A3 THE ASTORIAN • TUESDAY, JANUARY 18, 2022 SPORTS Seaside boys top North Marion, 64-52 The Astorian The Seaside boys bas- ketball team bounced back from a Wednesday loss to Marshfi eld with a 64-52 nonleague win over North Marion, Friday night at Seaside. The game was closer than the fi nal score indi- cated, as the Huskies were within 54-48 late in the fourth quarter, before North Marion started fouling and didn’t stop until the Gulls hit six straight free throws, and outscored the Huskies 10-4 in the fi nal minutes. Seaside’s largest lead in the fi rst half came at the end of the fi rst quarter (11-5), matched later at 23-17 fol- lowing consecutive scores by Cash Corder. North Marion relied on 3-pointers by Cole Ham- mack and Dylan Herron, and two scores by Evan Holman that brought the Huskies into a 25-25 tie at halftime. But no team has been able to stop the Gulls from the 3-point line, where Sea- side sank four shots in the third quarter from Ever Sibony, Izzy Jantes, Carson Kawasoe and Corder, help- ing the Gulls build a 46-38 lead by the end of the quarter. Sibony led all scorers with 21 points, followed by Corder with 17. Astoria 60, Warrenton 36 Warrenton held a one- point lead after one quar- ter, but the rest of the night belonged to Astoria, as the Fishermen outscored the Warriors 47-22 over the fi nal three quarters, for a 60-36 nonleague boys bas- ketball win Saturday at Warrenton. Colton McMaster had a game-high 22 points for Astoria, with help from team- mates Niko Boudreau (13 points) and Owen Williams (12 points), as the Fisher- men improved to 6-6 overall, with league play beginning Wednesday at Banks. Warrenton’s Josh Earls hit three 3-pointers in the fi rst quarter and fi nished with nine points, along with Dawson Little. The War- riors were playing their sec- ond game in two days, com- ing off a 49-39 loss Friday at Willamina. Bulldogs 49, Warriors 39 The Warrenton and Willamina boys basket- ball teams hooked up in a 3-point shooting contest Friday, in a Coastal Range League contest. The two teams com- bined to make 14 3-pointers through three quarters, and the Bulldogs outscored the Warriors in the fourth, 13-6, for a 49-39 win. Warrenton had just one shot attempt from two-point range in the second quarter, relying on a pair of three’s from No. 3, Dawson Little, and another trey by Elijah Whitsett for an 18-12 lead. Willamina answered with back-to-back 3-point- ers from Cohen Haller and Austin Carrasco, and took an eventual 25-20 lead in the third quarter on a three by Jacob Hadley. The Warriors responded with two straight treys from Hordie Bodden Bodden and Little for a 26-25 advantage, but Willamina took the lead for good on two straight tri- ples from Kaleb Cruick- shank and Haller. Little scored 20 points for the Warriors, and Haller had 20 for Willamina. “He was real tough on us,” Warrenton coach Nate McBride said of Haller. The game was “very back and forth. We led as much as they did. They just made more plays down the stretch, and we had to start fouling.” Athletes back in the pool, as Seaside hosts double dual The Astorian Swimmers were back in the water last Wednesday, as Seaside hosted a dou- ble-dual meet with Astoria and Taft at Sunset Pool. The Taft boys scored vic- tories over Astoria (103-65) and Seaside (95-71), while the Gulls topped Astoria, 88-70. On the girls side, Astoria was the big winner, outscor- ing Taft (74-48) and Sea- side (80-46), while the Lady Gulls defeated Taft, 55-51. Just the second meet for Seaside and the fourth for Astoria, swimmers across the board saw huge time drops in their events. The Astoria foursome of Brooke O’Connor, Lily Reed, Hannah Daniels and Emelia Cameron opened the day with a win in the girls 200-yard medley relay (2:23.12), just ahead of Sea- side (2:26.57). A junior, Cameron won the 100-yard freestyle in 1:03.30 and took the 100- yard backstroke (1:15.77), and the same four swim- mers won the 200-yard free- style relay in 2:06.05. In the boys meet, Sea- side’s Sam Heroux won the 200-yard individual medley in 2:29.11, ahead of Asto- ria’s Phelan Dopp (2:33.49); Seaside’s Masyn McCull- och had the best time (24.35) out of 21 swimmers in the 50-yard freestyle; and McCulloch also won the 100-yard freestyle in 57.82, edging Astoria’s Stephen Ero (58.21). Other wins came from Astoria’s 200-yard freestyle relay team of Finn Bizzell, Dopp, Trevor Newman and Ero (1:44.48), and Seaside’s Leif Rehnert took fi rst in the 100-yard backstroke (1:09.55). Astoria hosts dual meets with Tillamook on Thursday and Valley Catholic (Jan. 27), followed by the Cow- apa League championships and the District 1 meet, both held next month at the Asto- ria Aquatic Center. Astoria girls nearly upend No. 2 Corbett The Astorian No. 2-ranked Corbett defeated Astoria 49-46 in a nonleague girls basket- ball game Friday night at Corbett, but the statement came from Astoria, which made their fi rst appear- ance in the top 10 rankings with the near upset over the unbeaten (12-0) Cardinals. The 10th-ranked Lady Fishermen had a two-point lead late in the fourth quar- ter, before Corbett tied it with a score off a turnover. The Cardinals led by three with 12 seconds remaining, and Astoria was unable to connect on a game-tying shot. “We just didn’t exe- cute out of the time out and didn’t get the shot we were hoping for,” said Astoria coach Mike Jacobson. “We were down by 13 in the fi rst half and by fi ve at halftime.” Corbett led by as much as 12 in the third quarter, before Astoria “made an adjustment defensively, and the girls kept fi ghting and never gave up,” Jacobson said. “Very proud of them for that.” Gulls 42, Huskies 39 Seaside snapped a six- game losing skid by scor- ing a season-high in points Friday night at home, in a 42-39 nonleague girls bas- ketball win over North Marion. Lilli Taylor poured in a game-high 25 points, and the Gulls needed all of it, as North Marion nearly pulled off an improbable fourth quarter comeback. Trailing 31-18 after three quarters, the Huskies scored 21 in the fourth, pull- ing to within 40-37 follow- ing a 3-pointer by Laura Cabrero with under a min- ute remaining. The Gulls eventually closed it out at the free throw line, where Tay- lor and Abby Nofi eld com- bined to make 5-of-6 in the fi nal minute to clinch the victory, helping Seaside improve to 4-9 overall. Taylor scored 13 of her points in the third quarter. Seaside opens Cowapa League play Wednesday at Valley Catholic.
