SPORTS IN BRIEF
Warrenton crushes Vernonia
The Daily Astorian
WARRENTON — The
Warrenton Warriors ran up,
down and around the Verno-
nia Loggers in a Northwest
League football game Friday
night, for a 42-18 victory at
John Mattila Field.
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-

The big play of the drive was a
fourth-and-nine pass from Wil-

yards to the Tillamook 6.
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).
