he 6-foot-8 junior post had a
big week in the scoring column.
In a 53-25 win over Neah-Kah-Nie
Monday, Morrill led the Loggers
with 24 points. One night later at
Warrenton, he scored 15 second
half points and fi nished with 23,
helping Knappa rally for a 48-36 win.
His presence in the middle gives
the Loggers a big rebounder, shot
blocker and shot changer that most
teams at the 2A do not have — and
will make Knappa a power at the 2A
level this year and next.
he senior guard broke the Ilwaco
single game scoring record twice
in one week. Glenn, committed to
play next season at Western Oregon
University, scored 58 points in a 90-67
win over Rainier in the district 2B
tournament. She also scored a school
record 47 points in a 77-32 victory
at Chief Leschi. Glenn opened the
tournament Monday by scoring 32
points in a 68-34 win over Winlock.
The previous Ilwaco record was held
by Lindsay Ramsey, 43 points vs.
Adna, Feb. 11, 1999.

The Vernonia Lady Log-
gers continued their per-
fect season with another win
Wednesday night, a 40-24
victory at Knappa, in a North-
west League girls basketball
Logger showdown.
With three games remain-
ing, Vernonia improved to 6-0
overall, 5-0 in league games.
Knappa (2-5) has three of
its fi nal four games on the road.
After a 7-0 run mid-
way through the fi rst half of
Wednesday’s game, Knappa
held a slim 11-10 lead, fol-
lowing a close range shot
from Gabriella Morrill.
But two free throws from
Vernonia’s Audrey Hill
sparked an 8-0 run and Ver-
nonia did not trail again.
Vernonia senior Jayden
Hartman led all scorers with
17 points followed by Brook-
lynn Walters with 11. Hannah
Dietrichs had seven points
and Vicki Ramvick added six
for Knappa.

Astoria
snapped
a
13-game losing streak in
Cowapa League play with
a solid 56-41 boys basket-
ball win Wednesday night
over Tillamook at the Brick
House.
It was the fi rst victory in
league play for the Fishermen
since Feb. 7, 2019, (a 42-38
win at Tillamook).
“We defi nitely rebounded
better, it felt like we shot the
ball better, the ball movement
was good … I was just real
happy — it was a nice team
eff ort,” said Astoria coach
Kevin Goin.
After trailing 10-4 early,
Astoria went on a 26-10 run
to close the fi rst half, with
a pair of Colton McMaster
3-pointers highlighting a 13-2
second quarter run.
McMaster fi nished with
a game-high 23 points, and
Xander Marincovich had
nine of his 14 points in the
fi rst half.
“I think Colton is just
fi nally rounding into basket-
ball form,” Goin said. “He
had a long track season, but
he’s been working hard.”
