Halbrook Stars For Beavers In PCC Playoffs
Wade Halbrook, 7-foot center from Portland's Lincoln High, faced harsh early criticism after a rough start for Oregon State in the PCC playoff opener at LBCC. He settled in, scoring six field goals and grabbing four rebounds, while drawing defense from USC’s Roy Tevin, helping OSU gain momentum. Coach Gil and Twogood defended his role, noting a 7-footer forces coverage and can unlock others, with Halbrook key to OSU’s potential PCC title run.
