Warrenton volleyball tops Taft in four sets
The Astorian
Warrenton volleyball completed a three
road matches-in-three days tour with a vic-
tory Thursday at Taft, 25-17, 25-18, 23-25,
25-19.
Some long serving runs by Hailey Bent-
ley and Jamie Annat, and consistent hitting
from Avyree Miethe, keyed the victory.
Taft held leads in each of the fi rst three
sets, before Warrenton jumped out to a 10-1
lead and led from start to fi nish in the fourth
set.
The Warriors have a fourth match sched-
uled for Saturday at home against Naselle.
After a three-game sweep Wednesday at
Clatskanie, Warrenton coach Staci Miethe
said four matches in fi ve days is “not ideal,
and not something I would do again.”
Warrenton opened the week with a loss at
Vernonia, which swept the Warriors, 25-16,
25-17, 25-15.
On Wednesday, the Warriors swept Clats-
kanie, 25-22, 25-14, 28-26, in a Coastal
Range League match.
Warrenton (5-1 in league) is closing in
on another league title, which may come
down to the fi nal league match, Thursday at
Willamina.
“Our defense was better than our off ense,
which kept us ahead but allowed rallies to
be extended when we should have termi-
nated earlier,” Miethe said after Wednes-
day’s win.
“We played really lackluster against Ver-
nonia, and that is just not something that can
be done with good teams,” she said. “(The
Loggers) are well-rounded with several dif-

She added, “if we are going to beat Willa-
mina next week we are going to have to step
it up several levels.”

Valiants sweep Astoria
The Astoria volleyball team faced a tall
task Wednesday night in Beaverton, where
the Fishermen were facing No. 3-ranked
Valley Catholic.
The Valiants ran away with the fi rst set,
25-9, then did enough to hold off Astoria
in games two and three, 25-17, 25-18, for a
sweep over the Lady Fish.
Astoria trailed 11-4 in the second set, but
a serving run by Landri Mickle brought the
Fishermen back within 14-10, before the
Valiants closed the set on a 7-3 run.
The Fishermen had ace serves from Ten-
ley Matteucci and Aspen Braaten to keep
themselves close in Game 3, trailing just
15-13, but the Valiants pulled away again,
outscoring Astoria 10-5 to close out the
match.
Astoria (1-6, 2-12 overall) will tune up
for the post-season with one more league
match next Thursday vs. Seaside.

Williams also scored in the second half,
fi nishing on a free kick sent into the six-yard
box by Walker Steele.
“Salvador had over 15 solid saves, but
may have assisted on the third Tillamook
goal with a bouncing ball in front of the goal,”
Cain said. “Cameron Schauermann also had
a great game, leading the defense on the back
line and making three saves when Salvador
wasn’t quite back in time.”
The Astoria boys soccer program con-
tinues to make improvements, but their fi rst
win of 2021 also continues to elude the
Fishermen.
Astoria scored a season-high two goals,
but it was not enough Wednesday night in
Tillamook, where the Cheesemakers held
off a late charge by the Fishermen for a 3-2
victory.
Tillamook — which defeated Astoria 8-0
Sept. 28 at CMH Field — held another large
advantage in shots on goal, but had trouble
in pushing any shots past Astoria goalkeeper
Salvador Wienecke.
The game “was a good chance to see how
our very young team is growing in ability
and game understanding, and we were quite
happy with the results,” said Astoria coach
Lee Cain.
“After having lost last time by eight goals,
to nearly tie it was a signifi cant improvement.
The boys learned that they can be competitive
in an older league. We have been working on
both defense and rapid attack and it paid off .”
The Cheesemakers had a 3-1 lead after
scoring on a scramble in front of the Asto-
ria net in the 60th minute, but the Fishermen
came back with a goal off a free kick with
14:34 remaining.
Astoria’s fi rst goal took place early in the
fi rst half, a long shot by sophomore Owen
Williams.
Tillamook, Astoria girls
squads settle for 1-1 tie
The Tillamook and Astoria girls soccer
teams played evenly over the fi rst 75 min-
utes Wednesday night in Tillamook. And they
proved it by playing evenly over the fi nal fi ve
minutes, as each scored a goal late in the
game for a 1-1 tie.
Ranked 31st out of 34 teams, the Mooks
had hopes of a big upset when they scored
with fi ve minutes remaining.
But a minute after giving up a goal, Asto-
ria answered when Maddie Sisley made a run
down the right side, carried the ball past a
defender and scored the tying goal from close
range.
Astoria coach Tim Fastabend called it a
“very challenging, physical game.”
Tillamook’s lone goal resulted from an
Astoria tackle in the box, with the Cheese-
makers converting the penalty kick.

I saw the highest standard of health safety practices in effect
during my hygienist appointment today—much higher precau-
tions than I’d seen in a local hospital when having tests last
month. The new sanitation equipment and attention to patient
safety at Klemp Family Dentistry is in keeping with a dental
practice I consider cutting edge with respect to all my dental
needs. It’s wonderful having a world class dental practice here
at the coast, one where I can have procedures performed for
which I used to have to travel to a specialist in Portland. I have
been a patient of several local dentists in the past, but none
had the skill and, more importantly, the attention to patient
comfort that Dr Klemp provides.
