SCOREBOARD
SEASIDE — The Seaside Lady
Gulls just con¿rmed what we already
knew Friday night — it’s going to be
another winning season in Seaside.
For the second year in a row, the
Gulls opened their season with a win
over Liberty, a Class 5A school from
Hillsboro.
Junior Maddi Utti showed that she’s
already in Player of the Year form, as
the Cowapa’s best player for the last
two years poured in 36 points, and the
Gulls cruised in a 60-53 win over the
Falcons.
Seaside jumped out to a 13-3 lead,
but Liberty — which was 1-for-14
from the ¿eld in the ¿rst quarter —
staged a second half rally and made the
game close.
The Falcons had a chance to tie late,
but Utti took control and scored three
consecutive ¿eld goals to help the Gulls
pull away. Utti and teammate Sydney
Villegas were a combined 6-for-6 from
the free throw line in the ¿nal two min-
utes.
Seaside shot a blistering 69 percent
from the ¿eld 22-for-32.
Utti had 18 points in each half,
while Seaside had just one other player
in double ¿gures Villegas with 11.

“Maddi had a great game and played
like her hair was on ¿re,” Seaside coach
Wally Hamer said. “Brittany West did a
good job, as did Sydney Villegas on the
glass.”
Numerous fouls had the Liberty
starters in foul trouble right from the
start, and three key players eventually
fouled out.
Liberty was whistled for 30 fouls on
the night, and the Gulls took advantage
by making 22-of-42 free throws. Utti
alone was 12-for-18 at the line, in a
game that featured a combined 55 fouls,
70 turnovers and 35 missed free throws.
“We survived, even though we com-
mitted too many turnovers and missed
our free throws,” Hamer said. “That
was a great ¿rst game for our kids.
“Liberty played great defense and
pressured us all night,” he said. “They
are a much-improved team from last
year. They made several runs at us so
we had to play with some toughness.”

Falcons leave Gulls’ nest with 57-51 win
By GARY HENLEY

SEASIDE — There’s no
question that Seaside will be
a major player in 4A boys
basketball by the end of the
season — the Gulls just had
a tough time against the 5A
level Friday night, as Liberty
came to Seaside and left with
a 57-51 win.
The Gulls rallied from
a 4- de¿cit in the third
quarter to take a 48-46 lead
with 3:51 left in the fourth,
only to see the Falcons go on
an 11-3 run to close out the
intense nonleague game.
Liberty’s Jacob Mast hit
four straight free throws in
the closing minutes, and
scored on a layup at the 2:15
mark that put the Falcons
ahead to stay, 52-51.
Moments earlier, Sea-
side’s Austin Eagon scored
off his own steal, drew the
foul and made the free throw
to give the Gulls a 51-50 ad-
vantage.
Seaside had two crucial
turnovers down the stretch,
however, and the Falcons
converted the miscues into
points for the win.
Hunter Thompson scored
15 points to lead Seaside,
with eight points apiece from
Jackson Januik and Jaxson
Smith.
Tigers 55, Loggers 53
KNAPPA — Clatskanie
pulled off a rare victory Fri-
day night — winning a boys
basketball game at Knappa.
The Loggers — who were
10-1 at home last season —
came up short in a nonleague
game against the Tigers, as
Clatskanie built a halftime
lead, then rallied in the fourth
quarter for a 55-53 win.
Knappa took a two-point
lead into the ¿nal period,
and led 53-51 following
two Braedon Eltagonde free
throws with 50 seconds re-
maining.
The Tigers tied the game
on the next possession, the
Loggers missed at the other
end, and Clatskanie’s Andrew
Norgren scored on a short
jump-hook with four seconds
left for the winning points.
Knappa missed on a
3-pointer as time ran out.
“It was a good game,” said
Knappa coach Chris Spencer.
“We had some foul trouble
and played a little short-hand-
ed, but we traded baskets the
whole fourth quarter, and had
some good looks at the end.”
Dale Takalo scored a
game-high 21 points for the
Loggers, before fouling out
with four minutes left. Knap-
pa also lost Ethan Rubus to
fouls, and was playing with-
out Dakota Severson.
Knappa was 9-for-18 from
the free throw line, to Clats-
kanie’s 16-for-24.
Jason Miller added 13
points and Colton Weirup
scored nine for the Loggers,
who play at Warrenton Tues-
day.
Warriors drop two
VERNONIA — The War-
renton boys basketball team
took part in the four-team
Vernonia Tournament over
the weekend, and came up
short in a pair of games.
Waldport defeated the
Warriors 44-27 Friday, and
Riverdale topped Warrenton
in a Saturday consolation
game, 48-33.
Ilwaco 61, Naselle 32
ILWACO, Wash. — A trio
of Ilwaco players scored in
double ¿gures Saturday night,
