Fortunately, the Loggers were playing the winless Dragons, and Knappa still won easily, 50-31. “It was a Saturday afternoon game, and maybe we were looking ahead a little,” said Knappa coach Chris Spencer. “We will definitely have to play better Monday.” Knappa had 22 turnovers, and led only 19-6 after one quarter. Colton Weirup scored 11 of his game-high 13 points in the first period, and the Loggers led 27-8 at halftime. Dale Takalo had 10 points, and Jason Miller finished with five steals, six points, seven rebounds and eight assists. Knappa (11-0) hosts a makeup game today vs. Columbia Chris- tian (9-1).

Ilwaco wins Beach Brawl The Daily Astorian I LWACO, Wash. — The Ilwaco wrestling team was the host team Saturday, for the annual “Beach Brawl Invitational.” The event brought in 21 schools and more than 300 wrestlers, “and we pulled it off in great style,” Ilwaco coach Kevin McNulty announced. “No down time … mats were moving all day long. We began wrestling at 10:20 a.m. and our last match was completed at 6:33 p.m.” And, of course, the home squad won the team title, as Ilwaco racked up 209.5 points to take first in the field of 21 teams. Kelso was a close second at 203.5, fol- lowed by Adna, a distant third with 125. Other local teams competing included Knappa (tied with Neah-Kah-Nie for seventh, 63 points); Seaside (12th, 57 points); Asto- ria (17th, 29 points); and Warrenton (18th, 28 points). For Knappa, Andrew Goozee took first place at 195 pounds, going 3-0 to run his win streak to 23 straight. Logger Luke Goozee tied for third at 126 with a 2-1 record. Earlier in the week, Seaside hosted a three-way Cow- apa League dual with Astoria and Banks. The Braves defeated the Gulls 76-3, while Astoria topped Seaside in the Clatsop Clash portion of the dual meet, 40-24. Ten of the 14 matches between the Fisher- men and Gulls ended in forfeits, with Astoria winning three of the four matches on the mat. Astoria’s Trey Hageman scored a major decision (18-7) over Seaside’s Zachary Kuzakin at 152 pounds; Fisherman Kaden Gilbert had a 20-second fall over Jake Black at 182; and Jeff Stutznegger pinned Seaside’s Will Kautz in 3:18 at 220. Shane Smith had the lone victory on the mat for the Gulls, pinning Astoria’s Riley Ashton in 1:10. Seaside’s Andrew Gastelum posted a 9-2 decision over Joshua Hanlon of Banks. Lady Gulls shoot past Tillamook The Daily Astorian TILLAMOOK — Seaside missed 46 shots from the field and 15 free throws — but the Gulls still man- aged a 15-point win Friday night at Tillamook. The winless Cheesemaker girls basketball team put a scare into the Gulls, but Seaside remained unbeaten in Cowapa League play (4-0) with a 62-47 win. Tillamook’s Jennifer Tuatagaloa scored on an offensive rebound to start the fourth quarter, and the Chee- semakers held a brief 40-39 lead. But Seaside’s Maddi Utti had a steal and score seconds later put the Gulls up for good. Seaside was 25-for-71 from the field, 10-for-25 at the free throw line. Utti — who was in early foul trou- ble — added a three-point play later in the fourth to help Seaside pull away. Utti only had two points in the first half, but finished with 18 points, to go with six steals and six assists. Bryre Babbitt and Sydney Villegas added 13 points apiece, and Anesha Smart tossed in 10 points with five rebounds. “This was not an easy game,” said Seaside coach Mike Hawes. “Tillamook came to play, they were methodical in breaking our pressure, shot the ball pretty well and hurt us on the glass.” He added, “Tillamook took the lead somewhere there late in the third quarter and then we responded, showed some poise and had a solid fourth quarter to put the game away. But it was not easy. Bryre was huge — she made shots from a lot of dif- ferent places. She’s really becoming a solid third scorer behind Maddi and Sydney.” Gull boys cruise to win at Tillamook The Daily Astorian TILLAMOOK — Tillamook stayed with Seaside longer than most teams, but not nearly long enough Fri- day night, in a Cowapa League boys basketball game at Tillamook. The Cheesemakers were within nine points to start the fourth quarter, when the Gulls kicked in to overdrive and pulled away for an easy 74-53 win. A Tillamook basket to end the third period had the Cheesemakers within 51-42, but Seaside’s Jackson Januik opened the