The Columbia Press March 26, 2021 Warrenton vs. Blanchet, 20-7 Warriors take third win of season By Bruce Dustin For The Columbia Press Warrenton’s football team fumbled its way to a March 19 win in Salem against Blanchet Catholic High School. The 20-7 win was the Warriors’ third of the sea- son and Blanchet’s third loss. “I felt like we could have done better,” starting se- nior quarterback Hordie Bodden Bodden said. “We shouldn’t have made as many mistakes as we did. But we still ended up winning. That’s what really matters.” He caused several of the team’s mistakes, he admit- ted. “I fumbled the snap a couple of times, but we also committed a ton of fouls as a team, which we never normally do,” he said. “By correcting the mistakes, we will be able to move the ball and score more efficiently in the future.” He credited a teammate with much of the win. “Josh Earls came up big for us,” Hordie said. “He forced two turnovers, a pick, and a fumble. He got the whole team hyped.” While the Warriors had far more penalties than normal, Head Coach Ian O’Brien stayed positive, pointing to outstanding performances by Sam Ir- win, Tristan Scott, Dylan Atwood and Josh Earls. “They all had above-av- erage defensive nights,” he said. “In particular, Josh had a big interception and caused an important fum- ble.” Dawson Little had a 42- yard pass reception from Hordie, Hordie made a 26- yard run, and Dylan had a one-yard run, all three of which ended in touch- downs. Warrenton has a home game against Yamhill-Carl- ton at 7 p.m. today, March 26. The matchup pits two undefeated rivals against each other.

The $20 million bond that’s funding the project was ap- proved by voters in Novem- ber 2018. Clatsop County commis- sioners held a ceremonial groundbreaking March 18 at the site of what will become the new county jail in War- renton. Sheriff Matt Phillips thanked county voters for their support of the project, as well as the County Com- mission, including former commissioners who helped make the project possible. The new jail is being con- structed at the site of – and will utilize portions of – the former Oregon Youth Au- thority detention facility, which was closed by the state during budget cuts in 2017. Staff offices, intake space, food service and 20 inmate beds will be located inside the existing structure, while 128 beds will be located in a newly constructed adjoin- ing section that will feature a modern, efficient layout offering better supervision than the current facility. The new jail replaces the existing 60-bed jail in down- town Astoria. Completion is expected in summer 2022. The new facility’s larger ca- pacity is intended to reduce the frequent early release of offenders caused by the ex- isting jail’s limited size, to house multiple classifications of inmates separately, and to provide space for treatment programs and services the Free Obituaries The Columbia Press publishes free obituaries of community mem- bers who pass away.
