Take the last second of the

and that was the difference in
the game at Seaside Jan. 30,
where the Gulls scored a 55-

ketball win over Astoria.

Thompson hit a shot from just
inside the half-court line, and
also drew a foul to complete a
four-point play.
Seaside teammate Jack-

period with a 3-pointer at the
buzzer and capped the third

throws, after he was fouled
on a 3-point attempt with one
second left.
Three seconds, 10 points,
and a nine-point Seaside win.
Outside of the buzz-
er-beating heroics, Friday’s
game was a free throw fest,
as the two teams combined to
make 41-of-59 foul shots.

“Considering that we have
some swimmers out, I thought
our girls did really well,” said
Astoria coach Amy Emmett.
The Lady Fish scored most
of their points with depth, as
they were missing Morgan

Reed said, “Our girls really
stepped up. We’re seeing some

them. The boys are just where
we want to be going into
