Ramsey’s record shooting night lifts Warrenton girls past Riverdale By GARY HENLEY The Daily Astorian W ARRENTON — The Warrenton girls basketball team took advan- tage of “Can’t-Miss Kenzie” and a bunch of Riverdale turnovers to post an impressive 68-25 win Friday night, helping the Lady Warriors move one step closer to locking up a third-place finish in the Lewis & Clark League. Warrenton improved to 10-4, one game ahead of De La Salle (9-5) with two games remaining. The Warriors play Tuesday at Port- land Christian (4-10), while De La Salle hosts Clatskanie (13-1). Sparking Warrenton in Friday’s win was a sophomore off the bench, Kenzie Ramsey. The 5-foot-5 wing made two 3-pointers late in the first quarter to pretty much secure the win, giving the Warriors a 25-4 lead. And Ramsey was just getting started, as she entered “The Zone.” She had a string of four more 3-pointers in the second period, finishing the first half 6-for-7 from the 3-point line, resulting in a 41-12 War- renton lead. After a couple of misses in the third quar- ter, Ramsey heated up and drained two back- to-back treys in the fourth, finishing with eight 3-pointers to break the school record of seven held by Tyla Little and Brooklyn Campbell. “It was unreal,” Warrenton coach Robert Hoepfl said of Ramsey’s night. “She’s a great shooter, and we’ve known that all season. Her first (3-pointer) was three or four feet behind the line. When it’s going good, it’s going good.” Ramsey added a free throw to finish with 25 points off the bench. Fernanda Alvarez scored points in every quarter and was 4-for-4 at the free throw line for 14 points, and Little added 11. “That was one of the most enjoyable games I’ve coached in years,” Hoepfl said. “We had everybody contributing. Tyla had six or seven steals, Claire Bussert had eight assists, and Fernanda finished with 10 rebounds for a double-double.” Riverdale had 30 turnovers, 18 in the first half. Warrenton improves to 17-5 overall, the most victories the Warriors have had since back-to-back 27-win seasons in 2009-10 and 2010-11. Riverdale outlasts Warrenton boys WARRENTON — Warrenton scored the first two points of the game, but Riverdale scored the next nine, on its way to a 45-29 win over the Warriors in a Lewis & Clark League boys basketball game Friday. The points were hard to come by all night for Warrenton, which had just 10 points at half- time, and only three players made field goals the entire first half. Still, the Warriors’ defense made it a diffi- cult night for the Mavericks. Riverdale led just 24-17 going into the final quarter, then nearly doubled their points by outscoring Warrenton 21-12 in the fourth. Dalton Knight led the Warriors with eight points, all in the second half. Whit Horning had 14 points for Riverdale, which was 18-for-36 at the free throw line. Valley Catholic Valiants top Astoria girls BEAVERTON — In a back-and-forth game in Beaverton, Valley Catholic came out on top in a 54-45 win over Astoria in a Cowapa League girls basketball game Friday. Astoria led 16-10 after one quarter, before the Valiants responded with a 24-7 run in the second period for a 34-23 halftime lead. The Lady Fishermen bounced back in the third quarter and pulled to within 40-35 head- ing into the fourth. But Astoria had no answers for Valley Cath- olic senior Noelle Mannen, who finished with a game-high 36 points for the Valiants. Mannen had just a combined seven points in the first and third quarters, but scored 29 of her points in the second and fourth. “Too many turnovers and not helping out with Mannen hurt us,” said Astoria coach Mike Jacobson. Astoria rallied to within two points in the fourth quarter, but could get no closer. “McKailyn (Rogers) played great off the bench, as well as Halle (Helmersen), Sophie (Long) and Kajsa (Jackson),” Jacobson said. “Got to get ready for a big game Tuesday vs. Seaside.” The Fishermen and Gulls are tied for third in the league standings at 3-3. Valiants on target in win over Astoria boys BEAVERTON — A flurry of 3-pointers in the first quarter helped Valley Catholic post an early 20-4 lead Friday night, and the Valiants went on to a 60-33 win over Astoria in a Cow- apa League boys basketball game. Valley Catholic made four treys in the open- ing period, before the Fishermen played evenly with the Valiants in the second quarter. Valley Catholic pulled away in the third, however, with a 21-9 run. Peter Boileau hit four 3-pointers and scored 14 points for Valley Catholic, and teammate Andrew Plambeck made three 3-pointers and led the Valiants with 15 points. Ian Hunt and Ryan Stenblom scored nine points apiece for Astoria, which plays Tuesday at Seaside. Seaside girls score win at Scappoose SCAPPOOSE — Seaside held off a big rally by Scappoose to beat the Indians 41-38 in a Cowapa League girls basketball game Fri- day night. The Gulls improved to 3-3 in league, while Scappoose — jumping up to the 5A level next year — dropped to 1-5. Seaside posted a 23-16 halftime lead, and led 38-27 going into the final quarter. “The girls came out and were ready to play,” said Seaside coach Mike Hawes. “Bryre Babbitt got us off to a great start and pushed the lead to a large enough margin to hang on.” The Indians outscored the Gulls 11-3 in the fourth period, and closed to within 39-38 with 10 seconds left. But, “Jetta (Ideue) hit two free throws and we held on,” Hawes said. “Solid game from lots of girls. With the exception of the second half at Banks, we’ve come a long ways. We’ll see if we can win one at home this week that we’re not supposed to.” Babbitt and Ideue scored 12 points apiece to lead Seaside, with Ideue adding six steals and four assists. Scappoose upsets No. 2- ranked Seaside boys SCAPPOOSE — Unlike games in most leagues, there are no “sure things” or nights off in Cowapa League boys basketball. The Seaside Gulls discovered that Friday night at Scappoose, where the Indians (with a 1-4 league record) topped the No. 2-ranked Gulls 48-45 in Cowapa League action. Still missing leading scorer Chase Januik and Beau Johnson from the lineup, Seaside led until the final minute, when Scappoose play- ers Bradley Verbout and Chris Bendle com- bined to make three free throws in the final 10 seconds to help the Indians win. A last-second 3-pointer by the Gulls was off the mark. It was the second straight loss for Seaside, the first back-to-back defeats for the Gulls since 2015-16. Ryan Hague scored 18 points to lead Sea- side. Payton Westerholm tossed in 16 points with nine rebounds before fouling out late in the game. Bendle scored 20 to lead the Indians. Knappa boys pound Nestucca, 55-36 KNAPPA — Third-ranked Knappa held off Nestucca 55-36 Saturday in Northwest League boys basketball action. Dale Takalo scored 19 points to lead a trio of players in double figures for the Loggers, who built a 28-15 halftime lead. Colton Wei- rup had 14 points and Eli Takalo added 12 for Knappa. The Loggers host Columbia Christian Tues- day, a team that Knappa could play as many as three times after Tuesday’s regular sea- son finale. Should the teams finish tied in the league standings, they would have a tie-breaker for the league championship, followed by another meeting for the league’s No. 1 seed in the league playoffs, and a possible meeting in the state tournament. Nestucca tops Knappa girls, 35-30 KNAPPA — Nestucca scored over half its points in the first quarter, on its way to a 35-30 win at Knappa in a Saturday afternoon North- west League girls basketball game. The Bobcats led 19-8 after one period. The Loggers held Nestucca to just 16 points the remainder of the game, but Knappa could not make up the difference in the loss. Paris Vanderburg led the Lady Loggers with 15 points and nine rebounds. Aiko Miller tossed in five points with six boards. Knappa falls to 2-19 overall, but the Loggers can still make the league playoffs with a win Tuesday over Columbian Christian.
