The Royals won 42-15. Royals overcome penalties, Warriors in 42-15 victory By GARY HENLEY The Daily Astorian W ARRENTON — The Warren- ton Warriors hosted their irst — and only — league game at home Monday night at John Mattila Field. And while Portland Christian had prob- lems of its own, the Royals still managed to leave town with a 42-15 win over the War- riors, in Lewis & Clark League football action. The Warriors held Portland Christian to just three irst downs in the second half, but four Warrenton turnovers and a 36-0 half- time deicit were too much to overcome for the Warriors, who fall to 0-7 overall, 0-1 in league. Warrenton hits the road for its inal two league games (at Clatskanie, at Rainier). The Royals did all they could to help the Warriors … which included scoring points for Warrenton. Late in the third quarter, the Royals mis- handled a snap on a punt attempt from their own end zone. Instead of punting the ball, Portland Christian’s Hunter Endresen threw the ball out of bounds — resulting in an intentional grounding call in the end zone, and the irst two points of the game for the Warriors. In addition, several big plays by the Royals were called back because of pen- alties. Portland Christian was lagged 12 times for 100 yards, including eight penal- ties for 70 yards in the irst half alone. And instead of taking a knee on their inal snap to run out the clock in the fourth quar- ter, the Royals decided to run a play and fum- bled. The ball was scooped up by Warren- Warrenton’s Raymund Alcobendas stiff arms a Portland Christian player against Portland Christian on Monday at Warrenton High School.

The rest of the game belonged to the Royals, as Endresen threw four touchdowns in the irst half, and inished 13-of-24 for 282 yards. Three of his scoring tosses in the irst half went to Levi Dalzell, who caught ive passes for 110 yards, all in the irst half. Endresen added a 9-yard scoring run in the second quarter, and Chad Clark ran ive yards for a TD in the third quarter for a 42-0 lead. The Warriors scored their irst touch- down with 7:53 left in the game, as a 1-yard run by Ray Alcobendas capped a 12-play, 46-yard drive. Alcobendas rushed for 169 yards on 20 carries, which included a 27-yard run mid- way through the third quarter, in which Alc- obendas fumbled just before crossing the goal line, and the Royals recovered in the end zone. Warrenton quarterback Giovanni Marti- nez was 8-of-14 for 67 yards passing, with Preston Miller catching four passes for 24 yards. The Warriors were penalized eight times for 75 yards and lost three fumbles. Associated Press Another sweep in sight Unbeaten in six playoff games this year, the Indians can complete their second consecutive sweep with a victory at Toronto in Game 4 of the AL Championship Series. Cleveland is one win from its sixth trip to the World Series and irst since 1997. Carried by a brilliant bullpen , the Indians have limited a dangerous Blue Jays lineup to three runs in three games. All even With the Cubs and Dodgers tied at one game apiece, the best- of-seven NL Championship Series shifts to Los Angeles for Game 3. Jake Arrieta, the 2015 NL Cy Young Award winner, starts for Chicago against lefty Rich Hill. Arrieta threw his irst no-hitter at Dodger Stadium on Aug. 30 last year in a game that began shortly after 5 p.m. local time, the same starting time as tonight. Shadows can creep between the mound and home plate at that hour, which Arri- eta believes favors the pitchers. Knappa rushes for 421 yards Cheesemakers defeat Gulls, 24-2 as they pound Pirates, 60-6 The Daily Astorian The Daily Astorian KNAPPA — It isn’t easy to wrap up a league title with one week to go in a four-game league season, but that’s what the Knappa Loggers did Monday night at home. The Loggers pounded another Northwest League opponent, as they ran all over Neah- Kah-Nie, 60-6. Knappa improves to 3-0 in league, with one game remaining (Friday, at Vernonia). Gaston and Neah-Kah-Nie are currently tied for sec- ond in the Northwest League standings, at 1-1 (the Greyhounds and Pirates both have two league games left, but Knappa holds the tie- breaker over both). “We still want to go to Vernonia, play well and take care of business,” said Knappa coach Aaron Barendse, as the Loggers close in on a league title, after missing the playoffs last season. The Loggers did most of their damage on the ground in Friday’s win, rushing for 421 yards on just 26 attempts (16.2 yards per carry). Andrew Goozee (19 carries, 351 yards) scored on back-to-back runs of 69 and 39 yards, and later added a 66-yard scoring run. Knappa quarterback Kaleb Miller was 6-of- 10 passing, with touchdowns to Timber Engb- lom (70 yards) and Ethan Rubus; and backup quarterback Eli Takalo got in on the action, throwing a touchdown pass to Mason Hoover. “Our offensive and defensive lines played outstanding,” Barendse said. “I was real proud of the guys. We played fast and physical. It was really our irst complete game we’ve played all season. “The seniors played well on Senior Night — Bubba (Kaleb Miller) played great, Mitch Geisler, Ethan Rubus, Andrew Alder … they all had big games.” Knappa improves to 4-3 overall, the only team in the NWL with a winning record. SEASIDE — Tillamook spoiled Seaside’s Home- coming night at Broadway Field Monday, as the Chee- semakers scored a pair of late touchdowns in a 24-2 win over the Gulls. The game was a makeup of a game postponed from Friday of last week. Tillamook was clinging to a slim 10-2 lead midway through the second half, when Cheesemaker running back Mark Weir scored on a 7-yard run with 2:09 left in the third quarter. The Gulls were unable to muster much offense, even with sophomore quarterback Payton Westerholm back in the lineup. Seaside was forced to punt from its own 3-yard line late in the game, and Tillamook took advantage of the good ield position, with quarterback Tilor Hurliman cap- ping a short drive with a 9-yard run with 1:42 remaining. It was the irst win of the season for the Cheesemakers (1-6), coached by Astoria High graduate Kye Johnson. The Gulls (2-5 overall, 0-4 in league) close out the regular season Friday at home vs. seventh-ranked Banks.
