HOOPS HERE

Welcome back Last Dammers (I think there are about 5 of you left, down from 12).

I hope you all haven't abandoned the site due to my prolonged absence. I have been busily preparing for the upcoming winter season which is now upon us (literally, it is snowing in Vernonia as I type!).

Again, I remind you to keep up to date with our Lo-Co-Co (that's Lower Columbia-Coastal to you nonconverts) teams by checking kast1370.com on a daily basis. I will update the blog as regularly as I can or whenever the inspiration strikes and time permits (for instance, I've been very inspired to talk about what an idiot Mike Belotti is, but haven't had the type to put fingertip to keyboard).

This is a traditional jamboree night. A jamboree is a traditional waste of time in my opinion (just play a stupid game, already), but it does mark the first appearance of your local varsity ballers in front of a paying crowd. Tonight at six, the fresh-faced Astoria crew (only two returning letters) will scrimmage against Seaside, Tillamook and Warrenton at the Brick House under the following conditions:

Match Ups – Each team will play each other for one 8 minute quarter.

Participating Teams -
Astoria – PURPLE uniforms Seaside – RED uniforms

Tillamook – BLACK uniforms Warrenton – WHITE uniforms

Game 1 Astoria vs. Warrenton
Game 2 Seaside vs. Tillamook
Game 3 Seaside vs. Warrenton
Game 4 Astoria vs. Tillamook
Game 5 Warrenton vs. Tillamook
Game 6 Astoria vs. Seaside


One timeout allowed per quarter.
We will shoot all shouting fouls and shoot 1 & 1 on the 5th foul.


COST: Adults $3.00
Students $1.00

Warrenton is also hosting at girls basketball jamboree tonight with Ilwaco and Naselle which starts at six. The real games start tomorrow, except in Corbett and Amity, where Vernonia and Nestucca's girls teams trek, respectively.

The real games begin around here Tuesday, with Astoria's girls heading to Ilwaco in a battle of the Lady Fishermen. The following night, I'll be at the Brick House broadcasting the Ilwaco-Astoria boys season opener on 1370 AM KAST, returning there on Friday when the Fishermen take on Gladstone. We will broadcast most of the Astoria boys games on KAST this year, with a handpicked schedule of Warrenton, Ilwaco, Knappa and Naselle boys games airing on AM 1230 "Key Radio", the former home of ESPN.

The broadcast schedule will be posted on kast1370.com along with standings, game stories and stats all season long. Find a game and have fun. See you there!
