Hey all, just a short recap for now and not sure when I will get something up more on this game but I will. Girls played hard and had a good game but couldn't quite pull it out. It's off to Disneyland on Wednesday so I doubt I will write tonight or tomorrow. It's been a long, but enjoyable, four days so far!



VAN NUYS, Calif. -- Syree Gerner had 23 points and McKenzie Redberg added 15 but the Corvallis High girls basketball team dropped a tough 76-69 double-overtime decision to Oaks Christian (Calif.) in the title game of the Winter Slam Jam tournament at Van Nuys High School on Tuesday night.

The Spartans led by seven late in the fourth quarter but Oaks Christian was able to tie the game with 9 seconds left in regulation. Oaks Christian had the ball and a chance to win in the first overtime but didn't get a shot off.

Finally, thanks to the play of tournament MVP Katie Brooks, Oaks Christian was able to pull away in the second overtime.

Brooks led all scorers with 37 points, including 18 in the two overtime periods.

CHS led 10-0 and was up 37-22 at the half, but Oaks Christian used a 23-11 advantage in the third quarter to get back in the game.

Gerner, Redberg and Gabe Johnson were named to the all-tournament team.

Katie Schrock added 13 points for the Spartans, who fall to 6-2 and will open Mid-Willamette Conference play on Jan. 6 at home against Woodburn.
