Coming off a 70-21 loss at Knappa two weeks ear- lier, the Warriors (3-2 over- all) made good use of their bye week to prepare for the other Loggers, who drop to 1-5. The Warriors were never challenged, building a 35-6 lead in the first half. Warrenton quarterback Jacob Morrow did most of the damage, rushing for 299 yards and four touchdowns on just 18 carries. Devin Jackson added 23 carries for 70 yards and two scores. Warrenton coach Ian O’Brien said, “Nic Pior, Kale’o Kapua, Mark Warren, Jake Morrow, Gio Martinez all had five or more tackles. We recovered multiple fum- bles, as the weather condi- tions made for a sloppy night for both teams handling the football.” For the Warriors, Hordie Bodden had a key intercep- tion in the first half which led to points. Warrenton’s offense was on the field for much of the night, as the defense slowed an aggres- sive Vernonia rushing attack. Kenzie Ramsey was perfect on point-after touchdown attempts. “I was proud of our kids bouncing back after the last league game,” O’Brien said. “We played like we are capa- ble. The offensive line did an outstanding job. Mark War- ren played his best game of his season on the offensive line.” Still, “we have to do a better job taking care of the ball,” he said. “We had too many fumbles and turnovers. Two turnovers inside the red zone are some things to clean up. We are looking forward to head down Highway 101 to battle a great Neah-Kah- Nie team.” Neah-Kah-Nie scores first win over Knappa since ’02 The Daily Astorian KNAPPA — Before the season started, one of the teams that most concerned Knappa coach Aaron Bar- endse was Neah-Kah-Nie. The coach knows football, as his concerns were real- ized Friday night at Knappa, where the Pirates scored their first win over the Loggers since 2002, 38-14. Knappa quarterback Eli Takalo was 12-of-19 for 117 yards passing, and rushed for 143 yards and two touch- downs (runs of 28 and 20 yards) on 12 carries. “We didn’t play well up front on either side of the ball as a whole,” Barendse said. “Two costly fumbles and a snap over the head of our punter to give them first-and- goal was a big difference in the game. “We didn’t play Log- ger football at all,” he added. “Back to the drawing board. Hats off to Neah-Kah-Nie. They played harder for four quarters and just ground on us. Hopefully we can both stay healthy and make a run.” The game was tied 14-14 with just over three minutes left in the second quarter. The Loggers had the Pirates fac- ing a third-and-15, when the Pirates completed a pass for 17 yards. Neah-Kah-Nie scored to take a 22-14 lead, then added a touchdown when an errant snap on a punt gave the Pirates a first-and-goal in the final seconds of the first half. The Pirates scored to make it 30-14, and “we never recovered after that,” Bar- endse said. Neah-Kah-Nie was 4-for-5 on two-point conversions. “Who knows, we might get to meet up in the play- offs,” he said. “We’d love the opportunity to play them again and give our fans the game they deserved to see. We were just off. We know it, the kids know it and I’m looking forward to getting back to work this week with the kids and improving each day.” Clatsop Clash endowment games to honor Boisvert The Daily Astorian Tuesday’s Clatsop Clash soccer match at Hal Snow Volunteer Field in Warrenton will be an endowment game, with $6 admission for adults, $4 for students (one charge for both games). Astoria will host Seaside for a doubleheader, with the boys’ contest to begin at 5:30 p.m., followed by the girls’ game. Between games, there will be a special tribute to Jerry Boisvert, the former coach, volunteer and offi- cial in the Lower Colum- bia Youth Soccer Associa- tion who also maintained the Warrenton fields, and was responsible for raising many of the funds that went into building the four-field complex. Boisvert died in Jan- uary after a nearly year- long battle with bladder cancer. Astoria gets defensive in win over Tillamook By GARY HENLEY The Daily Astorian Fourth-down plays were very kind to the Astoria Fish- ermen Friday night. From fumbled punts and pass interference calls on Til- lamook, to key runs, big pass plays and generous spots for Astoria, the Fishermen downed the Cheesemakers 25-12 in a Cowapa League football game at CMH Field. With most members of Astoria’s 2008 state cham- pionship team in attendance, the modern-day Fishermen showed that they can rise up and play some defense, too. After giving up six points on Tillamook’s opening pos- session, Astoria allowed just six more points on its way to Josh Olson rushes for the Fishermen. the victory. With one more win in their final two games, the Fishermen (2-4 overall) can start thinking state playoffs, with their No. 12 ranking in the latest OSAA poll. Astoria’s first big fourth- down play was actually a punt. The Cheesemakers — coached by Astoria graduate Kye Johnson — forced a Fish- ermen punt on Astoria’s first offensive series, only to fumble the ball back to the Fishermen. Astoria responded with a 12-play, 40-yard drive that resulted in a 28-yard field goal for Taylor Palmberg. In a game that lasted well under two hours, the Fisher- men had just one more offen- Colin Murphey/The Daily Astorian sive possession the remainder Bo Williams, far right, tosses the ball into the end zone for of the first half, and scored on Astoria. that one, too.

The Cheesemakers answered with a 75-yard kick return by Kaleb Boomer, cut- ting Astoria’s lead to 17-12. But that would be Tilla- mook’s final score of the night. Astoria ran nearly eight min- utes off the clock on its next drive that resulted in a 2-yard TD run by Stutznegger. The drive was keyed by two fourth- down pass interference calls on the Cheesemakers. Astoria’s Michael Moore ended Tillamook’s next drive with an interception. Defensively, “Balan Kolee was in the middle of every- thing, making plays,” Rub said. “Ben Carpenter, David Merry and Dylan Ploghoft all had huge games defensively, and Josh Olson had a big game and made some big plays.” Having already played the top two teams in the Cowapa League, the Fishermen finish the regular season against the bottom two, Molalla (Oct. 12) and Valley Catholic (Oct. 19). Routine win over Molalla for No. 1 Seaside The Daily Astorian SEASIDE — The Sea- side Gulls scored their usual, routine blowout victory Fri- day night, 36-7 over Molalla at Broadway Field, in the first football meeting between the two teams since Molalla joined the Cowapa League.
