The state playoff run and the season for the LaCenter Wildcat's is over. Toledo HS was just too much for the Wildcat's who loss 57 - 41. Turnovers pleg LaCenter all tournament long, and it did again against the Indian's giving the ball away 33 times. Katrina Chamberlain scored 11 points and had 8 rebounds, Lauren Baker and Hannah Trigg scored 9 each.
Thursday LaCenter picks up a win at state and stays alive in the consolation bracket. Katrina Chamberlain scored 13, Lauren Baker and Hannah Trigg added 12 as the Wildcat's held off a late 4th quarter run by Columbia-Burbank to win 47 - 45. After building an 11 point lead in the 3rd quarter, LaCenter almost gave it back. They now move on to play Toledo at 12:30 pm Friday. Good luck ladies.
The LaCenter Wildcat's made it to Yakima, the location for this years 1A state tourney, but drew a tough 1st round game, against #1 ranked Freeman High School. On Wednesday Freeman showed why they are rank #1 with a 66 - 30 thumping of the Wildcat's. The first quarter was competitive but Freeman exploded in the 2nd scoring 26 points and never looked back. LaCenter was lead by Lauren Baker with 14 points and Hannah Trigg scoring 9. Freeman had a balance attack lead by Megan McIntyre with 15, Korina Baker 10, Carley Heinen 10 and Alyssa Maine had 9. Next for the LaCenter is Columbia-Burbank today at 12:30pm.

Playoff Action
Last night was my first look at Columbia River Chieftain's and I left impressed as they defeated Camas soundly 52 - 37 in the 3A district playoff game. Junior Brittany Landon was impressive with aggressive play, scoring 15 points and quarterbacking the team. But honestly, at least for last night's game, the whole team contributed, each in key areas and at key times. Taylor Parker 4, Laura Luther 5, Sarah Bobbe 4, Aimee Bolton 5, Brittany Heuett 6, Kassilin Cloyd 8, and Allie Holterman #12 scored 5 points, Congratulations to the Chieftain's now it's on to the championship game and the Prairie Falcon's tonight. For Camas, with Melissa Williams getting into early foul trouble, the Papermaker's never seem to get into their groove. Turning the ball over numerous times and missing some fairly easy shots early. Williams ended with 11 points. Next up for Camas is a Wednesday Bi-district game, good luck.
LaCenter never got themselves together after having point guard Lauren Baker get in foul trouble early, losing in their opening round 1A district playoff game to Onalaska 58 - 41. The Wildcat's will play Saturday night in a loser out game against familiar foe Castle Rock.
GSHL 2A
Final games in league play last night, and Hockinson ends with an "undefeated season" Congratulations girls. 10 an 0. Balance scoring last night as it has been all season, did the trick. Lejla Mlivic had 15 points, Daron Dean 12 points and 8 rebounds, and Amanda McCarty scored 12 also to lead the Hawk's past Woodland 68 - 36. Although the season is over for the Beaver's they have a young team and a bright future. Good luck to the Hawk's going into the playoffs.
Washougal has had problems all season getting off to slow starts. Well last night they got off to a quick start, and it might have surprise them, as they weren't able to maintain it in the 2nd quarter only scoring 4 points. But they played hard in defeat losing to R.A. Long 53 - 43. Junior Alicia McElroy scored 25 points in defeat. With a strong returning squad, next year should be a good one for the Panther's. The Lumberjill's move on into the playoff's in 3rd place. They were lead by Katie Gudgell with 17 points and Kelsey Craft with 12. They play next Friday. Good luck.
Ridgelfield capped a successful season with a victory over Mark Morris 66 - 50. The Spudder's are back to full strength now with Anna Pengra playing her best game since her injury scoring 16 points, Lauren Landerholm had 12, and Shelby Williams added 10. For the Monarch's they were lead by Taybra Teeters and Kelee Lambert with 10 points each. Now it's off to the playoff's starting next Friday. Good luck ladies.

Tuesday results; 2/17/09
GSHL 3A
One of the worries about playing in the playoffs is dealing with injuries and the illness bug. Union was struck with the bug. Starter and impact player Janae Davis sat on the sideline helpless with an injured knee as Columbia River defeated the Titan's 41 - 55. River got big help from junior Kassilin Cloyd coming of the bench, she scored 9 straight second quarter points and 22 for the game, Brittany Landon scored 10 and the Chieftain's are moving on. Megan Dire scored 22 for the Titan's but it wasn't enough. Union's season is over.
GSHL 4A
Mountain View appeared a step faster last night hanging on for a 44 - 38 victory over Battle Ground. Late free throws did the trick and push the Thunder to the win. Caitlynn Patterson lead the Thunder with 13 points and 11 rebounds. Mt. View was force to play with out Evie Everett home sick. Gabi Dixson scored 11 in limited second half play for the Tiger's.
Kelso closed out Evergreen's season with a 54 - 25 rout. Carly Perkins lead all scoring with 16 points as the Lassie's step out to a 33-4 first half lead. Kelso moves on to face Mountain View at Heritage HS. Thursday.
GSHL 2A
Ridgefield continued it's qwest to be the second seed team for the 2A tournament that starts next week. Woodland's chances are now very slim after a 41 - 56 defeat. Ridgefield started out slow down 15-9 in the first but bounce back in the 2nd quarter and lead the rest of the way. Shelby Williams lead all scores with 17, Nichole Kates added 11 and Anna Pengra had 10 for the Spudder's. Taylor McCullough scored 12 points, McKenzie Heberer tallied 10 points, 7 rebounds and 6 bolcks for the Beaver's.

