Corbett wins team titles in Seaside Classic
The Astorian
Seaside’s Holiday Clas-
sic tournament was a classic
one for Corbett High School,
which left the coast with two
team championships.
Shortly after Corbett
defeated Astoria 42-31 in the
girls’ title game, the Cardinal
boys shocked Seaside 46-41
in the boys’ championship
Saturday night — the fi rst
time since 2017 that the Gulls
have lost a game in their own
tournament.
Corbett senior and tourna-
ment Most Valuable Player
Joe Fundak scored 21 points
in the fi nal, one day after
scoring 34 in a victory over
Astoria.
The Cardinals built a 16-9
lead midway through the sec-
ond quarter, but — as they
have all season — Seaside
answered right on cue with
a 10-0 run, highlighted by
scores from Conner Langmo,
Cash Corder and Austin
Palmer.
Seaside’s Riley Wunder-
lich hit a 3-pointer to close
the fi rst half, Corder drained
a 3-pointer in the third quar-
ter for a 31-25 advantage, and
Carson Kawasoe’s trey had
the Gulls in front 34-32 early
in the fourth.
That’s about where the
highlights ended for Seaside,
as Corbett’s Lane Fort, Fun-
dak and Mykah Cummings
had three straight baskets, and
the Cardinals never trailed
again.
Corbett was 6-for-9 at the
free throw line in the fi nal
2:30.
Madras 73, Astoria 68
In the third-place boys
game — and most excit-
ing contest — of the Holi-
day Classic, Madras defeated
Astoria 73-68 in double-over-
time Saturday afternoon.
The Fishermen built an
18-4 lead after one quarter,

and still led 46-38 going into
the fourth, when “Madras
got hot, and started making
three’s,” said Astoria coach
Kevin Goin.
The White Buff aloes
indeed hit four long 3-point-
ers in the fourth to force over-
time, which eventually came
down to free throws. Astoria
had a chance to win in regu-
lation but missed a free throw.
The Fishermen had bal-
anced scoring from Colton
McMaster (18), Owen Wil-
liams (14) and Niko Bou-
dreau (11), while Seneca Ball
had 20 to lead four Madras
players in double fi gures.
Gulls 55, Madras 35
The Gulls reached the
championship game with a
55-35 win late Friday night
over Madras.
Cash Corder scored 15
points and Conner Langmo
added 12 for the Gulls.
Corbett 65, Astoria 57
The Cardinals locked up
their spot in the title game
with a 65-57 victory Friday
over Astoria.
The Fishermen took a
47-45 lead into the fourth
quarter, but Corbett rallied
and outscored Astoria 20-11
in the fi nal period, behind
a 34-point night from Joe
Fundak.
Colton McMaster scored
26 and Thomas Faulkner
added 16 for the Fishermen.
Warrenton wins
Heppner tourney
The Warrenton boys bas-
ketball team will continue to
climb the Class 3A rankings,
following two wins Friday
and Saturday in the Heppner
tournament.
Warrenton opened play
Friday with a 46-43 vic-
tory over Heppner, fol-
lowed by a 41-38 decision
over Weston-McEwen in the
championship game Saturday.
In the girls’ side of the
tournament, Warrenton lost
close games against Heppner
(36-29) and Weston-McEwen
(38-33).
Knappa 78,
Pilot Rock 25
With a victory over current
No. 1-ranked Kennedy ear-
lier in the season, the Knappa
Loggers are quickly closing
in on the top spot in 2A boys
basketball with another easy
win Friday night, 78-25 over
Pilot Rock.
The Loggers — who
gained three fi rst-place votes
in the coaches poll — are
ranked sixth in the latest
OSAA rankings.
Corbett wins girls’ title
Before Corbett won the
boys’ championship game,
Corbett’s fi rst title in the Sea-
side Holiday Classic was pro-
vided by the Lady Cardi-
nals, who scored a 42-31 win
over Astoria in the girls’ fi nal
Saturday.
After opening with a 49-37
win over Heritage, the Lady
Fishermen won a low-scoring
semifi nal Friday over Cottage
Grove, 38-22.
Astoria had all the points
it would need after just one
quarter against the Lions, as
the Lady Fish held a 23-11
lead after eight minutes.
Freshman Shelby Bruney
scored 18 of her game-high
20 points in the fi rst half, with
freshman Malory Dundas
adding seven points for Asto-
ria, which the Lions to just
11 points over the fi nal three
quarters.
Seaside’s Lilli Taylor led
all players with 24 points, but
it wasn’t enough as Cottage
Grove outscored the Gulls
16-7 in the second half for a
39-30 win in the third place
game of the Seaside Holiday
Classic.
Gracie Arnold scored 20
points for the Lions, while
just two other players had
points for Seaside (Aubrie
Taylor and Abby Nofi eld).
Lilli Taylor scored 14
points in a 54-30 loss to Cor-
bett in the second round.
