Neah-Kah-Nie
Pirates rally for
win at Warrenton
The Daily Astorian
WARRENTON — Warrenton
held a 14-12 lead in the first half,
but the Warriors are still searching
for their first win, as Neah-Kah-
Nie rallied for a 34-14 win Friday
night in nonleague football action
at John Mattila Field.
Pirate junior quarterback Josh
Longfellow had two touchdown
passes to soph-
omore
Des-
tin
Donald-
son to lead the
Neah-Kah-Nie
offense.
The
Pirates shut out
the Warriors in
the second half, highlighted by a
pair of interceptions from junior
Jack Porter, who returned one for
a touchdown with two minutes
left in the game.
Warrenton plays at Nestucca
Friday, as the Warriors still have
three more nonleague games
before beginning their three-game
league season Oct. 13.

Fishermen shut down Warriors 28-7
By GARY HENLEY
The Daily Astorian
Following a low-scoring 3-0 win over
Gladstone the previous week, the Astoria
Fishermen were back to their usual antics Fri-
day night at CMH Field — forcing turnovers
and big stops on defense, and long scoring
drives on offense.
In short, the Fishermen showed what “rou-
tine” looks like, in a 28-7 nonleague win over
Philomath.
Astoria had two runners over the 100-yard
mark, and the Fishermen defense — when it
had to be — was solid for most of the night,
forcing three turnovers and limiting the War-
riors to just 43 yards of total offense in the
second half.
Most of all, the Fishermen finished strong,
scoring a pair of touchdowns and rolling up
eight first downs in the fourth quarter.
Senior Tyler Ranta had one of his biggest
nights, rushing for 136 yards and two touch-
downs on 24 carries; and quarterback Tris-
tin Wallace ran 17 times for 108 yards and a
score, in addition to throwing for 98 yards and
a touchdown.
Astoria improves to 2-1 overall, and
also climbed to seventh in the latest OSAA
rankings.
Philomath drops to 1-2. The Warriors only
Justin Villa intercepts a pass in the end zone.
had two good offensive drives — the first
ended with an interception in the end zone,
and the second resulted in Philomath’s lone
score, a 1-yard run by Dakota Kantor in the
second quarter.
Still, Kantor’s touchdown had the game
tied 7-7 at halftime (shades of Astoria’s game
with Gladstone, which was 0-0 at the break).
But whatever adjustments the Fishermen
made at halftime, they worked.
Astoria took the opening kickoff in the
second half, and drove 71 yards in 12 plays,
capped by Ranta’s 5-yard touchdown run.
The first two Philomath possessions of the
second half ended in failed fourth-down con-
versions, and the Fishermen took advantage
on their third series of the half.
Sparked by a 15-yard completion from
Wallace to Zac Patterson, Wallace scored on
a quarterback keeper from a yard out, pushing
the lead to 21-7.
On the next play from scrimmage, Asto-
ria’s Karsten Johnson intercepted a Kenan
Conner pass, and Wallace capped a 58-yard
drive with a 15-yard TD toss to Justin Villa
with 2:21 left in the game.
And just to get their second string offense
some work, the Fishermen recovered the
ensuing onside kick to run out the clock.
Wallace was 9-of-18 passing, with four
completions to Villa for 50 yards. Villa also
intercepted a Warrior pass in the end zone,
and made a touchdown-saving tackle on Phi-
lomath’s Matt Hamilton in the second quarter.
The Fishermen take to the road for the next
two weeks to begin Cowapa League play, at
Valley Catholic next Friday, and at Seaside
Sept. 29.

