ATHLETES OF THE WEEK
VICTORIA
RAMVICK
Knappa
ROCKY RUB BO WILLIAMS
Astoria
I
n a one-week span, Knappa volleyball won two of three matches, and nar-
rowly missed beating 3A power Warrenton, losing in fi ve. Against Nestucca,
the Loggers came back from a 2-0 defi cit and won in fi ve, with Ramvick post-
ing a career-high 13 kills with seven digs. A senior, Ramvick had 15 kills in a
loss at Warrenton, then fi nished her week with 11 kills and three blocks to beat
Neah-Kah-Nie, for 39 kills in three matches.
A
storia’s “Rocky & Bo Show” at quarterback gave Fishermen football their
fi rst win since 2018, 38-13 over Tillamook March 12. Williams started and
completed 8-of-12 passes with two touchdowns. Rub came on in relief and led
Astoria in rushing yards. The two combined for 211 yards in total off ense and
completed 11-of-19 passes for 135 yards and three touchdowns.
Knappa volleyball team outlasts Vernonia in fi ve sets
The Astorian
For the fourth time in six matches,
the Knappa volleyball team had to
go fi ve sets before a winner was
decided.
And for the second time, Knappa
was the winner, as the Lady Log-
gers won the “Logger Showdown”
Thursday with a fi ve-set win at Ver-
nonia, 25-21, 28-26,
16-25, 21-25, 15-11.
The victory avenges
a fi ve-set loss to Verno-
nia to open the season
March 2.
With wins in sets
three and four in Thurs-
day’s match, Vernonia had the
momentum before Knappa closed
out Game 5 with a little
momentum swing of its
own.
“The fi fth game of
volleyball can go either
way,” said Knappa
coach Jeff Kaul. “Much
of it determines who has
the momentum and the best
team chemistry at the start of the last
game, and this time the scales tipped
in Knappa’s favor.”
Knappa built a 13-11 lead in the
fi fth set, and even a Vernonia time-
out did not help the home team, as
Knappa took the fl oor and quickly
scored the fi nal two points for the
win.
Hannah Dietrichs led the off ense
with 15 kills while Victoria Ram-
vick fi nished with 14 kills and eight
blocks. Ava Skipper added 23 assists
and 12 digs and Ashley Feldscher
was 19-for-19 at the service line.
Knappa plays a nonleague match
Monday at Seaside.
In other volleyball action Thurs-
day, Valley Catholic swept Seaside,
25-9, 25-6, 25-11. Astoria at Banks
was canceled.

MTC’s annual Celebrating Excellence Program provides an opportunity for staff to recognize their peers - those employees who exhibit
outstanding performance, go beyond what is expected of them, and do whatever it takes to make a positive difference. This past year was like
no other, and all our staff deserve to be celebrated for their innovativeness and flexibility. To honor all our heroes on site, a virtual awards show
spotlighted our winners across campus in socially-distanced viewing parties. Some site hosts ran with the theme by adding props and wearing
glamorous gowns, while others just appreciated celebrating their peers. Either way, Tongue Point Job Corps Center is proud to say,
WE HAVE THE BEST STAFF!
