10A FRIDAY Aug. 31, 2018 Fall Sports SeasideSignal.com HOOD TO COAST Run raises awareness Gift from Page 1A According to Donate Life Northwest, 87 percent of all transplants needed in Oregon are kidneys, and the waiting list for transplants can span years. Part of this, Andergard believes, is due to the perception that giving an organ means giving away the possibility of a normal, healthy life. Andergard, a Warrenton local who now lives in Portland, decided to start competing in the relay to show how the perception is wrong. “The only thing that has changed in my life is I can’t take Advil. I take Tyle- nol instead. And no contact sports, like football or bull riding, which luckily I never was interested in doing anyway,” she said, though she admitted she did make sure to ride a mechanical bull at least once before her surgery. Walking in the race is especially im- portant to Tracy Hoyle, who over the course of two decades has received two heart transplants and a kidney trans- plant. At 29, when she first was told a virus had impacted her heart’s ability to func- tion, her life was filled with uncertainty. “I thought I’d never have a child. I didn’t know what to expect,” she said. “I have a weird outlook on life that’s like ‘everything’s going to be OK,’ so I wouldn’t say I was panicked at any point. But I just never knew I’d be healthy enough to do something like this.” There are some aspects of the race for the Transplant Trotters that aren’t realities for other teams. Everyone chuckles on the registra- tion form when it comes to the question about medications. “Too many to list,” Hoyle laughed. The team is also less likely to have a “suck it up, buttercup” mentality when it comes to pain, said Andergard, who is always ready with a backup for some- one who may be having a bad day. But otherwise? “If you saw any of us walking down the street, you wouldn’t think that we had transplants,” Hoyle said. “We are the face of organ recipients, and we look EVE MARX Hood to Coast raises money to fight cancer. Reaction is ‘all positive’ at relay HTC from Page 1A BRENNA VISSER PHOTOS Members of the Transplant Trotter team watch out for their final walker on the promenade in Seaside. ‘IF YOU SAW ANY OF US WALKING DOWN THE STREET, YOU WOULDN’T THINK THAT WE HAD TRANSPLANTS. WE ARE THE FACE OF ORGAN RECIPIENTS, AND WE LOOK A LOT LIKE YOU.’ Team captain Nicole Andergard races to hug Sheryl Williams, the final walk- er to cross the finish line and mother of an organ recipient. Tracy Hoyle a lot like you.” In fact, this year, the power walking team finished about an hour earlier than they expected. “We’re pretty proud of that,” team cap- tain Lee Golden Jr. said. For the past five years, Josh Long — an Olney resident and the cousin of Ander- gard’s friend — has set up his house as a rest stop for the team as they arrive in the middle of the night from the first legs of the race. Offering a comfortable place to sleep is an easy thing to do make the relay easier, Long said, and a way to say “thank you.” “Nicole’s always been considered family, even before the transplant,” Long said. “It’s not surprising Nicole would do this. By the time I was worried about Anna being sick it was like she already had it under control. But it’s just an amaz- ing gift, that my cousin got to live another 11 years more.” Traffic at the beer garden was “constant all day long,” said Brian Owen, executive director of the chamber. Reaction had been “all positive,” he said, with great communication with Hood to Coast man- agement and event organizers. “We meet a couple of times throughout the year, keeping in touch, making sure everyone is on the same page,” Owen said. Known as “The Mother of All Relays,” the course stretches 199 miles, with 12,600 partici- pants and 3,600 volunteers. Runners or walkers alternate as team members share what can at times be a grueling physical challenge. The relay began in 1982 with eight teams. To- day the race series offers runs throughout the na- tion and the world, including Israel, Taiwan and China. The Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure takes place in Portland on Sept. 16. This year’s event, along with raising money for the Providence Cancer Center, brought a $25,000 check to the city of Seaside. In March, the Seaside City Council inked a five-year deal with relay of- ficials to keep Seaside as the final destination of the team run. The contract starts at $25,000 this year and increases 5 percent a year through 2022, when Hood to Coast will pay the city more than $30,000. Proceeds from the beer garden support the Seaside Chamber’s events throughout the year. Tip jars brought further bounty to the communi- ty — any funds raised from the event go to local food banks. Mayor Jay Barber and his wife worked at the beer garden. “We’re helping the chamber pour beer and wine and welcome people from 50 states and 47 countries,” Barber said. Hood to Coast chairman replaced after snubbing women’s teams FOOTBALL A night of jamboree football in Seaside By Brenna Visser Seaside Signal