WARRIORS SWEEP AARDVARKS AT O.E.S.
After an encouragingly competitive home loss to Clatskanie, the Warrenton Warriors boys got to feel good about a victory.
Warrenton defeated Oregon Episcopal School 56-48 on the road Friday, following a 66-37 victory by the Lady Warriors. Warrenton's boys improved to 1-1 in Lewis & Clark League with the win, while the girls improved to 2-0 with their fifth win in their last six games.
After an 11-2 start, the Lady Warriors watched as O.E.S. scored nine straight points to tie the game at 11 at the end of one period. Warrenton limited the Aardvarks to two points in the second period, then outscored O.E.S. 47-24 in the second half to win going away.
"They were younger than I thought they were going to be," said Warriors coach John Mattila of the Aardvarks, expected to be a contender in the upper half of the new 3A league. "They kind of hung in there with us at first, but as the game went on, we actually took the pressure off and played well. They pressed us the whole game and that allowed us to get out in the open court."
Jordane Marxer took advantage of the transition game to dish out nine assists and four steals as three Warriors players finished in double figures scoring, led by Audrey Dove, who had 13 points and a game-high 16 rebounds. Jordyn Holt added 12 points and Lesleann Hayward added a season-high 10 points, while Katie McBride chipped in a career-high 8 points.
"I think the league is starting to take shape a little bit," said Mattila. "We have Neah-Kah-Nie next week and they should be pretty tough. O.E.S. beat Catlin Gabel by three earlier in the week. I'm starting to get a pretty good feel for the league at this point and I think we have a really good chance at finishing in the upper division. "
Warrenton has not reached the state playoffs in girls basketball since 1998, despite a lot of successful seasons during that span. Three teams from the Lewis & Clark League will qualify for the state tournament.
The Warriors boys have proven that they will be in the running for a top three spot, despite a losing start to the season. Warrenton started out strong on Friday, building an 11-5 lead at the end of one quarter and held a 15-point second half lead on O.E.S. before the Aardvarks staged a comeback.
"I think the kids are starting to learn what to do when those other teams are making runs," said Jannusch.
"We did a really good job of emphasizing the third quarter. Right off the bat, we nailed a couple of baskets and the kids got into a comfort zone. They are learning how to compete in the second halfs a little better."
Leading by four with three minutes remaining in the game, the Warriors got key free throw shooting from Eric Gantenbein and Ryan Lampi, who each went 4-for-4 at the line in the quarter. The Warriors were 9-for-10 at the line as a team in the final period and 16-for-21 for the game in improving their overall record to 3-5.
Gantenbein led all scorers with 16 points. Jordan Little had a double-double with 13 points and 10 rebounds. Senior guard Brandon Garcia returned to the lineup for the first time since aggravating a foot injury at South Bend, scoring 2 points.
The Warriors play at Neah-Kah-Nie Tuesday night. Both games will be broadcast live on SportsRadio 1230 ESPN, with pregame coverage beginning at 6:05 p.m.
