SEASIDE — Banks kept
it close for over two quarters
Friday night, before Seaside
kicked it into another gear
and gradually pulled away
for a 62-50 win in a Cowapa
League boys basketball game
at the Gulls’ Nest.
Seaside led 36-33 midway
through the third quarter, when
Hunter Thompson and Attikin
Babb drained 3-pointers to
spark an 18-7 run.
Jackson Januik scored 19
points for the Gulls, who ral-
lied around their coach on an
emotional night.
Jerry Westerholm, father
of Seaside coach Bill Wester-
holm and former coach, ath-
letic director and a supporter
of community youth athletics
throughout Clatsop County,
died Thursday.
“It was an emotional game
for us,” Bill Westerholm said.
“The kids all did a great job of
surrounding me and staying
focused. He died Thursday
afternoon. I went to be with
him at the hospital, and had
the chance to hold his hand
and say some things to him.
So it was an emotional time
for us.”
