Lady Gulls bounce back from Friday’s loss in semifi nals to take third at state By GARY HENLEY The Daily Astorian league co-champs and play in this game.” OREST GROVE — Lucy Bod- ner, Maddi Utti, Sydney Villegas … the three seniors on the Sea- side girls basketball team left the fl oor in the most fi tting way possible Sat- urday at Forest Grove High School — as winners. They didn’t get the gold ring, but the Gulls did bounce back from Friday’s loss to Sutherlin in the semifi nals with a 53-40 win over Marshfi eld in the third-place game of the OSAA 4A state tournament. The victory over the Pirates gave the Gulls a third-place fi nish at state — not bad for a team that was seeded ninth in the Sweet 16 round. “Highest fi nish in the history of the girls’ program,” said Seaside’s Mike Hawes, in his fi rst year back as the girls’ varsity coach. “Another Final Eight appearance and another 20-win season. “This is obviously the best four- year stretch, so we’re really happy,” said Hawes, who took over for Wally Hamer after last season. “After yesterday, a 4-min- ute stretch of basketball today made a huge difference.” Following the loss to Sutherlin in Fri- day’s semifi nal round, the Gulls “were dis- appointed, absolutely,” Hawes said. “We felt like it was within our grasp to get to the championship. But we also said, ‘girls, we’re playing for third place in the state.’ I don’t think many were predicting us to be And once Saturday’s game tipped off, the Lady Gulls looked like they belonged there all along. Marshfi eld held an early 8-5 lead, but six straight free throws near the end of the fi rst quarter and to start the second led to a 14-1 run for the Gulls. A leaning jumper by Utti and a bank shot by Bodner had Seaside in front 19-9 with 5:10 left in the second quarter. The game quickly took a turn for the worse for Seaside, as Marshfi eld’s Saman- tha Waldrop and Alex Locati both hit 3-pointers (Locati’s with one second left in the half) to force a 24-24 halftime tie. “I was not a happy coach at halftime,” Hawes said. “I’m usually pretty calm. This was a bit more ‘we have to take care of the basketball, we have to compete!’ I felt like we weren’t doing anything during that lit- tle stretch, quite frankly.” The Pirates even opened the second half with a trey from Ravyn Miranda for a 27-24 lead. But the Gulls found a rhythm, all from the outside. Bryre Babbitt hit a mid-range jump shot and Jetta Ideue popped in a 3-pointer for a 29-27 lead. Both teams heated up in a well-played third quarter, which ended with the Pirates and Gulls still deadlocked, 35-35.
