A10 FRIDAY December 21, 2018 Winter Sports SeasideSignal.com Athletes OF THE WEEK Facebook photo GIRLS EMY KISER Basketball SEASIDE SWIMS IN NYGAARD MEET The senior guard had a team- high 13 points in a Dec. 14 win at Scappoose. She also had four rebounds and three steals. Kiser tied for the team-high in points with seven in a win over Day- ton Dec. 11, as the Gulls started by winning four of their fi rst six games, ranked 17th in the state. Gary Henley/Seaside Signal Cailin Bennett scored points for the Gulls in several events in the 2018 Andrew Nygaard swim meet at Astoria. Seaside Signal A STORIA — Seven high school swim teams gathered Dec. 8 for an annual swim meet, held every year to honor the memory of one young swim- mer who died just over 20 years ago. The Astoria Aquatic Center was the pool, and the Astoria Fishermen were the hosts for the 2018 Andrew Nygaard Invitational — or, more affectionately called “Andrew’s Meet,” by those who still remember the young, talented swimmer who still holds several North Coast Swim Club age group records. As always, the Nygaard family was in attendance for the annual meet, an ear- ly-season gathering that gives more than a few District 1 teams the chance to see what everyone else has got for the new season. While Newport may have an eventual say in the matter, Valley Catholic and Taft were the most successful teams in Satur- day’s meet, as both the Valiants and Tigers left with a team trophy. Valley Catholic won the girls’ team championship with 74 points, followed by Taft (70), Astoria (56) and Seaside (51). And Taft swam away with the boys’ trophy, scoring 106 points to top Valley Catholic (70), Astoria (69) and Seaside (25). Other competing schools were Rainier, GIRLS BASKETBALL Tillamook and Toledo. The Seagulls had two victories, just min- utes apart. Seaside freshman Nicole Blankenhorn teamed with Kaisa Liljenwall, Cailin Ben- nett and Anna Huddleston to win the girls’ 200-yard freestyle relay in 2:05.24, edging Tillamook at the wall. One event later, Seaside senior Kendy Lin swam a 1:10.88 to win the 100-yard backstroke. Lin added a second-place fi nish in the 200-yard freestyle (2:19.71), while Sea- side sophomore Henry Garvin had the sec- ond-fastest time (25.93 seconds) out of 38 entries in the boys’ 50-yard freestyle. BOYS BASKETBALL Gulls girls take down Scappoose By Gary Henley Seaside Signal SCAPPOOSE — Seaside out- scored Scappoose 33-6 over the second and third quarters Dec. 14, sending the Gulls to an easy 55-20 win over the now-Class 5A Indians. Emy Kiser scored 13 points to lead the Gulls, who were 7-of-21 from the 3-point line. Ruby Doug- las added eight points and Morgan Blodgett fi nished with seven points seven rebounds for Seaside, which also had 11 steals defensively. “We moved the ball around the court better than ever, and our pres- sure gave Scappoose fi ts,” said Seaside coach Mike Hawes. “Emy Kiser had a great all-around game and Lilli Taylor (four points, fi ve assists, three blocks, fi ve rebounds and three steals) just adds such a stabilizing presence for us. Ruby Douglas was good, and Katie Zagata played her best game. Lots of kids scored and contributed.” Eleven players scored for the Gulls. Gulls 42, Dayton 27 A light, defensive pressure and a bunch of offensive rebounds was all Seaside needed Dec. 11 against Dayton, in a nonleague girls bas- ketball game at the Gulls’ Nest. It all led to a 42-27 win for the Lady Gulls, in a game that wasn’t even that close. Seaside applied a toned-down full-court press for three quar- ters, forcing 19 Dayton turnovers through the third quarter. And the Gulls were collecting offensive rebounds at will in the fi rst half, on their way to a 23-8 halftime lead. While just four players made it into the scoring column for the Pirates, the Gulls had 10 play- ers score at least two points. Emy Kiser and Lilli Taylor led the way with seven points apiece, while Morgan Blodgett and Annaka Gar- hofer scored six points each. Garhofer made back-to-back 3-pointers early in the second quar- ter, and Blodgett and Taylor scored off turnovers, helping Seaside to a 31-8 lead early in the third period. Taylor also had fi ve assists, while the Gulls had 13 offensive rebounds and 11 steals. “Dayton was without their big (post player), so that changed the dynamic of the game,” said Sea- side coach Mike Hawes. “It would have been good for us to face a tal- ented big, cause we’ll defi nitely see some in league. “For the most part I’m pretty pleased,” he said. “We did a lot of good things, and some of our bad things were in pursuit of the good. Balanced scoring, everyone played, we won … what can I say? Life is good.” Seaside tops Scappoose, falls to No. 2 Stayton By Gary Henley Seaside Signal STAYTON — Two lengthy road trips in 24 hours were a bit too much for the Seaside boys bas- ketball team to overcome over the weekend of Dec. 14-15. After a 31-point win at Scap- poose late Friday night, the Gulls were back on the road Saturday to the Salem area, where Seaside had a rescheduled game with Stayton. And the No. 2-ranked Eagles jumped over the Gulls in the state rankings with a 56-49 victory, thanks in large part to their large center. Stayton’s 6-foot-8 senior post, Kaleb Anundi, scored a game-high 31 points to lead the Eagles over the Gulls. Seaside outscored Stayton 30-21 in the middle two quarters, but Stayton’s 35-19 advantage in the fi rst and fourth quarters was enough for the Eagles (6-1 over- all) to post the win, dropping Sea- side to 3-2. Anundi had nine points in the fi rst quarter, which ended in a 17-9 lead for Stayton. Chase Januik scored 16 points and Brayden Johnson added 14 for the Gulls. Seaside opened the weekend with a decisive 83-52 win Dec. 14 over former league rival Scappoose. The Gulls built a 45-31 half- time lead, then began the second half with a 13-1 run to put the game away. Seaside had fi ve players score in double fi gures, led by Ryan Hague with 17. He was followed by Chase Januik (14), Duncan Thomp- son (13), Payton Westerholm and Brayden Johnson (10 apiece). The 83 points was the sec- ond-most scored by the Gulls against Scappoose, behind the 89 scored by Seaside in an 89-52 win in 2016. Gulls 70, Dayton 34 The Seaside boys basketball team went looking for some more tough nonleague competition Dec. 11. So the defending 4A state cham- pions invited one of the contend- ers from the 3A level to the Gulls’ Nest, as Dayton made the trip to the North Coast. And the Pirates ended up look- ing like just another helpless victim against the Gulls, who scuttled the Pirates’ ship with a 70-34 win over Dayton, the No. 4-ranked team in Class 3A. Following a road split in games at Marshfi eld and Marist, the Gulls are rounding into defending state champion form, as they were 14-of- 32 from the fi eld in the fi rst half of Tuesday’s game. Seaside turned its 35-18 half- time lead into a 66-26 route early in the fourth quarter for their big- gest lead. Gary Henley/Seaside Signal BOYS CHASE JANUIK Basketball Senior Chase Januik led the Gulls in scoring in each of Sea- side’s fi rst three games. He had 21 points and seven rebounds in a season-opening loss at Marsh- fi eld, followed by 17 points in a 66-42 win at Marist. Januik hit the 20-point mark again in a win over Dayton.
