Hermiston’s Size Too Much for Central Valley

<!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Hermiston vs Central Valley</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>What Stood Out</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This game was decided on the glass. Central Valley struggled to find consistent offense from the perimeter and finished just 3 for 16 from three. When shots did not fall, Hermiston capitalized with defensive rebounds and second chances on the other end. The Bears were within striking distance early, but Hermiston built separation through physicality and patience. Central Valley shot 30 percent from the field, and while the defense kept things competitive for stretches, the lack of sustained scoring made it difficult to apply pressure. Hermiston finished with 41 rebounds to Central Valley's 32 and 17 offensive boards. That difference showed up in extra possessions and ultimately in the final margin.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Who Stood Out</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Aspyn Inners","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'10u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"12122","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Hermiston","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69a382320fb98"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Inners led all scorers with 20 points and was the most consistent offensive presence on the floor.
