ings at the Astoria Best Ball tournament
on Thursday at the Astoria Golf & Coun-
try Club.
Played with three 2-man teams from
each school, Valley Catholic won the team
title with a 146, followed by Catlin Gabel
(155) and Seaside.
Tillamook (164), Scappoose (172), St
Helens (174), Astoria (191), Molalla (192)
and Warrenton (202) also competed.
Seaside’s Carson Kawasoe and Alex
Arden teamed up to win co-medalist hon-

from Catlin Gabel, at even par 72.
Seaside’s team of Carson Bates and
Carter Perrigo fi nished 12th with a 90, fol-
lowed by Ever Sibony and Caleb Langmo
(15th, 92).
Astoria was led by the team of Judd
Field/Jase Junes (94) and Ian McHone/
Tayden Cole (97).
Kawasoe “had a great round after
bogies on four of the fi rst fi ve holes,” said
Seaside coach Jim Poetsch. “Alex did his
part with a couple of pars over that stretch.
Then Carson took over with birdies on
eight and nine to get back to even par
where they stayed the rest of the round.”
He added, “the third seed for the state
tournament was probably here today, and
we at least held our own out there.”
In the fi rst Clatsop Clash softball game of
the season, Astoria pounded out seven extra
base hits to highlight a fi ve-inning, 14-3 win
over Seaside, Thursday at Broadway Field.
The Lady Fishermen led 6-2 after two
innings, adding eight runs over the fourth
and fi fth innings.
Astoria’s freshmen led the way, as Shelby
Bruney was 2-for-3 (double, home run),
scored three runs and drove in three. Pitcher
Maddie Wilkin scattered four hits, with 10
strikeouts and one walk. Tenley Matteucci
drove in four runs with two doubles.
Seaside’s Tara Lair was 2-for-3 and
scored two runs.
Astoria wins the
baseball Clash, 5-1
Seaside had six hits to Astoria’s fi ve, but
the Fishermen took advantage of four errors
on the Gulls to post a 5-1 win Thursday
afternoon in Clatsop Clash baseball action at
CMH Field.
Niko Boudreau went the distance on the
mound for Astoria, striking out eight with no
walks. Jake White had three of Seaside’s six
hits.
Astoria scored three runs in the bottom
of the fi rst on a walk, a single and an error.
Seaside pitcher Tanner Kraushaar kept
the Fishermen scoreless in the second, third

tacked on two in the fi fth on run-scoring hits
by Boudreau and Sven Johnson.
Gulls host
three-way track meet
Seaside hosted its one and only home

The only win for the Lady Gulls came

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.