Monday night's results 2/16/09
GSHL 2A
The Panther's Roared in the 4th quarter last night scoring 23 points and coming from behind to defeat the Monarch's at home 44 - 41. After only scoring 2 points in the first quarter the Panther's played Mark Morris pretty much even for the next 2 quarters, down 12 going into the 4th, then "BAMM". Alicia McElroy was on fire dropping 27 points for Washougal, 17 in the 4th quarter. This was a great win for the team and it shows there headed in the right direction. Taybra Teeters lead the Monarch's with 11 points.
Hockinson on senior night handled R.A. Long pretty much the same way they've handled the league this year. Jump out early, defensive pressure, wear you down late. The Hawk's lead 27-16 at half, and won the game 48 - 30. Daron Dean lead the scoring with 14 points, and 13 rebounds. With one game left the Hawk's are closing in on an undefeated league season.
Non-league action
Both Prairie and Oregon City wanted a tune up game to prepare themselves for their state playoffs. Well they got it. Oregon City polished their well oiled fast break and ran, and ran, and ran last night defeating the Falcon's 56 - 34. Scrappy defense which is usually Prairie's calling card, was put on them last night by the great athletes of Oregon City. Honestly they are about 11 players deep, they sub player's in and never lose a step. The Falcon's down two starters, sophomore Angela Gelhar to a season-ending knee injury, and Heather Corral suffered an ankle injury on Sunday probably would have made a little difference, but Oregon City was clearly the better team. For the Falcon's to a man know they learned a lot about themselves, what they need to prepare for heading into the playoffs. Although no player reach double figure scoring for the Falcon's Lindsey Levenan was clearly the leader on the floor for Prairie. For the Pioneer's Ashley Reed scored 13, Taylor Ward added 12, and Calli Jackson had 11. We wish them good luck over in Oregon's state tournament, but I don't think they need much luck, they are talented.

Great night in girl's hoops
GSHL 4A
There is something about having been there before that prepares you when you go there again. Skyview has battled for the GSHL 4A title for the past few years, and although they've come up short, they have obviously learn how to handle themselves. Those lessons paid dividends last night. The seniors for the Storm were clutch in the victory over Heritage in the "fight for first" last night. After a tight 1st quarter when both teams were feeling their way around, senior Kailee Oliver step it up, dominating the second quarter of which Skyview won 20-9. Heritage bounce back in the 3rd quarter but senior Shelby Mason was clutch along with Oliver down the stretch to squash the T-Wolve's attempt at a comeback. Oliver ended the game with 21 points, Nikki Bond added 10 and Skyview is now the "GSHL 4A Championship" 59 - 48. Chawncy McClenan and Justine Joudrey had 11 points each for Heritage and Amber Myers tossed in 10. Here's hoping the young T-Wolve's can pick up on those same lessons as the Storm.
In what use to be the area's biggest rivalry game Mountain View vs Evergreen, the Plainsman's recent run of hard times has made this a one way game the Thunder's way. Last night was no different, 51 - 16. The Thunder were lead by seniors Caitlynn Patterson with 15 points and Evie Everett scoring 12.
Kelso traveled down to Battle Ground on a roll after defeating Skyview Monday and stayed on that roll going into the playoffs. Carly Perkins scored 22 points and dominated the game. Fellow junior Caitlynn Jackson had 17 points and when this "one / two punch" is working, watch out, the Lassie's are tough. To much for the Tiger's last night as they fell 72 - 50. Sam Codi had 17 for the Tiger's.
GSHL 3A
In the most exciting game of the evening Camas squeezed by Union 55 - 54 forcing a 3 way tie for second place and a tie breaker set for Saturday at 2pm at Fort Vancouver. The game didn't start well for Union but they fought back like champions just coming up one point short. Camas after getting off to a comfortable lead early and holding on to it through 3 quarters, got gun shy late and almost gave the game back. Melissa Williams was incredible in the first half scoring 14 of her game high 22 points, grabbing 7 of her 13 rebounds, making steals, blocking shots and by the way never coming out of the game. She had 2 key blocks in the final seconds to clinch the game for the Papermaker's. In the 4th quarter it was the senior Megan Dire and junior Janae Davis show. Fighting, scraping and literally carrying the Titan's on their back, making it close. I'm not sure, but I believe the two of them scored all the second half points for the Titan's. Dire ended with 23 and Davis with 21.
"The Victory Tour" concluded last night, Prairie stopping Columbia River 56 - 32. Michelle Bolliger scored 14, Heather Corral 12 and Christine Sonners 10 for the Falcon's who are now tuning up for their playoff run. Good luck. The Chieftain's will now play in the 3 way tie breaker with Union and Camas Saturday. River's top scorer was Kassilin Cloyd with 10 points.
Fort Vancouver vs Hudson's Bay renewed and old rivalry last night and it was an entertaining game. Kelsey Frasier scored 19 points and Ramona Vercher had 11 to lead the Eagle's past the Trapper's 45 - 42. With the departure of a talented senior class and this years best player Shamarica Scott falling to injury, after winning the league championship last season Fort didn't pick up a league victory this year. Erika Virgen-Vazquez scored 11 points to lead Fort.
GSHL 2A
Hockinson's dominance of the league continued last night as they defeated Washougal 55 - 18. Lejla Mlivic scored 15 and Daron Dean had 12. There's still one more week of league games for the GSHL 2A but the champion is already determined. Congratulations Hawk's. Alicia McElroy scored 12 for Washougal and has shown true grit all season.
R.A. Long couldn't peel Ridgefield who was back to full strength last night 52-49. The Spudder's line up was fully stuffed with Anna Pengra coming back scoring 6 points, Lauren Landerholm had 12, Shelby Williams added 12, and Nichole Kates scored 10. Katie Gudgell lead the Lumberjill's as she has all season with 14 points.
Woodland couldn't overcome hot outside shooting from Kylie Farmer of Mark Morris and lost 54 - 49. Farmer had 20 points hitting on 6 deep 3 pointers. Emily Smith had 13 points and McKenzie Heberer scored 10 points, 10 rebounds and six blocked shots for the Beaver's in defeat.
Trico 1A
LaCenter won the Trico League 1A Championship with a 54 - 33 victory over Castle Rock. Hannah Trigg scored 19, Katrina Chamberlain 12 and Marissa Moore 11 for the Wildcat's.