hold off Regis, 40-13

SEASIDE — Two programs
headed for completely different sea-
sons met on the field Friday night in
Seaside.
And the results were predictable:
Seaside 60, Yamhill-Carlton 6.
The game went into the 45-point
mercy rule in the second quarter, with
the Gulls tacking on two scores in the
second half.
Seaside improves to 2-1, having
scored 107 points in its two victories.
Yamhill-Carlton falls to 0-3, and has
been outscored 130-30 in the three
games.
Nearly
everything
worked
for the Gulls in Friday’s game.
They racked up 397 yards in total
offense, averaging 11.3 yards per
play. Alex Teubner was the big
ground-gainer, rushing for 160 yards
on just seven carries (more than 22
yards per run).
The Daily Astorian
Jeff Ter Har/For The Daily Astorian
Seaside’s Alex Teubner (2) aver-
aged more than 22 yards per run.
Quarterback Payton Westerholm
completed just 2-of-4 passes, both for
touchdowns, including a 55-yarder
to Duncan Thompson, and 16 yards
to Teubner.
Gio Ramirez added 78 yards rush-
ing on seven attempts, and scored on
a 38-yard run.
STAYTON — Regis held an
early 7-6 lead over Knappa, and
had hopes of scoring an upset Fri-
day night, in a 2A nonleague foot-
ball game at Stayton.
But those hopes were dashed
in the second half, with the No.
8-ranked Loggers outscoring
Regis 28-6 for a 40-13 victory.
Knappa improves to 3-0 overall,
while the Rams drop to 0-3.
Knappa has the fourth-highest
scoring offense at the 2A level,
and the 13 points allowed are
tied with Santiam for the fewest
allowed.
The Loggers suffered a few
injuries Friday, but even their bye
week is coming at the right time,
as Knappa will not play again
until Sept. 29, at Nestucca.
“A few guys went down and
some young guys stepped up,”
said Logger coach Aaron Bar-
endse. “We continue to stay
focused and finish strong.
“We were a bit sloppy in the
first half, but really pulled together
and played great team football,
mid-third on,” he added. “Our
boys just continue to respond to
adversity positively. I couldn’t be
prouder of how they’re playing
and lifting each other up.”
This week’s bye (the Log-
gers were originally scheduled to
play Colton, before the Vikings
canceled), “hopefully will get us
healed up and ready for league
play,” Barendse said.
Hat trick for Byrd, Astoria Fishermen
defeat Estacada Rangers in 6-3 victory
Kalama Chinooks
top Ilwaco
Fishermen, 44-6
Aldo Cruz, helping Astoria improve
to 3-1 overall.
“Estacada only had two subs, so
they were stretched pretty thin,” said
Astoria coach Lee Cain, whose team
is ranked No. 2 in the state, in the lat-
est OSAA rankings. “But they were a
lot tougher than I expected, and they
really battled.”
Astoria keeper Jake Hurd made
seven saves in goal, while “Jose Gon-
zalez really did an incredible job on
the back line for us,” Cain said. “Aldo
Cruz also played great, and we have a
sophomore, Michael Postlewait, who
has stepped in and is playing well.”
KALAMA, Wash. — Kalama
held a 21-0 lead after one quar-
ter, on its way to a 44-6 win over
Ilwaco Friday in nonleague foot-
ball action.
Quarterback Alex Dyer tossed
a pair of touchdown passes (to
Tucker Wetmore and Grant Van-
denberg) in the opening quarter,
and Wetmore ran 67 yards for a
third period touchdown, as Kala-
ma’s lead reached 44-0.
Ilwaco’s lone score came with
14 seconds left, a 2-yard pass from
Parker Keach to Tenyson Ramsey.

ESTACADA — The Astoria boys
soccer team tuned up for league play
with a 6-3 nonleague win at Estacada
Saturday.
Astoria’s Trevor Byrd scored his
third hat trick of the season, with
three goals in the victory.
One of Byrd’s goals came via a
penalty kick, while teammate Cole
Beeson also scored on a penalty kick
for the Fishermen, who led 5-1 at
halftime.
Other Astoria goals came from
freshman Josh Condit and junior
Beeson picked up two assists to
go with his one goal, with another
assist coming from junior Bladimir
Zaragoza.
The Fishermen open Cowapa
League play Wednesday at Valley
Catholic, followed by the Clatsop
Clash Saturday at Seaside’s Broad-
way Field.
In girls’ soccer action Saturday,
Estacada and Astoria battled to a 0-0
draw.
