Seaside High School basketball team raises
money for cancer care at Providence
Seaside High School’s basketball team is
not only back-to-back state champs, but war-
riors in the fight against cancer, Providence
Seaside reported. The team sold cancer
awareness T-shirts during the season to sup-
port their team manager, Mathew Carpenter,
whose mother Renae died of cancer last year.
The team also raffled off a framed shirt,
signed by all the players that included a pic-
ture of the team and a piece of the net from
the championship game. In all, $2,791 was
raised and donated to the Providence Seaside
Foundation’s cancer fund, which provides
care bags to ease the way for patients during
treatment.

The Daily Astorian
BANKS — For the first time since
2003, Cowapa League boys golf has
a champion other than Scappoose or
Seaside.
Valley Catholic won this year’s
league tournament, as the Valiants shot
a 318 team score Monday at Quail Val-
ley Golf Course.
The Indians and Gulls finished in
a second-place tie at 331. It was the
second time this season that the two
teams tied in a tournament.
Both times, the Gulls won the poten-
tial tiebreaker with a better fifth score, as
Mason Shamion shot an 87 to outscore
the Indians’ fifth man, who had a 93.
Banks finished fourth with a 356,
followed by Astoria (377). Tillamook
did not field a complete team, although
Tillamook’s Carter Lee defended his

Cowapa League medalist title (his
third) by shooting 77.
Chase Elliott of Scappoose tied
with Valley Catholic’s Peter Boileau
and Cole Schmidlin for second place,
one stroke behind Lee.
There was a four-way tie for fifth
at 81, with Seaside senior Jackson
Kunde, Jake Gray of Scappoose and
Valley Catholic’s Cole Heinsen and
Andrew Plambeck. Rounding out the
all-league team was a tie for ninth with
Seaside freshman Curtis Kunde and
Banks’ Liam Birr. Curtis Kunde is the
first freshman to earn all-league for Sea-
side since Joel Bletscher in 2003.
Dylan Althiede-Nielsen and Con-
ner Long each shot 92 to lead Astoria.
Taylor Palmberg added a 95.
“This was a very competitive
tournament,” said Seaside coach Jim
Poetsch. “As I’ve said all year, Valley
Catholic is the team to beat this year.
They now have beaten us four times,
but we are closing the gap. We are also
very close with Scappoose, each of us
winning once and ending up tied the
other two times we played.
“On the individual side, every one
of our players shot a score that would
be good enough to get on the all-league
team in most years,” he said. “But this
isn’t most years. The Cowapa is a very
tough league.”
Jackson Kunde made the all-league
team for the third year.
“He was able to complete his round
today with nothing worse than a bo-
gey,” Poetsch said. “His brother Curtis
only had one double-bogey and was
able to offset it by chipping in for birdie
on the second hole.”
BASEBALL
GARY HENLEY/SEASIDE SIGNAL
PAYTON
WESTERHOLM
Baseball
In a four-game span, the Gulls
defeated all three teams ahead
of themselves in the Cowapa
League standings. In a 7-3 win
at Astoria (April 25), Westerholm
was 4-for-5 at the plate with two
doubles, scored twice and drove
in two runs. Two days later, he was
the winning pitcher in a come-
from-behind 7-6 victory at Scap-
poose. He scattered four hits over
5.1 innings, with seven strikeouts
and two walks. In a 7-2 win at Til-
lamook May 4, Westerholm had
two doubles and four RBIs.
SOFTBALL
Banks blanks Seaside, 10-0
Seaside Signal
Banks built a quick 5-0 lead Mon-
day, on its way to a 10-0 Cowapa
League baseball win over Seaside at
Broadway Field.
The Braves collected 11 hits, while
Banks starter Blake Gobel silenced the
Seaside bats to help the Braves remain
in a first-place tie with Astoria.
Gobel had just one strikeout, but he
had the Seaside batters off-balance and
hitting lots of fly balls. The Gulls had
four base hits, while Gobel walked one
and threw six solid innings (59 pitch-
es) before giving way to Tyler Lilly in
the seventh.
Meanwhile, the Braves scored two
runs in the first and added three in the
second, highlighted by a two-run sin-
gle from Dakota Bunn.
Hayden Vandehey had three singles
for Banks, and also drove in three runs.
Seaside pitchers Payton Wester-
holm and Gage McFadden combined
for three strikeouts and four walks.
A pair of double plays helped the
Gulls get out of a couple jams, but the
Braves also turned two double plays,
including one in the sixth when the
first two Seaside batters reached base.
Gulls 7, Mooks 2
TILLAMOOK — Four runs in the
second inning was all Seaside needed
May 4, in a 7-2 Cowapa League base-
ball win at Tillamook.
Pitchers Brayden Johnson and
Gage McFadden allowed just five hits,
with Johnson pitching six innings to
pick up the win.
The Gulls had eight hits off two
Tillamook pitchers, including a 3-for-4
effort for Payton Westerholm, who had
two doubles and drove in four runs.
Dawson Blanchard was 2-for-4
with a double, while the Gulls were hit
by pitch four times.
Gulls 6, Valiants 5
The seventh inning of a Seaside
baseball game is always exciting, as it
was May 2 at Broadway Field.
After Valley Catholic scored three
runs in the top of the seventh to tie the
game, the Gulls scored one in the bot-
tom of the seventh to win, 6-5.
Lady Gulls fall to Tillamook
Seaside Signal
Tillamook scored seven runs
in the top of the first inning May
3, as the Cheesemakers scored a
9-2 win over Seaside in a Cowapa
League softball game at Broad-
way Field.
Tillamook committed six er-
rors in the field, but made up for
it with 11 hits, including five for
extra bases.
Pitcher Hannah Nelson did the
rest, as the Tillamook freshman
scattered six hits with two strike-
outs and a walk. Kandice Flaigg
had two hits for Seaside, which
was playing its third game in three
days.
Viola Soprano had a double,
while Bri Hill and Flaigg scored
the two runs for the Gulls.
Seaside’s Jetta Ideue relieved
starter Gracie Rhodes in the first
inning, and struck out nine with
three walks.
One day earlier, Valley Catho-
lic scored a 9-8 win over the Gulls
in Beaverton.
Seaside began its three-games-
in-three-days stretch with a 10-0
loss at Scappoose May 1.
Scappoose pitcher Nicole
Dougherty tossed a no-hitter,
striking out 10 with no walks and
no hits allowed. She hit one batter
(Viola Soprano), to give the Gulls
their lone baserunner.
