Ilwaco Ocosta Teubner runs wild in Gulls’ win The Daily Astorian SEASIDE — The Seaside Gulls will have to wait ‘til next year to get their Cowapa League title … but they’re still very much in the running for a state champi- onship — this year. Seaside put the finishing touches on a great regular sea- son Friday night, with a 19-14 win over eighth-ranked Banks at Broadway Field. After a bye next week, the No. 5-ranked Gulls will be one of the frontrunners for the 2017 4A state title, which would be their first since 1994. The Gulls will host a Sweet 16 game Nov. 3 or 4. A big day for Alex Teubner on offense, and turnovers on defense helped Seaside win Friday’s contest. Banks ran 20 more offensive plays than the Gulls, and out- gained Seaside 431 to 366 — but the Braves also had four turnovers to Seaside’s one. The Gulls jumped out to a 13-0 lead in the first quarter, following a 21-yard Payton Westerholm to Gio Ramirez touchdown pass, and a 3-yard run by Teubner. But the Braves battled back with two scores before halftime for a 14-13 lead at the break. There was only one score in the second half, and it belonged to the Gulls. Westerholm found Teubner for a 15-yard touchdown play in the third quarter. And the score held up, as the Gulls’ defense held off the Braves in the final quarter. Ramirez, Westerholm and Dun- can Thompson each had an inter- ception for the Gulls, and Teubner recovered a fumble. Teubner had one of the biggest ground games in Seaside history, rushing for 279 yards on 29 car- ries, with a long run of 44 yards. Westerholm completed 3-of-7 passes for 45 yards, with two of his completions going for touchdowns. The Gulls had 321 yards rush- ing, while the Braves had 321 yards passing. Scappoose Indians post their final Cowapa win over Astoria Fishermen The Daily Astorian The Scappoose football program will likely have a tough challenge at the 5A level beginning next school year, so the Indians made the best of their last game as a member of the 4A Cowapa League Friday night at CMH Field. After giving up the first three points of the game to Astoria, Scap- poose scored the next 36, on its way to a 36-3 win over the Fishermen in a league finale. Both teams advance to the post- season, with the Indians receiving a first-round bye as the Cowapa League champion. Ranked 16th in the final 4A OSAA rankings, Astoria will take part in a regional play-in game next weekend — day, time and opponent to be announced. In two of their three previous games at CMH Field this season, the Fishermen won with shutouts (3-0 over Gladstone, 7-0 vs. Tillamook). And after a scoreless first quar- ter Friday, Astoria was on its way to another, leading 3-0 on a 26-yard field goal by Andrew Schauermann on the first play of the second quarter. But Scappoose senior Tevin Jean- Colin Murphey/The Daily Astorian Dylan Matteucci runs the ball for the Astoria Fishermen. nis returned the ensuing kickoff 60 yards to the Astoria 20-yard line, and Jeannis was in the end zone seconds later, catching a 20-yard touchdown pass from Jerad Toman on first down. Scappoose placekicker Benji Davidson added a 34-yard field goal just before halftime, for a 9-3 Indians’ lead at the break. And it did not take long for Scap- poose to take full control in the sec- ond half. After forcing the Fishermen to punt on their first series, the Indians scored in just three plays, a 30-yard run by Jack Eggers. The senior running back rushed for 130 yards on just 15 carries, scor- ing again on a 16-yard run with 3:30 left in the third quarter. Scappoose had two touchdowns wiped out by penalties, as the Indians were flagged eight times for 70 yards, but they still managed to score twice in the fourth quarter. Jimmy Jones had a 40-yard TD run, and Connor McNabb caught a 20-yard scoring toss from Toman to cap the Scappoose scoring. Tyler Ranta had 47 yards rushing for the Fishermen in his last game at CMH Field, while Astoria quar- terbacks Karsten Johnson and Trey Hageman were a combined 8-for26 passing for 112 yards. Justin Villa caught four passes for 34 yards. Loggers dominate (again) in 46-6 win The Daily Astorian KNAPPA — Knappa took a break from league play Friday, and didn’t miss a step in pounding out their sev- enth straight win of the season, 46-6 over Central Linn on the Loggers’ home field. Knappa continues to walk through the competition unchallenged through seven games, their average score each week being 43 to seven. Ranked second out of the 27 teams at the 2A level, the Loggers can fin- ish off a perfect regular season next Friday against Gaston (1-5 overall). The Greyhounds have been outscored 149-35 in their last four games. It’s a fun season to be a Knappa