That was the case Friday night at Knappa, where the Loggers beat War- renton 24-8 in Clatsop County’s other “Clash.” A Warriors vs. Loggers football game usually gets the reputation as be- ing a “close, hard-fought classic.” Friday night’s nonleague game may have been hard-fought, but it wasn’t close, and it certainly wasn’t a classic. The game had a combined nine turn- overs, including back-to-back fumbles in the opening minute. Entering the annual showdown with the Loggers, the Warriors had outscored their last three opponents (Willamina, Neah-Kah-Nie, Nestucca) by a com- bined 98-2. The difference Friday? The War- riors weren’t playing Willamina, Neah- Kah-Nie or Nestucca. .QDSSD¶V GHIHQVH LQWHUFHSWHG ¿YH passes, recovered a fumble, and limit- ed Warrenton to just 150 yards in total offense.

Knappa freshman Tyler Green had two interceptions, with additional picks by Geisler, Dakota Severson and Ma- son Hoover. Prior to the game, Green changed his uniform number from 88 to 15, to honor his grandfather Kenneth Green, who died Friday. “Kenny was a huge part of our community and many kids’ lives,” said Knappa coach Aaron Barendse. “I’m so proud of Tyler for stepping up on such an emotional day and making a memo- ry he will never forget. An unbelievably special day.” The Loggers (2-3 overall) begin league play this week with a home game against Gaston (1-4). Warrenton, the only team in the Lewis & Clark League with a winning record (3-2), hosts Corbett Friday. Fishermen 28, Valiants 2 BEAVERTON — Astoria bounced back from last week’s loss to Scap- poose with a more enjoyable 28-2 win at Valley Catholic Friday night. The Fishermen ended their two- game losing skid by building a 20-0 halftime lead, then rushing by the Val- iants in the second half. $VWRULD ¿QLVKHG ZLWK \DUGV Knappa’s Mason Hoover is tackled by Warrenton’s Hunter Wilson after getting an interception.