Monday results; 2/9/09
GSHL 4A
Things got a little more interesting at the top, thanks to Kelso up setting Skyview last night 68 - 61. That sets up this Thursday's game between Heritage (8-1) and Skyview (8-1) as the game for 1st Place. Kelso control the game from start to finish. With Caitlynn Jackson in foul trouble for the Lassie's, senior night seem to inspire some of the seniors, Jessica Warthen had 9 points, Danielle Birch had the best game of her career with 20 points (five 3 pointers). Carly Perkins had her normal solid game 23 points and 7 rebounds, and Madeline Zbaeren added 10. Skyview seem to be struggling to get their shots to fall, they where lead by freshman sensation Nikki Bond with 23 points and Maddy Van Lieu added 10 points.
In the mean time, Heritage was handling Mountain View fairly easily 50 - 38. Playing inspired Chawncy McClenan had a huge game, 17 points, 11 rebounds, and great defense. Super sophomore Justine Joudrey tossed in 15 points and seemed in total control, Clara Russell added 8 points for the T-Wolve's. The Thunder was lead by Haley Holboke's 11 points, Evie Everett with 9 and Caitlynn Patterson scored 8.
With two games left, it looks like it could be another winless season for the Evergreen Plainsman as they got beat by Battle Ground last night, 74 - 43. Gabi Dixson dominate the inside for the Tiger's scoring 19 points and 12 rebounds, Kiley Thomas added 18 and Sam Codi with 12 points. Evergreen had no one in double figures but Amber Berry's 9, Kayley Weaver's 7, and Audrey Frazier's 6 were tops for the Plainsman.
GSHL 3A
Although the question of who'll take first in the GSHL 3A has long been decided, there's still a lot on the line. Going into Monday night's games Camas, Union and Columbia River all stood with a 5-3 record, with two games left. Camas and Columbia River both still have to face Prairie and Union and Camas will square off Thursday. So here we go. On Monday night both Union and River took care of business and Prairie did what they do to Camas.
"The Victory Tour" rolls on. They call it Prairie Pride, where losing a league game seems, well 'it's not gonna happen' not this year at least. With perhaps what may prove to be her "freshman break out game" Heather Corral scored 27 points (Ashley type numbers) in the Falcon's 82 - 45 victory over Camas. Lauren Goecke added 14, Christine Sonners & Lindsey Levanen scored 10 each. For the Papermaker's, Haley Smith and Emily Thomas scored 12 points and Amy Faulkner scored 10.
Union set them self up, to win their way into sole position of second place, with a victory over Fort Vancouver 55 - 28. After this 'up and down season' now with a victory over Camas Thursday at home, the Titan's can take home second place in the GSHL 3A. (Of course that's assuming Columbia River will lose to Prairie Thursday) Megan Dire scored 17, Janae Davis 11 and Kynnedy Mosley had 10 to lead Union.
Columbia River now has to either defeat Prairie, or cheer for Camas to beat Union Thursday to share a piece of 2nd place in the GSHL 3A. The Cheiftain's took care of their own business Monday defeating Hudson's Bay 60 - 31. Sarah Bobbe had 13 points and Brittany Heuett scored 10 to lead River.
GSHL 2A
Hockinson prove to be the best team in the 2A last night. Handing Ridgefield a solid defeat 47 - 39. Congratulations to the Hawk's "Champion's of the GSHL 2A". Daron Dean lead the way with 16 points, 15 rebounds, and probably should be the League MVP. Lejla Mlivic, Amanda McCarty, Jennifer Pickup and Michelle Haagen also deserve a mentioning here with the whole team doing a great job this season. For the Spudder's it was a tough night without the big inside you counted on this season Anna Pengra down with a back injury. Ridgelfield's Nichole Kates scored 16 points, Shelby Williams added 10 but it just wasn't enough.
O'yeah there was a game, Woodland defeated Washougal 61 - 36. Jessica Hughes (Mary Kates older sister and the only senior on the team) scored 15 points, Emily Smith had 12, McKenzie Heberer tossed in 8, and Mary Kate Hughes had 4 points, 3 rebounds, and 2 assist. Alicia McElroy hit for 16 points for the Panther's in defeat.
R.A. Long defeated Mark Morris in what in Longview is called the Civil War 43 - 25. Katie Gudgell lead the way for the Lumberjill's with 17 points.

Carly Perkins had her normal solid game 23 points and 7 rebounds, and Madeline Zbaeren added 10. Skyview seem to be struggling to get their shots to fall, they where lead by freshman sensation Nikki Bond with 23 points and Maddy Van Lieu added 10 points.
In the mean time, Heritage was handling Mountain View fairly easily 50 - 38. Playing inspired Chawncy McClenan had a huge game, 17 points, 11 rebounds, and great defense. Super sophomore Justine Joudrey tossed in 15 points and seemed in total control, Clara Russell added 8 points for the T-Wolve's. The Thunder was lead by Haley Holboke's 11 points, Evie Everett with 9 and Caitlynn Patterson scored 8.
With two games left, it looks like it could be another winless season for the Evergreen Plainsman as they got beat by Battle Ground last night, 74 - 43. Gabi Dixson dominate the inside for the Tiger's scoring 19 points and 12 rebounds, Kiley Thomas added 18 and Sam Codi with 12 points. Evergreen had no one in double figures but Amber Berry's 9, Kayley Weaver's 7, and Audrey Frazier's 6 were tops for the Plainsman.
GSHL 3A
Although the question of who'll take first in the GSHL 3A has long been decided, there's still a lot on the line. Going into Monday night's games Camas, Union and Columbia River all stood with a 5-3 record, with two games left. Camas and Columbia River both still have to face Prairie and Union and Camas will square off Thursday. So here we go. On Monday night both Union and River took care of business and Prairie did what they do to Camas.
"The Victory Tour" rolls on. They call it Prairie Pride, where losing a league game seems, well 'it's not gonna happen' not this year at least. With perhaps what may prove to be her "freshman break out game" Heather Corral scored 27 points (Ashley type numbers) in the Falcon's 82 - 45 victory over Camas. Lauren Goecke added 14, Christine Sonners & Lindsey Levanen scored 10 each. For the Papermaker's, Haley Smith and Emily Thomas scored 12 points and Amy Faulkner scored 10.
Union set them self up, to win their way into sole position of second place, with a victory over Fort Vancouver 55 - 28. After this 'up and down season' now with a victory over Camas Thursday at home, the Titan's can take home second place in the GSHL 3A. (Of course that's assuming Columbia River will lose to Prairie Thursday) Megan Dire scored 17, Janae Davis 11 and Kynnedy Mosley had 10 to lead Union.
Columbia River now has to either defeat Prairie, or cheer for Camas to beat Union Thursday to share a piece of 2nd place in the GSHL 3A. The Cheiftain's took care of their own business Monday defeating Hudson's Bay 60 - 31. Sarah Bobbe had 13 points and Brittany Heuett scored 10 to lead River.
GSHL 2A
Hockinson prove to be the best team in the 2A last night. Handing Ridgefield a solid defeat 47 - 39. Congratulations to the Hawk's "Champion's of the GSHL 2A". Daron Dean lead the way with 16 points, 15 rebounds, and probably should be the League MVP. Lejla Mlivic, Amanda McCarty, Jennifer Pickup and Michelle Haagen also deserve a mentioning here with the whole team doing a great job this season. For the Spudder's it was a tough night without the big inside you counted on this season Anna Pengra down with a back injury. Ridgelfield's Nichole Kates scored 16 points, Shelby Williams added 10 but it just wasn't enough.
O'yeah there was a game, Woodland defeated Washougal 61 - 36. Jessica Hughes (Mary Kates older sister and the only senior on the team) scored 15 points, Emily Smith had 12, McKenzie Heberer tossed in 8, and Mary Kate Hughes had 4 points, 3 rebounds, and 2 assist. Alicia McElroy hit for 16 points for the Panther's in defeat.
R.A. Long defeated Mark Morris in what in Longview is called the Civil War 43 - 25. Katie Gudgell lead the way for the Lumberjill's with 17 points.

