Seaside scores Clatsop sweep over Astoria teams By GARY HENLEY The Daily Astorian W ARRENTON — Late- night Clatsop Clash soccer at Hal Snow Volunteer Field … it was just like old times Tuesday night on Ridge Road in Warrenton, where Astoria and Seaside put their soccer skills on the line for a Fishermen vs. Gulls doubleheader. Jerry Boisvert would have loved it. Fitting, since it was “Jerry Boisvert Night.” The winners and losers didn’t really matter — it was just a night to celebrate the local teams and the man who put North Coast soccer on the map. For the record, 160 minutes of soccer resulted in a Sea- side sweep. The Seaside boys cruised to a 7-0 win, while the Lady Gulls scored an early goal and held on for a 1-0 victory. Also for the record, there aren’t many soccer players in Clatsop County who have not received instruction from Jerry Boisvert at some point. Includ- ing many of Tuesday night’s players, from both schools. “Coach Boisvert was all about helping kids of all ages,” said Dan Gaffney, between games Tuesday night. Gaff- ney has always been heavily involved with area soccer. “He would coach any player of any gender from any part of Clatsop County and beyond,” he said of Boisvert. “His loyalty was to teach soc- cer to anyone who wanted to play the game.” Members of Boisvert’s family were introduced at midfield and honored with a plaque, commemorating Jerry Boisvert Night. “As a founding father (of the Lower Columbia Youth Soccer Association), he helped us with all the initial efforts to start this important youth organization,” Gaffney said. “His passion for the game of soccer and his love for teach- ing the game to young people was evident in his daily work to make LCYSA a vibrant and effective organization for all young people, as he organized camps, coached clubs, offici- ated games and maintained the LCYSA fields.” As for Tuesday’s action, the WARRENTON — After losing two of their first three matches in league play, the Warrenton volleyball team has made a major turnaround. The Warriors took another big step towards taking con- trol of the Coastal Range League with a four-set win Tuesday night over Rainier, 25-17, 17-25, 25-22, 25-21. The victory was Warren- ton’s first over the Mighty Columbians since 2012. Rainier had won 12 straight matches over the Warriors, before the Columbians’ luck ran out on No. 13. “We had significant leads in most of the games, includ- ing the one we lost,” said War- renton coach Staci Miethe. The Warriors trailed 5-1 in Game 1, before Avryee Miethe served Warrenton into a 7-5 lead, on its way to the win. Rainier won the second game, and held a 22-18 lead in Game 3 when Warrenton’s Claire Bussert saved the night and served the Warriors into the lead and eventual win. Serving strings by Ruby Dyer and Miethe helped the Warriors build a 19-14 lead in the fourth game, in which Warrenton “played very good defense,” coach Miethe said. “Our offense was pretty good and our blocking was exceptional.” The Warriors “gave away more points than I like on serving (six missed serves in Game 2) but I was really happy with the way we fought back and played with confidence the whole time,” she said. “We had kills from almost everyone on the floor.” Fernanda Alvarez was 19-for-20 hitting with 14 kills. Avyree Miethe was 24-for-28 with seven kills and Natalie Oseguera added five kills. Alvarez had 11 blocks (and three block kills), while Bussert was 20-of-21 at the service line with four aces. Miethe and Dyer also had four aces apiece, while Bussert and Melia Kapua anchored the defense. Bus- sert passed at 90 percent and Kapua had 13 digs with two saves. Miethe was 33-for-39 passing with 13 digs and four saves. At 5-2 in league, Warren- ton is a half game ahead of Rainier (4-2) and a half game behind Willamina (5-1). The Columbians play Willamina next Tuesday. A Rainier win would result in a three-way tie for first. Tough night on the road for Astoria, Seaside The Astoria and Seaside volleyball teams were both on the losing end of three- game sweeps Tuesday night in Cowapa League action. Banks defeated Astoria, 25-19, 25-19, 25-22, while Valley Catholic topped Sea- side, 25-16, 25-4, 25-13. Knappa sweeps Neah-Kah-Nie KNAPPA — With the vol- leyball playoffs right around the corner, the Knappa Lady Loggers are building momen- tum for the postseason. Knappa won its third straight match Tuesday night, a four-set victory over Neah- Kah-Nie, 25-17, 23-25, 25-15, 25-14. Kourtney Tischer was 21-for-22 serving, with 25 assists and four kills to lead Knappa. Hannah Dietrichs had six aces, with five digs and four kills, and Vicki Ramvick finished with nine kills. Taylin Regier served up eight aces with eight kills, and Sophie Carlson led the Logger attack with 10 kills. Aiko Miller added six digs and three aces. SCOREBOARD PREP SPORTS SCHEDULE Hailey Strimple-Fields, far left, prepares to control the ball for Seaside on a throw in. night opened with an easy win for the Seaside boys. The Gulls built a 2-0 half- time lead, then scored three goals in the opening 10 min- utes of the second half to pull away. Seaside added two late goals to break the record for the most goals scored in a Clat- sop Clash game, snapping the mark held by the 1997 Gulls (in a 6-1 win over Astoria). It took just over seven min- utes for Seaside to score the first goal, a shot from the left side by Bryce DeWinter that was just out of reach for Asto- ria keeper Tony Tumbarello. Seaside did not score again until the 38:27 mark into the game. A foul on the Fishermen resulted in a free kick for the Gulls from 30 yards out. Irving Contreras’s shot glanced off the Astoria wall and into the upper left corner of the net for a 2-0 lead. Seaside’s Chase Januik was injured on a hard foul in the 27th minute and had to be helped from the field, but Januik returned in the second half and scored two goals in less than two minutes, both in the first six minutes of the half. He scored on a crossing pass from DeWinter at the 4:17 mark, then scored into an open net at 5:57 for a 4-0 lead. Januik assisted DeWin- ter on a close-range goal in the 49th minute, and the Gulls tacked on two goals in the final five minutes from Daniel Angulo (assist from DeWin- ter). DeWinter scored the hat trick with his third goal with just 30 seconds remaining, the assist from Januik. Porter Whitsett had a big night defensively for the Fish- ermen, thwarting several Sea- side attacks. Seaside 1, Astoria 0 In the girls’ game, Seaside had just two shots on goal the entire night, but escaped with a 1-0 win. The Gulls avenged a loss to Astoria earlier in the season, in which the Fishermen ral- lied from a 1-0 deficit with two goals in the final three minutes. There was no miracle rally in this one. Off a pass up the middle from teammate Katie Zagata, Seaside’s Jessica Angulo-Joli scored on a breakaway goal for a 1-0 lead in the 13th minute. Despite holding the advan- tage in possession time, Asto- ria could not find the tying goal. Shots off direct free kicks in the first half by Eliza- beth Whitsett and Meghan O’Meara both came up empty, and a Gracie Cummings-to- Nara Van de Grift play was stopped by Seaside keeper Taylor Carson. The Gulls managed to turn Astoria attacks away, with defensive stops for Brianna Hill, Annaka Garhofer and Haily Strimple-Fields. Likewise, the Fishermen played tough defense in the second half, not allowing a sin- gle shot on goal.
