UMATILLA — The Umatilla girls basketball team took care of business on the court this season, and the Eastern Oregon League coaches took care of the Vikings when it came time to name the all-league rosters.

Of the Vikings’ nine players, seven were awarded a spot in the EOL All-League teams, led by senior guard Sidney Webb as Player of the Year.

Umatilla coach Scott Bow, who was named Coach of the Year, said he didn’t see it coming.

“It was very surprising,” he said of the team’s all-league haul. “It was more than I expected would get honored and put on there.”

He said it didn’t take any lobbying from him, either.

“It wasn’t too much of me doing the work, it was other coaches wanting to put them on there,” he said. “They felt like they were all just so important to what we did that they wanted to make sure they all were honored.”

Webb stood out the most during the Vikings’ 8-1 EOL season and district title win, and Bow said it had as much to do with her physical skills as her basketball IQ and leadership qualities. “Not just her ability, more focus was on that she was a coach on the floor,” he said. “She controlled the tempo, she controlled everything we were trying to do and just really took care of us that way.”

Joining Webb on the first team was senior Courtney Dohman and junior Aleesha Watson. Juniors Brenda Campos and Taija Coffey were named to the second team and seniors Judy Contreras and Mari Paz were awarded honorable mention.

“Hats off to the girls,” Bow said. “I’m really proud of what we were able to accomplish and all the hard work they put in.”

Riverside had two players honored in junior Lacy Mashos (second team) and freshman Alondra Caldera (honorable mention).

The Umatilla and Riverside boys’ teams each had four all-league selections and Riverside coach Clair Costello was named Coach of the Year.

Riverside’s first team selections were sophomore Eon Castillo and junior Noe Madrigal. Senior Felipe Olvera (second team) and senior Sergio Navarro (honorable mention) were their other selections.

Umatilla had one boy make the first team, sophomore Kaden Webb. Junior Jesus Ramirez and freshman Tyson Durfey both made the second team and senior Juan Coria was honorable mention.

Nyssa junior Andres Gonzalez was the EOL Player of the Year.
