FISH BOYS FLY PAST SEASIDE, GULL GIRLS WIN
Scoring the first 19 points of the contest, the Astoria boys showed no signs of a letdown heading into the most critical stretch of their season this week.
The Fishermen forced 27 Seaside turnovers and outscored the Seagulls 21-4 in the first period on the way to a 66-43 victory at Seaside Friday night.
Ashley Mayfield went 6-for-6 at the free throw line in the fourth period as the Seagull girls defeated Astoria 30-24.
In the boys game, Astoria wasted little time in putting things out of reach, forcing 11 Seagull turnovers in the first period while shooting to a 19-0 lead.
Sophomore Jordan Poyer had four of his seven steals in the opening quarter and finished the game with 14 points. Andy Murray, back after a one game suspension for a technical foul ejection, added 14 points and Brian Anderson notched 13 points for the Fishermen, who flashed their typical offensive versatility and unselfishness, with eight players scoring, three in double figures and eight different players recording an assist with five players dishing two dimes each.
"We wanted to come out right away and take it to them," said head coach Chris Hunt.
"We wanted to get off to a quick start and to sustain that start. The guys did a great job of moving the ball and knocking down shots and being aggressive on the press to create turnovers and easy baskets."
The aggressive tone of the game was established early on the glass, as Astoria scored on offensive rebounds on its first two possessions against a strong rebounding team.
"Overall, I thought our rebounding was really good," said Hunt. "We were agressive going to the basket and aggressive going after loose balls."
Seaside's Ed Kauffunger sat much of the first half with foul trouble, scoring all 13 of his points in the second half. Matt Peinhardt added eight points and 15 rebounds while dishing out a game-high four assists.
The Fishermen played for the second straight night without 4-year letterman Nick Alfonse, who expects to return to practice Monday and hopefully play against Scappoose after injuring his ankle.
In the girls game, Astoria's K.J. Carr went down with an ankle injury midway through the first period. With Carr off the floor and junior post Jamie Coggins saddled with two early fouls, the Seagulls took advantage on the glass, outrebounding Astoria 25-14 in the first two periods while collecting 16 offensive boards.
Still, Astoria was able to keep the game close, with the Gulls breaking a 13-all second quarter tie with a Marla Olstedt 3-pointer and pulling ahead 20-14 at the half.
With a little under three minutes left in the third quarter, Seaside elected to hold the ball at halfcourt to try and force Astoria out of a zone defense. Leading 23-19, Marla Olstedt held the ball for nearly a minute before being challenged by an Astoria defender. Olstedt dribbled the basketball, after having picked up her dribble earlier, but the delay apparently caught the referees napping.
The Seagulls never did get a final shot away, and Astoria cut the lead to two when Jamie Coggins scored inside following an offensive rebound by Alex Hillard. Coggins tied the game at 23 with an offensive rebound putback at the 5:33 mark. Coggins would score all five of her points in the period. Unfortunatley for Astoria, that's all the points they would get.
Seaside sophomore guard Ashley Mayfield knocked down a pair of free throws to give the Gulls a 25-23 lead with 4:31 remaining. Mayfield would go 6-for-6 at the line in the final period, while Astoria was just 4-for-13 at the line in the game.
Olstedt led all scorers with 15 points and had nine rebounds to go with Mayfield's nine points and nine boards. Carr did return to the game for Astoria in the second half and finished with four points and eight rebounds. Nobody scored more than five points in the game for Astoria, which dropped to 2-3 in the Cowapa League and 11-9 overall. Seaside improved to 3-2 and 11-8. The two teams meet again in the regular season finale at Astoria on Feb. 20
