Sisters, the champions of the SkyEm Conference.
Dungannon, left, knocked down 12 of 19 shots, 63%, including 9 of 15 from 3 point range (60%), and also made all 10 of his free throws. His 43 points were a personal and Phoenix school record, and also broke the individual game record for the 4A Tournament.
Combined with his 19 point effort in the Pirates’ tournament opening win over North Bend, it gives him 62, which eclipsed the old record of 59 set by Tillamook’s Justin Hartford for 3 games in 2007, and shared by Dungannon in 2010, and Dungannon has another game left this year!
”We came in with intensity,” Dungannon said, “and we put it to them.”
Central Smothers Seaside
Written by Andy Wooldridge (CCCougarfan) Friday, 09 March 2012 17:39 Hits: 1863 Omlid And A Lot Of Defense Propel Panthers To Title Game
It was a perfect preview of what was to come, as Omlid' left, backed up his 33 point opening day performance with a 22 point, 13 rebound double double to lead top ranked Central to a 40-26 win over Seaside, and Saturday night’s OSAA 4A State Championship game.
“We’re going to try to ride Tanner all the way to the Championship,” Central coach Bob McBeth admitted. “We rode him real hard yesterday, and we knew he would need some help today, so our defense would have to step up.”
Omlid was [only] 53% from the field, after hitting 11 of 13 shots Thursday afternoon.
“He was cramping up all night,” McBeth added. “But he still came up with some big plays.”
Meanwhile, the Panther defense was able for much of the game to make the Gulls a perimeter team, and Seaside failed in that roll, missing all 13 of their 3 point attempts.
Newport and North Valley Negotiate Their Way To Consy Final

The Breakfast bracket consolation semi-finals often does NOT produce some of the best basketball of the week, between a less than 24 hour turnaround after a usually very bitter disappointment, and playing at an ungodly hour when one is lucky to be awake.
But not this time; both games produced high scoring, entertaining games that weren’t decided literally until the buzzer had buzzed.

Finals - Saturday March 10th 8:30 p.m. - Jesuit vs. Lake Oswego
PORTLAND – Jesuit will get a chance at a historic “Fourpeat” as the a fourth-straight 6A boys state championship. The Crusaders held the Scots to two first quarter points and used a 16-3 run over the first five minutes of the third quarter to lead 36-14. 5'10 junior Khyan Rayner rebounded from a poor shooting game to score a game-high 22 points, making all three of his three-point attempts and 9 of 15 overall. Every Jesuit starter got a steal in the opening half and they finished with 14 for the game. On the other side, every North Medford starter committed at least 2 turnovers in the opening half.
In a battle of Three Rivers League rivals with young rosters and nearly but this time flashed his monster athleticism with a couple big dunks – much to the delight of the Rose Garden crowd. In the second quarter, Hermanson followed a miss with two-handed authority and then with 2:20 left in the third, he drove right baseline and unleashed a ferocious two-hander to give the Lakers a 43-27 lead.

Welcome to OregonPrepSports.net's coverage of the 2011-12 Oregon High School Boys Basketball season!
"I said to myself at halftime 'I've got 16 more minutes in a Panther uniform, and I was going to live it up," Omlid explained.
Seaside started a not usually starting senior, Charles Hawes, and after Eddie Soller, left, scored within seconds to put the Gulls ahead, Charles Hawes, made the next basket, on a feed from Soller.
Tyler Dungannon got Phoenix started with a crossing runner, and Cavin Loper added a net only 3 pointer for a quick 5-1 lead in the first minute of the game.
The Panthers’ Tanner Omlid threw down a dunk seconds into the game. It was 2 minutes later when Junior King added a 3 pointer to make it 5-0 Central. The Gulls couldn’t figure out how to crack Central’s matchup zone defense, but an Omlid basket that opened the lead to 7-0 opened the door for the Panthers to spread the floor before the first quarter was even over.
