“The girls refocused and
had a much stronger second
quarter (going on a 12-2 run),
connecting on some nice
passes, and stepping up their
defensive pressure,” Brockey

a little tired, but they found
ways to keep the lead and

The Astorian
The Astoria boys bas-
ketball team rallied from
an 18-6 defi cit in the sec-

before Dayton scored on
an off ensive rebound bas-

36-34 victory Friday at the
Brick House.
Niko Boudreau and
Colton McMast er led Asto-
ria’s comeback over the

ria a 26-25 lead.
Dayton rallied and,
holding a 34-32 advantage
in the closing minute of the
fourth quarter and looking
to run time off the clock, a
Pirate pass was intercepted
by Astoria’s Bo Williams,
who drove the length of
the fl oor to tie the game at
34-34 with 30 seconds left.
The Pirates played for
