SPORTS THE DAILY ASTORIAN • WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 28, 2015 7A Loggers are red hot and rollin’ in NWL basketball By GARY HENLEY The Daily Astorian KNAPPA — The Northwest League’s big Tuesday night showdown turned out pretty much like all the rest involv- ing the Knappa boys basketball team — a blowout victory for the Loggers. Senior Tyson Burnard and freshman Dale Takalo com- bined for 45 points, and the Loggers stormed past Faith Bi- ble 66-48, as Knappa turned a close game at halftime into an- other easy win. ³:H ZHUH XS ¿YH DW KDOI- time (25-20), then came out in the third quarter, played an old-school man-to-man de- fense, and blew them out of the water,” said Knappa coach Chris Spencer. “We ran ’em out of gas, and they just couldn’t keep pace. We brought the subs in, and they kept it up. It was a team win.” Knappa has won six in a row, by an average of 19.0 points per game. Knappa (7-1 in league play) plays at Vernonia (5-2) Friday, before hosting Delphian (5-3) Saturday. Faith Bible was 8-for-20 from the 3-point line in Tues- day’s loss, but the Falcons were unable to match Knappa’s in- tensity, and had no answer for Justin Dragoo on the boards. Dragoo pulled down 19 re- bounds, including eight offen- sive boards. Offensively, Burnard poured in 26 points, while Takalo added 19, all in the sec- ond half.
