FISHERMEN SWEEP KALAMA, WARRENTON BOYS CLINCH 2ND

Anna Kitzman scored her 1000th career point for Ilwaco, but it was the broad shoulders of junior Lanie Kary which carried the Lady Fishermen to a senior night win over Kalama. Kary scored 24 points and hauled down 13 rebounds and helped limit the dangerous Amanda Clark to seven points in the win, which gives Ilwaco temporary possession of first place in the Trico Division.

The Ilwaco boys added to the festivities with an upset win over the Chinooks to complete a memorable senior night doubleheader in front of a raucous crowd at Ilwaco.

Warrenton's boys nailed down second place in the Lewis & Clark League with a home win over Rainier as Ryan Lampi continued a recent offensive tear with 25 points. The Lady Warriors fell short in their attempt to catch Rainier as the Columbians clinched the league title and a state playoff berth by beating Warrenton for a second time. Warrenton will host a playoff doubleheader on Valentine's Day.

Seaside's girls slowed down the game and nearly knocked off Tillamook as the Cheesemakers' Francy Bellan hit a free throw with no time remaining on the clock at the end of overtime for a 24-23 win.

Aside from Ilwaco, it was a tough night for area girls teams as Astoria, Warrenton, Knappa, Naselle and Seaside all lost.

Astoria's 4th-ranked boys led most of the way in a 49-39 home victory over Scappoose and will play in front of a packed house at Tillamook Thursday night.
