SPORTS THE DAILY ASTORIAN • MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 2016 7A SPORTS IN BRIEF FOOTBALL Toledo defeats Ilwaco TOLEDO, Wash. — Toledo rolled up 406 yards in total offense, and the Indians shut down Ilwaco’s ground game to post a 42-13 win over the Fishermen Friday in a Class 2B non- league game. Set up by a blocked punt, Toledo scored fi rst on a 3-yard run by quarterback Dalton Yoder. The fi rst of two touchdowns by Marcus Oullette made it 14-0 in the second quarter, before Ilwaco’s Alec Bell caught a 6-yard scoring toss from Jack Odneal for the fi rst Fisher- men points. Toledo answered, as Keyton Wallace scored on a 1-yard TD run with 41 seconds left in the fi rst half. The Indians scored three unanswered touchdowns in the second half before a late score by Ilwaco, Brandon McMullen catching a 24-yard pass from Odneal. Toledo fi nished with 360 yards rushing on 47 attempts, while Odneal was 20-for-26 passing for 168 yards. Bell was Ilwaco’s leading rusher, with 27 yards on fi ve attempts.

After suffering through a 44-point loss last week to North Marion, the Seaside Gulls bounced right back on the same fi eld Friday with a 19-14 victory over Clatskanie. It was exactly what you want from a bunch of Seagulls. “The kids fl ew around, played hard and made some plays,” said Seaside coach Chad Smith, who got his fi rst offi cial win as the Gulls’ coach. Seaside gambled on a few fourth down plays, and came up big to win the nonleague contest at Broadway Field, as the Gulls improve to 1-1. No fourth down play was bigger than the one right before halftime. Trailing 14-0, Seaside was facing a fourth-and-24 from the Tigers’ 32-yard line, so (why not?) Gulls quarterback Otto Hoekstre launched a Hail Mary for the end zone. Junior receiver Dawson Blanchard came down with Seaside Seagulls’ Cam- eron King, cen- ter, celebrates with teammate after a touch- down run . Hoekstre’s rainbow pass, then fought off a defender to make his way into the end zone with four seconds on the clock. The score gave the Gulls momentum going into the half- time break, and sparked their second half comeback. “That was a huge touch- down,” Smith said. “Dawson did a great job going up for the ball. We wanted to score to get some of the momentum back, and that gave our kids some confi dence. We came out and played hard in the second half.” Seaside’s defense forced a quick three-and-out for the Clatskanie offense to start the third quarter, and the Gulls responded with their best drive of the night. Seaside marched 56 yards in seven plays, highlighted by a 16-yard run from Cameron King and a Hoekstre-to-Phoenix Johnson 24-yard pass to the 1. Hoekstre scored from there. Johnson — who played at Clatskanie last year — fi nished with two receptions for 31 yards. Hoekstre was 7-of-14 pass- ing for 140 yards, three touch- downs and no interceptions. More fourth down magic: Seaside only punted once all night, and even that worked in their favor, as the punt near the end of the third quarter bounced and hit a Clatskanie player in the back. The ball was recovered by Seaside, and four plays later, the Gulls were in the end zone, as King took a short pass and rumbled his way 32 yards for a touchdown, Hoekstre’s third scoring toss in fi ve attempts. “Otto made some good deci- sions,” Smith said. “And (King) wasn’t going to be stopped until he got to the end zone. It’s nice to have a guy who’s ath- letic and can move like that. We have some smaller backs who are quicker and more elusive, but Cameron is a load to take down.” The Gulls took advantage of one more fourth down play to run out the clock. Hoekstre’s pass on a fourth- and-nine with two minutes left drew a pass interference penalty, giving Seaside a fi rst down at the Clatskanie 16. The Gulls take to the road for the fi rst time this week, Friday at Yamhill-Carlton. Fishermen win shootout at Gladstone By GARY HENLEY The Daily Astorian GLADSTONE — The Astoria Fishermen of 2016 are beginning to look a little like the Fishermen of 2008 — mul- tiple offenses, big plays, lots of points … and now a big win to go with it. Astoria won a nonleague shootout at Gladstone Friday, as the Fishermen outlasted the Gladiators 49-42 at Dick Baker Stadium. The Fishermen improve to 1-1, while Gladstone lost its second straight to a Cowapa League team, following a loss to Banks the week before. Astoria quarterback Fridt- jof Fremstad even put up some numbers that were reminis- cent of one Jordan Poyer, as the senior completed 22-of-29 passes for 393 yards and six touchdowns. Four of his scoring tosses went to Ryan Palek, all in the fi rst half, while the Fishermen had three receiv- ers top the 100- yard mark: Olaf Englund, with eight catches for 118 yards and two touchdowns; Palek (fi ve