GSHL 4A
It was a tough battle last night as Heritage faced off with Kelso. The T-wolve's exploded out of the box early up by as much as 20-10, lead by an outstanding first quarter for Clara Russell who scored 11 points for the game. Foul trouble, turnovers, and good defense by the Lassie's allowed them to creep back in and make a game of it, lead by my "player of the year" so far this season Carly Perkins with 14 points and 12 rebounds for the game. The best part of the game was to see two of the best guards in the league going at it. Caitlynn Jackson of Kelso and Justine Joudrey of Heritage. "Mono ah mono" in the 4th quarter, both doing what they could to help their team win. Heritage held on 42 - 41. It was very entertaining, and good basketball. Thanks girls.
Gabi Dixson lifted Battle Ground on those broad shoulders of hers and took the Tigers' to victory over Mountain View 51 - 48. Gabi hit three clutch free throws in the final seconds which made the difference. She ended the game with 11 points. Kiley Thomas scored 16 and Aubri Squires played great for the Tigers' with 8 points, 8 assists, and 8 rebounds. Mountain View's Caitlynn Patterson had 15 points and Evie Everett added 14 in defeat.
Skyview toppled Evergreen 71 - 25. Setting up a big rematch for next week against Heritage. Nikki Bond scored 15, Brooke Bowen had 14, Maddy Van Lieu added 10, and Kailee Oliver had her solid 11 points to pace the Storm.
GSHL 3A
"The Victory Tour" reached a milestone last night sewing up the 3A league title with a win over Fort Vancouver 66 - 13. Angela Gehlar scored 16 points and Lindsey Levenan had 10 for the Falcon's who can officially turn their attention to bigger fish. The State tournament. Not to say over look the rest of league play, but honestly it appears to be somewhat of a formality.
In what I would say a mild upset, Columbia River went into Camas last night and with a great 2nd half, came out a winner 51 - 42. The victory forces a 3 way tie for 2nd place in the GSHL 3A. Allie Holterman's 15 points and Taylor Parker with 14 lead the Cheiftain's. Melissa Williams had her best game of the year with 18 points, 15 rebounds, 6 block shots, and 4 steals but it wasn't enough for the Papermaker's in defeat.
Union got big games from Janae Davis and Megan Dire to post a 57 - 47 victory over Hudson's Bay. Janae had 22 and Megan 21 for the Titan's. Bay played probably their most impressive league game of the season in defeat. The Eagle's were lead by Ramona Vercher with 17, Kelsey Frasier with 12, and Brittney Davis with 11.
GSHL 2A
Ridgefield, still without Anna Pengra, continue their winning ways, defeating Washougal 55 - 33. Paced by Shelby Williams with 21 points, Nichole Kates tossing in 17, and Lauren Landerholm with 13 the wins keep piling up for the Spudder's, leading towards the big show down next week against Hockinson.
Woodland got a measure of revenge last night sticking it to R.A. Long 65 - 47. The Lumberjill's defeated the Beaver's earlier this season. Emily Smith with 23 points and Jessica Hughes with 20 had big games and Kaitlyn Moses added 10 for the Beaver's. Mary Kate Hughes played but didn't score. (great job coach) R.A. Long's leading scorer was Katie Gudgel with 15 points.
Hockinson really took it to Mark Morris, especially in the 3rd quarter scoring 27 points, and defeated the Monarchs 65 - 33. Lejla Mlivic's 16 points lead a balance attack for the Hawk's who saw 10 players score. Morris was lead by Taybra Teeters with 12 points.
Trico 1A
BIG NEWS... 1st place Ilwaco was upset and lost to Castle Rock. With LaCenter's victory over Stevenson 64 - 39 the Wildcat's are tied at the top (7-1) with the rematch looming large. Lauren Baker had 23 and Marissa Moore 17 in the victory. Next week will be huge.

LaCenter's Big Three, well maybe not the big three, but their best three did it again last night. It seems as if when Lauren Baker, Hannah Trigg, and Marissa Moore are healthy and on their games, the Wildcat's are hard to beat. Currently in second place and awaiting an opportunity to face Ilwaco for the battle for first in league, LaCenter pick up another league victory last night against White Salmon 56 - 46. Moore scoring 17, Trigg adding 16 and Baker scored 15 for the Wildcat's. Staying focus through the final stretch of games until the rematch is the key for LaCenter.

GSHL 4A
The Heritage T-wolve's continue their roll down the home stretch and a possible match up with Skyview for the league championship in the GSHL 4A. Amber Meyers and T.T. Martin carried Heritage to an easy victory of Evergreen 51 - 27. Martin had 13 points and several nice assist, Meyers added 11 points and some big rebounds. Things continue to just not fit right for the Plainsman, who haven't won a game in 2 years.
Skyview stayed undefeated and continue to hold on to first place in the GSHL 4A with a victory over Battle Ground 66 - 29. This Storm seems to be building momentum at the right time. Nine players contributed last night lead by Brooke Bowen with 18 points, Kailee Oliver and Katie Swanson scored 10 each. This game was over early as the Tiger's saw Skyview jump out to an early 26-6 lead in the first quarter and never look back.
Kelso junior Carly Perkins is showing why she's the leading candidate for all everything in SW Washington, last night leading the Lassie's to a 51 - 44 win over Mountain View. At 6-1 Carly's strong, athletic, skilled and hungry. She had 21 points last night, 13 rebounds, 5 block shots and just dominated the game. Caitlynn Jackson scored 10 points for Kelso and when these two juniors are clicking, Kelso is hard to beat. Evie Everett scored 11 for the Thunder in defeat.
GSHL 3A
Surprise, surprise. Columbia River upset Union at home last night, 69 - 43. The River ran 'red' as the Chieftain's were hot, shooting 22 of 48.

