Seaside’s Holiday Classic tournament was
a classic one for Corbett High School, which
left the coast with two team championships.
Shortly after Corbett defeated Asto-
ria 42-31 in the girls’ title game, the Cardi-
nal boys shocked Seaside 46-41 in the boys’
championship Saturday night — the fi rst
time since 2017 that the Gulls have lost a
game in their own tournament.
Corbett senior and tournament Most
Valuable Player Joe Fundak scored 21 points
in the fi nal, one day after scoring 34 in a vic-
tory over Astoria.
The Cardinals built a 16-9 lead midway
through the second quarter, but — as they
have all season — Seaside answered right on
cue with a 10-0 run, highlighted by scores
from Conner Langmo, Cash Corder and
Austin Palmer.
Seaside’s Riley Wunderlich hit a 3-pointer
to close the fi rst half, Corder drained a
3-pointer in the third quarter for a 31-25
advantage, and Carson Kawasoe’s trey had
the Gulls in front 34-32 early in the fourth.
That’s about where the highlights ended
for Seaside, as Corbett’s Lane Fort, Fundak
and Mykah Cummings had three straight
baskets, and the Cardinals never trailed
again.
Corbett was 6-for-9 at the free throw line
in the fi nal 2:30.
Warrenton wins Heppner tourney
The Warrenton boys basketball team will
continue to climb the Class 3A rankings, fol-
lowing two wins Friday and Saturday in the
Heppner tournament.
Warrenton opened play Friday with a
46-43 victory over Heppner, followed by a
41-38 decision over Weston-McEwen in the
championship game Saturday.
In the girls’ side of the tournament, War-
renton lost close games against Heppner (36-
29) and Weston-McEwen (38-33).
Knappa 78, Pilot Rock 25
With a victory over current No. 1-ranked
Kennedy earlier in the season, the Knappa
Loggers are quickly closing in on the top
spot in 2A boys basketball with another easy
win Friday night, 78-25 over Pilot Rock.
The Loggers — who gained three fi rst-
place votes in the coaches poll — are ranked
sixth in the latest OSAA rankings.
Corbett wins girls’ title
Before Corbett won the boys’ champion-
ship game, Corbett’s fi rst title in the Seaside
Holiday Classic was provided by the Lady
Cardinals, who scored a 42-31 win over
Astoria in the girls’ fi nal Saturday.
After opening with a 49-37 win over Her-
itage, the Lady Fishermen won a low-scor-
ing semifi nal Friday over Cottage Grove,
38-22.
Astoria had all the points it would need
after just one quarter against the Lions, as
the Lady Fish held a 23-11 lead after eight
minutes.
Freshman Shelby Bruney scored 18 of
her game-high 20 points in the fi rst half,
with freshman Malory Dundas adding seven
points for Astoria, which the Lions to just 11
points over the fi nal three quarters.
Madras 73, Astoria 68
In the third-place boys game — and most
exciting contest — of the Holiday Clas-
sic, Madras defeated Astoria 73-68 in dou-
ble-overtime Saturday afternoon.
The Fishermen built an 18-4 lead after
one quarter, and still led 46-38 going into the
fourth, when “Madras got hot, and started
making three’s,” said Astoria coach Kevin
Goin.
The White Buff aloes indeed hit four long
3-pointers in the fourth to force overtime,
which eventually came down to free throws.
Astoria had a chance to win in regulation but
missed a free throw.
The Fishermen had balanced scoring
from Colton McMaster (18), Owen Williams
(14) and Niko Boudreau (11), while Seneca
Ball had 20 to lead four Madras players in
double fi gures.
Cottage Grove 39, Seaside 30
Seaside’s Lilli Taylor led all players with
24 points, but it wasn’t enough as Cottage
Grove outscored the Gulls 16-7 in the sec-
ond half for a 39-30 win in the third place
game of the Seaside Holiday Classic.
Gracie Arnold scored 20 points for the
Lions, while just two other players had
points for Seaside (Aubrie Taylor and Abby
Nofi eld).
Lilli Taylor scored 14 points in a 54-30
loss to Corbett in the second round.
Gulls 55, Madras 35
The Gulls reached the championship
game with a 55-35 win late Friday night over
Madras.
Cash Corder scored 15 points and Conner
Langmo added 12 for the Gulls.
Knappa 46, Pilot Rock 41
Clutch 3-point shots from Knappa’s Syn-
nove Brown, Alondra Piña and Hadassah
Maher helped the Lady Loggers score a
46-41 win over visiting Pilot Rock Friday in
a nonleague girls basketball game.
Brown hit her 3-pointer in the fi nal sec-
onds of the fi rst half, Piña connected from
the 3-point line in the fi nal seconds of the
third quarter, and Maher’s trey gave Knappa
a 35-32 lead in the fourth quarter.
Corbett 65, Astoria 57
The Cardinals locked up their spot in the
title game with a 65-57 victory Friday over
Astoria.
The Fishermen took a 47-45 lead into
the fourth quarter, but Corbett rallied and
outscored Astoria 20-11 in the fi nal period,
behind a 34-point night from Joe Fundak.
