PENDLETON — La Grande swept the season series against the Bucks with a 55-34 Greater Oregon League win Friday, Feb. 2, at Warberg Court.

“We played a good first half, but we struggled to put together a sustained run,” Pendleton coach Tim Foster said. “We had several girls on the bench with foul trouble, and La Grande plays tough defense. You have to take advantage of your opportunities against them and we didn’t.”

The Tigers (14-8 overall, 4-1 GOL) had a slim 28-24 lead at the half, then went on a 27-10 scoring spree in the second half to pull away.

Melanie Boatman led the Bucks (10-10, 3-2) with 10 points, while Hailey Schmidt added eight.

“Melanie showed up pretty big for us early and carried us,” Foster said. “Lea (Wilson) had some great drives to the basket. Every time Hailey started to get a little rhythm, she got dinged for a foul or two and had to come out. Unfortunately, we couldn’t muster enough scoring to stay with them.”

Maezie Wilcox led La Grande with 15 points, while Kayle Collman added 13.

Enterprise 51, Heppner 44 (OT) 

ENTERPRISE — The Outlaws outscored the Mustangs 9-2 in overtime for a Blue Mountain Conference home win.

Enterprise (14-7 overall, 7-1 BMC) led 16-12 at the half, and 28-24 after the third quarter, but Halle Hisler carried Heppner in the fourth quarter, scoring 13 of her 16 points to tie the score at 42-42 and force overtime.

Alex Rowley scored seven of her 16 points in overtime to help the conference-leading Outlaws secure the win.

Healy Hisler also had 16 points for Heppner (16-6, 5-3), while Delaney Stefani added eight.

Union 45, Echo 44

UNION — In a matchup of the top two teams in the Old Oregon League, the Bobcats were one point better to hand the visiting Cougars their first league loss.

“We made some key errors at the end,” Echo coach Brandi Russell said. “Union got an early lead and we got into some foul trouble. The girls battled hard, but it wasn’t our night.”

Echo (15-5, overall, 7-1 OOL) got off to a slow start, but picked up the pace with a 26-13 run over the next two quarters to tie the score at 30 heading into the fourth.

Union (18-5, 8-1) outscored the Cougars 15-14 in the fourth to eke out the win.

Mayela De La Fuente led Echo with 23 points, while Kenzie Henrix added 12.

Kaelyn Shoemaker had 22 points for the Bobcats, who were a woeful 11 of 27 from the free-throw line.

Elgin 52, Pilot Rock 41

PILOT ROCK — The Rockets are still looking for their first Old Oregon League win after the visiting Huskies took an early lead and never looked back.

Carly McLaughlin scored eight of her 15 points in the first half as Elgin raced out to a 30-18 lead at the half.

Paedyn Bennett led the Rockets (4-14 overall, 0-6 OOL) with 14 points, while Paige Moffit added 11.

Lydia Hasbell and Sofie Adams each added eight points for the Huskies (8-10, 4-2).
