Pine-Eagle girls win two

Pine-Eagle opened its Old Oregon League girls basketball season with a weekend sweep of Powder Valley and Joseph last weekend at Halfway. Friday, the Spartans defeated Powder Valley 50-44. Then, Saturday, Pine-Eagle topped Joseph 50-33.
Pine-Eagle defeated Powder Valley for the third time this season. Friday’s game was physical as evident in 39 fouls being called, and five players fouling out. “It took a long time to play this one,” said Pine-Eagle coach Roger Gulick. “There were a lot of fouls.” Gulick said the Spartans would build leads of 10 to 14 points only to have Powder Valley battle back. “We just couldn’t quite separate from them,” Gulick said. Pine-Eagle’s post players — Kaylee Holmstead, Ce’Aira Marks and Alicia Marlow — scored 35 of the Spartans’ 50 points. “When we could get the ball inside, Powder Valley was in serious trouble,” Gulick said. “I was really tickled about the way we played. We just battled our way through.” Marks led Pine-Eagle with 13 points. Holmstead and Marlow each added 11. Jessi Stephens topped Powder Valley with 10 points.
Saturday, Pine-Eagle used a switching defense to subdue the Eagles. “Defensively, we just jumped on them,” Gulick said. “We started in a man, then switched to a new defense we just installed in the second quarter. We got after them 17-4. Everybody played smart, moving their feet.” Gulick said McKenzie Bell asked to guard Joseph’s best player, Anna Bird, before the game. “Bell asked and I said you bet,” Gulick said. “Between McKenzie and Randee Koski they basically shut Bird down.” Bird led Joseph with 12 points, but had to work to get every one. “We were just too big for them inside,” Gulick said. “They usually only got one shot, and it was contested.” Chelsie Gulick led Pine-Eagle with 18 points. Marks added 12. “Chelsie had a good, solid weekend,” her father said. “This was a great team effort. “We got our 2-0 start. We’re right where we wanted to be,” Gulick said. Pine-Eagle travels to Wallowa Friday, then hosts top-ranked Imbler Saturday.
