SPORTS
Astoria boys top
Coquille, 70-47
Holding a slim 41-35 lead late in the
third quarter, the Astoria boys basketball
team went on its biggest run of the season
on Dec. 22 in Tillamook, where the Fish-
ermen eventually scored a 70-47 win over
Coquille on the second day of the Roby’s
Classic.
Astoria was coming off a 65-55 loss to
Estacada the day before, and battled through
six lead changes with the sharp-shooting
Red Devils .
Tied 24-24 late in the fi rst half, the Fish-
ermen closed the second quarter with three
straight fastbreak scores from Judd Field
and Colton McMaster, and never trailed
again.
Astoria’s Owen Williams opened the
second half with two straight scores, and
the Fishermen threatened to break the game
open several times, if not for the 3-point
shooting of Coquille’s Gardner Scolari and
Hayden GeDeros, who combined for 10
3-pointers.
But Astoria caught fi re early in the fourth
quarter, and turned their 41-35 lead into a
63-40 advantage midway through the quar-
ter on back-to-back 3-pointers from Field
and Trey Woodrich.
Niko Boudreau led Astoria with 17
points, followed by Field with 15 and Wil-
liams with 14. McMaster scored 10 points
off the bench.
“Judd rebounded real well, Owen
stepped up and played great — he was
all-tournament, Niko played well in both
games, and our sophomores, Merrick Ben-
esch and Beck Olson, did a great job,” said
Astoria coach Kevin Goin. “By the fourth
quarter, we were moving the ball real well
and looked like we were in sync.”
Knappa boys defeat
Warrenton in Clatsop Clash
While the Warrenton Warriors will have a
successful season at the 3A level, the Knappa
Loggers showed why they could be one
of the favorites in the 2A state tournament
two months from now, as they powered past
Warrenton 58-38 in a nonleague boys bas-
ketball Clatsop Clash game on Thursday at
Warrenton.

Knappa senior Logan Morrill had a fi eld
day for the Loggers, blocking shots defen-
sively and scoring on numerous put-backs
and second chance baskets on off ense, lead-
ing all scorers with 19 points. Tanner Jack-
son added 12.
In the fi rst quarter, the Loggers reeled off
14 straight points, turning a 3-2 lead into a
17-2 advantage.
Tucker Kinder and Carter Morrill hit
3-point shots in the second quarter, and
Logan Morrill had two put-backs for an
eventual 33-13 lead.
A 3-pointer by Warrenton’s Dawson Lit-
tle early in the fourth had the Warriors within
44-31, but Knappa answered with an 8-0 run
to lock up the win, its fi fth straight victory
after a season-opening loss.
The Loggers picked up two fi rst-place
votes in the latest coaches poll, and are rated
fi fth in the latest Oregon School Activities
Association rankings.
Warrenton girls snap
long losing skid
The best holiday present the Warrenton
girls basketball team could give to coach
Jake Mullins was a win Thursday night.
In front of their home crowd and riding
a 20-game losing streak entering the non-
league contest with Knappa, Warrenton won
for the fi rst time since Feb. 18, 2020, with a
51-28 decision over the Loggers.
Both teams are young, with just two
seniors starting in Thursday’s game.
Knappa came in with a three-game win
streak, but the night belonged to the War-
riors, who built an early 16-4 lead and never
trailed.
After a 3-pointer from Knappa fresh-
man Alondra Piña and a layup from soph-
omore Ariana Miller capped a 6-0 Logger
run, Warrenton’s Avyree Miethe had a steal
and score early in the second quarter. Team-
mates Jamie Annat and Riley Simonsen fi n-
ished the fi rst half with back-to-back baskets
for a 24-13 lead.
The Warriors pulled away with a 15-5
run in the third quarter, highlighted by
three straight scores from Rebecca Kelly, a
3-pointer by Annat and 10 second half points
from Miethe, who fi nished with a game-high

Jean Helen Kandoll Johnson died in
Astoria on Dec. 13, 2021, age 77.
She was born Feb. 13, 1944, in Berkeley,
California, to Wiljo and Helen Kandoll. She
grew up in Grays River, Washington, on the
family dairy farm, and learned to work hard
milking cows, raking hay, driving a tractor
and caring for her younger siblings.
Jean was a bright student, and dreamed
of being an English teacher. A sincere Chris-
tian, she was confi rmed in the Apostolic
Lutheran Church at 15, remaining a faithful
churchgoer throughout her life.
She graduated as valedictorian from
Naselle High School in 1962, then going to
work for the Soil Conservation Service. In
1964, she enrolled at Clark College, earn-
ing board at the Washington School for the
Deaf.
Unhappy so far from home, she left
without fi nishing her English degree, and
worked for T and T Electric and Plumbing
in Longview, Washington. (She was very
proud when her daughters completed nurs-
ing degrees!)
After a brief adventure living in Olym-
pia, Washington, she was back in Longview
when Philip Johnson, a gillnet fi sherman
from Astoria, began courting her. They
wed on March 30, 1969, and settled in
Alderbrook.
Jean gave birth to fi ve well-nurtured chil-
dren, and worked to make a warm, empow-

ering and legendarily hospitable home.
Jean was a splendid cook whose car-
rot cake and spaghetti were famous. She
enjoyed reading theology, classic novels,
biographies and lighter romance and mys-
teries. She hosted a knitting circle.
A passionately concerned citizen, she
wrote letters to the editor, circulated peti-
tions, sported yard signs and joined political
discussions at the kitchen table. Relatives
and friends knew the coff ee was on, and the
door never locked.
She and Philip left Alderbrook in 2008 to
live with son Troy. Jean lived with others of
her children before a serious infection and
foot amputation caused her move to Clatsop
Care Center in 2019.
During her last two years, memory loss
did not aff ect her being a gracious listener
and eternal optimist. Her broad smile and
perpetual joy in people are sorely missed.
She trusted to receive eternal life with Jesus.
Jean is survived by her children, Alex
(Rebecca), Heather (Brandon) Kent, Troy,
Travis (Tasha) and Gretchen (Kent) Little; 24
grandchildren; her siblings, Mary Vik, Tom,
Terry, Philip, Susan Sundqvist, Michael,
Robert, William, Elizabeth Holmgren and
John; and numerous nieces, nephews, grand-
nieces and grand-nephews and cousins.
She was preceded in death by her hus-
band of 43 years, Philip Johnson; her par-
ents; and her brother, Stanley.
