Nestucca, the junior setter
had 20 assists in the home
victory. “Ava’s setting was in-
credibly accurate and she did
a fantastic job of spreading
the opportunities to every-
one, keeping the Bobcats
guessing where the ball
would be coming from,” said
Knappa coach Jeff Kaul. Skip-

Neah-Kah-Nie Pirates —
Astoria dominated in almost every cate-
gory Friday night, except on the scoreboard.
That’s where it was a lot closer than it
expected, as Molalla used a score off a turn-
over late in the fi rst half to stay within strik-
ing distance of the Fishermen.
In fact, all the scoring took place in the
second quarter, with Astoria’s 12-7 halftime
lead holding up for a 12-7 win over the Indi-
ans in a nonleague football game at CMH
Field.
The rain and wind dominated the second
half, keeping both teams out of the end zone,
with punts of 64 yards and 50 yards being
the main highlights.
Astoria junior Luke Cummings carried
the ball 26 times for 168 yards, while team-
mates Tucker Golightly and Rocky Rub
scored on short runs in the second quarter for
the only Fishermen scores. Astoria scored
fi rst on a 13-play, 96-yard drive.
With the Fishermen looking to add a
score just before halftime, Molalla’s Chase
Martin scooped up an Astoria fumble and
returned it 55 yards for a touchdown with 11
seconds left in the fi rst half for the Indians’
only score of the night.
The Fishermen lost two fumbles, while
Aiden Giles had an interception for Astoria.
The team plays Friday at Stayton.
Estacada beats Seaside in 4A
showdown
Two teams that met in a preseason jambo-
ree met again Friday night, this time with a
little more on the line.
The next meeting could be even bigger.
In a possible state playoff preview, unde-
feated top 10 powers Seaside and Estacada
faced off in the 4A Game of the Night.

their match, as the No. 3-ranked Rangers led
30-0 after three quarters, on their way to a
30-14 victory.
After moving the ball at will and outscor-
ing their fi rst two opponents 103-0, the Gulls
faced a powerful Estacada team, which
moved the ball eff ectively and scored on
several time-consuming drives.
Estacada’s biggest play of the night came
late in the fi rst half, when quarterback Cory
James scrambled and found Caleb McDon-
ald in the end zone with nine seconds left.
Still, the Rangers were their own worst
enemy, with two scores wiped out by pen-
alties. Estacada was penalized nine times for
95 yards, including a pair of fourth quarter
unsportsmanlike conduct penalties.
Meanwhile, the Gulls lost the ball fi ve
times (three interceptions, two fumbles).
Seaside scored on two successive drives
in the fourth quarter, a run by Lawson Tala-
mantez and a TD reception for Jarred White.
The Gulls recovered an onside kick with
1:07 remaining, but the Rangers ended Sea-
side’s comeback attempt with an intercep-
tion at the Estacada 5-yard line.
The Gulls will look to bounce back this
week against winless Molalla.
Warriors win by forfeit
The Warrenton Warriors had two games
canceled in two days last week.
A day after Culver canceled their sched-
uled meeting with Warrenton, the Warriors
scheduled a game at Milwaukie, but that
game was also canceled.
The Warriors scored a 2-0 forfeit victory
over Culver to improve to 2-1.
Father, son shine at Gearhart golf tournament
By NICK NIKKILA
For The Astorian
GEARHART — Andrew Von Lossow
took home the gold medal and U.S. Hickory
Open trophy by shooting scores of 74 and
72 at the recent golf tournament held Sept.
12 through Sept. 14 at the Gearhart Golf
Links. Making it a family aff air, his dad, Jim
Von Lossow, took home the second-place
silver medal in the Senior Division.
Originally from Seattle, the younger Von
Lossow lives in Spokane where he plays
Indian Canyon and Spokane city courses
such as Down River, Creek at Qualchan and
the Esmeralda Golf Course.
“With modern clubs, I play to a +4 hand-
icap right now and then for Hickory it’s
scratch. Hickory is an unrelenting style of
play. You know your misses. The distances
are diff erent in Hickory golf.
“I played at Southwestern Oregon Com-
munity College for one season in 2009 over
in Coos Bay. I’ve got my apparel company,
Glen Cove Trading Company, in Spokane,
which keeps me busy, but I try to tee it up as
much as possible during the season.
“ ... I won the Spokane City Champi-
onship in 2018 and 2019, the Mid Pines
Andrew Von Lossow won the gold medal
and U.S. Hickory Open trophy at the golf
tournament held recently at the Gearhart
Golf Links.
Hickory Open in 2018 and others. (Oth-
ers includes the 2021 Washington Men’s
Champion of Champions, the 2019 Spo-
kane Hickory Open, the 2020 Pacifi c North-
west Hickory Championship) I’ve played
hickory clubs since 2013. That’s when we
started the Northwest Hickory Players. My
dad has played golf all his life as a PGA
member. He played the PGA tour in ‘79
and ‘80. A few of his friends started playing
hickory and he gave it a go. He got me inter-
ested in hickory as well. ”
Tournament organizer Rob Alhschwede
said “Because Andrew is still an amateur, he
is also the low amateur of the tournament,
which awards him a second gold medal and
he also gets to take home the John Fischer
Jr. trophy. John Fischer was the last player
to win a U.S. Amateur with wood shafted
clubs.”
Appreciation was high for Gearhart Golf
Links General Manager Jason Bangild and
Head Golf Professional Zdravko “Z” Bar-
bic. Both were awarded medals from the
Northwest Hickory Players.
A local favorite, Wedgy Winchester,
using a set of hickory clubs he borrowed
from Alhschwede, placed second in the
Super Senior Division. In presenting his
medal, Alhschwede said, “Wedgy has been
here since Northwest Hickory Players has
been coming here and he’s been watching
us and has become a close friend. ”
