Rylan Murray had 20 points, 10 rebounds and four steals for Jewell, with Ben Stahly adding 12 points and 13 rebounds. “They shot a ton of free throws, and we didn’t make enough of ours,” said Jew- ell coach Mark Fick. “And we just didn’t make our lay- ins — we missed at least 25. But the kids are working hard. This one just got out of hand at the end.” THE DAILY ASTORIAN • FRIDAY, JANUARY 30, 2015 Poyer: He urges students to ‘dream big’ Continued from Page 1A Poyer began Thursday with an early morning talk to sixth-, sev- enth- and eighth-graders at Astoria Middle School; then he spoke with three different groups of kids at Lewis and Clark Elementary, fol- lowed by an afternoon assembly at Astoria High School, which was not mandatory, but still drew a large crowd. “For students who are doing very well, and don’t necessarily need an intervention to be successful, we’re trying to set up these assemblies, or things that we call ‘enrichments,’” Jackson said. “Today, it was Jordan Poyer.” And — although the assembly was optional for most juniors and seniors — “it was a pretty packed house,” he said. “Maybe 300, 400 kids. It was well-received with a lot of energy.” While most Astoria High School students have either heard of Poy- er or know him personally, “A lot of the grade school students didn’t know who I was, but I was surprised at the amount who did know,” said Poyer, a 2009 graduate of AHS. “I got a lot of funny questions over there. Once they saw the highlight ¿OPWKH\NLQGRIUHDOL]HGµKHSOD\V big-time football,’ and they tuned in a little.” Poyer’s message was an inspira- tional one, to “dream big,” he said. “Just because you’re from Astoria doesn’t mean that you can’t make it in the big city.” After leading Astoria High to its ¿UVW IRRWEDOO VWDWH FKDPSLRQVKLS LQ 2008, Poyer had four stellar years of IRRWEDOODW2UHJRQ6WDWHDQGMXVW¿Q- ished his second year in the NFL, his ¿UVWIXOO\HDUZLWKWKH%URZQVDIWHU being drafted by Philadelphia. “I’ve been wanting to do this for JOSHUA BESSEX — The Daily Astorian Jordan Poyer, cornerback for the Cleveland Browns and an alumnus of Astoria High School, gives a speech at AHS Thursday. A major theme of the speech was learning to take control of your actions. a long time,” he said, of talking with kids in his hometown. “I wanted to come back last year. At the time I really didn’t feel like I was at a lev- el where I felt comfortable, if that makes sense. “Yeah, I played one year in the NFL, but I wanted to make more of a statement,” he said. “I feel more comfortable talking with two years under my belt now.” In a small town where the heroes are even bigger, students were will- ing and excited to hear Poyer’s mes- sage, no matter how many years he’s played. Long lines of autograph seekers followed the visits to each school. “I was real nervous for the talk at the high school,” Poyer said, “but I felt like they wanted to hear what I had to say.” And each one of Poyer’s talks was followed by a short question-and-an- swer session. “I took a lot of questions,” he said. “I answered so many questions. I could stand up there for hours and answer questions. “I usually try to take 15 minutes, because it’s not every day that a stu- dent gets an NFL player in front of them and they can ask me whatever they want.” And three days before Super Bowl XLIX, and with the Seahawks playing in it, Poyer received “A lot of Seahawk questions. ‘Who do you want to win?’ ‘Who’s your favorite NFL team besides the Browns?’ … those types of questions. It was all good fun.” The Browns, in fact, will play a regular season game in Seattle next year, with the date and time still to be determined. “I’m pretty pumped up about that,” Poyer said. “Just being back in the Northwest and to be able to play in front of fans who I grew up play- ing in front of.” Likewise, local fans are always pumped up to see and hear every- thing they can about Jordan Poyer. Said Jackson, “He’s represented himself, his college and his profes- sion really well.” SCOREBOARD PREP SCHEDULE TODAY Boys Basketball — Astoria at Seaside, 5:30 p.m.; Oregon Episco- pal at Warrenton, 7:45 p.m.; Knappa at Vernonia, 7:45 p.m. Girls Basketball — Astoria at Sea- side, 7:15 p.m.; Oregon Episcopal at Warrenton, 6 p.m.; Knappa at Verno- nia, 6 p.m. SATURDAY Boys Basketball — Delphian at Knappa, 6:15 p.m.; Ilwaco at Life Christian, 7:30 p.m. Girls Basketball — Delphian at Knappa, 4:30 p.m.; Ilwaco at Life Christian, 5:45 p.m. 1605 SE Ensign Lane Warrenton, OR 503-861-1144 www.lumstoyota.com Wrestling — Brawl, 10 a.m. Ilwaco Beach BASKETBALL HIGH SCHOOLS Girls Livinstone 35, Jewell 34 LAA (35): Emillie Hathaway 20, Beaver 4, Forshee 4, Bumgarner 3, Thornton 2, Young 2.