"The Victory Tour" played at Hudson's Bay last night, and again didn't let anyone down. Prairie is just rolling alone. The Falcon's defeated the Eagle's 67 - 25. It has to be tough for coach Aldrige to keep coming up with motivational stuff to keep his players focus. But he keeps pulling rabbits out of his hat. Kristen Munson and Alexis Prestwich played the staring role tonight with 11 points each. Kelsey Frasier had 12 for Bay.
GSHL 2A
Hockinson continued it's winning ways last night defeating R.A. Long 46 - 30. It was virtually a two man show, Amanda McCarty and Daron Dean doing most of the damage. McCarty had 18 points and Dean 16 to lead the Hawk's. Katie Gudgell lead the Lumberjill's with 16 points in defeat.

GSHL 2A
It's so important to learn to close the deal. Finish a team when you've got them down. Lessons that must be learn in order to be successful over a full season. Washougal had a 14-12 lead at half time and was playing well. Then R.A. Long turned it up in the second half and the Panther's didn't go with them. The Lumberjill's scored 29 points in the second half, 20 in the 4th quarter to defeat Washougal 41 - 26. Katie Gudgell lead the attack from R.A. Long with 12 points and Kelsey Craft added 10.

A low scoring affair, only one player hit double figures, Angelica Kent with 10 points for the Monarch's. Ridgefield's Lauren Landerholm, Nichole Kates, and Shelby Williams did just enough to win.

LaCenter is attempting to re-establish itself after a tough week, which included illness and injury to key players last week. Bouncing back this week with two very nice wins defeating Kalama last night 78 - 42. Now the Wildcat's are soundly in second place and eagerly awaiting a rematch with first place Ilwaco with a full squad. There was some grumbling last night from the coach of Kalama, after the game complaining about LaCenter pressing with a 40 point lead. The rematch, next month, may get interesting. Hannah Trigg had 24 points last night, Lauren Baker 22, and Marissa Moore added 21.
GHSL 2A
Woodland's choke hold on 2A titles in this area (winning 11 out of the last 12) was all but snatch away last night by Hockinson. The Hawk's left no doubt who was the better team in the 2A this year, last night dominating the Beaver's with a swarming defense that lead to several easy buckets. I said it early, I'll say it again. Hockinson is the team to beat in the 2A, they are now 4-0 in league. Daron Dean had 18 and Lejla Mlivic scored 11 for the Hawk's, while the Beaver's were lead by Emily Smith with 11 points. Mary Kate Hughes suited up with the varsity, played, but didn't score for Woodland.
GSHL 3A
The special guest at the Prairie "Victory Tour" last night were the Union Titan's.

Heritage rebounded after a tough lost Monday to defeat Battle Ground 53 - 49. Although the Tiger's minus Gabi Dixson did make a late run to close the game to within 4 points. The T-wolves seem to be having a problem closing the deal. Remember they had a 16 point lead against Skyview just Monday only to lose the game in the last minute. Justine Joudrey lead all scores with 14 points and Clara Russell had 13 to lead the T-wolves, Sam Codi had 11 and Haley Grossman's 10 pace the Tiger's.
Kelso smacked Evergreen last night 72 - 27. Every player for the Lassie's scored last night, lead by Cassy Teig with 12 points, Caitlynn Jackson with 11 points & 6 assist and Makenzie Martin who scored 10. The Plainsman are having another tough season but looking better.

Only one game in the 4A tonight. The rivalry game, Evergreen vs. Mountain View "1". And lead by a 19 point performance from Caitlynn Patterson the Thunder take game "1", 48 - 41. Evergreen did not go quietly into the dark though. After a lack luster first half, 16-7, both teams woke up in the 2nd half, and made it interesting. The Plainsman scoring there biggest output in any quarter of the year, in the 4th quarter scroing 20 points, they just couldn't get the defensive stops they needed to close the gap. Mt. View did just enough to survive. Amber Berry's 14 points and Audrey Fraizer's 10 lead Evergreen.
GSHL 3A
Camas vs. Union is turning into a fairly big rivalry itself, and what a game. Tied at 26 at the half, both teams came out in the 3rd quarter red hot. First Union with a 9-0 run, then Camas with a 8-0 run. Both teams scored 22 points in the 3rd quarter to really heat up this contest. Things stayed just as hot in the 4th as Union held on to win 69 - 66. Megan Dire had 19 points, including 10 free throws in the 4th quarter, Brittany Blumenthal added 15, Kynnedy Mosley had 14, and Janae Davis got up off her sick bed to add 12 for the Titan's. Melissa Williams hit a career high with 23 points in defeat for the Papermaker's.
Camas did a fund raiser for the fight against breast cancer. The girl's wore pink uniforms last night and raised over $4,000.00. Congratulations Papermaker's you are the real winners.
Hudon's Bay and Fort Vancouver, a pretty good little rivalry in itself, played into overtime with a 3 point desperation shot by Katie Endresen ending regulation in a tie. But in OT it was all Bay, lead by Kelsey Frasier's 8 points in OT, 18 on the night the Eagle's win 56 - 49. Ramona Vercher scored 10 for Bay, and Erika Virgen-Vazques had 19 points to lead the Trapper's.
The Temptations were my favorite group growing up in LA in the late 60's early 70's, and there was a song out called "Ball of Confusion", and Melvin with his deep voice would sing the hook in the song, saying "And the Band Played On". That's the hook for the Prairie Falcon's. "The Band Plays On". I'm affectionately calling it the "Victory Tour", either way in the 3A the Falcon's are rolling and they didn't miss a beat last night defeating Columbia River 62 - 22. Angela Gelhar and Christine Sonners had 12 points each, and Lindsey Levenan scored 10 to lead Prairie.
GHSL 2A
Washougal continues to knock on the door of victory but not be able to walk through it. Mark Morris held on to a 39 - 37 victory in Long View, winning on a last minute 3 pointer. Kelee Lambert had 10 points to lead the Monarchs, and Alicia McElroy went for 18 for the Panther's in defeat.
Farrine Scott had 22 points, Nichole Kates added 12 for the red hot Ridgefield Spudder's to defeat the Woodland Beaver's last night 58 - 49. The Beaver's Emily Smith had 16 points, Jessica Hughes and McKenzie Heberer had 10 apiece with Heberer adding 9 blocks and Hughes adding 7 assist.

