Warrenton win streak over The Daily Astorian ARRENTON — Warrenton’s eight-game win W streak came crashing to the floor Tuesday night on the Warriors’ home court. Hosting Rainier in a big Lewis & Clark League showdown, the Warriors were held to a season low in points, while the No. 4-ranked Columbians did just enough for a 40-25 win. Rainier zipped out to a 28-10 halftime lead behind 11 first half points from Desirae Hansen. The Columbians went cold in the second half, however, as Warrenton crawled back to within 30-18 entering the final quarter. But Rainier shut down Warrenton’s normally high-powered offense, forcing 19 Warrenton turn- overs and holding the Warriors to just 7-for-44 from the field, 4-of-24 from the 3-point line. Hansen finished with 17 points, while Fernanda Alvarez led the Warriors with eight. Columbians cruise past Warrenton boys The Daily Astorian WARRENTON — Two teams looking to reverse their fortunes in the second half of the league season met on the court Tuesday night in Warren- ton, where Rainier posted a 43-29 win over the Warriors in a Lewis & Clark League boys basketball game. Rainier’s lead reached 34-15 late in the third quarter, before the War- riors went on an 11-2 run to start the fourth, climbing to within 37-28. Dawson Carr pumped in 16 points to lead the Columbians, who improve to 3-6 in league. Ayden Stephens and Logan Fischer scored eight points apiece for the Warriors (0-9). Colin Murphey/The Daily Astorian Jake Morrow makes a move to the basket for the Warrenton Warriors. Knappa Loggers cruise past Life Christian, 73-39 The Daily Astorian KNAPPA — Knappa built a 31-point halftime lead on its way to an easy 73-39 win over Life Christian in a Northwest League boys basketball game Tuesday. Dale Takalo scored 13 of his 30 points in the first quarter, as the Loggers scored at will in building a 30-8 lead after one period. Dale Takalo finished with 30, and Eli Takalo added 14 for the No. 3-ranked Loggers. WSU QB Hilinski dies in apparent suicide Associated Press PULLMAN, Wash. — Washing- ton State quarterback Tyler Hilinski has died from an apparently self-in- flicted gunshot wound, police said. The 21-year-old Hilinski was dis- covered in his apartment after he didn’t show up for practice Tuesday. A rifle “was recovered next to Hil- inski and a suicide note was found,” according to the Pullman Police Department. “We are deeply saddened to hear the news of Tyler’s passing,” Wash- ington State coach Mike Leach said in a statement. “He was an incredible young man and everyone who had the privilege of knowing him was better for it. The entire WSU community mourns as thoughts and prayers go out to his family.” Hilinski was the presumptive starting quarterback going into next season. He started Washington State’s Holiday Bowl loss to Michigan State after senior Luke Falk was unable to play due to a wrist injury. “The tragic news today surround- ing Tyler Hilinski is devastating to all. Tyler was a tremendous individ- ual, great friend and teammate, and he will be deeply missed. Our hearts go out to his family and friends,” interim athletic director John John- son said. “Earlier tonight, the foot- ball team was brought together and informed of the tragedy. There, they were met by campus and department counseling and psychological ser- vices, including athletics’ on-staff clinical psychologist and a licensed mental health counselor, along with WSU Athletics medical team. The university will continue to coordi- nate and provide ongoing counseling care for all student-athletes as long as needed.” SEASIDE — Seaside snapped a five-game losing streak and scored over 30 points for the first time in almost a month Tuesday night, in a 38-25 win over visiting Scappoose in a Cowapa League girls basket- ball opener. The Lady Gulls outscored the Indians 14-2 in a decisive third quarter, and Seaside held off a Scappoose rally in the fourth. Annaka Garhofer was 3-of-9 from the 3-point line and scored 12 points to lead the Gulls. Teammate Bryre Babbitt added nine points and 10 rebounds. “Feels good to get a win,” said Seaside coach Mike Hawes. “We had some solid play from lots of kids, and finally scored a few points from Annaka and Bryre.” The Gulls were 14-of-48 from the field, 6-for-20 at the free throw line. ASTORIA Valley Catholic escapes Astoria The Daily Astorian The Astoria boys basket- ball team held a two-point lead at halftime against the state’s third- ranked team Tuesday night at the Brick House. But Valley Catholic responded by outscoring the Fishermen 17-6 in the third quarter and posting a 58-51 win in a Cowapa League opener. “We competed, and I was really happy with the way we played,” said Astoria coach Kevin Goin. “It was good to see us making improvements. We put up some points and had three players in dou- ble figures. But we had a hard time stopping their big guy (6-foot-6 Ben Robbins), and Valley Cath- olic did a nice job making their free throws in the fourth quarter (11-for-12).” Robbins led all scorers with 22 points, while Karsten Johnson scored 14 points to lead the Fish- ermen. Astoria teammates Josh Olson and Ian Hunt added 13 points apiece. Astoria hosts Seaside in a Clat- sop Clash matchup Friday. Valley Catholic girls win league opener at Astoria The Daily Astorian Junior Callie Kawaguchi poured in a game-high 29 points to lead Valley Catholic to a 53-41 win over Astoria in a Cowapa League girls basketball game Tuesday night at the Brick House. Sam Hemsley countered with 24 points for Astoria, which drops to 8-6 overall, 0-1 in the Cowapa League. The Fishermen will look to rebound Friday at home versus Seaside.
