The Astoria Fishermen put
the clamps on Estacada Tuesday
night, with a strong defensive
effort leading to a 47-33 Astoria
win at the Brick House in a non-
league boys basketball game.
The home team trailed after
one quarter, 10-8, before the Fish-
ermen went on an 18-2 run in the
second quarter to take control.
“We struggled a little offen-
sively all night, but we had a pret-
ty good defensive effort,” said As-
toria coach Kevin Goin. “We ran
a 1-3-1 matchup, and (the Rang-
ers) seemed to struggle with it.”
Kyle Strange scored 16
points and Morgan Fruiht add-
ed 12 for the Fishermen, while
Kris Kelly had 12 for Estaca-
da, which remains the only
winless 4A boys team, at 0-10.

Marion Friday.

SEASIDE — Gladstone had
completed a second-half come-
back to beat Seaside Tuesday
night, 53-47, in a nonleague boys
basketball game at the Gulls’ Nest.
Seaside held a 39-30 lead
midway through the third quar-
ter, but “we hit a lull the last part
of the third, which lasted half-
way through the fourth,” said
Gulls’ coach Bill Westerholm.
Fifth-ranked Gladstone was
able to take a 48-46 lead with
under two minutes remaining
in the game, before a technical
foul on the Gladiators with 1:20
left gave Seaside a chance to tie.
But a missed free throw and
another miss on a good look at
the hoop allowed the Gladiators
to retake control.
Gladstone made free throws
down the stretch to extend the lead,
at the line, to Seaside’s 5-of-8.
Jackson Januik had 14 points
and Austin Eagon added 12
for the Gulls, while Andrew
Thompson had 14 for Gladstone,
followed by Handsome Smith
and Nick Brown with 10 apiece.

boys basketball game.

of the game, until a 3-pointer with
50 seconds left tied the game, and
a steal and layup by Gavon Mc-
Fadden with 25 seconds remain-
ing put Warrenton in front, 47-45.
The Warriors took a charge
with 10 seconds left, and Brock
Johnson made two free throws
for the four-point margin.