LaCenter got back on track, getting some of there regulars back, defeating Castle Rock 51 - 35. Lauren Baker had 16 points and played a great all around game, Marissa Moore had 14 and Hannah Trigg added 11.
Only one game in the 4A tonight. The rivalry game, Evergreen vs. Mountain View "1". And lead by a 19 point performance from Caitlynn Patterson the Thunder take game "1", 48 - 41. Evergreen did not go quietly into the dark though. After a lack luster first half, 16-7, both teams woke up in the 2nd half, and made it interesting. The Plainsman scoring there biggest output in any quarter of the year, in the 4th quarter scroing 20 points, they just couldn't get the defensive stops they needed to close the gap. Mt. View did just enough to survive. Amber Berry's 14 points and Audrey Fraizer's 10 lead Evergreen.

Monday results; 1/26/09
The Skyview Storm are in first place in the GSHL 4A, mid-way through the season.
You know, high school sports is so entertaining. Watching these young ladies play, feeling the pressure, making mistakes, and making big plays, it is great. I really enjoyed myself last night watching Skyview and Heritage go at it. Thank you ladies. All of you should get out and see a game sometime. Not just yours or your kids team. It's really entertaining.
For the first 31 minutes of the game, Heritage had the lead. In fact for the first 3 quarters of the game, it was clear Heritage was the better team. They stood on the verge of blowing Skyview out, leading by as many as 16 points late in the game. Then the Storm blew in, Heritage made some substitutions, some turnovers, some big shots feel for Skyview, the defense step up, and the pressure shifted onto the T-wolves shoulders. The Storm was the better team down the stretch and the final score 40 - 38 proved it. The Storm won the 4th quarter 14-2, that was the difference. As one of the Storm players put it. "We just wanted it more". So for that 1 minute Skyview had the lead.
Kailee Oliver's defensive pressure and steals prove to be the big turning point. Late in the game, anytime there was a lose ball, or a scramble she came up with it. And the aggression of freshman Maddie Van Liew who seem to thrive under the pressure, getting rebounds and hustling along with some big late free throws, even though others made the big shots late in the game, these two really won the game for Skyview. Van Liew and Brooke Bowen lead the Storm in scoring with 10 apiece. Bowen hit the lead changing shot with just over a minute remaining in the game.
No one hit double figures for Heritage, Justine Joudrey, Clara Russell and Chawncy McClenan lead Heritage in scoring.
Battle Ground and Kelso tangled last night to a 63 - 50 Lassie win. Kelso jumped out early 17-7 and kind of cruise in to victory behind Caitlynn Jackson's 17 points and Carly Perkins 10. The Tiger's got a big game from Gabi Dixon with a career high 24 points, and Mai Galusha with 10.

It was in the second quarter, with a full court press by the Storm, and some foul trouble for the Lassie's, that turn'd around a 10 - 4 lead for Kelso to a 24 - 17 halftime lead for Skyview. Then early in the 3rd quarter the lead was stretch to 16 points before Jackson was put back into the game to restore order for Kelso.

Now the big match up Monday Skyview vs Heritage.
Evergreen was able to make the game interesting in the 1st quarter down only 12-17, but couldn't keep it up, as Battle Ground slowly pulled away to a 54 - 26 Tiger win. Kiley Thomas had 13 points, and Aubri Squires scored 10 to lead Battle Ground to there 1st league win.

OK, the brief holiday celebration is over, back to work "it's hoops time"
Tuesday results, 1/20/09
I headed north last night, looking forward to seeing a couple of players that have put up some good numbers so far this year. Anna Pengra a 6' senior out of Ridgefield was scheduled to play against 5'7 junior Lauren Baker and Hannah Trigg a 5'8 junior both out of LaCenter. The game was played, but Trigg would be the only one of the 3 I'd see play tonight, and she was slowed by an injury. It seems that Pengra is suffering from a back injury, so she sat on a pillow on the bench, cheering on her team. And Baker called the coach just hours before the game, sick with the flu and couldn't get out of the bed. You can just imagine my disappointment.
But I was able to see a good non-league game, some what competitive in the first quarter. A chance to see 2A GHSL Ridgefield HS for the first time. A tough well coached team, solid, with out one of there impact players. And 1A Trico league, LaCenter HS, out man'd tonight but scrappy. The final score was 63 - 39 but it felt, for most of the game, to be closer than that. The Spudder's Lauren Landerholm, Shelby Willimas, and Nichole Kates were just to much for LaCenter's injured Trigg, Marissa Moore and Katrina Chamberlain to overcome.
GSHL 3A
Camas Papermaker's stayed undefeated in league with a victory over the Chieftains at Columbia River last night, 51 - 37. Melissa Williams lead all scoring with 14 points, and Emily Thomas added 11 for Camas.
Union had no problem defeating Hudson's Bay 71 - 23. The Titan's Janae Davis played huge with 18 points and 11 rebounds. Kynnedy Mosley added 15.
Prairie's "victory tour" performed last night to a tune of 75 - 11 over Fort Vancouver. Lauren Goecke toss in 13 points, Lindsey Levanen and Heather Corral had 12 points each for the Falcons.
Congratulations to Skyview's freshman Nikki Bond for being selected the Columbian Newspaper "athlete of the week".

