VALIANTS TOO MUCH FOR LADY FISHERMEN
Led by a balanced scoring attack, the 3rd ranked team in the latest 3A Girls Basketball poll had little trouble with the visiting Astoria Lady Fishermen in the last game before the Christmas Holiday. Valley Catholic used a suffocating defense and took advantage of several Astoria miscues in a decisive 3rd Quarter, runnning away from Astoria, 52-38 Friday night in Beaverton.
A power in the old 3A before the reclassification this season, Valley Catholic used a definitive height advantage, with 6' Junior Lisa Gallinat and 5'10" Senior Hope Danielson, to secure an advantage on the offensive boards, and controlled Fishermen standout Jamie Coggins. Coggins, who early in this turbulent season has been a steadying force, ran into early foul trouble, played very little in the first half, and was never a factor after picking up a quick 4th foul early in the second half.
But Astoria, bolstered by the strong guard play of Jennifer Stephens and Hilary O'Bryan, kept the game close, with the Lady Fishermen actually leading after the 1st Quarter, 14-12. It was a short-lived advantage, however, as the smaller Fishermen were stymied on the offensive glass in the second quarter, where Valley Catholic out-rebounded Astoria, 12-4, and the Valiants started to build their lead, which stood at 28-24 heading into the break.
The Lady Fishermen could do little right in the 3rd Quarter, as the homestanding Valiants out-scored Astoria, 17-6, with Gallinat and speedy Sophomore Guard Jena Sepich doing most of the damage. Sepich, who finished with 6 points, was a terror on defense, making 3 steals in the decisive quarter.
Astoria's shootng woes continued in the 4th quarter, although Coggins, absent with foul trouble most of the game, did play most of the quarter and finally got on the board from the free throw line. But it was not enought to mount a comeback as Coggins fouled out with 2 minutes left in the contest as the Valiants kept Astoria at an arms length on their way to the 14 point win.
Gallinat lead all scorers with 19 points, followed by Danielson with 10. Stephens led Astoria as the only Fishermen player in double figures with 12.
Astoria, now 4-5 on the season, is next in action at the Annual Vince Dulchich Tournament, which will be aired on 1370 AM KAST beginning with the pre-game at around 5:30 on Wednesday. Valley Catholic improved their record to 6-2 with the victory.
