Ducks down Crusaders; Beavers Dam Delta Devils
Joseph Young wound up with 20 points; Elgin Cook had 19 and Oregon overcame an early dismal three-point shooting display for a 94-63 victory over Concordia last night in Eugene. Young misfired on his five 3-point tries, but finished ten for 13 inside the arc. The Ducks will take on Ole Miss Sunday afternoon.
In Corvallis, the late start didn’t faze the Beavers who cruised to a 74-50 win over Mississippi Valley State. Gary Payton II had a career-high 24 points to lead Oregon State; Daniel Gomis added 11 points and six rebounds. The Beavers will be at the University of Portland Saturday night.
Prep Basketball opener
Things got under way on the prep courts last night… in Mapleton, Tucker Ford had 14 points and two steals, Chris Free added eight points, but the Powers Cruisers came out on top over the Sailors 47-28. The Sailors will host the Siuslaw JV boys tomorrow night.
In Coquille, the Red Devils routed the Viking girls 63-22 in Siuslaw’s season opener. In the boys’ game, Siuslaw came out on top 51-47.
