25-4 Cougar Run trumps 10-0 Cub Comeback

 

Justin Lowder had 10 of his game high 26 points in the first quarter to get Cascade off to a fast start. Cascade built a 10 point lead with the first bucket after halftime, but went stone cold for 5 1/2 minutes.

 

Newport ran off 10 straight, but then went cold themselves for over two minutes. A 6-0 Cub run at the end of the third quarter put Newport up 45-42 heading to the final period. But Cascade shut out Newport for four minutes, and their man to man defense against the Cubs wore down Newport, who went only six players deep until the last two minutes of the game. By that time, Cascade was well on their way to a 69-51 win.

Jefferson loses state's top 5A player to Montrose Christian

 

Terrance Ross, the Class 5A boys’ basketball player of the year last season, has enrolled at Montrose Christian in Rockville, Maryland. Ross helped win the 5A State Championship for the Jefferson last season as a sophomore, scoring 8 points as the Democrats defeated Corvallis 55-52. But he won’t be around to help defend the title.

Marcine Ross, Terrance's mother, announced Tuesday that she agreed to send her son east because she was concerned that he was not thriving academically at Jefferson. "I didn't want him to fall behind," Marcine Ross said.

It may be the first and I hope its the last time I ever write that a fight broke out in a game between two international teams and it was a good thing. On Friday, Serbia's U19 team defeated arguably the top talented USA III team and  Saturday it looked like they'd ambush the USA II team to get to the championship game played Sunday against USA I when a third quarter melee sparked something called 'desire' in the USA team as they emerged victorious in easily the tournaments best and most exciting game thusfar. It's an all USA Final tonight at 8pm at Liberty High School and admission is FIVE DOLLARS. You can see all four games beginning at 2pm for FIVE DOLLARS.

The Perseid Meteor Shower is just starting up but the real shooting stars will be in the gym this weekend when the National Junior U19 Teams of Serbia, Canada, Lithuania, Puerto Rico and Senegal will battle along with 30 of the top United States high school players at the Nike Global Challenge this weekend at Liberty High School in Hillsboro. This is the 'best bang for a buck' I've seen in some time. Each session of 4 games is just FIVE DOLLARS!! Are you kidding me? The entertainment value is way better than any foot long. That also means you can tell your grandkids you went and watched John Wall and the game cost you just $1.25. Wall is the top rated high school point guard in the nation who has listed the Ducks among his favorite five schools. At 6'4, his amazing quickness to the rim is drawing comparisons to Chris Paul. Looking at the list of players, all you see is a sea of Kanas, Duke, UCLA and North Carolina offers and commits for these players. They were selected on their performance stemming from the Lebron James Skills Camp held earlier in the summer.

2A North Completes Sweep

The 2A North completed a sweep of the South with another dominating second half, taking a 34 point, 94-60 win Saturday at Clackamas Community College in Oregon City. The North led 40-33 at the half, and again outshot and outrebounded the South to pull away.

North Douglas' Dustin Andes led the way with 17 points, and Oakland's Andrew Young added 15 more for the North. North Douglas' Tyler Vancil also had a double double, with 13 rebounds and 11 points. Lakeview's Jordan Kiely led the South with 14 points.

3A South Tops Century Mark Again

The 3A South again controlled the game, cruising to a 101-83 win. A huge advantage at the free throw line, mostly in the second half, where the South converted 20 of 25 free throws, compared to 4 of 8 by the North, contributed heavily to the outcome.

The South was led by Bryce Doherty of Riverside and Jasem Dulaney of Creswell, both of whom had 19 points. Meanwhile, Friday's top scorer, Brody McGowan of Harrisburg, added a double double, with 18 points and a game high 13 rebounds.

Conrad Ritchie of Clatskanie led all scorers with 26 points, but unlike the more balanced South, the North's next highest point total was 12 by Colton's Nick Connor.

4A South Turns Tables on North

The 4A South got 28 points from David Berney of Marist to control the majority of the second game of the series, and gain a split. Tarrance Glynn of Molalla again led the South with top numbers of 22 points and 8 rebounds.

The South prevailed despite a sizable advantage at the line for the North, who hit 22 of 28 free throws, compared to 10 of 12 for the South. However, relatively cold shooting from the floor, especially in the first half, when the South outshot the North 61 % to 41%, saw the South steadily stretch the lead.

The South bench also had a big advantage, producing 57 points compared to 36 for the North. The North did make a 22-10 run at the end of the game, but the margin had become too large to overcome.

5A South Pulls Out Overtime Win

Tied at 94 at the end of 40 minutes, the South outscored the North 16-12 in overtime to complete a hard fought weekend sweep of the South. The highly competitive game saw 7 ties and 6 lead changes.

Thurston's Drew Wiley poured in 31 points for the South, outdistancing the 27 points the North's Anthony Golden of Madison managed. One of the key differentials was Wiley's 10 of 11 mark at the free throw line, compared to Golden's North leading 2 for 2.

In all, the South sank 30 of 39 from the line, compared to only 11 of 23 by the North. The North erased Friday's deficit on the boards, especially due to a 24-12 advantage on the offensive end, but it wasn't quite enough to overcome their free throw shooting shortcomings.

6A South Scores Split with North

The 6A South won a shootout over the North 105-99, overcoming a 50-49 halftime North lead, to achieve a split to close this year's OACA All-Star Series Saturday night. Twelve ties and nine lead changes highlighted a game that never saw more than a 9 point margin.

"North" players led the South in scoring, as North Salem's Scott Starkey led all scorers with 22 for the South, and North Medford's Danny Berger was the shooting star of the game, hiting 9 of 11 shots, including 3 of 4 from 3 point range, for 21 more points for the South. Meanwhile, McMinnville's Kyle Long led the "true" North with 21 points, while Barlow's Seiji Blume led everyone on the boards, with 9 for the North.

In the close game, a +6 advantage in steals by the South translated into a +9 advantage in points off turnovers, and the difference in the game.
