Knappa: ‘We had some great performances’
Continued from Page A8
Takalo “had been per-
fectly fine,” Miller said. “He
said the second pitch of the
game he felt something.”
Takalo threw a few
warm-up pitches, but “his
arm just wasn’t able to pitch.
I hope for his sake that it’s
minor, and that he’s back
healthy and strong soon.”
Takalo moved to first
base, and Flues took over on
the mound.
Meanwhile, Umpqua Val-
ley — which had outscored
its last six opponents by a
combined 69-3 — had given
up four runs in the first two
innings.
The Loggers began to
pile up the runs in the third,
scoring twice then adding a
three-run, line drive homer
by Logan Bartlett to make it
9-0.
“We had some great per-
formances, starting with
Flues coming in during try-
ing circumstances and doing

a brilliant job,” Miller said.
“And our at-bats, we put
tough pitches in play, with
hard hits all day long. I could
go down the entire list. Guys
were crushing the ball.”
The momentum started to
turn in the fourth, when the
Monarchs scored three runs.
Knappa answered with a run
in the bottom of the fourth,
but Umpqua Valley came
back even stronger in the
fifth.
A pair of walks was fol-
lowed by a single and a
two-run double from Aaron
Buechley — the first of a
pair of two-run doubles by
the Monarchs.
Jacob Luther and Buech-
ley added two-run singles, as
Buechley drove in four runs
on two hits in the inning.
By the time it was over,
the Monarchs held a 12-10
lead. And that would be the
final score.
Knappa threatened to
regain the lead in the sixth,
when the Loggers loaded the
bases with one out.
But Bartlett’s grounder to
third resulted in a 5-3 double
play to end the inning.
Knappa even had back-
to-back, two-out singles by
Ryson Patterson and Devin
Hoover in the seventh, before
Buechley — Umpqua’s third
pitcher of the day — retired
the final batter.
The Loggers finished
with 15 hits, while both
teams combined to strand 24
runners (13 by Knappa, 11
for Umpqua Valley).
Ilwaco: ‘Teachers and coaches have been so supportive’
Continued from Page A8
runs in both, except for a
nasty fall at the finish line
of the heat earning second
in 11.28 in his 100 heat, that
scraped his arm and side.
He placed eighth in the
100 final in 11.72 (the win-
ner was defending cham-
pion Brandon Montoya of
Lyle-Wishram, in 11.28)
and fourth in the 200 in
22.99 (winner, Montoya,
22.47), then joined 1,600
relay team members Bran-
don Kuhn, Parker Kaech
and Colton McNabb to
place second in a very com-
petitive field. All the others
are juniors.
While all four had
strong races, that placing
was probably earned by the
lanky Kaech, who acceler-
ated confidently down the
back stretch to catch and
pass other runners before
the next-to-last turn. On
the last leg, Kaino just
couldn’t catch the Adna
winner, whose team fin-
ished in 3:25.69 to Ilwaco’s
3:28.59.
Also scoring team points
was Kuhn, who was fourth
in the triple jump, leaping
to 40-10. The winner, from
Asotin, had a jump of 43:11
3/4. He also ran a heat in the
400, just off qualification.
Early in the meet, fresh-
man
Daniel
Quintana
sprinted home to place
fourth in the 1600 meters
in 4:31.30. The winner,
Justin Roosma from Walla
Walla Valley, was timed at
4:15.07.
Quintana also ran the
800, but did not advance.
Afterward, as he waited for
his team’s moment on the
podium, he was looking
forward.
“I will be back — and do
better,” he said.
Ilwaco girls 10th
In the girls’ division,
Ilwaco placed 10th. (Six
teams receive trophies.)
Senior Ebby McMul-
len, also competing in her
final events, placed third in
the triple jump with 36-4 ¾
(the winner was returning
champion Mattie Lagerway
with 37-1 ¾), fifth in 100
hurdles at 16.43 (winner:
Chewelah, 15.72) and sev-
enth in the long jump with
16-3 ¾ (winner: Lagerway
with 18-4 3/4).
Coach Taylor com-
mended McMullen’s final
season, which like oth-
ers has been dogged by
injuries.
“She has been side-
lined a lot, but she just kept
going,” Taylor said. “She is
without question an excel-
lent athlete — she’s not
afraid to perform here.”
McMullen was ready to
thank everyone who helped
her.
“I love my school, and
the administration, the
teachers and coaches have
been so supportive,” she
said. “The community of
Ilwaco is like nowhere else.
You can’t replicate that
kind of support. It’s nice to
be part of something that is
a lot bigger than myself.”
Also shining was sopho-
more Erika Glenn, who was
fourth in the triple jump
with 36-0, just about two
feet more than her personal
best, fifth in the 400 meters
with 1:01.30 (winner,
DeSales, 59.06) and sev-
enth in the 200 with 27.11
(winner, Chewelah, 25.67).
McMullen and Glenn
were joined by Tiana
Ramsay and Estella Shel-
don for the 1,600 relay,
placing sixth in a time of
4:21.73. The winning team,
St. George’s, finished in
4:09.32. In a tangled race,
the next to last of the meet,
Sheldon had to brush past
a stationary runner who
was lingering after hand-
ing over the baton ahead of
her and Glenn had to vault
another competitor who
had collapsed with exhaus-
tion at her handover.
Sheldon was on the
podium earlier, placing
eighth in the high jump
with 4-10 (winner, Ray-
mond, 5-6).
Sophia Marsh placed
ninth in javelin. Abby
Knopski, Elle Personius,
Alyssa Marsh and Ramsey
ran the 800 relay, but did
not advance. Ramsey, Per-
sonius and Knopski com-
bined with Tazlina Thomas
in the 400 relay, but did not
make the finals.
The Warriors never
trailed in Tuesday’s game,
as they tallied two runs
in the second inning on a
run-scoring single by Alec
Herrera and an RBI dou-
ble from Kale’o Kapua to
give starter Devin Jackson a
quick lead.
Warrenton added a run
in the top of the third before
Santiam Christian answered
with two runs in the bot-
tom of the third, but that’s
as close as the Eagles would
get.
A three-run fourth inning
for the Warriors was high-
lighted by one-out singles
from Ethan Caldwell and
Gabe Breitmeyer.
Caldwell scored on a
fielder’s choice by Jacob
Morrow,
and
Morrow
scored on an error, one of
five by the Eagles.
That was more than
enough for Jackson to
work with, as the junior
left-hander scattered seven
hits over five-and-a-third
innings, with five strikeouts
and two walks.
Jackson eventually gave
way to Warrenton’s top-
notch closers, Dalton Knight

