THE DAILY ASTORIAN • WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 2016 SPORTS 7A Astoria teams roll at Tillamook By GARY HENLEY The Daily Astorian TILLAMOOK — The once-proud basketball tradi- tion at Tillamook has fallen on hard times, while the Astoria Fishermen continue to climb the ladder of the 4A boys bas- ketball ranks. Astoria improved to 6-1 in league play Tuesday night, with a 60-41 win over the winless Cheesemakers (0-7). The Astoria Lady Fishermen defeated Tillamook (49-34, story below), as the Chee- semaker basketball teams are now a combined 1-13 in league play. The Astoria boys are ranked No. 8 in the latest OSAA rankings, behind No. 2 Seaside and No. 6 Scap- poose. The Gulls and Indi- ans are both behind the Fish- ermen in the Cowapa League standings. Astoria shot 78 percent from the ¿eld in the ¿rst Tuar- ter in Tuesday’s win, for a 25-8 lead after one. Derek Jarrett and Kyle Strange had 17 points apiece and Justin Fruiht added 10 for the Fishermen, who host Scappoose Friday.

Seaside plays at Valley Catholic Thursday (moved from Friday). Columbians 60, Warriors 38 WARRENTON — Rainier broke open a close game just before halftime on its way to a 60-38 win on Senior Night at Warrenton Tuesday.

The Columbians were in early foul trouble, as they had seven fouls with 1:09 left in the ¿rst Tuarter. Rainier’s Patrick Han- sen scored 12 of his game- high 22 points in the second period, and teammate Aaron Avery scored all 15 of his points in the third, helping turn a 26-21 lead into a 49-23 lead midway through the sec- ond half.

Loggers 68, Falcons 37 PORTLAND — The Knappa Loggers were back to looking like the Knappa Log- gers Tuesday, as they soared past Faith Bible 68-37 in a Northwest League game. It was the ¿nal regular sea- son game for Knappa, which snapped a two-game losing skid and moved into fourth- place in the standings.

Girls Basketball Astoria 49, Tillamook 34 TILLAMOOK — The Astoria Lady Fishermen rallied from a brief defi- cit in the first half to score a 49-34 win at Tillamook in a Cowapa League girls game Tuesday. Astoria out-rebounded Til- lamook 49-22, and the Lady Fish had a solid night offen- sively, hitting 14-of-56 shots from the ¿eld and 19-of-37 at the free throw line, to Tilla- mook’s 5-of-18. Astoria’s Chloee Hunt tossed in a game-high 21 points, while Taylor Mickle added 11.

Columbians 55, Warriors 38 WARRENTON — Rain- ier took advantage of a rough start for Warrenton Tuesday night in a 55-38 win for the Columbians. Rainier led 12-0 before the Warriors scored their ¿rst points on two free throws by Elle Schenbeck with 35 sec- onds left in the ¿rst Tuarter. The Warriors were just 3-of-19 from the ¿eld in the ¿rst half, with 18 turnovers. Still, Warrenton managed to close within 24-15 early in the third period, as Landree Miethe hit a 3-pointer, then delivered a pass to herself off the backboard for another two. A trey from Rachel Dyer had Warrenton within 30-23, but that’s as close as the War- riors could come. Rainier went on an 11-2 run to close the third period, and the Warriors struggled from the 3-point line the rest of the way, ¿nishing 3-for-23. Rainier had to overcome early foul trouble, as the Colum- bians had seven fouls with 2:12 left in the ¿rst Tuarter.