Friday night results; 1/16/09
Two players in Southwest Washington score over 30 points in victory last night. Freshman sensation from Skyview Nikki Bond hit for 30 and Junior Lauren Baker from LaCenter had 33 points last night both in comfortable wins for their teams. Bombing it from long range paid benefits for them both.
LaCenter took on Stevenson last night in 1A Trico action. The Wildcat's built a 40-20 lead at the half and ran a way to a 80 - 49 victory. It's going to be hard for anyone to beat LaCenter in league this year. Let's hope they can stay focus when the state tournament comes around. Obviously Baker lead all scoring with 33, Hannah Trigg had 19, and Marissa Moore had 15 points. Stevenson's Kali Stump had 14 points.
4A GSHL
Skyview's defensive pressure and the pure shooting of Bond was just to much for Evergreen last night in an 82 - 34 run away. A 29-6 first quarter, set the tempo for the night. Katie Swanson had 11 points and Kailee Oliver added 10 to go along with Bond's 30 in victory for the Storm.
Heritage traveled up to Kelso last night and had a happy bus ride home, after defeating the Lassie's 60 - 48. The T-wolves blew open the game after a tight 1st quarter out scoring Kelso 34-13 in the next 16 minutes. Carly Perkins finish with 22 points for Kelso in defeat. TaShawna Gordon had her best game of her sophomore season with 19 points and solid inside play, and Justine Joudrey added 14 to pace the T-wolves.
Mountain View defeated Battle Ground in a hard fought defensive battle 39 - 27. Haley Holboke scored 11 for the Thunder.
3A GSHL
It's always interesting to see how a team that gets beat bad in a previous game, bounces back. Kudo's to Union. After suffering a horrible defeat to Prairie Tuesday, they came back to hold off Columbia River in overtime, 48 - 45. Lead by Megan Dire with 19 points including 2 clutch free throws at the end of regulation, and Janae Davis with 12 the Titan's were able to come from behind and defeat the Chieftain's. Allie Holterman had 16 points to lead River.
Prairie continues it victory tour defeating Hudson's Bay 79 - 7. Yeap I said (seven). The Falcon's had 4 girl's in double figures, Kristen Munson 12, Angela Gelhar 11, Marielle Ibaretta 10, and Lauren Goecke with 10.
Camas took down Fort Vancouver 67 - 34 in their best win of the year. The full court defense just swallow up the Trapper's and lead to many easy lay ups for the Papermaker's. Lead by Haley Smith's 12 points, Amy Faulkner with 10, and Katelyn Henson with 10, Camas had 10 players score. Fort was lead by Liz Girtle with 12 points and Shamarica Scott with 11.
2A GSHL
Woodland 38, Washougal 28 but the score doesn't reflect the battle. These girl's played hard, fortunately no one got hurt in this hard fought battle. Woodland couldn't afford it, down to 6 varsity players due to previous injuries. McKenzie Heberer wasn't going to allow the Beaver's to lose. Before fouling out, she grabbed 8 rebounds, had 6 block shots, and 3 assist to go with her 10 points. The Panther's pride themselves on defense as they took numerous offensive fouls placing several Woodland players in foul trouble. Alicia McElroy scored 13 to lead Washougal.
Hockinson Hawk's are soaring as they defeated Ridgefield 55 - 31. The Hawk's seem to have a good chemistry of players, outside shooters, strong inside presences, tough defenders, and a cleaver enough ball handler to take them far. They were lead tonight by Lejla Mlivic with 20 points, Amanda McCarty with 12 and Jennifer Pickup added 11. The Spudder's Shelby Williams had 10 points in defeat.
R.A. Long defeated Mark Morris 48 - 30 in the battle in Longview. A huge first half set the pace for the Lumberjill's up 31 - 5 at half time. Katie Gudgell lead R.A. Long with 11 points. Taybra Teeters had 12 and Kelee Lambert had 10 for the Monarch's.
LaCenter took on Stevenson last night in 1A Trico action. The Wildcat's built a 40-20 lead at the half and ran a way to a 80 - 49 victory. It's going to be hard for anyone to beat LaCenter in league this year. Let's hope they can stay focus when the state tournament comes around.

It's always interesting to see how a team that gets beat bad in a previous game, bounces back. Kudo's to Union. After suffering a horrible defeat to Prairie Tuesday, they came back to hold off Columbia River in overtime, 48 - 45. Lead by Megan Dire with 19 points including 2 clutch free throws at the end of regulation, and Janae Davis with 12 the Titan's were able to come from behind and defeat the Chieftain's. Allie Holterman had 16 points to lead River.
Prairie continues it victory tour defeating Hudson's Bay 79 - 7. Yeap I said (seven). The Falcon's had 4 girl's in double figures, Kristen Munson 12, Angela Gelhar 11, Marielle Ibaretta 10, and Lauren Goecke with 10.
Camas took down Fort Vancouver 67 - 34 in their best win of the year. The full court defense just swallow up the Trapper's and lead to many easy lay ups for the Papermaker's. Lead by Haley Smith's 12 points, Amy Faulkner with 10, and Katelyn Henson with 10, Camas had 10 players score. Fort was lead by Liz Girtle with 12 points and Shamarica Scott with 11.
2A GSHL
Woodland 38, Washougal 28 but the score doesn't reflect the battle. These girl's played hard, fortunately no one got hurt in this hard fought battle. Woodland couldn't afford it, down to 6 varsity players due to previous injuries. McKenzie Heberer wasn't going to allow the Beaver's to lose. Before fouling out, she grabbed 8 rebounds, had 6 block shots, and 3 assist to go with her 10 points. The Panther's pride themselves on defense as they took numerous offensive fouls placing several Woodland players in foul trouble. Alicia McElroy scored 13 to lead Washougal.
Hockinson Hawk's are soaring as they defeated Ridgefield 55 - 31. The Hawk's seem to have a good chemistry of players, outside shooters, strong inside presences, tough defenders, and a cleaver enough ball handler to take them far. They were lead tonight by Lejla Mlivic with 20 points, Amanda McCarty with 12 and Jennifer Pickup added 11. The Spudder's Shelby Williams had 10 points in defeat.
R.A. Long defeated Mark Morris 48 - 30 in the battle in Longview. A huge first half set the pace for the Lumberjill's up 31 - 5 at half time. Katie Gudgell lead R.A. Long with 11 points. Taybra Teeters had 12 and Kelee Lambert had 10 for the Monarch's.

