Rams fight back for fourth at state

UNIVERSITY PLACE, Wash. — It’s not often a team will be happy to take fourth place, but given the uphill battle West Valley faced Saturday, the Rams were, in fact, more than pleased with that finish in the Class 3A-2A state bowling tournament.

Starting out Saturday’s 14 Baker games in third place, the Rams fell to fifth place midway through the day before a late rally helped them pass Black Hills to finish fourth at Narrows Plaza Bowl.

“We fought back and pulled it out. We’ll take it,” West Valley coach Brad Cramer said. “The way we struggled today, we’ll absolutely take it.”

This marks the second straight year the Rams have earned a state trophy, although this was a few notches below the championship trophy they earned last season.

Mark Morris turned in the best effort of the day and it was enough to overtake first-day leader Olympic for the title. Mark Morris finished with 7,062 pins to Olympic’s 6,980.

Prairie had the day’s second-best effort and it was enough to place it third at 6,804. West Valley was next at 6,712, with Black Hills fifth at 6,679.

Trailing Black Hills entering the final three games, the Rams responded with their best Baker games of the day, capped by a 187 while Black Hills closed with a 146.

“The girls knew they were behind and had to rally,” Cramer said. “We finished with three really good games.”

Cramer noted that junior Kalene Yates, one of West Valley’s subs, really stepped up and provided some consistent bowling as others just couldn’t seem to find that groove.

“She came on and really did a good job filling frames,” he said. “She stood out for me today. She stayed steady for us.”

FINAL TEAM SCORES

1, Mark Morris 7.062; 2, Olympic 6,980; 3, Prairie 6,804; 4, West Valley 6,712; 5, Black Hills 6,679; 6, Timberline 6,514; 7, Klahowya 6,507; 8, Everett 6,431.

YVCC men stun first-place Big Bend

MOSES LAKE, Wash. — Two weeks ago, Yakima Valley’s season was quickly slipping away after a last-second loss to Columbia Basin.

My, how things can change.

Getting righted with two lopsided home wins, the Yak men have kept that momentum going with two impressive road wins, the latest an 87-79 victory over NWAACC East Region-leading Big Bend on Saturday afternoon.

The victory improved the Yaks to 6-3 in the region (12-9 overall), while Big Bend slipped to 7-2 and 12-5.

“That’s a big win for us,” YVCC coach Ray Funk said. “These guys are really showing some resiliency.”

Jordan Kidd, Damar Wilson and Willie Blodgett did much of the damage, combining for 60 points.

Kidd led the way with 28 points, with Wilson adding 19 points and 11 rebounds, and Blodgett collecting 13 points, five assists and four steals.

Trailing 37-32 at the half, Yakima Valley tightened its defense, limiting Big Bend to 37-percent shooting (13 of 35), while getting its own offense in gear.

The Yaks shot 52.5 percent in the second half (21 of 40) to outscore the Vikings 55-42. Yakima Valley took the lead early in the second half and never relinquished it, ultimately building a 15-point lead (76-61) before cruising home.

W. Oregon overtakes Central

MONMOUTH, Ore. — Fresh off a victory over the region’s top seed, Central Washington couldn’t maintain that momentum as Western Oregon used a big finishing kick to defeat the Wildcats 77-74 in a GNAC men’s basketball game Saturday afternoon.

Western Oregon (4-5, 11-9) outscored the Wildcats 10-2 in the final 1:51 to pull out the victory over a Central team that was coming off an upset of Seattle Pacific this past Thursday.

Chris Sprinker and Toussaint Tyler scored 21 points apiece to lead Central (6-3, 12-7), which had an eight-game winning streak against the Wolves snapped.

Sprinker also had 10 rebounds and matched his career-high with six blocked shots.

Tyler scored nine of Central’s final 12 points before fouling out with 4 seconds to play. His final basket gave Central a 74-70 lead.

But Blair Wheadon made two free throws and then hit a go-ahead 3-pointer with 21 seconds left to rally Western Oregon.

Central missed a 3-pointer and had a turnover on its final two possessions.

Wheadon had 18 points to lead six Western Oregon players in double figures.
