Ontheair Offensively, the Bobcats used a patient approach at the plate, collecting eight walks, four hit batsmen and seven hits against five Red Bluff pitchers. The Spartan starter, Walker Dodero went two pitches into the second inning before getting re- placed by Lane Pritchard. ZThe junior Pritchard didn't fare any better than Dodero, highlighted by a six-run Paradise fourth, to push the lead to 10-1. The Bobcats sent 13 to the plate in the fourth in- ning, three of whom earned consecutive run-scoring walks against Red Bluff's bullpen. The Spartans also strug- gled in the field with three fielding errors in the fourth inning and a misplay in right field that helped Jimmy Cleary turn an RBI single into a three-run dou- ble, plating Dylan Moran, James Erisman and Jet Hampton. "We played on the same field they did," Sanders said. "We should have made the plays; we had balls hit our glove that bounced off." Red Bluff had two scor- ing rallies, the most signif- icant in the top half of the second when Wesley Claw- son smacked an run-scor- ing double up the middle, chasing home Sam Hen- dricks and cutting the def- icit to 3-1. That's the closest that Red Bluff would get, as it looks to try and bounce back for the first time this season. "We knew going unde- feated was unlikely," Sand- ers said. "We're proud of the start we had (but) we definitely have to regroup and learn from this loss." Red Bluff opens the Fresno Easter Classic against Madera South at 1 p.m. Monday, while Par- adise continues the Wood- land tournament. Baseball Paradise12,RedBluff2(5inn.)

Enterprise won the girls events with 79.95 points, followed by West Valley with 71.9 and Chico with 68.93 points. Red Bluff had eight points. Jacie Lawley, Daisy Brose, Natalie Renfroe and Naomi Renfroe finished fifth in the 4x200 with a time of 1:58.6. The same four girls fin- ished fifth in the 1200-400- 800-1600 relay. The Lady Spartans 4x800 relay team was fourth. Shasta won the boys competition with 66.97 points ahead of West Val- ley with 61.96. Fortuna was third with 46.93 points. Angelo Trevino, Kade Lewis, Aaron Lyon and Dusty Loyd finished eighth in the 4x200 with a time of 1:39.87 for Red Bluff. They were 10th in the 100-100-200-400 relay. Martin Hernandez, Jose Montoya, Loyd and Ga- briel Fregoso were seventh in the 1200-400-800-1600 relay. The Spartans 4x800 re- lay team was seventh. Roundup FROM PAGE 1 was a little frustrated that I lost so I wanted to go out hit a couple of 3s. See how much I could put up," said Urrutia, who had 10 of his 12 points in the decisive run. The Pleasant Valley guard had a running mate in Mendes, the Willows' standout who scorched several foes throughout the year. The two played AAU basketball last year, and it showed. "We've got a lot of expe- rience with each other. It was easy to kind of take over because we know how each other play," Ur- rutia said. "I'm just really glad I got the opportunity to do this, and it's going to be a great experience to look back on." Mendes agreed. "It was just about hav- ing fun. Shots were fall- ing," said Mendes, who scored 13 points. "It's the best players in the North- ern Section. "And it's always bet- ter with a win," Mendes added. With a lead, the South kept going. Oroville's Wy- att and Red Bluff's Bosetti were the consistent forces for the South. Wyatt had 10 points by halftime, and Bosetti had 11 in the sec- ond half. "We were just out here having fun," said Wyatt, who put on highlight reel of his own that included a steal and breakaway dunk that left the South up 90- 61. Wyatt then had a dunk off the backboard for a 95- 61 lead with 5:27 left in the second half. "I was just feeling pretty good so I had to show something," Wyatt said. The Oroville standout showed plenty in his last game before heading to Ta- coma Community College in Washington. Wyatt was even awarded the game's scholarship at halftime. "It's going to help me buy books next year for col- lege," he said. The North picked up its share of honors Sun- day. Foothill's Beau Ham- ilton won the dunk com- petition over Paradise Ad- ventist Academy's Brandon Dudar, who had a promi- nent cheering section, in the finals to go with Full- er's 3-point title. "I didn't expect to win it going in. There were some pretty athletic kids out here," said Hamilton, who led the North with 17 points and is headed to Southern Oregon Univer- sity to play basketball. While a 180-degree dunk that he brought the ball back up from his waist won the final, Hamilton had his share during the game. He slammed home a put-back that drew oohs and ahs from the crowd, and then CV's Devan Howe hit him for an alley-oop midway through the second half. Oroville's James Jones, who along with Wyatt and South coach Rob Ander- son, helped the Tigers to a 24-4 record this year, fin- ished with eight points as did Quincy's Brady Rick. Durham's Brad Glover- Pisenti logged several min- utes, and Whitsett, the 6-foot-11 center from Ham- ilton, had his hand in sev- eral second-chance points. His basket gave the South a 101-63 lead.

They were able to get me some really good passes." T he Nor th team stormed back, however, led by University Prep's Kelsie Jurin and Ander- son's Katie Nunnelley. Ju- rin scored 18 points to lead the team while the Cal Poly-bound Nunnel- ley added 14. The North tied things up at 21 and went into halftime within 47-42. At the half, the inaugu- ral 3-point contest took place, with Enterprise's Janae Gray knocking down 14 threes to advance to the title round on the North side and Hughes nailing seven to advance for the South. Gray made eight more threes against Hughes' five to take the crown. The intermission got even better for Gray. After the 3-point contest, Gray was awarded a scholar- ship for her athletic and academic accomplish- ments. Gray ended her high school career with a 4.1 GPA. Out of the break, the South ran things to 73- 66 with 4 minutes to play. Then, the North's Nunnel- ley went up strong to get the bucket and the foul. She converted the free throw, drawing the North to within four. The South's Freitas answered immediately, scoring five of her nine points within a 15-sec- ond span. The South held a 79-74 lead when Hughes knocked down a 3-pointer with 19.8 seconds left. Ju- rin answered with a 3 of her own with 7 seconds re- maining, but time ran out for the North. The South's win breaks a two-year winning streak for the North. Abrams was happy she was the one to rep- resent Chico on the all- star game. It meant play- ing with athletes she had formerly played against, but the transition went smoothly. "Now that we're one team, we weren't fight- ing," Abrams said. "We were bonding, and that's a good feeling." Joyce, meanwhile, felt the all-star win was a fit- ting way to wrap up her basketball career as a Vi- king. "It's been a great four years," Joyce said, "and this is a great way to end it." Contact reporter Nick Woodard at 896-7779.