Schell was pleased
with his showing, but set
his sights on improve-
ment. “I hope to be here
next year to come back
and do a little better,” the
junior said. “I’d like to do
better in the high jump
and increase my speed in
the 800.”
He commended the
support at Naselle. “It’s
a great experience, my
coaches are top notch. It’s
the best support I could
ever have.”
Jacob Eaton was close
to making the podium in
high jump and partici-
pated in long jump and a
relay. Josh Chadwick and
Ian Fontanilla also partic-
ipated in races and Vince
Fauver in javelin.
In the girls’ contests,
freshman Echo Cenci was
either running around the
track or climbing onto
the podium. She was
third in the 400 meters
with 1:01.48 (winner
from Valley Christian,
1:00.91), seventh in the
200 meters with 27.99
(winner: Tacoma Baptist,
26.56) and seventh in the
100 meter hurdles with
17.91 (winner: Oakes-
dale, 16.66).

Field events meant
multiple trips to the

• Sophie Scrabeck was
fourth in the pole vault
with 8-0; Grace Hunt also
participated; The winner,
from Glenwood, cleared
9-9.

For Scrabeck, a senior,
it was a bittersweet
moment to be asked about
her final appearance in a
Comet uniform.
“It’s like a family,”
she said. “You grow up
with everybody playing
together — it’s been fun.”

and Breitmeyer, who gave
up one hit each, although
the Eagles scored three runs
over the final two innings.
“Devin gave us a great
five-and-a-third innings, but
he tweaked his ankle warm-
ing up in the sixth, and he
got into a little trouble,”
Wolfe said. “Dalton had 25
pitches, and he used them
all. But Gabe was able to
finish it out.”
The Eagles had the bases
loaded with two outs in
the bottom of the seventh,
before Breitmeyer retired
the final batter on a full-
count pitch.
