Banks edges Astoria
girls in OT, 52-50
SCOREBOARD
The Banks girls basketball team
was feeling pretty good early in the
fourth quarter Saturday afternoon
at Tillamook.
The Lady Braves led Astoria
40-23 in a Cowapa League tie-
breaker, as Banks was looking to
deliver one fi nal decisive shot at
their longtime rivals before drop-
ping to the 3A level.
But Astoria had other plans, as
the Lady Fish outscored Banks
19-4 the remainder of the fourth to
send the game to overtime.
Banks was able to regroup and
eventually pulled out a 52-50 win,
earning the Cowapa’s No. 1 seed to
the state playoff s, in their fi nal sea-
son as a member of the league.
Both teams will host games in
the coming week, time and day to
be announced.
After a fairly close quarter-
and-a-half, the Braves closed out
the fi rst half with a 10-0 run for a
29-13 halftime lead.
The lead reached 31-13, before
the Lady Fish turned to a former
Lady Gull, junior Caleigh Peterson.
Peterson scored inside, then
dropped in two 3-pointers late in
the fourth to bring Astoria to within
35-23.
Another trey and a two-point
jump shot by Peterson sparked
13-1 run, and the Fishermen were
within 41-36 following 3-pointers
from Nayomi Holmstedt and Mol-
lie Matthews.
Banks could have closed it
out at the free throw line, but the
Braves missed 18 free throws on
the day, including six in the fi nal
minutes of regulation.
For Astoria, Matthews con-
nected on two free throws at the
1:27 mark, and Shelby Bruney
was 4-for-4 in the fi nal 51 seconds,
sending the game to overtime.
The Braves made 4-of-6 foul
shots in the extra frame, enough to
hold off a 3-pointer from Astoria’s
Avery Biederman.
Peterson had 15 points and Mat-
thews scored 12 for Astoria, while
Madison Walker led Banks with 14
points.
“The girls didn’t show up in
the fi rst half,” Astoria coach Mike
Jacobson said of his team. “They
came out in the second half,
mainly the end of the third and the
whole fourth quarter, and defi nitely
picked up the defensive intensity.”
He added, “We made a couple
adjustments to our off ense at half-
time, but nothing diff erent defen-
sively. We played with true grit in
the fourth and had a chance to win
it in regulation.”
Astoria has lost only 12 games
to Cowapa League opponents since
the 2017-18 season, eight to Banks
and four to Valley Catholic — the
two Cowapa League schools which
are dropping to the 3A level after
this season.
18-5 lead early in the second quar-
ter, and fi nished the fi rst half 7-for-
12 on threes for a 25-12 lead at the
break. Josh Earls and Elijah Whit-
sett had three triples apiece.
The Warriors cooled off in the
third quarter, and Willamina hit
three 3-pointers to close within
29-28.
Willamina took a brief lead
early in the fourth, before Warren-
ton’s Dawson Little hit the fi rst of
three straight 3-pointers with 4:42
left.
His third gave the Warriors a
42-41 lead, and a 3-pointer by
Whitsett made it 45-41 with just
under a minute remaining.
Warrenton still had a four-point
lead and possession with 26 sec-
onds remaining, but Atherton made
2-of-3 free throws at 19 seconds,
then the Bulldogs forced a turnover
to set up Atherton’s game-winner.
Only three players scored for
Warrenton, led by Little’s 18
points. The two teams made a
combined 20 3-pointers, with 29
misses.

The Willamina and Warrenton
boys basketball teams played the
wildest four minutes and 42 sec-
onds of Oregon high school bas-
ketball Saturday night.
In the fi nal 4:42, the teams com-
bined for six 3-pointers, and Wil-
lamina outscored Warrenton 5-0 in
the last 19 seconds for a 46-45 vic-
tory in the Coastal Range League
championship game, played at
McMinnville High School.
There were just two lead
changes in that span, with the fi nal
lead change coming on a 3-pointer
from Willamina’s Adam Atherton
with eight seconds left.
Shortly after a Warrenton turn-
over, Atherton shuffl ed his pivot
foot back behind the 3-point line
and launched the game-winner.
A Warrior drive to the hoop with
four seconds left did not go, and
the Bulldogs earned the league’s
No. 1 seed to the state playoff s.
Willamina will host a fi rst round
game vs. Pleasant Hill, and the
Warriors travel to De La Salle for
a fi rst round contest Friday.
Warrenton was in control of Sat-
urday’s game from the start, as the

March 3 to March 5.
The No. 2-ranked Loggers dom-

ishing 15-0, with a victory margin
of over 30 points per game.
Knappa defeated Mannahouse
three times since Feb. 9, by scores

No season would be complete
without a tiebreaker at Tillamook

exception.

In a tiebreaker to break the tie-
breakers, the Gulls defeated Banks
52-49 in a Saturday night con-
test at Tillamook, helping Seaside
earn the league’s No. 1 seed to the
state playoff s. The teams fi nished
the regular season as co-league
champions.
The Braves held an early 13-7
advantage, before the Gulls reeled
off a 15-2 run for a 22-15 lead mid-
way through the second quarter.
Banks held a very brief 34-33
lead in the third, but the Braves
couldn’t keep pace with Seaside’s
long-range bombers.
Ever Sibony hit a pair of three’s
to start the fourth quarter, with
additional second half treys from

Sibony had two 3-pointers in
the fi rst half as well, to fi nish with
a game-high 16 points.
Unless the two teams meet in
Marshfi eld at the 4A state tour-
nament, Saturday’s game was the
last between the two league rivals.
Banks drops to the 3A level next
school year.
Saturday’s tiebreaker also
brings an end to the Cowapa’s best
rivalry over the past six years.
Since the 2015-16 season, Sea-
side has lost just 13 games to Cow-
apa opponents, including eight to
the Braves and two to Valley Cath-
olic, the two schools dropping to
the 3A level.
