Area wrestlers have
field day at Warrenton
By GARY HENLEY
The Daily Astorian
Local wrestlers won big Saturday in the
annual Warrenton Invitational at Warrenton
High School.
Ilwaco won the team title with 206 points,
followed by Rainier (170) and Warrenton
(154), while Knappa, Astoria and Seaside
placed fifth, sixth and seventh, respectively, in
the 10-team field.
“The kids wrestled hard for the home
crowd,” said Warrenton coach Corey Conant.
“It was an awesome atmosphere for our team
to compete in.”
The Warriors had one individual champion,
as junior Kaden Gilbert won the title at 195
pounds, one year after losing in the finals as a
member of the Astoria wrestling team.
This time around, Gilbert pinned his oppo-
nent in the championship bout.
The only other Warrior to reach the finals
was senior Brandon Williamson, who placed
second at 138.
Warrenton had multiple athletes place third:
Freshman Lucas Thompson (106); freshman
Nic Pior (138); junior Giovanni Martinez at
152 (following a 1-0 loss in the semifinals);
senior Caden Hans (170); senior Morgan Buoy
(182); and senior Beau Reynolds was 4-1 for
third at heavyweight.
Warrenton also had a trio of wrestlers add
points with fifth-place finishes: sophomore
Armin Rodriguez (132), senior Justin Ste-
phens (170), and sophomore Leo Thompson
(195).
The Warriors also won on the girls’ side,
where senior Alma Hinojosa and junior Ana
Schenbeck each went 2-0, to meet in the final
at 132, where Hinojosa capped her tournament
with a victory.
Elsewhere, Warrenton sophomore Isabella
Carr finished first in her group at 145; soph-
Donald Latourette of Seaside eventually pinned Warrenton’s Armin Rodriguez in this
match at 132 pounds.
omore Jade Freniere placed first in the 200-
pound group; and junior Ruby Dyer finished
second in the heavyweight class.
“It had been a while since we had finished
in the trophy race,” Conant said, “and it felt
good to see the team hold that trophy in their
home gym for their fans and families.”
The Knappa Loggers had their own share of
success with two individual champions from
the same family.
Andrew Goozee won a title in last year’s
meet, and this year it was Luke Goozee at 132
pounds and Isaac Goozee at 182. Both were 3-0
on the day, and pinned all of their opponents.
Logger Jade Somoza was 2-1 for second in
the girls’ 113-pound group; and Robert Pina
placed third at 120. Shadia Somoza added a
fourth place in the girls’ 132-pound group.
“The team did real well again, considering
we only had six scoring wrestlers in the team
score,” said Knappa coach Dan Owings. “The
Goozees had an excellent tournament. Isaac

Durant leads short-handed Warriors past Blazers
By JANIE MCCAULEY
Associated Press
OAKLAND, Calif. — Golden
State returned from a dominant road
trip that might help shape its season
and showed once more how important
depth is to its success.
Kevin Durant had 28 points,
nine rebounds, five assists and three
blocked shots, leading the short-
handed Warriors past the sluggish
Portland Trail Blazers 111-104 on
Monday night.
Golden State played without two-
time MVP Stephen Curry, who is
nursing a sprained right ankle and
missed his third straight game. Dray-
mond Green sat out with a sore right
shoulder while starting center Zaza
Pachulia was sidelined for his second
game in a row because of soreness in
his left shoulder.
“These nights are really power-
ful for a team where guys are able
to get out there who aren’t usually in

the lineup,” coach Steve Kerr said.
“Makes them feel good, makes us feel
good and just strengthens the lineup.”
Portland star Damian Lillard
scored a season-high 39 points with
five 3-pointers playing back home in
Oakland. He hit a 3-pointer late in the
first half with Durant in his face and
pumped his arm to celebrate.
Durant, who earned Western Con-
ference Player of the Week honors on
Monday, shot 11 for 21. Klay Thomp-
son overcame a cold shooting start
to score 24 points, and reserve Nick
Young contributed 12 points in 13
minutes before leaving with a concus-
sion in the third quarter.
David West scored 10 points to
reach double figures over consecutive
games for the first time with the War-
riors and first since 2015-16 for San
Antonio. He also had four blocks.
“I just thought our focus 1 through
12 was where it needed to be,” West
said. “We were able to take care of
business.”
Rookie Jordan Bell scored in dou-
ble figures for the second time with 11
points.
older wrestlers did extremely well.”
Elsewhere, “Sunny Bay (fifth at 138) had
some exciting matches and did well for being
the first year on the team,” he said. “Robert
Pina only lost to the eventual champion. Kaleb
(Roe) is starting to put it together and won half
of his matches (at 170).”
For Astoria, Juan Jimenez (106) and Trey
Hageman (160) won individual titles, while
Hageman was named Most Inspirational in the
upper weights bracket.
“Trey wrestled well, and dominated his
field,” said Astoria coach Roy Sanchez. “Juan
won his first tournament and beat a state
qualifier from last year in the finals. Dal-
ton Somers won the first medal of his career,
and has grown so much that he won as many
matches this tournament as all of last year. Jeff
(Stutznegger) had a stacked bracket at heavy-
weight, but won half his matches. He should be
strong when he goes down to 220.
“Our team is small but what we have is very
solid.”
No suspensions for Seahawks
after Jacksonville meltdown
By TIM BOOTH
Associated Press
RENTON, Wash. — The Seat-
tle Seahawks will not face any sus-
pensions for the melee that broke out
at the conclusion of Sunday’s loss to
Jacksonville.
It’s the only upside for Seattle to
come from the ugly, unflattering con-
clusion to the loss which will certainly
result in hefty fines and another tar-
nished moment where the Seahawks
showed they don’t handle losing very
well.
“Everybody is remorseful,” Seat-
tle coach Pete Carroll said Monday.
“We don’t want to play like that. We
don’t want to look like that ever.”
The league is still reviewing the
fracas that broke out in the closing
moments of Jacksonville’s 30-24 vic-
tory for potential discipline, but no
suspensions will be coming.
Michael Bennett, Sheldon Rich-
ardson and Quinton Jefferson were all
flagged for personal fouls. Jefferson
and Richardson were both ejected,
and all three will be expecting letters
from the league for their involvement
in the ugly conclusion.
Jefferson’s reaction was the most
egregious as the defensive tackle
attempted to climb into the stands after
fans threw what appeared to be bottles
at him as he was leaving the field. He
was pulled back by team staff.
“That was wrong. He was wrong.
I’ve talked to him about it,” Carroll
said. “Professional athletes, people
can say whatever they want to say and
that’s kind of what comes along with
it. You have to be able to deal with it
professionally. He lost it. He feels ter-
rible about it. It’s not the kind of kid he
is. He emotionally got overrun and he
lost it. Fortunately people restrained
him and all that.”
