KNAPPA POUNDS NESTUCCA, 66-26 By GARY HENLEY The Astorian T he Knappa Loggers cleared one of their last big hurdles Friday night, and cleared it with room to spare in a 66-26 win at Nestucca. Knappa (5-0 atop the league standings) will look to close out a perfect league season Friday at home vs. Portland Christian (1-4). “Nestucca is always a trip we seem to struggle with,” said Knappa coach Aaron Barendse. “We started off slow, but shook the bus ride and put it together. The boys played hard.” The Loggers led 22-8 after one quarter, and 44-14 at halftime. Eli Takalo had a 5-yard touchdown run, tossed a TD pass to Kanai Phillip, and the Loggers recovered a fumble for another score in the fi rst period. Cameron Miethe had a touchdown run, PREP FOOTBALL ROUNDUP Astoria rally comes up short against Valiants Valley Catholic and Astoria put on a high-scoring affair Friday night for the fans in Beaverton where the Valiants ultimately outscored the Fishermen 32-29 in a Cowapa League football fi nale. Astoria rallied from a 32-13 defi cit late in the game, but could not recover a second onside kick. The Fish fi nish 0-8 overall, while Valley Catholic improved to 3-5, and moved into a three-way tie for third place at 2-3 in the league standings. Valley’s Logan Howerton opened the scor- ing on the Valiants’ fi rst possession, scoring on a 63-yard run. After another Valley Catholic touchdown, Astoria’s Michael Moore plowed in from a yard out for the fi rst Fishermen score with 1:15 left in the fi rst half. The Valiants gradually built a big lead, before Astoria’s Ebin Hillard scored on a 3-yard run midway through the fourth quar- ter, but Valley’s Trey Eberhart answered with a 50-yard touchdown sprint on the very next play, his third TD of the game. The Fishermen still trailed 32-13 with just 1:17 left in the game, when Ryan Stenblom ran a quarterback keeper 65 yards for a touchdown. Anthony Tumbarello’s onside kick was recovered by Astoria, and three plays later, Stenblom connected with Tristan Boyle in the end zone from 30 yards out. Ryan Stutznegger converted his second straight two-point conversion, and the Fisher- men were within three points with 36 seconds left. The Valiants, however, recovered the ensu- ing onside kick to run out the clock. Warrenton puts the crush on Gaston, 56-6 Warrenton racked up 444 yards in total offense, and held Gaston to just 14 in yet another Northwest League football blowout win for the Warriors, 56-6. In their four league victories, Warrenton has scored 63, 66, 41 and 56 points. The Warriors host Nestucca to fi nish off the regular season Friday. The Bobcats are coming off a 66-28 loss to Knappa. Warrenton ran for 370 yards and passed for 74 in Friday’s game, while holding the Grey- hounds to just seven rushing yards and seven passing. Hordie Bodden Bodden scored three touch- downs and Devin Jackson had back-to-back TD runs of seven and 40 yards in the sec- ond quarter, as Warrenton had another game wrapped up by halftime, leading 35-0. Jackson gained 138 yards rushing on just six carries. — The Astorian Seaside American Legion Post 99 • 100 th Birthday of the American Legion Semi formal Celebration November 10th No host Cocktail hour 5:30 Dinner served 6:00pm $30.00 per ticket Prime Rib or Salmon All Dinner Guests MUST RSVP before November 2 nd so do it now! 503-738-5111 • 1315 Broadway Seaside Oregon Public event Proceeds go toward helping our Veterans and following a Nestucca score, Knappa’s Devin Hoover had a 70-yard kick return. And with just nine seconds left in the fi rst half, Takalo and Phillip hooked up on a 90-plus yard touchdown for the 30-point halftime margin. After going 1-2 in nonleague play, Knappa opened league with a 32-23 win at Warren- ton, followed by blowout victories over Ver- nonia (42-17), Neah-Kah-Nie (58-38), Gas- ton (54-0) and Nestucca. The Royals, ranked 31st out of 34 teams, are next in line for the eighth-ranked Loggers. “Nestucca was very physical and ran hard,” Barendse said. “Those kids got after it. I couldn’t be prouder of our kids. They battled and did what they needed to do. One more league game left for this great group of young men. Time to prepare for PC and hopefully keep this rolling.” Tillamook 0 0—0 Seaside 0 11—18 Second Quarter SEA: Levi Card 32 pass from Ledger Pugh (Kaleb Bartel kick) 10:59 Fourth Quarter SEA: Bartel 27 FG, 10:15 SEA: Chad Werner tackled in end zone, 10:03 SEA: Aedyn Cook 26 run (kick failed) 7:32 Tillamook Statistics Rushing: Boomer 1-(-3), C.Werner 9-(-4), Mendez 8-(-7).
