ENTERPRISE – Consistency.

Maybe not in the line-up, but the Outlaws team is beginning to play well every night.

The Enterprise girls basketball team picked up a 50-45 win against Heppner Friday.

Outlaws head coach Mike Crawford said it’s been a patchwork job the last few games.

“We’re battling illness,” Crawford said. “But we have a different young player stepping up each night.”

Tonya Neil paced Enterprise with 12 points.

Sara Butterfield collected eight points.

The Outlaws improved to 11-7 overall and 5-4 in the Blue Mountain Conference.

Enterprise will host Stanfield at 4 p.m. today.

Huskies lose first half lead, game

STANFIELD – A defensive lapse in the second half spelled out a loss for Elgin Friday.

The Huskies jumped out the lead, but watched it slowly slip away during a 46-41 loss to Stanfield.

2A boys wraps

catch-up basketball.

well.”
