WINNING IS ALWAYS PRETTY FOR WARRENTON

The path to victory isn't always scenic, but the Warrenton Lady Warriors are more interested in the final results than the evening wear competition.

Certainly, the Warriors roster is not lacking in beauty pageant candidates, but the style of basketball proffered at WHS isn't always easy on the eyes.

With their perennial struggles to score and a defense that makes opposing teams look like ugly ducklings, the Warriors will accept the winces as long as they are accompanied by wins.

In a game that featured 77 total turnovers and nearly as many free throw attempts, the Warriors defeated the Clatskanie Tigers 58-38 to open the inaugural Lewis & Clark season with a win.

Freshan Jordyn Holt played her finest game yet, scoring a career-high 22 points, many of which came on layups following her seven steals. Audrey Dove had six steals and six rebounds to complement four points. The Warriors forced 43 Clatskanie turnovers in the game, leading to 26 points. The Tigers scored 14 points off 34 Warriors turnovers.

Kyleigh Bates was Clatskanie's lone offensive bright spot, scoring 15 points including a pair of 3-pointers.

The Tigers never led, as Warrenton scored the first seven points of the game and used a 12-0 second quarter run to open up a 27-9 lead.

Warrenton, now 5-2 overall, will travel to play Oregon Episcopal School on Friday night.
