ASTORIA GIRLS NOTCH FIRST WIN
Following a blueprint set against them by Burns the night before, the Astoria Lady Fishermen put a defensive stranglehold on their 5A opponent, limiting 5A Eagle Point to seven field goals in a 42-22 victory Saturday in the consolation round of the Madras Holiday Tournament.
The host White Buffalos fared no better against 3A powerhouse Burns, as the defending state champion Hilanders blasted Madras 53-23 in the championship game, equalling their 30-point margin of victory against Astoria the day before.
Junior post Jamie Coggins was named to the all-tournament team. One night after going toe-to-toe with Division I recruit Jessica Clemens of Burns, Coggins scored 18 points and had 14 rebounds to lead Astoria in both departments.
"She played very well," said Astoria head coach Gordon Thomson, "and it was a treat to watch her battle with Jessica Clemens on Friday. Jamie missed a few close shots and shot free throws poorly, or she would have easily had a 20-plus point night."
The 5-10 post now has some help on the front line, as K.J. Carr, sidelined by a calf injury the first two weeks, added eight points and 11 boards. Point guard Hilary O'Bryan also made her first appearance, although her time on the floor this weekend was very brief.
"O'Bryan played about 5 minutes all weekend," said Thomson. "so don't read too much into her name in the box scores. Slowly, but surely we will get her back."
O'Bryan, a junior and returning starter, has been slow to heal from an ankle sprain suffered late in Astoria's volleyball playoff win over Douglas over a month ago. The Fishermen are still without expected starters Kristin Saulsbury and Jennifer Stephens, although Stephens is due to play in this weekend's Tournament of Champions at Seaside according to Thomson.
Astoria's next game will be against Castle Rock in Thursday's opening game of the 3-day, 16-team co-ed tournament hosted by Seaside. The Fishermen boys will also play the Rockets. Both games will be broadcast live on KAST-AM 1370 with pregame coverage beginning at 3:15 p.m. Thursday afternoon.
