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-

ton’s Logan Fischer, who returned it 14 yards
for a touchdown with three seconds left.
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.

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 — 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.
