10A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 31, 2018 CONTACT US FOLLOW US facebook.com/ DailyAstorianSports Gary Henley | Sports Reporter ghenley@dailyastorian.com BOYS SOCCER Gulls fly past the Eagles, advance in playoffs Seaside will host No. 13-ranked North Marion The Daily Astorian STAYTON — After losing two of their last three games and literally limping to the end of the regular sea- son, the Seaside boys soccer team is back in business. The Gulls opened the Class 4A state playoffs Tuesday evening in Stayton, where Seaside scored a 1-0 win over the No. 5-seeded Eagles, who were the only team to defeat powerhouse Woodburn this year. All of which puts the No. 12-ranked Gulls right back in the state title hunt. Seaside advances to the quarterfinals for the second year in a row, and will host No. 13-ranked North Marion (Saturday, time to be announced). The winner will face either Marist Catholic or Phoenix in the semifinals on Tuesday. In the Stayton win, Seaside’s Dodger Holmstedt scored off an assist from Chase Januik 30 min- utes into the first half for the game’s only goal, in a hard-fought, physical battle. “The goal was set up through a great network of passing,” said Sea- side coach John Chapman. “Then Dodger just blasted it in from the top of the box.” Seaside’s win was one of three games Tuesday in which low- er-seeded teams defeated high- er-seeded teams on the road. Elsewhere, North Marion topped No. 4 La Grande (2-1), and No. 15 Newport defeated No. 2 seed Ontario (2-1). Meanwhile, Seaside and Stayton were two familiar foes, meeting for the third time in three years. Stayton won the two previous regular season games, defeating the Gulls 4-1 in 2016 and 5-0 last year. The difference? “Heart,” Chapman said. “The boys played with a lot of heart.” And did the Gulls get conserva- tive after their goal? “Heck no,” Chapman said. “The Gulls are not going to ‘park the bus.’” Seaside and North Marion also played last season, with the Gulls winning a 2-1 contest at North Marion. Seaside’s Contreras named league Player of the Year ter Whitsett, junior David Ber- mudez and sophomore goal- keeper Tony Tumbarello on the first team, and senior Jon- athan Jimenez and junior Brooks Fromwiller honorable mention.

Senior defender/midfielder Irving Contreras was selected as the league’s Player of the Year for the Cowapa’s all- league team, as voted on by the league’s five coaches.

Ryan Hiestand of Banks was named Goalkeeper of the Year, and Valley Catholic’s Mike Chertude was Coach of the Year, after leading the Val- iants to the league title.

That’s the bottom line,” he said. “And we’ve got to fig- ure out why and do a better job.” Damian Lillard and Jusuf Nurkic scored 22 points each, and the Portland Trail Blazers never trailed in a 104-85 rout of the struggling Rockets. The Rockets dropped their fourth straight in their second game without James Harden, who is out with a hamstring injury, to fall to 1-5. After entering the season with eyes on a championship, the Rock- ets have rarely even been competitive, dropping their four home games by an aver- age of more than 17 points. While the Rockets cer- tainly know they need to improve, they’re also quick to point out the season is still young. “We realize that it’s early, and if you run off 10 wins in a row or something like that at some point, this would be an afterthought,” Chris THURSDAY Football — 2B crossover game: Ilwaco at Napavine, TBA FRIDAY Football — 4A state playoff: Cas- cade at Seaside, 7 p.m.; 2A state playoffs: Glide vs. Knappa, at CMH Field, 7 p.m.; Warrenton at Sheri- dan, 7 p.m. Nicolas Tubito, Jr., Valley Catholic Tony Tumbarello, So, Astoria Oscar Valencia, Sr., Tillamook Porter Whitsett, Sr., Astoria GK: Ryan Hiestand, Sr., Banks Honorable Mention Connor Bly, So., Valley Catholic Bryan Contreras, Jr., Tillamook Hayden Cottier, Sr., Banks Bryce DeWinter, Sr., Seaside Brooks Fromwiller, Jr., Astoria Jonathan Jimenez, Sr., Astoria Anthony Langton, Sr., Valley Cath- olic Dawson Marsh, So., Tillamook Adam Mayo, Jr., Banks Luke Verley, Fr., Seaside 2018-19 | 29TH SEASON COLUMBIAFORUM November 13, 2018 • 6 p.m. What Just Happened?

Now they face a sea- son-long five-game road trip where they’ll likely be with- out Harden and fellow starter James Ennis (right ham- string) for at least the first game and possibly more. The Rockets are careful not to point fingers and insist everyone must be better to turn things around. “We’re going to figure this out together,” Carmelo Anthony said. “It’s not one person.” Portland led by double digits most of the night and was up by 23 entering the fourth quarter. Houston got within 15 with about two minutes left, but that was it in front of a crowd which began steadily streaming out mid- way through the third quarter. CJ McCollum added 19 points for the Trail Blazers, who improved to 5-2 with their second straight victory. Paul led Houston with 17 points and nine assists in his second game back after a two-game suspension for his role in a fight with the Los Angeles Lakers.
