Astoria’s Michael Moore rushed for 174 yards on just 15 carries and scored Offer valid from March 12-April 10th, 2021 four touchdowns to lead the Fishermen, who improve to 2-1 in league.

Milwaukie intercepted a pair of Astoria passes and scored a touchdown midway through the second quar- ter, cutting Astoria’s lead to 16-7, but the Fishermen made a goal line stand late in the fi rst half, and that’s as close as the Mustangs would get.