Logger. “I’m super proud of our kids,” said Knappa coach Aaron Barendse. “We played a very choppy team, we stuck to the game plan and kept our composure. The boys did a great job representing our program, school, community … but most importantly themselves. These kids are special.” The Loggers are going to score lots of points per game no matter who the opponent is, but ultimately it may be the defense that leads them to their first state title since 2008. “The defense stuck to the game plan and stuffed a good football team,” Barendse said. “Braedon (Eltagonde), Luke Goozee, Jacob Ford, Cody Stuhr were asked to do a less-than-glamorous job. They took it on and completely ruined Central Linn’s power run game. Reece (Hunt) and Jaxson (Goodman) played great up front as well.” On the outside, defenders “Joe (Ramvick) and Eli (Takalo) did great stretching plays out,” he said. “Mason Hoover had another great game defensively, as well did (Spencer) Teague. Kanai (Phillip) once again took away their top receiver and Reu- ben’s (Cruz’s) physical play stuffed anything that looked like it would break. Great team effort defensively.” Meanwhile, the Knappa offense was its usual unstoppable self. “We came out firing on all cylin- ders,” Barendse said. “Mason Hoover had a huge run early to give us our first TD. The line blocked very well. Kanai had some big receptions and Bubba (quarterback Kaleb Miller) was Bubba, calm, cool and collected making some great plays with his arm and feet.” Goozee also had a big run for a touchdown. “It was a huge team win for us,” Barendse said. “To play a physical team and beat them at their game in the trenches was great to see. Looking forward to next week’s game and fin- ishing up the regular season.” The Astoria volleyball team’s appearance in the regional play-in round was a walk in the park Sat- urday afternoon, as the Lady Fish- ermen made quick work of their match with North Valley, winning 25-11, 25-13, 25-7. And now it’s on to the Sweet 16 for Astoria, which will hit the road for the next round (Saturday, Oct. 28), possibly a long road trip to either Crook County or Baker. No matter where they go, Asto- ria coach Jessie Todd and the Lady Fish will be happy to be there. “They’ve never been there before,” Todd said of her team. “And it’s real exciting that we’re still playing. At this time last year, we were done. We were 28th in the state (Astoria is now ranked sev- enth in the final ranking), and we missed the play-in round.” Astoria was never threatened in Saturday’s matinee, as they dis- posed of the Knights in three quick games. “I was very pleased,” Todd said. “The girls were really focused. They came in early, and they came out strong once the match started, right from the start. And they stayed strong throughout.” Kes Sandstrom had a team- high 11 kills and a block, while Julia Norris added eight kills and a block. Darian Hageman also got in on the attack, with six kills to go with two blocks. Corrin Howard finished with 25 digs, and Chelsea Christensen added 16 digs. “We talked after the match about going on the road and being ready,” Todd said. “I just said, ‘there’s 16 teams left, and you’re one of them.’ I think they can appreciate that, and they’re excited to be there.” It will be Astoria’s first state playoff match since 2014, when the Fishermen lost a first round match at Marshfield. Two years ago, Todd took her Sheridan team to the 2015 3A state tournament at Forest Grove High School, where this year’s 4A tour- nament will take place Nov. 3-4. In other regional play-in action Saturday, Seaside was unable to secure a return trip to the Sweet 16, as Sweet Home swept the Gulls, 25-17, 25-7, 25-21. Royals romp to 42-19 win over Warrenton The Daily Astorian PORTLAND — Portland Christian turned a seven-point halftime lead into a 42-19 victory Friday night, as the Royals hosted Warrenton in a Lewis & Clark League football game. For the second week in a row, the Warriors played well early, as a 2-yard touchdown run by Logan Fischer gave Warrenton an early lead. The Royals answered with a pair of second-quarter scores — a 48-yard run by Zach Cummins and a 13-yard jaunt by Kane Milhalak, for a 14-7 lead at halftime. Portland Christian was able to open up a 35-7 advantage in the opening minutes of the final period, before the Warriors were able to score a pair of fourth-quarter touchdowns, including a 47-yard punt return by Preston Miller and a 7-yard run by Fischer. Portland Christian had 354 yards in total offense, to Warren- ton’s 138. Warrior quarterback Jacob Morrow was 3-for-18 pass- ing for 61 yards, while Fischer rushed for 77 yards on 24 carries. Warrenton hosts Clatskanie Friday.
