Astoria girls score win over Valiants
By GARY HENLEY
The Daily Astorian
Astoria swim coach Amy Emmett
is ¿nding places for her swimmers,
and the swimmers are ¿nding their
places, as the season enters the ¿nal
month before districts.
The Astoria swim team hosted
Valley Catholic for a Cowapa League
dual meet Thursday at the Astoria
ATuatic Center, where the Fishermen
and Valiants each had a win in the
team standings.
Valley Catholic scored a narrow
89-76 victory over the Astoria boys,
while the Lady Fishermen racked up
109 points in their win over the Val-
iants (47).
“,¶m hoping we don¶t have any
more bad weather or sickness,” Em-
mett said. “We lost one meet (off the
schedule) and haven¶t seen a few
teams this year. So we have a hard
time knowing Tuite how we stack up.
“And ,¶m still playing with
events,” she said. “,¶m not sure what
events the kids will be swimming,
once we get to the end. Some of my
new kids don¶t like the events they¶re
in, but if they can do them, that¶s
where they¶ll swim, because we need
the points.”
The Astoria girls won eight of the
11 events, with two victories apiece
from Ashley Schacher (50-yard free-
style and 100-yard butterÀy) and 0egan
Sparks (100-yard freestyle and 100-yard
backstroke). They also both swam legs
on the winning 200-yard medley relay
and 200-yard freestyle relay.
Elsewhere, 0egan Schacher won
the 200-yard individual medley, and
Kendal *ustafson ¿nished ¿rst in the
100-yard breaststroke.
Olivia Paul was also part of both
winning relays.
On the boys¶ side, it was Valley
Catholic winning 10 of the 11 events.
The lone Astoria victory came
from Jacob Hulti in the 100 free-
style (56.48 seconds). The Fishermen
picked up points with second-place
¿nishes, including Joshua Shipley

KNAPPA — The Knappa Log
gers took down another challenge
Thursday night, with a 49-38 win
over Faith Bible, in a Northwes
League boys basketball game.
The Falcons had hopes of an
upset early, leading 26-23 at half
time, before the Loggers found
a rhythm in the second half and
outscored Faith Bible 26-12 ove
the ¿nal two Tuarters.
“We just had trouble putting
the ball in the basket,” Knappa
coach Chris Spencer said. “They
were giving us problems with
their 3-2 zone, and just making i
dif¿cult for us to score. They¶re a
good team.”
Knappa¶s depth, however, “¿
nally started wearing them down
in the second half,” he said.
Dale Takalo scored 11 of hi
game-high 24 points in the fourth
Tuarter, while Colton Weirup ¿n
ished with 12 points.
The Loggers were 15-of-23 a
the free-throw line.

“Jacob Hulti is trying to get his
times down to make the top six in the
100 and the 50, and he¶s close,” Em-
mett said.
Astoria swims in a three-way dual
meet next Thursday at Seaside.
