Warrenton
girls defeat
Rainier in
league finale
SPORTS
IN BRIEF
The Daily Astorian
The Warrenton girls bas-
ketball team wrapped up the
league season Friday night
at home, where the Warriors
scored win No. 3 of the season
over Rainier, 45-23.
On Senior Night for War-
renton, junior Kenzie Ram-
sey poured in 16 points to lead
the No. 7-ranked Warriors,
who finish 9-3 in league, 18-7
overall.
Claire Bussert tossed in 15
points and Fernanda Alvarez
added eight for the Warriors,
who open the league play-
offs Saturday (place, time and
opponent to be determined).
“This group of seniors is
the first group I had as fresh-
men when I took over as head
coach, and I am a better per-
son and coach for getting to
work with them,” said War-
renton coach Robert Hoepfl.
“They are all so talented and
I’m going to be their biggest
fan going forward. They have
earned the right to keep play-
ing the next couple weeks, and
I can’t wait to see what it has
in store.”
Rainier rally tops
Warrenton boys
Rainier erupted for 35 points
in the fourth quarter Friday
night at Warrenton, where the
Columbians overcame a huge
deficit to score a 63-60 win
over the Warriors in a Coastal
Range League boys basketball
game.
Sparked by a 17-3 second
quarter, the Warriors held a
46-28 lead over the first-place
Columbians, heading into the
final period.
But Rainier caught fire in
the fourth, as Kenny Tripp —
scoreless over the first three
quarters — scored 15 in the
final eight minutes. Teammate
Devion Godfrey scored off
a steal for the go-ahead bas-
ket, and Tripp added a pair of
free throws for the final mar-
gin, offsetting a 29-point night
for Warrenton senior Dalton
Knight.
It was the fifth straight loss
for the Warriors, who clinched
a playoff spot. Clatskanie’s
win over Willamina secured
third place for Warrenton (4-8)
in the Coastal Range League
standings.
The third-place Warriors
will host fourth-place Wil-
lamina in a league playoff
game Wednesday, time to be
announced.

Seaside tops Knappa
in family affair, 79-49
By GARY HENLEY
The Daily Astorian
EASIDE — The Knappa
Loggers gave a pretty good
account of themselves Fri-
day night at Seaside. For about a
quarter and a half.
That’s about when the Gulls
turned a slim 19-18 lead into a
34-18 advantage, on their way to
a 79-49 win over the Loggers in a
nonleague boys basketball game,
and a rare Clatsop Clash meeting
between Knappa and Seaside.
Knappa had not lost by 30 or
more points since a 74-42 loss to
R.A. Long in 2013. But Seaside
does that to everybody.
Whether they’re playing the
defending 5A state champions
or the No. 1-ranked 4A team, the
Gulls are beating just about any-
one they want right now, as they
tune up for another state title run.
With two league games still
remaining, the No. 1-ranked
Gulls are 19-2 and have won 16
in a row.
After the 15-0 run in the sec-
ond period, Seaside never looked
back, despite an early chal-
lenge from Knappa. The Log-
gers led 15-14 after one quarter,
as Eli Takalo scored on a layup
at the buzzer to end the first eight
minutes.
The Gulls are not accustomed
to trailing after one quarter, nor
are they used to missing seven
straight 3-pointers, as they did to
start the second period.
But Knappa was equally cold,
and Seaside took advantage
with a successful 3-pointer from
Brayden Johnson. The Gulls
took the lead for good on a tip-in
by Payton Westerholm, who
has five cousins on the Knappa
roster.
Seaside’s Duncan Thomp-
son had three straight scores, and
Beau Johnson’s 3-pointer gave
the Gulls their 34-18 lead.
In the second quarter, Knappa
had three free throws and just one
field goal (a 3-pointer by Kanai
Phillip with 45 seconds left).
Timber Engblom kept the
Loggers within striking dis-
tance in the third quarter, when
he scored 10 of his team-high
18 points, but Seaside reeled off
another 9-0 run to pull away.
Chase Januik scored a game-
high 20 points for Seaside,
which finished 10-for-10 from
the free throw line. Ryan Hague
added 16, while Beau Johnson
and Thompson each finished
with 10.
Takalo added eight points and
Mason Westerholm score seven
for Knappa.

STANFORD, Calif. —
Sabrina Ionescu had 27 points,
nine rebounds and eight assists,
and No. 3 Oregon ran its
NCAA-best winning streak to
16 games by running away from
11th-ranked Stanford 88-48 on
Sunday to snap a 29-game los-
ing streak at Maples Pavilion.
Ionescu, who grew up in
the East Bay suburb of Walnut
Creek, scored 17 of her points
in the first half and made 12 of
20 shots as the Ducks (23-1,
12-0 Pac-12) ended Stanford’s
22-game home winning streak.
It was Oregon’s first victory on
the Cardinal’s home floor since
a 63-54 win in the initial meet-
ing between the schools at the
venue on March 5, 1987.
The loss was one of the
worst in Hall of Fame coach
Tara VanDerveer’s 33 seasons
at Stanford.

BERKELEY, Calif. — Des-
tiny Slocum scored 26 points
and No. 7 Oregon State over-
came an 11-point deficit to beat
California 82-74 on Sunday.
Aleah Goodman added 15
points, and Mikayla Pivec had
14 to help Oregon State (20-4,
10-2 Pac-12) win for the 12th
time in 14 games.
Kristine Anigwe led the
Golden Bears (14-9, 5-7) with
31 points and 18 rebounds.
She became the program’s
career leading rebounder, pass-
ing Gennifer Brandon. Asha
Thomas added 15 points, and
Jaelyn Brown had 11.

Seaside girls score
win over Knappa
SEASIDE — A hot-shoot-
ing Seaside team warmed up for
the postseason with a 64-37 win
over Knappa in a nonleague girls
basketball game Friday night at
Seaside.
The Lady Gulls were 28-for-
55 from the field, including 5-of-
19 from the 3-point line. The
only place Seaside struggled was
at the free throw line, where the
Gulls finished 3-for-15.
“Take a win and run with it,”
said Seaside coach Mike Hawes.
“We were able to get out and run
some, and Morgan (Blodgett)
and Lilli (Taylor) were the pri-
mary beneficiaries, though
(Emy) Kiser made some shots as
well. Good to put some points on
the board and have an opportu-
nity to play a lot of the kids who
often sit and root for the others.”
Taylor led all scorers with 20
points, to go with eight rebounds
and four assists. Blodgett added
six boards and three assists. Kiser
scored 10 points for Seaside,
which led 19-4 after one quarter.
The Gulls have two league
games remaining this week
(home vs. Tillamook, at Banks)
before opening the playoffs.
Aiko Miller led the Log-
gers with 10 points, followed
by Sophia Carlson and Han-
nah Dietrichs with eight points
apiece. Senior Kourtney Tischer
scored the first two points of
the contest in her final game, as
the season comes to a close for
Knappa (5-19 overall, 4-12 in
league).
