players also combined for three hits and four runs scored in

Roscoe takes over coaching duties
By GARY HENLEY
The Daily Astorian
The Astoria boys golf
team is under new manage-
ment. Peter Roscoe takes
over for Kevin Goin, and
Roscoe is hoping to cook up
an eventual winner for the
Fishermen.
For the time being, it’s a
young group.
Of the five golfers who
competed for Astoria in last
year’s regional tournament,
only two return.
So it’s largely a new-look
team on the course.
Still, “There’s potential
there,” said Roscoe, who
Gary Henley/The Daily Astorian
Josh Olson and the Astoria
boys golf team will be com-
peting in Class 4A’s tough-
est district.
served as an assistant coach
for Astoria a few years back.
“We’ve got some good
young players. Like it is
with most high school golf-
ers, we’ll be working a lot
on their short game. That’s
always such a big factor at
this level.”
Kirk Fausett and Brian
Wilder were Astoria’s top
two finishers in last year’s
regional tournament, and
both were seniors.
On the other hand, Taylor
Palmberg had Astoria’s best
score in the league tourna-
ment, and he returns for his
junior season, as does Josh
Olson.
Other returners with var-
sity experience are sopho-
more Dylan Altheide-Niel-
sen and junior Conner Long.
The list of newcomers
includes some promising
talent in Jake Ficken, Tryon
Matlock, sophomore Aaron
Rickenbach and junior Mar-
cus Soderstrom, along with
Daniel Paswarck, a German
foreign exchange student.
Of course, getting any-
where in Special District 1
will be tough. For a remark-
able five years in a row, the
4A state champion has come
from Astoria’s district (Sea-
side in 2014 and ‘15, Crook
County in 2016, Scappoose
in 2017). Contending state
favorites this year include
Seaside and Valley Catholic.
HILLSBORO — Play-
ers from Astoria and Seaside
were on the course Tuesday,
as Valley Catholic hosted a
Cowapa League girls golf
invitational at Meriwether
Golf Course in Hillsboro.
Using a modified Stable-
ford scoring system, Valley
Catholic scored the team vic-
tory with 145 points, followed
by Scappoose (124) and Asto-
ria (121), with Seaside (60) a
distant fourth. Tillamook’s
team was incomplete.
Valley Catholic’s Caro-
line Hobson was the individ-
ual champion with 51 points,
edging Astoria’s Samantha
Hemsley by just one point.
Players earned points
based on their individual hole
score in relation to par. Hems-
ley finished with a personal
best 94 stroke score, while
Astoria teammate Jenna Tra-
vers tied for fourth with 42
points and a 102 stroke score.
Hemsley also had the only
birdie by any player, on the
par five 18th hole.
Tristyn McFadden and
Caitlin Hillman each had 20
points to lead Seaside.
Other Astoria scores were
Sarah Lertora (16 points),
Gracie Cummings (13 points)
and Sierra Adams (12 points).
Constance Rouda, Annal-
yse Steele, Emilie Bonacina,
Kaitlyn Boutin, Xochitl
Perez and Yaein Kim also
participated.
Sydney Rapp (17 points)
and Madi Grimm (3) also
competed for the Gulls.
Astoria’s next match will
be April 12 at Quail Valley,
in a tournament hosted by
Scappoose.

The Daily Astorian
WARRENTON — The
Warrenton Warriors hosted
a Class 3A softball power
Wednesday afternoon.
And although it was close
for a while, the softball power
left with a victory, as Dayton
scored a 10-0 win over War-
renton in a nonleague game.
The Pirates — who have
played in the last three state
championship games (win-
ning in 2015) — had a much
tougher time against the War-
riors than the final score
indicates.
Dayton was clinging to a
2-0 lead through four complete
innings, before scoring four
runs in the top of the fifth. The
Pirates added four more in the
sixth, then held the Warriors
scoreless for the 10-run, mercy
rule victory.
Dayton scored on a wild
pitch in the first inning, then
added a run in the third.
Meanwhile, Warrenton was
having a tough time against
Pirates pitcher Anika Heidt,
who gave up just four hits,
with 11 strikeouts and three
walks. The Warriors ended
up stranding all seven of their
baserunners.
Warrenton pitcher Niqui
Blodgett struck out two and
walked four, while Dayton col-
lected 12 hits.
Heidt helped her cause by
going 3-for-3 with two dou-
bles and driving in three runs.
Dayton’s Malina Ray and
Katie Jacks scored three runs
apiece, as the No. 3-ranked
Pirates improved their over-
all record to 7-5. Four of Day-
ton’s losses came in nonleague
games on a recent road trip to
California.
Warrenton (3-5) hosts a
nonleague game Friday at
4:30 p.m. with Knappa, before
beginning league play next
week vs. Rainier.
