Girls Basketball
Portola 52, Colusa 49
The Colusa High girls basketball team may not be playing for the Northern Section championship at Chico State on Saturday, but the RedHawks' season isn't over just yet.
Following a loss at Portola in the Division V semifinals on Tuesday night, Colusa coach Jerry Davies said that the RedHawks will still play in the state tournament next week due to a shortage of Division-V teams.
So while the loss stings, it didn't bring an end to Colusa's season.
"It was just one of those games where we just couldn't pull it out late," Davies said. "We really wanted to get to Chico for our community, but unfortunately that didn't happen."
Colusa (20-7) was led by Katie Mobley's 13-point, 14-rebound, three-block effort, while Cheyenne Rogers added 12 points, eight rebounds and a pair of assists in the loss. Matty Myers chipped in with 10 points, Emily Mobley had six points, 11 rebounds and three assists and Paige Townzen finished with five points.
Davies said the RedHawks will found out where they will play in the state tournament when the brackets are released on Sunday.
Baseball
Pierce 13, Esparto 3
Oscar Sanchez went 2-for-3 with two RBIs and Taylor Cabral finished 2-for-4 with a pair of RBIs as well to lift the Bears to a non-league victory over Esparto in Arbuckle.
Joey Hernandez ended the game in the bottom of the sixth with a walk-off RBI-triple to invoke the 10-run rule.
Cabral struck out nine over five innings to notch the win and Hernandez struck out the side in the sixth for Pierce (2-0).
Softball
Pierce 9, Williams 5
The Pierce High softball team opened its season with a 9-5 home victory against Williams on Tuesday.
The Bears scored five runs in the third inning and three more in the fifth to give starting pitcher Aloysa Anderson all the run support she needed.
Anderson helped herself out on offense by going 2-for-3 with two RBIs at the plate, while striking out eight in seven innings in the pitcher's circle.
Nikki Herrera led the Bears offense with three hits and drove in two runs. Ashley Flood and Sierra Schloesser each smacked two hits and Angel Clark drove in two runs.
