SEASIDE — Normally it takes a balanced offensive attack to win a football game. But when you have a ground game that’s unstoppable (15.9 yards every time you run the ball), why worry about a balanced attack? Hosting a first-round state play- off Friday night at Broadway Field, the Seaside Gulls picked up right where they left off in the regular sea- son, racking up an easy 50-7 win over Cascade. Seaside had the game locked up early in the second quarter, as the Gulls ran all over the Cougars, who finish 4-5 overall. No. 3-ranked Seaside improves to 8-1, and will host sixth-ranked Estacada this week. The frontrunner to win the state 4A • Estacada Rangers (8-1) at Seaside Gulls (8-1) • Friday, 7 p.m. Offensive Player of the Year award, Seaside running back Alexander Teubner rushed for 287 yards and six touchdowns on just 18 carries. Team- mate Gio Ramirez ran eight times for 139 yards. Seaside rolled up 553 yards on the ground, while quarterback Payton Westerholm was 1-for-4 passing for eight yards. It took the Gulls just five plays to score their first touchdown, a 24-yard run by Teubner. Seaside had to punt on its next pos- session (the Gulls’ only punt of the night), but after forcing a three-and- out for the Cougars, Seaside scored three plays into the second quarter on Teubner’s 4-yard run. An interception by Seaside’s Brayden Johnson gave the Gulls the ball with under a minute remaining in the second quarter. And on the final play of the first half from the Cascade 41-yard line, the Gulls ran their ver- sion of the “Hail Mary” — a hand- off to Teubner, who ran 41 yards for a touchdown as time expired. Westerholm had a 35-yard TD run in the third quarter, and Teubner capped the Seaside scoring with an 80-yard touchdown run in the fourth. Defensively, the Gulls held Cas- cade to 85 yards rushing on 33 carries (2.6 yards per run), while the Cou- gars were just 1-for-12 on third down conversions. Teubner ran his season total to 1,816 yards rushing and 35 touchdowns.

Glide works overtime to top Knappa in 48-42 win By GARY HENLEY The Daily Astorian L ate rallies, lots of touchdowns, big defensive stands … Friday night’s state playoff at CMH Field went right down to the wire and then some, and finished with Glide scoring a 48-42 overtime vic- tory over Knappa. While Knappa was taking part in the state playoffs for the 11th time in 12 years, Glide had a key player back in the lineup, helping the Wild- cats score their first playoff victory in 36 years. Knappa entered the game with injuries along the line, but “I couldn’t be prouder of the way our kids fought,” said Knappa coach Aaron Barendse. “We were down three starting lineman and got one back on limited time. The kids that filled those four spots gave everything they had.” Knappa led 14-6 at halftime, before the wild second half. A 7-yard touchdown run by Knappa’s Eli Takalo, followed by a successful two-point conversion, had the Loggers in front 36-26 with 10:10 left in the fourth quarter. But Glide’s Zach Holland was a tough player to stop on this night. The Wildcat senior — play- ing for the first time in three weeks — scored six touchdowns (all in the second half) including a pair of short-yardage runs in the fourth that gave Glide a 42-36 lead with 4:37 remaining. Holland rushed for 244 yards and teammate Wyatt Estrada added 91 rushing yards and an interception. Not about to see their season end, the Loggers answered with a game-tying touchdown, a 38-yard scoring pass from Eli Takalo to Tristan Wallace with 1:25 left. The Wildcats stopped Knappa’s two-point conversion run, and also had to stop one more offensive pos- session for the Loggers before the teams headed to overtime. Knappa had the ball first in over- time, but the Logger drive ended when Estrada intercepted a pass. And the Wildcats ended the game shortly after that, with quarterback Caidyn Cunningham and Holland hooking up for a 22-yard, game-win- ning touchdown. “We scored late to tie it and send the game into overtime after giving up a lead,” Barendse said. “We didn’t get to the top, but in reality only one team is happy at the end of the year.” Knappa loses just five seniors, so Logger fans can expect to see their team right back in the state playoffs next season. Takalo was 14-of-30 passing for 267 yards and three touchdowns. Kanai Phillip had six catches for 86 yards and a score, and Wallace caught four passes for 109 yards. Luke Goozee had 16 carries for 152 yards and two touchdowns. “We accomplished a lot this year and the kids should hold their heads high,” Barendse said. “After losing the group we did last year, there was a lot of talk of how far we’d fall off this year. That we wouldn’t be very good. These kids never once showed that mindset and continued the Log- ger tradition of success. They played with confidence and did it the right way.” The Wildcats were “obviously better with (Holland),” he said. “But missing our line guys was the differ- ence in the game. Our boys stepped up and played their hearts out. Isaac (Goozee), Dominic (Rizzo) and Ryson (Patterson) being out with Kaleb Roe just coming back with very limited time on a rotation was the difference.” SEASIDE — The Seaside boys soccer team limped across the fin- ish line of the 2018 season Saturday night at Broadway Field. With four players out and a few others playing injured, the Gulls went down kicking, but on the losing end of a 1-0 score to vis- iting North Marion in a 4A state quarterfinal. Another few minutes and the Gulls might have scored, but as it was, the Huskies managed to hold on for the win to secure a spot in the semifinals, where No. 13 seed North Marion (9-4-3) will play Tuesday at No. 1 seed Phoenix. In other action Saturday, Wood- burn defeated Cowapa League champion Valley Catholic, 4-0. A goal by North Marion’s Edgar Lopez in the 10th minute of the first half held up over the next 70 min- utes for the Huskies, as the two teams had limited opportunities on the offensive end. Lopez took most of the shots for North Marion. The senior team captain converted his first attempt, as he took a crossing pass into the penalty area, and scored on a left- footed shot to the right post, past a diving Samson Sibony. But the Huskies had just three shots on goal in the first half, the other two shots coming off the foot of Lopez, and both saved by Sibony. Seaside had just one shot on goal in the first half (Chase Januik’s attempt deflected off the cross bar), and second-half attempts by Dodger Holmstedt and Ryan Hague were both saved by North Marion keeper Colby Gianella. A free kick by Irving Contreras sailed wide left, and a final shot on goal from Parker Conrad was also saved by Gianella. Seaside finishes 10-6 over- all. The Gulls lose 10 seniors to graduation. Sheridan Spartans shut down Warrenton in first round The Daily Astorian Debbie Morrow/For The Daily Astorian Devin Jackson, No. 11, provides a block for Warrenton quarterback Jacob Morrow. SHERIDAN — Looking for their first state playoff win since 2004, the Warrenton Warriors will have to wait at least one more year for that victory, as they came up short Friday night at Bill Chrisman Memorial Field in Sheridan. The Spartans defeated the visiting Warriors 28-3 in a first-round football game of the Class 2A state playoffs. While Warrenton was playing its first postseason game since 2012, the Spartans were making their first appearance in the playoffs since 2010. Sheridan scored first, six minutes into the first quarter. On a drive that began at the War- renton 30-yard line, Sheridan run- ning back Josh Rogers broke multi- ple tackles on a second-down carry, on his way to a 26-yard touchdown run. Sheridan broke the game open in the second quarter with back-to-back scores, as senior quarterback Jacob DeBoff capped a 73-yard drive with a 31-yard touchdown toss to Chris Savoldi, and minutes later he found Wyatt Schultz for a 23-yard touch- down and a 21-0 lead. Rogers ran the score to 28-0 with a 16-yard TD run in the third quarter. Warrenton avoided the shutout with a 27-yard field goal by Kenz Ramsey in the fourth quarter.
