The Astoria football

ing streak the week before,
and now the Fishermen are
working on a win streak,
following a 36-7 Cowapa
League victory Friday night
at Milwaukie.

2-1 in league.
Milwaukie had a rough
start in Friday’s game, with
turnovers on each of its
fi rst three possessions. That
helped Astoria to a 16-0
lead, with T.J. Colvin and
Moore scoring touchdowns.
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.
Astoria stuff ed the Mil-
waukie off ense in the fi nal
two quarters, and the Mus-
tangs could not stop Moore.
