Harber threw six no-hit innings of relief to help the Ducks
post their third come-from-behind victory this season, 3-1,
over New Mexico State in Oregon’s home opener at PK Park

It was the second time in two weeks the Ducks planned to
throw Harber (2-0) in relief of Cole Irvin.

CLATSKANIE — The Scappoose
and Seaside boys basketball teams met
for the fourth time this season Tuesday
night, in a Cowapa League tie-breaker
at Clatskanie for the No. 1 seed to the
state playoffs.
And for the third time (and the sec-
ond on a neutral court), the Indians
won, this time a 61-50 decision over
the Gulls.
Seaside came in riding the momen-
tum of a last-second win at Tillamook,
but the magic wasn’t working for the
Gulls in their fourth game against
Scappoose.
The Indians answered a 4-0 deficit
to start the game with a 10-0 run, and
never trailed after that.
With the win, Scappoose will bypass
the Regional Play-In round, and will
host a lower-seeded team in a Sweet 16
playoff March 6, while the Gulls return
to action Friday (opponent to be deter-
mined).
Seaside nearly overcame a 29-20
halftime deficit, with baskets by Hunter
Thompson, Jackson Januik and Jaxson
Smith in the third quarter, bringing the
Gulls to within 36-34.
Scappoose answered with a pair of
3-pointers from Chase Johnson and Ja-
cob Wendelschafer in the final seconds
of the third to give the Indians a 44-36
going into the fourth quarter.
The Gulls normally play their best
when they’re behind, and in fact cut the
Scappoose lead to 54-48 on a Januik
jump shot with 2:30 left.
But the Indians did just enough to
keep the lead, knocking down free
throws to cement the victory. Johnson
led a trio of players in double figures
with 17.
Wendelschafer and Reed Johnson
both scored 11, off-setting 24 points by
Januik.
GIRLS BASKETBALL
Banks 43, Astoria 25
BANKS — They had to work and
scrap for every point, but the Banks
Braves finally held off Astoria for a
closer-than-it-looked, 43-25 win Tues-
day night, in a Cowapa League girls
basketball playoff.
The Lady Fish were playing their
game — low-scoring with lots of de-
fense and forced turnovers.
And it was working … for a while.
Astoria was within 31-24 midway

through the fourth quarter, when Banks
junior JoJo Wren hit a 3-pointer that
sparked a 12-0 run for the Braves.
“We got within seven points with
four minutes left, and I thought we
were going to be able to make a run, but
we couldn’t get over the hump,” said
Astoria coach Mike Jacobson.
Astoria lost Chloee Hunt and Ash-
lee Dalton to fouls in the final quar-
ter (Hunt had three fouls at halftime),
and the Braves finally wore down a
short-handed Astoria team.
Banks improves to 15-11 overall and
earns the Cowapa’s No. 3 seed.
Astoria drops to 10-16, and may get
left out of the Regional Play-in round
as a result of their RPI.
The Lady Fishermen scored five
points in each of the first three quar-
ters, while Banks scored eight in each
of the first three and led 24-15 going
into the fourth.
After Wren hit a 3-pointer to give
the Braves a 27-17 advantage, Kaylee
Mitchell made four straight free throws,
Dalton added a pair of foul shots, and
Rylee DeMander scored on a layup to
bring Astoria to within 31-24.
Wren answered with the trey, and
the Braves made their free throws down
the stretch to pull away.
DeMander and Mitchell both scored
nine points for Astoria, which has not
beaten Banks since Feb. 9, 2010.
Banks has won 12 straight vs. the
Lady Fish, including three games this
year by scores 44-26, 43-13 and 43-25.
“Chloee Hunt maybe played 12
minutes at the most due to foul trouble
and then fouling out early in the fourth
quarter,” said Jacobson, who “really
felt bad for her, considering the fouls
that were called on her. There was no
consistency with the officials in the
game for either team.
“So when your leading scorer and
rebounder is out most of the game, it
hurts us in every aspect of the game
itself,” he said. “I thought with all the
injuries and sickness that we dealt with
this year that the kids played hard and
pushed through it as well as any team
that we have coached in the past.”
In addition to Hunt and Dalton
finishing the game on the bench with
fouls, the Fishermen were without
Mykka Abrahams, Taylor Mickle and
Kaisa Israel, all out with illness or in-
juries.
