SWEEP THE BRAVES
By Gary Henley
Seaside Signal
That’s it! The Cowapa League has now
thrown everything it has at the Seaside
Seagulls.
And after a half-season of league play,
the rest of the Cowapa is a combined 0-for-
10 against the two Seaside basketball teams,
girls and boys.
The Gulls remain perfect in league play, as
both teams picked up wins Tuesday against
the highly ranked Banks Braves at the Gulls’
Nest.
The No. 1-ranked Seaside boys opened
with a 73-63 win, and the Seaside girls fol-
lowed with a more-thrilling-than-it-should-
have-been 62-58 victory over the No.
1-ranked Lady Braves.
The Seaside boys still have games remain-
ing at Banks and Valley Catholic, but through
15 games, no one — league or nonleague —
has been able to touch the top-ranked Gulls.
Jackson Januik scored 19 points and Chase
Januik added 17, helping Seaside improve to
15-0 overall, 5-0 in league. Banks dropped to
4-1. The Gulls are now the only undefeated
team in Oregon high school basketball (Class
3A Dayton is 19-1).
Seaside did face some adversity — first
half foul trouble to Attikin Babb and Jackson
Januik, along with an actual four-point deficit
in the first quarter, one of the largest deficits
the Gulls have faced lately.
Payton Westerholm quickly took care of
that, scoring twice on layups and drawing
fouls both times.
His second score gave Seaside a 17-16
lead, and the Gulls would not trail again.
The Januik brothers provided a nice one-
two punch that had the Gulls in front 40-29
late in the first half.
Ten points from Banks’ sophomore Blake
Gobel in the third quarter had the Braves with-
in 51-44, but Babb hit a 3-pointer and Jackson
Januik twice drove in amongst the trees for
layups and a 58-46 lead to end the third.
“Banks is a good team,” said Seaside
coach Bill Westerholm. “They’ve got shoot-
ers from the outside, they have tall kids inside
… it’s a tough matchup, but I thought we did
a good job with (Dalton) Renne. He had 14
points, four from the free throw line. Hunter

A junior with the Seaside
High cheerleading team, Ord-
way helped the Gulls to a third
place finish Jan. 28 in the team’s
first-ever competition perfor-
mance.
The cheering Gulls have 14
girls and two boys on the squad.
Ordway has been with the team
since her freshman year.

undefeated ways Tuesday.
(Thompson) is a pesky little guy. And in the
fourth quarter we did a better job of helping
down on Gobel, and fronting him.”
The Gulls had some other key, unexpected
contributions.
“We had runs of different kids helping us
out,” Westerholm said. “We had some serious
foul trouble. Ryan (Hague) and Colton (Car-
ter) came in during the second quarter and put
together two really solid minutes for us. We
had Ryan play all four quarters, because Otto
Hoekstre was sick, and that messed with our
rotation a little. We handled adversity with
being able to play with fouls, and to play with
some of our regulars not in.”
The Gulls have upcoming games against
Astoria (1-4) and Scappoose (0-5), with road
games vs. the Braves and Valiants.
“We were lucky to get through the first
half 5-0,” Westerholm said, “and we have
three on the road the second half, so we’re
going to have to win some road games.”
Utti pours in 37 for
the Lady Gulls
The Seaside boys aren’t the only team in
town that could be sporting a No. 1 ranking
next week. The Lady Gulls must also be in-
cluded in the “Best in State” conversation.
The Lady Braves of Banks — who were
rated No. 1 in the latest OSAA rankings, and
No. 2 in the 4A coaches poll (with one first-
place vote), were thoroughly embarrassed by
the Gulls through three quarters of the girls’
game Tuesday night.
Seaside’s Maddi Utti — who was even
more unstoppable than usual, with 37 points
— hit a 3-pointer midway through the third
period for a seemingly safe 45-29 lead.

Seaside Signal
ILWACO, Wash. — The Ilwaco
wrestling team was the host team Sat-
urday, for the annual “Beach Brawl
Invitational.”
The event brought in 21 schools and
over 300 wrestlers, “and we pulled it
off in great style,” Ilwaco coach Kevin
McEnulty announced. “No down time
… mats were moving all day long. We
began wrestling at 10:20 a.m. and our
last match was completed at 6:33 p.m.”
Ilwaco racked up 209.5 points to
take first in the field of 21 teams.
Other local teams competing in-
cluded Knappa (tied with Neah-Kah-
Nie for seventh, 63 points); Seaside
(12th, 57 points); Astoria (17th, 29
points); and Warrenton (18th, 28
points).
Earlier in the week, Seaside hosted
a three-way Cowapa League dual with
Astoria and Banks.
The Braves defeated the Gulls 76-
3, while Astoria topped Seaside in the
Clatsop Clash portion of the dual meet,
40-24.
Ten of the 14 matches between the
Fishermen and Gulls ended in forfeits,
with Astoria winning three of the four
matches on the mat.
Astoria’s Trey Hageman scored a
major decision (18-7) over Seaside’s
Zachary Kuzakin at 152 pounds; Fish-
erman Kaden Gilbert had a 20-second
fall over Jake Black at 182; and Jeff
Stutznegger pinned Seaside’s Will
Kautz in 3:18 at 220.
Shane Smith had the lone victory on
the mat for the Gulls, pinning Astoria’s
Riley Ashton in 1:10.
