ry Tuesday night, as they topped
Sutherlin 42-30, in a boys semi-
¿nal game oI the 9ince 'ulcich
Tournament.
The 47th annual tourney at
the Brick House concludes to-
night Zith Astoria Iacing San-
dy in the boys’ championship
game, Zhich Zill tip oII around
9 p.m.
Sutherlin and Astoria will

p.m., as Astoria basketball will
look to make it a Fishermen
sweep in the ¿nals.
The Fishermen boys will
bring a 6-1 record into their ti-
tle contest. Needless to say, it’s
been a while since Astoria has
seen 6-1 to start a season ¿rst
time this century, at least).
³The big diIIerence is that
we’re ¿nishing games,´ said
Astoria coach Kevin Goin. “In
the past, we struggled to take
care oI leads. Now we’re learn-
ing and growing inch by inch,
and learning how to play with
a lead. We struggled with some
decision-making in the Iourth
quarter tonight, but that’s to be
expected when you just haven’t
been in those situations a lot.´
The game was tied 6-6, be-
Iore the Fishermen went on a
22- run to close the ¿rst halI.
Kyle Strange had a 3-point-
er to start the run, and added a
trey in the second period. 'erek
Jarrett scored on a put-back, and
FridtjoI Fremstad’s layup in the
closing seconds gave Astoria a
2-14 halItime lead.
The Fishermen were 11-oI-
21 Irom the ¿eld in the ¿rst halI,
while Sutherlin ¿nished 2-oI-1
Irom the 3-point line.
Astoria’s Jackson ArnsdorI
came oII the bench Ior Iour
points in the third quarter, in-
cluding a tip-in at the buzzer,
Iollowing a missed shot.
“I wanted to get him some
more minutes, because I noticed
that when he’s in there, good
things happen,´ Goin said oI
ArnsdorI.
Strange led Astoria with 14
points, Iollowed by Fremstad
with nine.
