BALANCED TEEVIN IMPROVES TO 5-1

Teevin Brothers were the automatic favorites to win the inaugural Knappa Summer Basketball League because of the presence of former Knappa and Oregon State Beaver star Brian Jackson. Thursday night they proved there's more to the team than the big guy.

Jackson led three players in double figures with 25 points and added 17 rebounds as Teevin Brothers defeated Nygaard/Hunt 78-62. Brent Brockey added 16 points and Warrenton native Adam Nehring chipped in with 12 points. Teevin also got strong contributions from the Astoria High School coaching tandem of Chris Hunt and Brad Dalton. Nygaard/Hunt, coming off its first league win on Tuesday, was led by former Astoria standout Matt Johnson's 20 points. Johnson had missed the last two games recovering from a spider bite.

Danger Den kept pace with Teevin atop the standings with a 68-51 victory over Western Underground. Tex Cokley's hot shooting got Danger Den on top early as the Warrenton-Knappa conglomerate canned its first three pointers to go up 9-0. Western Underground fought back to make it a close game as Cokley went through a midgame dry spell, but recovered to finish with 34 points. Danger Den and Teevin Brothers are tied at 5-1, two games ahead of Western Underground with four games remaining.

In the final game of the night, Mike Cokley followed up his 12 3-pointer performance on Tuesday with ten baskets from beyond the arc, finishing with 54 points as The Logger defeated Ed's Septic 95-82. Kyle Jackson scored 41 for Ed's Septic in a losing cause. The win moved The Logger into a fourth place tie with Ed's Septic at 2-4 with Nygaard/Hunt bringing up the rear at 1-5.
