OF THE WEEK
GULLS DOMINATE
AT CLATSOP CLASH

ike they say in Seaside, “it’s a great
day to be a Gull!”
And the night of Sept. 29 was
even better than the best days for the
Seaside football program — great football
weather, first home league game of the season,
a halftime Hall of Fame ceremony … and to
cap off a perfect day, the Gulls scored one big
victory, a 40-0 win over Astoria at Broadway
Field.
“This is definitely up there,” said Seaside
junior quarterback Payton Westerholm, who
threw for 141 yards and three touchdowns in
the first half alone. “I’ll definitely remember
this one for years to come. The rest of my
life.”
Meanwhile, the game was a forgettable,
painful one for Astoria. The last time the Fish-
ermen suffered a loss that bad in the Clatsop
Clash was 1985 (42-0). It was also just the
third time since 1999 that the Gulls tossed a
shutout against a Cowapa League opponent.
Seaside’s win over Astoria was not totally
unexpected; it was how the Gulls achieved the
victory that provided the Shocker of the Night
in Oregon 4A football.
The Gulls were dominant on both sides of
the ball against the defending league cham-
pion Fishermen, who were ranked seventh in
the latest state media poll.
Seaside rolled up 411 yards in total offense,
while the Gulls’ defense limited Astoria to just
12 yards rushing in the first half, 65 yards for
the game (most of it on Astoria’s final drive).
And for one night only, the “Seaside Turn-
around” was at the east end of Broadway in-
stead of the west.
The Gulls were on the losing end of a 50-
12 score in last year’s Clash, and lost 36-3
the year before that. Needless to say, Friday’s
78-point turnaround was unexpected. At least
for the fans.
For the players, “we had a good game plan
on what they were going to do offensively, and
we knew they were going to struggle against
our defense,” said Westerholm, who did not
want to experience another blowout loss to the
Fishermen. “The last two years didn’t sit well
with us, and we just wanted to make a change.
We were very focused coming into the game,
and we knew it was going to be a battle.”
It turned out to be a nightmare of a game
for the Fishermen, who had injured players
walking or being helped off the field for much
of the night.
With 1:35 left in the first quarter and the
Gulls already leading 7-0 on a Westerholm

action as a freshman with the

Quakers’ most recent game,
a 6-0 win over Hollins Oct. 6,
Barnes had three shots from
her midfield position. She has

with nine shots on goal and one
assist.

TD pass to Dawson Blanchard, Astoria quar-
terback Tristin Wallace was hit near midfield
following a scramble, and had to be helped to
the sideline.
With Karsten Johnson in for Wallace, Sea-
side stopped the Fishermen on a fourth down
pass, and the Gulls needed just one play to
score, a quick 56-yard strike from Westerholm
to Brayden Johnson.
Wallace was right back on the field on
Astoria’s next offensive series, even hooking
up with Trey Hageman on a shovel pass that
gained 54 yards to the Seaside 26.
The Fishermen lost five yards on the next
play, which was followed by an incomplete
pass from Wallace, who went down a second
time with an injury (torn ACL) to the same leg
and did not return.
After five straight scoreless possessions to
start the second quarter, the Gulls (with 1:11
left in the first half) put together a eight-play,
70-yard drive directed by Westerholm, who
connected with Alex Teubner for gains of 14
and 13 yards to the Astoria 10-yard line.
And with six seconds on the clock, Wester-
holm found Johnson on a short crossing route
at the goal line for a touchdown.
With a 21-0 lead at the break, “we were
right where we wanted to be,” Westerholm
said.
“I think what really got us going was the
long throw from me to Brayden,” he added.
“We knew we were on the verge of ending
the game when we went on that last drive of
the first half. To get that last touchdown with
Brayden making a great catch, it started break-
ing their spirit going into the second half.”

Seaside ranked No. 3

After a scoreless first half,
the No. 3-ranked Seaside Gulls
were unstoppable in the second
half, scoring three goals for a 3-0
win over Scappoose in a Cowapa
League boys soccer game Oct. 5 at
Broadway Field.
Seaside improved to 5-0-1 in
the Cowapa standings, ahead of
Valley Catholic (4-1-1). Seaside
spent most of the second half on
the Scappoose side of the field.
Henry Chapman scored the first
goal, a bullet shot from 40 yards
out; and a score by Chase Januik
made it 2-0.
The Gulls tacked on one more,
Nataneal Conrad scoring with 15
minutes left.
Gulls 8, Banks 0
