Ahead of what is looking like a challenging Big Sky Conference slate, the streaking South Wasco County Redsides swept a pair of nip and tuck tournament games this past weekend in Newberg.
Down 10 points in the third quarter, South Wasco County bounced back for a 12-0 run through the end of the third period and midway through the fourth and locked down a 59-52 victory over Glendale in final-day action at the C.S. Lewis Invitational Saturday.
The Redsides were up by a 29-24 score at the half, but Glendale went on a 19-8 third-quarter spurt to jump ahead, with a 43-37 lead entering the final quarter.
Garrett Olson ripped off 24 points, six rebounds, five assists and four steals to lead the way for the Redsides, who made 25 of 53 shots, 9 of 20 from 3-point territory, and converted 6 of 14 free throws.
Oscar Thomas had 15 points, six boards, four assists and two steals, Tanner Davis tallied 10 points, five assists and six steals, Brock LaFaver ended up with eight points, 10 rebounds, six assists, two steals, and Remington Sheer had two points, two rebounds and two steals.
Friday, the quartet of Thomas, Olson, LaFaver and Davis combined for 67 points, 30 rebounds, 20 assists and 16 steals in South Wasco County’s 69-37 dismantling of St. Stephens Academy.
In all, the Redsides made 29 of 65 shots (44 percent) and broke open a 37-18 halftime margin with a 23-11 third-quarter run.
