Seaside crushes Valiants, 77-25 Seaside Signal T he Gulls were back to playing like the Gulls Jan. 24 at home, where Seaside destroyed Valley Catholic 77-25 in Cowapa League boys basketball action. Two teams that met in the state championship game two of the last three years were set to battle, but the Valiants never quite showed up, as Seaside held a 40-7 lead midway through the second quarter.

Valiants edge Lady Gulls, 51-37 Seaside Signal Facebook photo Laurie Hudson is the new Seaside volleyball coach. Hudson named varsity volleyball coach Valley Catholic held a slim three-point lead going into the fi nal quarter, then fi n- ished strong for a 51-37 win Jan. 24 over Seaside in a Cowapa League girls basket- ball game at the Gulls’ Nest. Junior Josie Napoli scored 25 points for the Valiants, who were playing their league opener. Held under 40 points for the fi fth time in their last six games, the Gulls fall to 0-2 in league, 6-9 overall. Caleigh Peterson was Seaside’s leading scorer with nine points. She scored four in the fi rst quarter to help give the Gulls an 8-6 lead after one period. “It was back and forth until about a minute or so left in the third,” said Sea- side coach Mike Hawes. “We had three sequences of losing players or not getting back, and now we’re down six or seven going into the fourth.” The Valiants have “got a pretty good kid (Napoli) that could just make us chase. We’re still just trying to see if we can learn to win some of these games.” The Gulls struggled from the fi eld, hit- ting 14-of-48 shots from the fi eld, 3-for-22 from the 3-point line. Ruby Douglas and Lilli Taylor each had seven points, while Douglas hauled in 13 rebounds, and Taylor had six boards and fi ve assists. Astoria 58, Seaside 26 In Game 2 of the Clatsop Clash double- header on Jan. 21, Astoria had nearly all the points it would need after just one quarter, in a 58-26 win over Seaside in a girls bas- ketball Cowapa League opener. Julia Norris (15 points) and Brooklynn Hankwitz (11 points) equaled Seaside’s total offensive output, while six Fishermen players hit 3-pointers, and 10 players made the scoring column for Astoria. One important team statistic for the Lady Fishermen is always their opponent’s ratio of points-to-turnovers. And it wasn’t good for the Gulls, who had 26 points with 32 turnovers. Jadah Doney led Seaside with a team- high six points, while Lilli Taylor was held to fi ve. The Gulls were able to get off just 29 shots from the fi eld, to Astoria’s 62 shot attempts (22 made).
