SPORTS 4A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 2016 Cougars rally for win in Seahawks optimistic injured offensive stars ive sets against Warriors will play this Sunday The Daily Astorian WARRENTON — Port- land Adventist rallied from a two-games-to-one dei- cit Wednesday night at War- renton, where the Cougars escaped with a ive-game victory over the Warriors, 15-25, 25-11, 14-25, 25-16, 15-12. Warrenton drops to 6-5 overall, while ninth-ranked Portland Adventist improves to 6-1 overall. “We played some really By TIM BOOTH AP Sports Writer RENTON, Wash. — The Seattle Seahawks are opti- mistic injured offensive start- ers Doug Baldwin, Tyler Lockett and Thomas Rawls will be able to play Sunday against San Francisco. Coach Pete Carroll said Wednesday that all three have a chance of being avail- able after suffering injuries in the Seahawks’ Week 2 loss at Los Angeles. Baldwin and Lockett suffered minor knee injuries, while Rawls has a muscle strain in his left leg. Carroll seemed most pessi- mistic about Rawls, whom he said would be limited in prac- tice early in the week. “A lot of positive things in that regard, and we’re looking forward to putting together a great week,” Car- roll said. Baldwin injured his knee when he was rolled up from behind while blocking in the irst half of Seattle’s 9-3 loss. He remained in the game, but the bigger concern was about Lockett. The second-year wide receiver suffered a sprained knee in the irst half and was on the sideline before surprisingly returning in the fourth quarter. Lockett said Wednesday that he’s played with a vari- ety of injuries in the past and had no doubt he’ll play against the 49ers. “As long as I’m not in a cofin, I’m going to be out there playing,” Lockett said. Rawls was injured in the irst half and was limited to just seven carries against the Rams in his irst start since suffering a broken ankle last December against Baltimore. Carroll said it was a muscle strain on the outside of his left leg. “It’s a rare kind of muscle that gets affected and stuff, up his shin kind of,” Carroll said. Carroll said quarterback Russell Wilson was ahead of where he was at this point a week ago in his recovery from a sprained right ankle suffered in the season opener. He said guard Germain Ifedi had a chance of returning this week. Ifedi sprained an ankle days before the opener.

The Daily Astorian Sherman says message of anthem protests getting lost By TIM BOOTH AP Sports Writer RENTON, Wash. — Seattle Seahawks corner- back Richard Sherman said Wednesday the public isn’t listening to the mes- sage NFL players are trying to send with their actions during the national anthem. While some fans are obsessing about whether players take a knee, raise a ist or lock arms during the national anthem before games, Sherman said they should be talking about the reasons why players are protesting. “More videos have come out of guys getting killed, and I think people are still missing the point,” Sherman said. “The reason these guys are kneeling, the reason we’re locking arms is to bring people together to make people aware that this is not right. It’s not right for people to get killed in the street.” Sherman did not take questions during his media availability. Instead, he walked to the podium, said a few words about this week’s opponent San Francisco and then gave a two-minute statement about what players have wanted to accomplish. Sherman’s message came after a pair of police shootings this week, one in Charlotte, North Car- olina, another in Tulsa, Oklahoma. “I do a lot of community service. I go out there and try to help kids and try to encourage them to be better and to aspire to more,” he said. “And when you tell a kid, ‘When you’re dealing with police, just put your hands up and comply with everything,’ and there’s still a chance of them get- ting shot and no repercus- sions for anyone, that’s an unfortunate time to be liv- ing. That’s an unfortunate place to be in.” Sherman’s statement came as the Seahawks are preparing to face San Fran- cisco on Sunday. Team- mate Doug Baldwin told reporters in the Bay Area that members of the Sea- hawks have had exten- sive conversations with Colin Kaepernick, who started the conversation with his decision to irst sit and then kneel during the national anthem. “It’s not just the NFL landscape. It’s across the country right now,” Bald- win said. “Obviously, we wouldn’t be having this conversation if it wasn’t for him bringing it to light. He stood on the table and shouted and got every- body’s attention. And now we have to work on the fol- low through collectively.” Cano’s sacriice ly lifts Seattle past Toronto 2-1 in 12 innings Submitted Photo Shane Spell is the new head coach for Seaside High School varsity swimming. Spell hired as Seaside swim coach The Daily Astorian Shane Spell has been named as the new varsity swim coach at Seaside High School, Athletic Director Jason Boyd announced Wednesday. Spell replaces Mike Kadi, who served as coach last year after Kadi had replaced Alex Reed following the 2014-15 season. “Shane has been a corner- stone for youth in our commu- nity for years,” Boyd said. “And as a former high school swim- mer and youth swimming coach, brings a great deal of knowledge and excitement to the Seaside High School swim team.” Dane Gouge’s Asto- ria Ford will be holding a “Drive One 4 UR School” event Saturday.

Cano delivered a sacri- ice ly in the 12th inning as the Seattle Mariners avoided a sweep with 2-1 victory over Toronto on Wednesday, pre- venting the Blue Jays from extending their wild card lead. “We’ve got to keep ight- ing,” said Cano, as the Mari- ners won for the second time in six games to remain on the edge of the playoff chase. “Keep ighting, but at the same time, have fun. Not put pres- sure on us that we must win. Just play our game and keep battling.” Knuckleballer R.A. Dickey (10-15), who pitched ive scoreless innings in his last start on Friday, came in on the 12th for his irst relief appear- ance after 29 starts. Guillermo Heredia reached on a two-base throwing error by third baseman Josh Don- aldson to open the 12th. Ben Gamel followed with an attempted sacriice bunt, and irst baseman Ryan Goins appeared to have Heredia at third, but the ball popped out of Donaldson’s glove on the tag. at Catlin Gabel, which posted a four-game win over War- renton, 25-23, 28-26, 22-25, 25-12.

Miethe led the attack with nine kills, and Morgan Blodgett tacked on ive kills for Warrenton, which returns to action next Tuesday at Portland Christian. 3 $ 3,000 OFF * OR 0% for 60 months * 3 • Cab or Open Station • Turbocharged PowerTech™ engine • Choice of two transmissions, MFWD or 2WD 3E Series Tractors $ 1 , 500 OFF implement bonus AND 0% for 60 months * 2 AP Photo/Elaine Thompson Seattle Mariners’ Mike Zunino, left, holds Robinson Cano as other players douse Cano with water after his game-winning sacrifice fly against the Toronto Blue Jays in a baseball game Wednesday in Seattle.

Robbie had a nice at bat. Didn’t try to do too much. Just stay with the ball and take care of business.” Nick Vincent (4-4) pitched two scoreless innings for the win. “It was just one of those things where we made a cou- ple mistakes and that gener- ally happens most times in extra-inning games,” Toronto manager John Gibbons said. After being blanked on two hits for eight innings, the Blue Jays tied it in the ninth on Jose Bautista’s 19th home run, a one-out solo shot to left off hard-throwing rookie closer Edwin Diaz. • Final Tier 4-compliant engines • iMatch™ Quick-Hitch compatible • Category 1, 3-point hitch JohnDeere.com/Ag &ODWVRS3RZHU(TXLSPHQW *Offer valid on purchases made between 8/3/2016 and 10/28/2016.
