Junction City sophomore Cienna Hartle scored 23 points Tuesday to lead the Tigers to a 58-41 Sky-Em League girls basketball victory over the Siuslaw Vikings on senior recognition night at Glenn Butler Court.

The Lady Vikings finished their season 0-10 in league and 1-23 overall.

The Lady Tigers, 7-3 and 13-11, advance to the three-team playoff for the league's No. 2 automatic qualifying berth at state.

Sky-Em champion Cottage Grove advances as the league's No. 1 seed.

Tuesday was the final game in a Vikings basketball uniform for Lindsey Long, Savannah Morris, Mia Collins, Kelsey Larson, Brooklyn Cahoon and Brittany Rodriguez.

Morris led the Vikings with 14 points while Collins had 10 points to go with 8 rebounds.

In other league games, Marist Catholic won at Cottage Grove, 34-31, and Marshfield rallied to beat visiting Elmira, 32-26, to clinch a league playoff spot.

Friday, Junction City hosts Marshfield in a playoff game between the third- and fourth-place league finishers. The winner of that game plays Saturday at Marist Catholic for the Sky-Em's No. 2 automatic qualifying berth.

Cottage Grove has the first of two automatic qualifying berths as league champion.
