ALBANY - Gabe Johnson scored 18 points, Katie Schrock had 17 and Syree Gerner added 14 as the Corvallis High girls basketball team pulled away in the second half for an 80-45 Mid-Willamette Conference victory over South Albany on Tuesday night.

The Spartans led 38-26 at the half but scored the first 10 points and finished with a 27-9 advantage in the quarter to push the lead to 65-35.

Corvallis (9-2, 3-0) was in foul trouble throughout most of the first half, and South Albany stayed close by hitting 11 of 12 free throws in the half.

The Spartans scored 17 of the first 20 points in the third quarter to break it open.

Alaina Adams added nine points, all in the second half, as she played just more than two minutes in the first half after picking up three fouls.

The Spartans are home against crosstown rival Crescent Valley on Thursday.
