Big 4th quarter pushes Zillah past Granger ||

ZILLAH, Wash. — It can’t be easy, ignoring the elements.

Not on a night like Saturday in a place like Zillah Alumni Gymnasium, where the stands were full, the decibels high and the pressure — from the perspective of playing a rival from only 10 miles down the road — enormous.

But the Zillah Leopards did it again, performing as if they were oblivious to the screaming, the score and their own malfunctions, surging past Granger 72-65 to secure the SCAC West championship and top district berth.

“We don’t really pay attention to the score,” said junior guard Robert Slack. “We just keep playing hard. We just bust our butts for 32 minutes and see where it takes us.”

Said Zillah coach Doug Burge, after his team had won yet another close game against yet another quality opponent, “I really don’t have an explanation. We were down nine with about two minutes to go the other night at Goldendale, and scored the last 11 points to win the game.”

Nothing that dramatic was required this time, but the sixth-ranked Leopards did trail No. 7 Granger 53-50 before staging a decisive 13-0 burst. It put them permanently ahead in a back-and-forth affair, gave them a regular-season sweep of the Spartans and allowed them to win despite a 30-point, 12-rebound performance from Granger’s Andrew Reddout.

Derrell Pascal had 15 points and 11 rebounds, Robert Slack totaled 14 points and Ricky Cuellar 12 for Zillah (10-1 league, 17-2 overall), which has won nine straight and will conclude its regular campaign with a Monday night makeup game at Highland.

“There are times where we don’t look very good,” Burge said, “then we just keep playing and do what we need to do. It’s not always pretty.”

And the Leopards endured a few flat spots in this one, some caused by the gritty, Reddout-led Spartans (9-3, 16-4) and others self inflicted.

They trailed 22-14 and 24-16 early in the second quarter, in part because Pascal had picked up a second personal foul and was watching. But Zillah also committed 11 turnovers in the first half, en route to a 30-28 deficit, and added just four more over the final two periods.

Still, Granger held the advantage starting the final eight minutes, thanks mostly to the irrepressible Reddout, who scored 11 third-period points including his team’s final seven.

Pascal, however, scored inside to start the quarter, Slack added a bucket and then Pascal scored again on a putback and then on an inside move through a foul. He missed the free throw, but Jace McKay converted a fast-break bucket, Slack hit a foul-line jumper and Cuellar capped the eruption with a top-of-the-key 3-pointer for a 63-53 Leopards lead with 4:35 to play.

With Pascal’s floor time limited by the aforementioned foul trouble — he sat part of the third quarter after being whistled for his third personal — Dee Villanueva did considerable heavy lifting by scoring eight points and grabbing a game-high 14 boards to lead Zillah’s 43-30 advantage on the glass.

Burge, meanwhile, was among the many impressed by Reddout.

“He’s just a heckuva player,” Burge said. “He took the game over for awhile there, and then we made some adjustments and I think he might have gotten a little tired. But my heart goes out to him.”

Brandon Castro, like Reddout another multi-year standout for the Spartans, added 13 points and Esau Cervantes had 10.

TOPPENISH, Wash. — Just beating East Valley would be reason enough for Toppenish’s girls basketball team to celebrate.

Beating an East Valley team ranked first in the state made Saturday’s upset all the more satisfying.

Osiris Rodriguez scored 19 points, hitting five of Toppenish’s 11 3-pointers, to lead the Wildcats to a 48-44 victory over the previously undefeated Red Devils.

“If we can get hot (from 3-point range) we’re pretty tough. We got hot tonight,” Toppenish coach Akil White said of his team’s 11-for-22 effort from long distance.

Having clinched a district berth with Friday’s victory, White said his team was relaxed Saturday.

“We’re playing with house money,” he said. “They just went out and played loose and had fun.”

Three-pointers played a pivotal role in Toppenish’s game-changing 18-6 third quarter that put the Wildcats up 38-31. The Wildcats hit four treys in the period — two by Rodriguez.

East Valley tried to rally in the fourth, but Toppenish’s young squad managed to hang on.

“It was a big win for us,” said White, who didn’t know when the last time Toppenish beat East Valley.

Tara Bremer added 10 points for the winners. Ashlee Bethancourth led East Valley with 12 points.

UNIVERSITY PLACE, Wash. — A week after dominating the Baker games, Selah was simply average Saturday and the Vikings were unable to move up the leaderboard in the Class 3A-2A state bowling tournament at Narrows Plaza Bowl.

Selah finished eighth in the eight-team division, although the Vikings’ final total was better than two of the eight Class 4A teams in the two-day event.

“When it was all over, I told them that, considering we were the only 2A team in the tournament, we have to consider our season was pretty good,” Selah coach William Foster said.

It was the second straight state trip for Selah, which took seventh last season.

After Friday’s six individual games, the Vikings were eighth with 6,498 pins. They added 2,123 more in Saturday’s 14 Baker games to finish at 6,498. Their Baker game average was 151.6, which Foster said was “right about our average” for the season.

Selah’s best Baker game was a 189, and it had five games of at least 173, but the Vikings also had three games of 125 and a low of 117.

“We had some good ones and some bad ones (Saturday),” said Foster, whose team averaged 178.7 in seven Baker games at district, including three 200-plus efforts. “They kind of woke up (after a slow start Saturday). They had fun.”

Mark Morris ran away with the 3A-2A title, finishing with 8,074 pins — 600 more than runner-up Wilson, and 358 more than 4A team champion Battle Ground.

FINAL TEAM RESULTS

Class 4A

NAMPA, Idaho — Central Washington bounced back from an early defecit to take the lead at halftime, but couldn’t hang on, losing to Northwest Nazarene 75-70 on Saturday night at the Johnson Sports Center.

It was a costly loss for the Wildcats (4-8 GNAC, 10-10 overall) because it dropped them out of a tie for sixth place. The top six teams qualify for the GNAC tournament.

Central trailed until midway through the first half, when the Wildcats went on a 12-4 run capped by Kevin Davis’ dunk.

Central led 38-33 at the half and would extend its lead to seven points with about 12 minutes remaining.

Northwest Nazarene rallied to take the lead with just under three minutes remaining and took the lead for good with 1:05 to play.

“We’ve got to figure out how to finish games out,” Central coach Greg Sparling said, adding that the Wildcats just couldn’t convert good scoring chances late in the game.

“We had a handful of in-and-outs,” he said. “We had decent looks.”

Lacy Haddock led five Wildcats in double figures with 14 points. Also reaching double figures for CWU were Jody Johnson (13 points), Jordan Coby (12), Toussaint Tyler (11) and Kevin Davis (11).

JB Pillard scored 19 of his game-high 21 points in the second half for Northwest Nazarene (5-7, 11-9).

Big Bend runs past YVCC men

MOSES LAKE, Wash. — Yakima Valley faded after a strong first half, while Big Bend, behind the tandem of Blake Skidmore and Antonio Snow helped Big Bend, got hot and rolled to an 80-66 victory in an NWAACC East Region men’s basketball game Saturday.

The loss dropped YVCC (6-2, 13-7) into a second-place tie in the region with Walla Walla, which defeated Treasure Valley 89-76 Saturday. Both are a half-game behind Spokane (6-1 region), which beat Wenatchee Valley 78-61 Saturday.

Yakima Valley led 38-36 at the half, helped by 12-of-24 shooting, but the Yaks cooled off to just 36 percent (8 of 22) after halftime, while Big Bend converted on 55.6 percent of its second-half shots (15 of 27) in outscoring the Yaks 44-28.
