Numerous players picked up
awards this season on the annual
Cowapa all-league softball team, as
voted on by the league’s coaches.
The Player of the Year honor went
to Astoria freshman Maddie Wilkin;
the Designated Players of the Year
were Emilie Eddy of Valley Catho-
lic and Tillamook’s Ashlyn Mattson;
and Wilkin was also the Pitcher of the
Year.
Astoria’s Junior Israel and his
staff of Korie Blacker, Libby Di Bar-
tolomeo and Lou Marconeri were
named Coaches of the Year.
In addition to Wilkin, Astoria had
seven other players earn all-league
honors. Seaside landed fi ve players
on the all-league squad.
With three freshmen on the fi rst
team and two sophomore honor-
able mentions, the Lady Fish could
be the dominant team in the Cowapa
League for the next several years,
after advancing to the 2022 state
quarterfi nals.
Astoria won the league title with
a 12-0 league record, well ahead of
Valley Catholic (8-4) and Banks
(5-7), both of which drop to the 3A
level next season.
Astoria defeated Corbett 7-0 in a
fi rst round game, before dropping a
3-0 decision to Stayton in the quarter-
fi nals, the program’s fi rst appearance
in the fi nal eight since 1983.
Under coach Tom Wilson, the
Astoria softball team made the state
playoff s in 1982 and 1983, when the
Oregon School Activities Association
had just two levels (AAA and AA-A).
Playing a schedule of big school
opponents, the Lady Fishermen of
1983 defeated Sheridan 4-2 in a fi rst
round game, before an 8-2 loss to La
Salle in the quarterfi nals.

Thomas Nesbitt Bur-
gess Jr., a former
Astoria resident, has
passed away peace-
fully in Charlotte,
North
Carolina,
where he grew up.
The
son
of
Thomas N. Burgess
Sr. and Halean Proc- Thomas Burgess Jr.
tor Burgess, he is sur-
vived by his brother,
John C. Burgess, and
his wife, Mikki Bur-
gess, and three neph-
ews, John Jr., Stephen and Jeremy. He is
also survived by his longtime companion
and Astoria resident, Rosalyn Edelson.
Tom’s vocation was advertising, as a
creative director for several of the indus-
try’s top agencies. An avid scuba diver
and certifi ed hard hat diver, he combined
his creative talent with his love for the sea
to advocate for protections for the oceans
and the oceans’ inhabitants.
He authored, in addition to his other
writings, “Take Me Under the Sea,” a
defi nitive work encompassing the history
of undersea art, photography and early
motion picture production.
He was a frequent contributor to His-
torical Diving Society’s worldwide publi-
cation, and a sometimes unconventional
contributor to The Daily Astorian.
Tom served in the U.S. Navy Reserve
as a cryptographer. As he wished, his
ashes will be scattered at sea.
In lieu of fl owers and condolences, do
something positive for the oceans, which
support all life on this planet. We suggest
the Oceanic Preservation Society or an
environmental charity of your choice.
