COLUMBIANS SWEEP WARRIORS

Cole Jackson slicked the strings for 31 points as Rainier defeated Warrenton 60-45 in a Lewis & Clark League boys basketball game at Rainier Saturday.

"They shot the ball extremely well," said Warrenton head coach Josh Jannush. "We didn't do a real good job tonight of defending their guards."

Bobby Harding added 14 points for the Columbians, who improved to 4-2 in league play and 6-7 overall.

Eric Gantenbein paced the Warriors with 13 points and Jordan Little and Michael O'Casey added 10 points each. Warrenton dropped into a fourth place tie with Rainier at 4-2, a half game behind third place Portland Adventist (4-1, 8-5) which defeated Riverdale 70-56 Saturday.

The Warriors and Cougars play today at Warrenton, a doubleheader rescheduled from last Thursday.

The Lady Warriors had a tough time as well at Rainier, falling 49-30 to the league-leading Columbians (6-0, 8-5).

"We got outrebounded pretty badly early in the game," said girls head coach John Mattila. "We also had some pretty good opportunities to score but the ball wouldn't go in. We didn't play on the defensive end with a lot of passion. We just didn't move very well. They got a lot of second shots and beat us badly on inbounds plays to score."

Heidi Jackson paced the Columbians attack with 13 points, with Kayla Nagunst chipping in with 11. Freshman guard Jordyn Holt was Warrenton's leading scorer with 10 points.

The loss ended a 9-game winning streak for the Lady Warriors (5-1, 12-3), who face Portland Adventist (4-1, 10-2) at 3:00 p.m. today, with the boys varsity game following at approximately 4:30 p.m. Today's games will not be broadcast, however, the Warriors rematch with Clatskanie has been added to the broadcast schedule on Jan. 23 and will be aired live on SportsRadio 1230 ESPN with pregame coverage beginning at 6:05 p.m.
