Girls: WARRENTON 60, PORTLAND ADVENIST 44
Jordyn Holt is following in the footsteps of a couple of high profile freshmen. Unfortunately, her feet will probably touch down on a different gym floor by this time next season.
Warrenton's speedy rookie point guard scored 25 points last night, a season and career-high point total which gave her the all-time freshman scoring record at the school, as the Warriors knocked off Portland Adventist to climb within a half game of Lewis & Clark League-leading Rainier.
Warrenton outmuscled the visitors throughout the match, outrebounding the Cougars 53-27 in the contest. Holt had six rebounds and six steals in the game and usually started and finished her own fast breaks.
"Holt is so quick on those steals and so athletic when she goes to the basket," said Warrenton head coach John Mattila.
"The rest of the scoring was spread around pretty good. But really, the key was rebounding."
The Warriors had a huge edge on the offensive glass, outrebounding the Cougars 29-6, which led to a 12-3 edge in second chance points.
Audrey Dove led the glass attack with 13 boards to go with eight points. Five Warriors had at least five rebounds in the contest as Warrenton bounced back from its first league loss to improve to 6-1 in league and 13-3 overall.
The turning point in the game came in the second quarter after PAA sophomore Sierra King gave her team a 14-9 lead on a 3-point play when she was fouled on a rebound putback. The Warriors responded with six straight points, capped by Holt's steal and layup. She was fouled, but missed the free throw, as Warrenton regained a 15-14 lead.
After the lead changed hands on three straight posessions, Pam Wilkins came off the bench to drain back-to-back three pointers to give the Warriors the lead for good. Warrenton led 27-20 at the half, scoring on another Holt fastbreak layup with one second left. The Warriors tore off the first 14 points of the second half, completing a 16-0 run with an Audrey Dove free throw to take a 41-20 lead with 3:26 left in the third period.
Portland Adventist went on an 11-0 run at the end of the third period in the fourth quarter to cut the Warrior lead to 41-31, but Holt ended with a steal and sprint that ended in a 3-point play. After a Dove free throw, Holt again led the break off an Emily Ogren steal, finishing another 3-point play, before getting on the receiving end of a Jordane Marxer steal and pass for another fast break layup. Holt scored again with 5:23 left in the quarter, notching 10 points on an 11-0 Warrior run to seal the game as Warrenton regained a 52-31 lead. That final field goal was the only one of 11 made baskets by the 5-4 guard that did not come on a fast break. Holt finished the game 11-for-19 from the field and had six steals in the game. The Warriors scored 28 fast break points to just six for PAA.
King, a sophomore transfer from Tualatin Valley Christian, led Portland Adventist with 17 points on 8-for-11 shooting and had a team-high eight rebounds. Junior guard Kristin Johnson, who scored 22 points against Warrenton last year, was held to just two points. Jenae Nelson went 4-for-9 from 3-point range and finished with 14 points for the Cougars, who dropped to 4-2 in league and 10-3 overall.
Warrenton finishes its first tour through the Lewis & Clark League at home Friday night against the Catlin Gabel Eagles.
