There’s no doubt that the Horizon Christian High Hawks girls basketball team is a Big Sky Conference title contender this year and they continued their remarkable success by winning two weekend games.
The South Wasco County Redsides are one win away from ending the year with a two-game winning streak and have a chance to finish the regular season fifth in the Big Sky Conference standings.
Although the Dufur Rangers had Kayla Bailey return to the lineup, starting post presence Emily DePriest could not dress down due to an ankle injury, and the Ione Cardinals took advantage.
The South Wasco County Redsides finished one shot away from pulling off an upset win over the Ione Cardinals. Jessie Flynn scored a game-high 26 points, including seven in the fourth quarter, and No. 19 Ione held SWC without a field goal in its final possession to hold on for the 51-50 win Friday in a girls’ basketball league showdown played in Maupin.
The No. 1 ranked Horizon Christian School Hawks boys basketball team had another dominating performance over a Big Sky Conference foe as they crushed the Ione Cardinals 69-27 at home last Friday.
A year ago, Ione was one of two Big Sky Conference teams to defeat Horizon Christian School in boys basketball. The Hawks made sure history didn’t repeat itself Friday.
