GIRLS’ BASKETBALL ROUNDUP : Oregon City, Nation’s Top-Ranked Team, Beats No. 3 Woodbridge by 21

Oregon City, the No. 1-ranked team in USA Today’s national high school poll, beat Woodbridge, ranked No. 3 in the same poll, 75-54, Wednesday in the semifinal round of the Basic High girls’ basketball Invitational in Henderson, Nev.

Oregon City (6-0) showed off an aggressive press and 6-foot-1 center Brianne Meharry. Woodbridge couldn’t handle either.

Meharry, a junior, scored a game-high 30 points, making 12 of 17 shots. Equally important was Oregon City’s defense.

After Woodbridge came as close as 46-43 on Carly Moss’ three-pointer, the Pioneers pulled away. They went on a 23-4 run, scoring 10 points before the Warriors (7-1) were able to take a shot.

Moss and Krissy Duperron each had 15 points for Woodbridge. Duperron, who had not played this season because of an injury, came off the bench to make six of seven shots.