The first of many busy nights in girl's hoops
Tuesday night results;
4A GSHL
There is a clear separation between the haves and the have not's in the 4A. That separation became even clearer last night. Heritage, Kelso and Skyview now 2 - 0 in league, seem to have what it takes to fight for the league title and a birth to the state tournament. Mt View, Evergreen, and Battle Ground now 0 - 2 in league, will have to fight a little harder to reach the promise land.
Heritage jump out to an early lead and never looked back coasting to a 63 - 31 victory over Evergreen. Sophomore Justine Joudrey lead the T-wolves with 12 points.
Skyview toppled Battle Ground 82 - 56. Nikki Bond scored 23, Kailee Oliver had 17, and Shelby Mason added 10 for the Storm. The Tiger's leading scorers were Cassie Black with 16, Kiley Thomas had 13, and Gabi Dixon added 10.
Kelso defeated Mt. View 61 - 54 in the closes game of the 4A last night. Mt. View was down an injured Evie Everett, who would probably have made a difference. Caitlynn Jackson and Carly Perkins lead the Lassie's with 13 points each. Haley Holboke had 16 for the Thunder and Caitlynn Patterson had a double/double with 15 points and 12 rebounds in defeat.
3A GHSL
The "queens of the mountain" flex their collective muscles last night, coming out of the locker room feeling as if they had something to prove, and proved it. Prairie held "up and coming" Union scoreless through out the 1st quarter and half of the 2nd quarter running out to a 24 to (zero) lead before the Titan's knew what hit them. The Falcon's cruised to a 58 - 24 victory showing that they haven't miss a beat, changing leagues, or losing seniors. Kristen Munson had 17 points and Lauren Goecke scored 10 for Prairie.
A third quarter that saw Fort Vancouver score only 2 points sealed the way for Columbia River to defeat the Trapper's 43 - 29. Amiee Bolton and Laura Luther lead the scoring for the Chieftain's with 12 and 10 points respectively. Shamarica Scott had 19 for the Trapper's.
The Camas Papermaker's smothered the Hudson's Bay Eagle's in the 3rd quarter not giving up a single point, in route to their 55 - 38 victory. Haley Smith of Camas lead all scores with 12, Kelsey Frasier and Brittney Davis had 10 points each for the Eagles.
2A GSHL
Hockinson clearly appears to be the best team in the 2A through the preseason. They did nothing last night to dispel that theory, handling Mark Morris 63 - 24. Michelle Haagen lead all scores with 19 points, Daron Dean and Lejla Mlivic had 16 each and Amanda McCarty added 10 for the Hawk's.
The Ridgefield Spudder's took it to the Panther's of Washougal 69 - 27. Leading scores were Nichole Kates with 19 points, Lauren Landerholm had 18, and Anna Pengra scored 14 points for Ridgefield.
In somewhat of a shocker, R.A. Long defeated Woodland 54 - 38. Christina Driscoll scored 16 points and Katie Guigell added 14 for the Lumberjill's.
Trico 1A
LaCenter keeps rolling along, defeating White Salmon 57 - 25. Lauren Baker scored 21 points to lead the Wildcat's and Hannah Trigg added 12.
Next games this Friday.

Friday night games; 1/9/09
It's league play, it counts now. Well I guess all the games count, but these games have a little more post season importance, they get you to districts and state. The 4A got started with all 6 Greater St. Helen's teams playing. The 3A & 2A will start league play next week. Ok so how did things shake out.
The best contest of the evening was Skyview Storming into the Thunder Dome, Mountian View High School and leaving with a 58 - 46 victory. A balance attack by the Storm lead by Tori Conley with 11 points and 3 other's with 9, prove to be to much for the Thunder lead by Caitlynn Patterson with 11 points. It was the 3rd quarter that rain down on Mt. View only scoring 6 points in the quarter.
You always wonder how a team is going to bounce back after an embarrassing lost, but Heritage seems to have weather the storm and came out ready to take it to Battle Ground Friday night. Coach Rogers express that it was the best 1st quarter his team has played all year, ending with a 21-5 lead. The T-wolves went on to a lopsided victory over the Tiger's 58 - 36. Clara Russell is really in a good flow now, going for her second game over 20 points, with 22 in this contest for Heritage. Sam Codi had 12 points for Battle Ground in defeat.
Kelso's Lassie's visited Evergreen last night and dismantled the Plainsmen 70 - 22. Evergreen is having trouble scoring only getting 3 points in the 2nd and 3rd quarters. They were lead by Amber Berry with 10 points in the lost, so the rest of the team had only had 12 points. Kelso's 6'1 junior superstar Carly Perkins had 15 points, and Madeline Zbaeren added 10.
In non-league actions at Fort Vancouver, Shamarica Scott broke out with 26 points to help the Trapper's defeat R.A. Long's Lumberjill's 46 - 36. Katie Gudgill stood toe to toe with Scott scoring 21 points of her own for R.A. Long, but it wasn't enough.
LaCenter still proving to be the class act of the 1A Trico league defeated Kalama 71 - 53. Hannah Trigg tossed in 20 points, Lauren Baker and Katrina Chamberline had 14 each for the Wildcat's, who are now 8 - 2.
Camas traveled up to Longview to play Mark Morris and got beat 55 - 44 by the Monarch's. The Papermaker's got solid play from Melissa Williams with 12 points, but Mark Morris prove to be to balance, Taybra Teeters had 12 points, & Christy Kirkpatrick added 10.

Wednesday results; 1/7/09
Only one game involving local girl's teams was played Wednesday, and from when I walked in to the gym you could feel tension. You see neither team had scratch a victory in the win column this year, and both wanted it really bad. They both felt they could get it, last night. Washougal's Mary Kartovil ran over to say hello, (she was finally able to play in her first game of the season) and she was very excited. My cell phone received a text messages from Evergreen's Breonah Scruggs (saying "I see you") she and her teammates where focused and ready to play. Both coaches Charlie Boyce ,Washougal, and Kathy Walker, Evergreen took time out of their pre-games to say hello. I couldn't help but notice them both trying to relax, but both really excited about the possibilities of the night.
As you know, I go to a lot of games through out the year. This game was as exciting a game I've been to so far this year. You would have thought it was between two undefeated teams battling for playoff position. A tough, hard fought, back and forth contest. Congratulations to both teams but only one could win. The home team Panther's lead by Alicia McElroy's 18 points, beat the Plainsmen 44 - 36. With the score 35-34 with 1:18 left, free throws and turnovers made the difference in that last minute or so. Thank you, to both teams for an entertaining and great game. Viewers be sure to get out and support our local girls teams. Not just your kids game, but go to see another sometime. You'll enjoy it.
I rarely do this, but because there was only one game, here is the box scores as provided by the Columbian newspaper.
For Evergreen;
Audrey Frazier 8, Breonah Scruggs 4, Amber Berry 9, Rebecca Wininger 2, Cheslsee Telles 4, Kayley Weaver 2, Anna Bellen 2, DeLane 3, Cortney Rutherford 2
For Washougal;
Darcy Akers 4, Kendell Utter 2, Alicia McElroy 18, Jordin Seekins 3, Elle Wade 6, Heidi Greear 2, Mary Kratovil 9
