Seaside comes back to beat Astoria The Astorian The Astoria boys soc- cer team was holding a 1-0 lead just 29 seconds into last Thursday night’s Cowapa League game against Sea- side, as an early goal from freshman Walker Steele stunned the Gulls in the Clat- sop Clash at CMH Field. But — with 79 minutes and 31 seconds still remain- ing — Seaside didn’t panic, and the Gulls later scored two goals in a 12-minute span for a 2-1 victory. Shortly after kick- off , Astoria freshman Ian McCormick made a run down the left side of the fi eld and centered the ball to Steele, who scored on a close range shot from the right post for the quick lead. It took the Gulls only nine minutes to answer, as soph- omore Leivis Lopez found the upper left of the net on a shot in the ninth minute, tying the Clash at 1-1. Ensuing shots on goal from Kaden Burch and Mar- vin Moulin-Alvarez missed the mark, but Evan Car- nillo gave Seaside the lead for good with a goal at the 21:16 mark. Astoria goalkeeper Sal- vador Wienecke was the busiest player on the fi eld, as the sophomore keeper was fl ying and diving around the box, making saves and stop- ping Seaside shot attempts the rest of the night. The Gulls had a deci- sive shots on goal advantage in the second half, but the teams battled to a scoreless tie in the fi nal 40 minutes. Seaside lost 0-1 vs. Val- ley Catholic at home on Monday.

Pickleball surges in popularity among North Coast residents By GARY HENLEY The Astorian Looking to get in on that next demonstration sport for the summer Olympics? Paintball, frisbee golf, miniature golf — whatever the latest trend, sooner or later it usually shows up in the Olympics. Add pickleball to the list. What exactly is pickleball? Pickleball is a sport simi- lar to other sports that use a racket. Matches consist of two or four players using a paddles to hit a ball over a net. The game was invented in the summer of 1965 on Bain- bridge Island, Washington, at the home of Joel Pritchard, who returned with friends from golf one Saturday after- noon to fi nd their families bored. They attempted to set up badminton, but no one could fi nd the shuttlecock. They improvised with a wiffl e ball, lowered the badminton net and fabricated paddles of plywood from a nearby shed. Paddles were later fash- ioned by Pritchard’s friend, Barney McCallum, who, in 1972, incorporated Pick- le-Ball, Inc. His son, David McCallum, now runs the business, headquartered in Kent, Washington. How about local pickle- ball opportunities?
