Representatives from Asto-
ria Middle School received a
grant from the Portland Trail
Blazers and Wells Fargo at a
special presentation March 17
at the Moda Center.
The Trail Blazers Founda-
tion and Wells Fargo awarded
$110,000 in grants benefiting
hundreds of high risk and low-
and moderate-income students
at 24 schools in 19 rural and
urban cities across Oregon and
Southwest Washington.
Goin helped secure the grant.
Through their fourth
annual “Take It To the Court
for Education” program, the
Trail Blazers Foundation and
Wells Fargo distributed the
grant checks during a special
reception during the Detroit
vs. Portland basketball game.
Gohr was on hand at the
game to accept the check for
Astoria Middle School.
Teachers, school staff,
administrators, parents and
community members had sub-
mitted more than 300 applica-
tions in pursuit of grants for
their local schools. A com-
mittee of community lead-
ers managed the review pro-
cess to determine this year’s
winners.
“This is the culmina-
tion of an important part-
nership that has allowed the
Trail Blazers Foundation and
Wells Fargo to channel much-
needed dollars directly into
schools and classrooms,” said
Trail Blazers and Rose Quar-
ter President & CEO Chris
McGowan.
Baseball: Astoria blanks Yamhill-Carlton, 10-0
The Daily Astorian
Astoria scored nine runs in
the first inning on its way to
an easy 10-0 win over Yam-
hill-Carlton in a nonleague
baseball game Monday after-
noon at CMH Field, on Day
1 of Astoria’s spring break
tournament.
Pitcher Colby Junes tossed
a three-hit shutout, striking out
three Tigers with one walk. He
needed just 50 pitches to com-
plete the five-inning contest.
Trey Hageman led Astoria’s
10-hit attack, going 3-for-4
with a double and three RBIs.
Leadoff batter Dylan Rush was
2-for-2 and scored twice, and
Ephraim Tice added a double.
Tournament action con-
tinues today at 10 a.m. when
the Fishermen play South
Umpqua.
Astoria hosts a non-
league game Wednesday with
Naselle.
After struggling to score
runs in their first five games,
Astoria softball players
crossed the plate 15 times
Monday morning in a first-
round game of the Seaside
Spring Break tournament.
Astoria defeated Regis
15-5 in a game that was
played at Astoria’s CMH
Field. The remainder of the
tournament will be played
today at Seaside’s Broadway
Field, where the Lady Fish-
ermen are scheduled to play
Ilwaco at 5 p.m.
The 15 runs equaled the
combined total in Astoria’s
first five games, as the Lady
Fishermen improve to 1-5
overall.
In Monday’s win, Julia
Norris started in the cir-
cle and struck out the side
in each of the first three
innings.
Emma Biederman and
McKailyn Rogers came on
in relief, and Norris eventu-
ally came back and finished.
Norris also had a dou-
ble at the plate, as did soph-
omore Taileigh Cole in her
first at-bat of the season.
Irish dance back to Final Four
after beating Oregon 84-74

SPOKANE, Wash. —
Kathryn Westbeld scored
20 points, Jessica Shepard
added 18 and Notre Dame
reached the Final Four for
the eighth time in school
history by defeating Oregon
84-74 on Monday night.
Westbeld came up with
the biggest game of her
Notre Dame career despite
being slowed by an ankle
injury from the first round
of the NCAA Tournament.
Westbeld had scored a com-
bined 12 points in the pre-
vious four games, but she
teamed with Shepard for an
inside attack that hurt the
Ducks.
Westbeld made 9 of 12
shots. Notre Dame (33-3)
outscored Oregon 52-38 in
the paint and outrebounded
the Ducks 51-29 in the Spo-
kane Regional final.
Arike
Ogunbowale
added 19 points and Marina
Mabrey had 15 for the Irish.
Despite a handful of
costly injuries along the
way, the Irish are back in a
familiar spot in the national
semifinals. It’s the sixth
Final Four for Notre Dame
since 2011 and old friend
UConn awaits in the semis
Friday night in Columbus,
Ohio.
First-team all-American
Sabrina Ionescu led Ore-
gon (33-5) with 26 points,
but the Ducks struggled
offensively over the final 20
minutes.
