In Cowapa League
action, the Gulls shut out
Banks 1-0 Monday at
Hillsboro Stadium.
Last week, the sixth-
ranked Valley Catholic
scored a 1-0 win over
Seaside at the Warrenton
Soccer Complex.
The Gulls were set
to play Tillamook on
Wednesday and play at
home against Astoria on
Oct. 26.
With wins of 55-0, 48-0
and 69-0 under their belts
this season, the Seaside Gulls
were on the wrong side of
the scoreboard last Friday
night at Banks, where the
Braves scored a 38-0 Cow-
apa League football victory
over the Gulls.
Banks outgained Seaside
309 yards to 117, and the
Gulls had three turnovers and
were just 2-for-13 on third
down conversions.
The biggest plays came on
special teams in the fi rst half.
Punting from their own
41-yard line after their fi rst
possession, Seaside’s snap
went over the head of the
punter, and Tanner Kraushaar
was tackled in the end zone
for a 41-yard loss and a safety
for the Braves for the fi rst
points.
Meanwhile,
Kraushaar
and Cooper Rogien each
blocked punts by the Braves.
The second eventually
gave Seaside a fi rst-and-goal
at the 2-yard line, but losses
and a penalty led to a fourth-
and-goal from the 33, when
Banks intercepted a fourth
down pass.
Trailing just 17-0 at half-
time, the Gulls were still
within striking distance and
moved the ball to the Banks
8-yard line early in the third
quarter. But Seaside failed to
score, as a fourth down pass
by Carson Kawasoe was
incomplete.
The Gulls — averaging
well over 200 yards on the
ground per game — fi nished
with just 95 (minus-42 in the
fi rst half).
Charlie White had two
touchdown catches from
Cooper Gobel, and Jamar
Flipped scored on a 41-yard
run for the Braves.

Knappa farm hosts
pumpkin path
By KATHERINE LACAZE
For The Astorian
The fall festivities hosted
by Blackberry Bog Farm
started almost by accident.
Andrew Thompson, who
runs the farm alongside his
parents, Bonnie and Scott,
recalls a reporter coming to
get photos of pumpkins for
an article published online
in 2017.
Somehow,
through
Google’s nebulous algo-
rithm, the photos resulted
in Blackberry Bog Farm,
located in Svensen, show-
ing up in search results for
pumpkin patches on the
northern coast of Oregon.
The next year, the Thomp-
sons had people stopping by
the farm, saying they were
there for the pumpkin patch.
Rather than being both-
ered by the error, the
Thompson family leaned
into it.
In 2019, they hosted a
fall festival featuring pump-
kins at an empty lot near a
feed store in Knappa. While
they couldn’t provide a
u-pick pumpkin patch, they
had pumpkins for purchase,
along with a wide array of
autumn activities, such as a
haybale maze, cornhole and
a children’s story time.
In 2020, they made the
event a tradition but moved
it to their farm, scaling
back activities because of
the COVID-19 pandemic
but still welcoming several
hundred families over the
course of the fall to relish
the changing colors, crisp
weather and produce of the
season in an idyllic rural
setting.
Now, they are prepared
to host their 2021 pump-
kin path and farm stand.
The attractions are open
10 a.m. to 4 p.m. every
Saturday and Sunday in
October. A one-way path
will send visitors winding
through the pumpkins, all
of which can be purchased,
with several spots provid-
ing the perfect backdrop
for pictures.
Along the pumpkin path,
children can partake in a
free treasure hunt that cul-
minates in a small prize.
The farm will also have
fresh baked goods that are
prepared onsite, and other
snacks will be available,
along with seasonal farm
produce and fl owers.
There will be two gath-

The Gulls still seek
their stride on the vol-
leyball court, with a
loss at the Seaside Tour-
nament against Elmira
and a 3-0 loss versus
Tillamook.
Seaside also lost to
Banks on Tuesday 3-0.
The team was set to play
at Astoria on Thursday
night.

Although the farm isn’t
set up to have people wan-
der through the actual
pumpkin patch and pick one
themselves, the Thompsons
take pleasure in off ering an
outdoor event that embod-
ies a fall tradition—espe-
cially as such events are
limited on the coast.
Scott Thompson said
there are two things they’re
often told by visitors: “It’s
nice that this is close, so I
don’t have to drive to Sau-
vie Island,” and, even more
meaningful to the fam-
ily, “I’ve never been able
to aff ord to go to Sauvie
Island.”
“That’s really nice to
hear,” he said, adding they
make an eff ort to keep sev-
eral aspects of the event
free and accessible.
