NEWPORT CURTAILS
HOME WIN STREAK
Seaside Signal
T
he unthinkable happened late Sat-
urday night at Seaside — some-
one beat the Gulls. On their home
floor.
Yes, the Newport Cubs came in ranked
as the higher team, but it was still a shock-
er, as Newport snapped Seaside’s 20-game
home win streak with a 70-59 victory over
the Gulls, who had not lost at home since
January 2016.
It wasn’t easy.
The Cubs built a quick 17-5 lead and
held an eight- to 12-point lead for much of
the night, but the Cubs had to sweat it out
as the Gulls staged a late-game rally.
Newport’s Bryan Tapia drained a
3-pointer to give the Cubs a seemingly
safe 64-47 lead with 3:10 left, but Seaside
answered with a score by Chase Januik, a
3-pointer by Brayden Johnson, and another
basket by Januik brought the Gulls to with-
in 64-56.
The Cubs missed four straight free
throws over the same span, and Johnson’s
second 3-pointer cut Newport’s lead to 66-
59 with a minute remaining.
But that was Seaside’s final score, and
the Cubs added four made free throws in
the final 29 seconds to secure the win.
Justin Plechaty scored 24 points to lead
Newport, teammate and tournament Most
Valuable Player Kye Blaser added 15, and
Tapia made four 3-pointers for 12 points.
Payton Westerholm had 18 points and
Januik added 16 for the Gulls.

The junior highlighted Sea-
side’s only win in the recent Hol-
iday Classic (Dec. 14-16), as she
scored 17 points in a 51-33 vic-
tory over Crook County in a first
round game. Garhofer had back-
to-back 3-pointers in a 17-0 run
by the Gulls. She made seven of
her 16 shot attempts, and also
had three steals.

Gulls 56, Lions 46
Seaside led from start to finish in Friday’s
late night 56-46 win over Cottage Grove in a
semifinal game.
Chase Januik hit a 3-pointer in the open-
ing seconds, and — despite a Cottage Grove
rally later in the half — Seaside held on to
the lead, which reached 45-29 early in the
fourth quarter.
Januik finished with a game-high 16
points, Payton Westerholm had 15 and Ryan
Hague scored 11 for the Gulls.

Newport tops Seaside for third
Seaside Signal
Newport’s Madison Hargett was
too much to handle for the Seaside
girls basketball team Saturday, Dec.
16, in the girls’ third-place game of
the Seaside Holiday Classic.
Hargett scored 21 points and
teammate Megan Wagner added 13,
as the two outscored the Lady Gulls
all by themselves in a 48-28 win.
A 3-pointer by Seaside’s Annaka
Garhofer had given the Gulls a 16-
13 lead midway through the second
quarter, but Hargett answered with
two fast break scores, and the Cubs
outscored Seaside 35-15 the rest of
the way.
Jetta Ideue scored nine points to
lead the Gulls.
Gulls win 51-33
Following a 29-point loss at Yam-
hill-Carlton two days earlier, the Sea-
side girls basketball team returned
to the win column Thursday, Dec.
14, with a 51-33 victory over Crook
County, on Day 1 of the Gulls’ Hol-
iday Classic.
The first half began with three
straight baskets by Seaside’s Jet-
ta Ideue, and the half ended with a
three-point play by Ideue that gave
the Gulls a 23-20 halftime lead.
In between, Seaside’s Annaka
Garhofer and Bryre Babbitt both hit
3-point shots, matched by a pair of
3-pointers by Crook County’s Teagan
Freeman, who had 11 points off the

al best times in winning two
events at the Astoria Andrew
Nygaard Invitational (Dec. 9)
— 2:15.34 in the 200 individual
medley (a three-second drop
from his best time, and would
have qualified him for last year’s
state meet); and 51.62 in the
100 freestyle, which would have
placed him third in last year’s
district meet. Shipley also swam
a leg on Seaside’s winning 200
medley relay team.

layup followed by another score off a
steal by Ideue.
Garhofer scored 17 points to lead

Maddi Utti flying
high for Fresno State
By Gary Henley
Seaside Signal
If there was any doubt that Mad-
di Utti could play at the next level
… the freshman at Fresno State has
put that question to rest less than
one month into her collegiate career.
Over the last four games — in-
cluding starts in the last three —
Utti has racked up four straight
double-figure scoring efforts, while
shooting a blazing hot 71 percent
(24-of-34) from the field.
The Class of 2017 Seaside High
School graduate has also averaged
a team-high 7.3 rebounds per game
during the stretch.
In
Fresno
State’s 64-57 win
over UC-Santa
Barbara last Thurs-
day, Utti scored
a career-high 20
Maddi Utti
points, to go with
eight rebounds and
two assists. She was 9-for-10 from the
field, and was FSU’s first true fresh-
man to score 20 points in a game since
Rosie Moult vs. Idaho, Feb. 10, 2010.
Utti is the first freshman to score
20 points in a game since redshirt
freshman Taylor Thompson scored
21 at Utah State, Jan. 8, 2011.