receptions, 122 yards); and Kyle Strange (fi ve catches, 110 yards). Still, the game went down to the wire. Astoria scored the fi nal touchdown with four min- utes left on a 4-yard run by Tyler Lyngstad. Fremstad was Astoria’s lead- ing ground gainer, with 55 yards on 15 carries. “Not a lot of defense,” said head coach How- ard Rub. “There were only two punts all night, both by us. “I feel good about the direction we’re headed offensively, but we have some things to shore up on defense. We had a few opportunities to stop them on third and fourth downs, and didn’t. Part of that was them, and part of that was poor tack- ling on our part.” The Fishermen held a 35-14 halftime lead, before a second half comeback by the Gladi- ators, who managed to tie the game at 42-42. Lyngstad scored the go-ahead touchdown on an inside zone run out of a full- house backfi eld. Offensively, “we knew that if (Gladstone) tried to keep eight men in the box, we could do some things passing the ball,” Rub said. “And our offensive line did a great job of protect- ing Fritz. “Ryan, Olaf, Kyle and Jacob (Olson) all had big nights catching the ball,” he added. “And Tyler Ranta had a big catch out of the backfi eld on a third-and-long.” Astoria hosts Fort Vancou- ver Friday. The Fishermen were originally scheduled to play at Philomath this week, before the Warriors were forced to can- cel their season after a hazing scandal. KNAPPA — Kennedy running back Bishop Mitchell rushed for 356 yards on just 21 carries and the Trojans built a 20-0 halftime lead on its way to a 47-14 nonleague win at Knappa Friday. Mitchell opened the scoring with a 52-yard run in the fi rst quarter, and capped the night with a 60-yard touchdown run on his only play of the fourth quarter, as the Portland State- bound senior averaged 16.9 yards per carry. In between his fi rst and last touchdowns, Mitchell had scoring runs of 12 and 65 yards. The Loggers — who will be without starting running back Andrew Goozee for a few games — managed to roll up over 200 yards in offense in the third quarter alone, but had trou- ble fi nishing drives. Ethan Rubus caught a 19-yard scoring toss from Kaleb Miller for Knappa’s fi rst points, and Kanai Phillip hauled in a 45-yard TD toss from Miller late in the third quarter. Miller was 9-of-17 passing for 183 yards, while Brae- don Eltagonde had 88 yards rushing on 13 carries. Rubus and Mason Hoover each caught three passes. Comets top the Mustangs, 36-14 COVINGTON, Wash. — Naselle scored its fi rst win of the year Friday, a 36-14 victory at Rainier Christian. Comet Donnie Edwards had fi ve receptions for 119 yards and scored three touchdowns, while quarterback Cole Dor- man threw for 241 yards (16-of-26) and two touchdowns. D.J. Wirkkala was Naselle’s leading ground-gainer with 79 yards on fi ve carries. Vernonia beats Warrenton, 38-14 WARRENTON — Warrenton continued its schedule of nonleague games against teams from the 2A Northwest League, as the Warriors hosted Vernonia Friday. And for the second Friday in a row, a Logger team left town with a win. Vernonia picked up its fi rst victory of the season, topping Warrenton 38-14 at John Mattila Field. The Warriors have two more games against Northwest League competition, Friday at Neah-Kah-Nie and Sept. 23 vs. Nestucca. VOLLEYBALL Gulls third at Cascade TURNER — Seaside went undefeated in pool play on its way to a third place fi nish in the Cascade Tournament Saturday. The Gulls scored a 25-14, 25-21 win over Corbett in the fi rst round of the championship bracket, as Tori Tomlin, Anna Huddleston and Jetta Ideue were perfect from the service line, with a combined nine aces. Maddi Utti led the Gulls with 14 kills and a .448 hitting percentage. Utti and Tomlin sparked the defense with some big blocks at the net, while Ideue had seven digs. Sisters managed to defeat the Gulls in the semifi nals, 25-17, 25-21. Utti and Tomlin were still very effective offensively, while Ideue had a 2.25 passing average. Seaside had some missed serves, which “cost us some points, which is something you can’t do against a good team,” said Seaside coach Angie Huntsman. “Sisters is a very expe- rienced, solid team, and overall I’m very happy with the way we competed.” The Gulls play Tuesday at Scappoose to open the Cowapa League season. Warriors open league with win PORTLAND — It was a successful return to league play for head coach Jim Hackwith and the Warrenton volleyball team Friday, as the Warriors powered past De La Salle 25-15, 25-15, 25-15. The defense led Warrenton, with the blocking of Landree Miethe and four digs by Sierra Lyons. Miethe also had three assists, Asia Lambert was 6-for-6 serving, and Katelynn Blodgett fi nished with six kills. Warrenton hosts matches this week vs. Clatskanie and Rainier.