Seaside Signal The high school football season had its last tune-up before the start of the regular season, as two local schools hosted jamborees Friday evening. While Seaside staged a sev- en-team gathering at Broadway Field, a four-team jamboree at War- renton ended up as just a two-team scrimmage. Because of last week’s invasion of smoky air from western wildfires, Knappa and Portland Christian had little or no time of outdoor practices, and had to cancel their appearances at Warrenton. Ilwaco was a no-show at Seaside, but the Gulls still had six other teams show up for two-plus hours of scrim- mages. Visiting teams included Astoria, Clatskanie, Estacada, Mark Morris, St. Helens and Woodburn. The games start for real later this week. While the Fishermen hit the road for a nonleague game at Scappoose, Seaside’s game vs. Henley (original- ly scheduled to be played at North Eugene High School) has been switched to a home game for the Gulls, who will host the same team that defeated Seaside at Broadway Field last year in the state playoffs. Elsewhere, Grant Union plays at Knappa, and Warrenton opens at Yamhill-Carlton. All games will kick off at 7 p.m. Friday. Ilwaco has a nonleague game at Vernonia (7 p.m.), and Naselle has a 6 p.m. kickoff vs. Odessa at Gol- dendale, Washington. Both games Friday. Hood to Coast founder and chair- man Bob Foote has been replaced af- ter not recognizing the top women’s teams during the awards ceremony for the relay on Saturday in Seaside. Organizers announced Foote’s daughter, Felicia Hubber, the race di- rector since 2006, as the new chair- woman. Hubber will also continue as race director. Chief operating officer Dan Floyd said the decision was the result of a conversation between himself, Foote and Hubber, and is a decision Foote “100 percent supports.” “What’s not being said is that Bob has suggested this for years, that she take over,” Floyd said. “Felicia agreed, and has decided now is the time for her to chart our future as an organization.” The leadership change comes af- ter Emily Pritt, a member of the top women’s team named “Goats N Ros- es,” tweeted about how the top walk- ing, high school and men’s teams were awarded trophies at Saturday’s ceremony. Pritt said that when she asked Foote why the women’s teams weren’t acknowledged, he told her to “Go talk to someone who cares.” 2018 FALL SPORTS SCHEDULES SEASIDE FOOTBALL Aug. 31 vs. Henley, at N.Eugene Sept. 7 at Marist Sept. 14 Gladstone Sept. 21 Astoria Sept. 28 at Valley Catholic Oct. 5 Molalla Oct. 12 Banks Oct. 19 at Tillamook ASTORIA FOOTBALL Aug. 31 at Scappoose Sept. 7 Stayton 7 p.m. Sept. 14 Estacada Sept. 21 at Seaside Sept. 28 at Banks Oct. 5 Tillamook Oct. 12 at Molalla Oct. 19 Valley Catholic KNAPPA FOOTBALL Aug. 31 Grant Union Sept. 7 at Toledo Sept. 14 Taft Sept. 21 Warrenton Sept. 28 at Vernonia Oct. 5 Neah-Kah-Nie Oct. 12 at Gaston Oct. 19 Nestucca Oct. 26 at Portland Christian WARRENTON FOOTBALL Aug. 31 at Yamhill-Carlton Sept. 7 Creswell Sept. 14 Portland Christian Sept. 21 at Knappa Oct. 5 Vernonia Oct. 12 at Neah-Kah-Nie Oct. 19 Gaston Oct. 26 at Nestucca JEWELL FOOTBALL 7 p.m. 7 p.m. 7 p.m. 7 p.m. 7 p.m. 7 p.m. 7 p.m. 7 p.m. 7 p.m. 7 p.m. 7 p.m. 7 p.m. 7 p.m. 7 p.m. 7 p.m. 7 p.m. 7 p.m. 7 p.m. 7 p.m. 7 p.m. 7 p.m. 7 p.m. 7 p.m. 7 p.m. 7 p.m. 7 p.m. 7 p.m. 7 p.m. 7 p.m. 7 p.m. 7 p.m. 7 p.m. Sept. 29 at Hood River Tournament 5 p.m. Oct. 2 Banks McKenzie 5 p.m. Oct. 4 Triangle Lake 6 p.m. Oct. 9 4:30 p.m. Oct. 13 Seaside Tournament, 9 a.m. 1 p.m. Oct. 16 Tillamook 7 p.m. 6 p.m. Oct. 18 at Banks 7 p.m. Sept. 7 Powers Sept. 14 Sept. 28 Oct. 5 at Eddyville Charter Oct. 12 at Gilchrist Oct. 19 at Triangle Lake ASTORIA VOLLEYBALL Oct. 2 Columbia Christian 7 p.m. Oct. 6 at Columbia Christian at Astoria 7 p.m. Oct. 9 Neah-Kah-Nie 6:30 p.m. at Valley Catholic 7 p.m. Oct. 11 at Vernonia 6:30 p.m. Oct. 13 at City Christian 2:30 p.m. WARRENTON VOLLEYBALL 6:30 p.m. Oct. 18 Valley Catholic 7:15 p.m. 5 p.m. Oct. 22 at Westside Christian 4:15 p.m. JEWELL VOLLEYBALL 6:30 p.m. SEASIDE BOYS SOCCER Aug. 28 Newport Aug. 30 at Junction City 4:30 p.m. 7 p.m. Sept. 4 at Scappoose 4:15 p.m. Sept. 13 Oregon Episcopal 7:15 p.m. Aug. 23 at Columbia Christian Aug. 25 at Warrenton Tournament, 9 a.m. Sept. 17 at Catlin Gabel 4:30 p.m. Aug. 28 at Neah-Kah-Nie 5 p.m. Sept. 20 Astoria 7:30 p.m. Aug. 29 Catlin Gabel 6 p.m. Aug. 23 Knappa Aug. 30 at Estacada 6 p.m. Aug. 25 Warrenton Tournament, 9 a.m. Aug. 30 at Willamette Valley C. 6 p.m. Sept. 25 Valley Catholic 7:15 p.m. Sept. 6 at Rainier 6 p.m. Sept. 4 at Seaside 7 p.m. Sept. 4 Livingstone Adventist 6 p.m. Sept. 27 at St. Helens 4:30 p.m. 6 p.m. Sept. 6 St. Paul 6 p.m. Oct. 2 Tillamook 7:15 p.m. Sept. 7 at Damascus Christian 6 p.m. Oct. 4 at Banks 4:15 p.m. 6 p.m. Sept. 8 at Cascade Tournament Sept. 13 Clatskanie Sept. 11 at Gladstone 6 p.m. Sept. 15 at Vernonia Tournament Sept. 13 North Marion 6 p.m. Sept. 17 at Willamina 6 p.m. Sept. 11 at Falls City 6 p.m. Oct. 9 at Astoria 5:30 p.m. Sept. 15 at Dallas Tournament Sept. 19 at Rainier 6 p.m. Sept. 13 C.S.
