I
t was a perfect ending to a great sea-
son last week for the Seaside basket-
ball teams. The state champion Seaside
boys swept the individual honors with
the announcement of the Class 4A all-state
squad, as Bill Westerholm earned state Coach
of the Year honors, while senior Jackson
Januik picked up the 4A State Player of the
Year award for the second year in a row. Se-
nior Hunter Thompson was named honorable
mention.
For the Seaside girls, senior Maddi Utti
was named first-team all-state, and was in the
running for state Player of the Year, ultimately
won by Sutherlin’s Taylor Stricklin.
“We had our banquet last week, coach
(Gene) Quilhaugh came down and spoke, and
we gave out all the awards,” Westerholm said.
“It was a real nice deal. Our season-ending
banquet usually doesn’t last that long. We just
hand out the awards and that’s it, but we had a
lot of fun this time.”
As it should be. The Gulls won their first
ever state championship March 11, when
they defeated Valley Catholic 71-63 at Forest
Grove High School.
Januik scored a game-high 29 points, with
six assists and six rebounds, playing the en-
tire 32 minutes. He will technically have one
more game as a high school player, as Januik,
Thompson and Attikin Babb will all take part
in the Oregon Athletic Coaches Association all-
star series in June. Januik’s next stop will be
George Fox University, where he will play next
season. Januik had narrowed his choice of col-
leges to George Fox, Whitworth and Eastern
Oregon. In the end, he wanted to be a Bruin.
“George Fox just seemed to work out
best,” Westerholm said. “It’s a good opportu-
nity, a good fit, and he will be able to contrib-
ute right away. They really wanted him. The
coach (Maco “Shark” Hamilton) just finished
his fourth year there, and hopefully Jackson
will help him get to where he wants the pro-
gram to go.”
Westerholm was hoping a few big colleges
had taken notice of Januik. “Part of it is play-
ing 4A, and also being 5-8,” Westerholm said.
“They just don’t see the competitive drive
that he has, or the work ethic. I’m not sure
you’re going to find a kid who works harder
than Jackson. I’d like to see how he would do
against some 6-4 guys. Jackson could have 15
assists per game, because he’s not a kid who
has to score. He’s unselfish and he’s not in it
for the glory. He just does whatever it takes
to win.”

Tillamook won a marathon con-
test in Game 1, 3-2, then cruised to an
11-0 victory over Seaside in Game 2,
in a Cowapa League softball double-
header April 21 at Broadway Field.
In one of the Cowapa’s most ex-
citing games of the league season,
the Cheesemakers and Gulls were
tied 2-2 after four innings, followed
by five straight scoreless innings,
before Tillamook scored a run in the
top of the 10th.
Tillamook’s Jennifer Tuatagaloa
had a leadoff double, took third on a
wild pitch, and scored on a double by
Lexie Zuercher.
Tillamook pitcher Lili Vogel
pitched both games for the Cheese-
makers, picking up two victories de-
spite striking out just two batters in
15 innings pitched.
Six different players had two hits
apiece for Tillamook in Game 1, in
which the Cheesemakers had 14 hits
but stranded 11 baserunners.
Jetta Ideue did all she could for
the Gulls in the opener, going 3-for-4
at the plate and driving in both runs
on a double in the third inning, scor-
ing GeriAnn Klaffke and Mica Pa-
ranal.
