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.