fourth with two 3-pointers, added another two off a steal, and Pay- ton Westerholm’s jump shot pushed the lead to 61-42. Chase Januik led a foursome of players in double figures with 19, Westerholm had 17, while Jackson Januik and Hunter Thompson scored 10 apiece. The No. 1-ranked Gulls improve to 14-0 overall, 4-0 in league. Lady Warriors score huge weekend wins The Daily Astorian WARRENTON — The Warrenton Warriors will look to finish off a per- fect four-game homestand this week, as they posted two wins in two days over the weekend. Warrenton (6-5 in league play) opened Friday with a 56-42 victory over a tough team from Catlin Gabel (1-11), followed by a Saturday night win over Riverdale (3-7), 45-24. The Warriors overcame an early 7-2 deficit against the Mavericks, out- scoring Riverdale 16-0 in the second quarter. Warrenton won it with defense, fin- ishing with 15 steals and nine blocks. Tyla Little led the offense with nine points, followed by Landree Miethe with eight, as the Warriors outscored Riverdale 38-14 over the final three quarters. Warrenton played its “most com- plete defensive game of the year,” according to coach Robert Hoepfl, in the win over Catlin Gabel. The Eagles played the Warriors tough, Hoepfl said. “They’ve been playing well lately against a lot of teams,” he said. “But we played a great team game — 11 blocks, 12 steals, and Landree Miethe had her best game of the season.” Miethe scored a game-high 22 points, with most of her points com- ing on fast breaks off steals. Warrenton boys score first win league play The Daily Astorian WARRENTON — The Warrenton boys basketball team picked up their first league win of the season Satur- day night, a 57-53 double overtime victory over Riverdale. Playing without a key starter and trailing 19-9 after one quarter, the Warriors had to stage a big rally just to get the game to overtime, then out- scored the Mavericks 9-5 in the sec- ond overtime period, with most of the Warrenton points coming at the free throw line in the overtime session. Before that, it was Dalton Knight, who had a school-record 10 3-point- ers on his way to a 34-point night to lead the Warriors. Riverdale was 18-of-60 from the field, while Warrenton made 14-of-31 shots from the 3-point line alone. The Warriors lost a 54-30 decision to Catlin Gabel the night before, and were playing without starter Tyler Whitaker. “We’re pretty worn out and the kids are pretty exhausted,” said War- renton coach Nate McBride. “But they just hung in there.” The Mavericks led 28-17 after the first quarter, before the Warrior rally began with Warrenton outscor- ing Riverdale 15-10 in the third quar- ter and 10-4 in the fourth, to force overtime. Braves battle past Astoria The Daily Astorian BANKS — Astoria was within three points with just three min- utes left, but Banks scored a few late baskets, made some free throws, and posted an eventual 65-51 win over the Fishermen in Cowapa League boys basketball action Friday. Some crucial calls did not go Astoria’s way, as the Fishermen came up short in their upset bid against the No. 7-ranked Braves. “We battled and the kids played well,” said Astoria coach Kevin Goin. “I was happy with the effort. We just got into some foul trouble, and that hurt. “They’re not as physical as Valley Catholic, but (the Braves) are big, and they hurt us on the boards.” Ole Englund, Jasyn Gohl and Ryan Palek all found themselves in foul trouble, “and we don’t have a ton of depth right now,” Goin said, with Fridtjof Fremstad and Kyle Strange still sidelined with injuries. Englund led the Fisher- men with 15 points, followed by Karsten Johnson with 12, as Astoria trailed 40-32 entering the fourth quarter, and rallied to within three points of the Braves. Dalton Renne scored 23 points and teammate Blake Gobel added 20 for Banks, which improves to 4-0 in league and plays at Seaside Tuesday. No. 1 Banks tops Astoria girls The Daily Astorian BANKS — The No. 1-ranked Banks Braves held off Astoria, 52-34, in a Cowapa League girls basketball game Friday. Freshman Julie Norris scored nine points and Alexis Wallace added eight for the Lady Fisher- men, followed by freshman Kajsa Jackson with five. Norris also tied with a team-leading four rebounds and three steals for Astoria (5-12 over- all), which hosts Scappoose (2-12) Tuesday.
