Bailey Dickerson did not single-handedly win the game, of course. But the statistics make a strong argument in her favor.
The 5-foot-11 sophomore forward grabbed 23 rebounds — to go with 14 points, six assists and five steals — and led Mountain View to a 53-45 home-court win over Class 6A Wilson of Portland on the second day of the Les Schwab Oregon Holiday Hoopfest.
“She had an outstanding game,” said Cougars girls basketball coach Steve Riper, noting that Dickerson’s rebounding helped limit the Trojans to a single shot on most of their possessions.
Wilson, which shot freely from the perimeter and made eight 3-pointers in the game, led 14-10 after one quarter and 27-26 at halftime. By the second half, Riper said, Mountain View figured out the Trojans’ defensive scheme.
“Once we settled down,” said Riper, “we did a better job handling their pressure — it’s a trapping defense — and we started making good decisions.”
The Cougars overtook the Trojans in the third quarter for a 36-35 lead, then outscored them 17-10 in the fourth quarter with the help of 7-for-11 free-throw shooting.
Mia Morey scored 15 points and freshman Kailynn Bowles added nine for Mountain View (5-4), which won for the fifth time in six games.
