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.

Gulls rally for fi rst win
Seaside improves
to 1-1 with win
By GARY HENLEY
The Daily Astorian
SEASIDE — There’s noth-
ing like a dramatic win in front
of your home fans to get a team
back on track.
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

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.
