Boys Soccer:
Banks 2, Seaside 0
Playing the fi rst of two games in
three days at the coast, the Banks
Braves blanked Seaside 2-0 Tues-
day night in a nonleague boys soccer
game at Broadway Field.
It was the fi rst game at the 3A
level for the Braves, now a part of
the special District 1-3A/2A/1A divi-
sion, which includes Oregon Epis-
copal and former Cowapa League
member Valley Catholic.
Banks held a 1-0 halftime lead
in Tuesday’s game, then scored in a
scramble in front of the net off a cor-
ner kick just 2:08 into the second
half.
The Gulls had the possession
advantage in the fi nal 40 minutes,
but were unable to score in their two
shots on goal. An attempt from 25
yards out by Kaden Burch sailed nar-
rowly over the crossbar.
Seaside has three straight road
games versus Milwaukie, Scappoose
and Tillamook, before returning for
six straight home games.
The Braves play Thursday at
Astoria (5:30 p.m., CMH Field).

Volleyball: Seaside tops
Warrenton in fi ve sets
In a nonleague Clatsop Clash vol-
leyball match Tuesday night at War-
renton, Seaside and the Warriors
went the distance, with the Gulls
winning in fi ve sets.
After splitting the fi rst two sets,
Warrenton rallied to win Game 3,
highlighted by a kill from Jamie
Annat off a set from London O’Brien
at game point.
But that would be the fi nal vic-
tory for the Warriors, as Seaside
built a 13-8 lead in the fourth set fol-
lowing two ace serves from Kierra
Gastelum.
An ace by Kiana Reeves made it
16-10, and a kill moments later from
Alyssa Chen made it 17-11.
Warrenton rallied briefl y, but the
Gulls closed with a 7-0 run, capped
by a kill from Aubrie Taylor for a
25-15 victory.
The Warriors held an early 3-1
lead in the deciding fi fth set, but the
rest of match belonged to Seaside,
which reeled off 12 straight points
behind the serving of Taylor Poole,
helping the Gulls to an eventual 15-5
win.

Hood to Coast: ‘This was the smoothest year we’ve ever had’
Continued from Page A1
Former Seaside Cham-
ber of Commerce CEO Brian
Owen adopted a new role as
a volunteer. Now the exec-
utive director of the Seaside
Civic and Convention Cen-
ter, he sold tickets at the beer
garden.
“It’s been such a great
experience for the last seven
years, being part of the cham-
ber,” he said. The volunteer-
ism shown at Hood to Coast
“is something that truly is in
our makeup. When we live
in Seaside, we volunteer, we
give.”
The Providence Can-
cer Institute has received
more than $6 million to sup-
port cancer research, treat-
ment and support services.
This year’s goal is to raise
$650,000 for the institute.
Marin Munos of the vol-
unteer-run nonprofi t Girls
on the Run, based in Port-
land, was one of several with
booths and fundraising teams
running in the event.
“We work with kiddos
ages third through eighth
grade in the Portland metro
area and across Central Ore-
gon,” Munos said.
The organization focuses
on noncompetitive athletics.
“The whole point of the
program is working towards
an attainable goal,” she said.
“Running, walking and com-
peting in the 5K is what
they’re working for, to give
them something that they can
accomplish, work towards

Black Pink, a running
team from Dallas, Texas,
came up with 12 team mem-
bers for their second Hood to
Coast relay. Runner Gowa
Borzigin called it the “ulti-
mate experience.”
Sarah Curtis came with a
team from Stoel Rives LL P,
a law fi rm based in Portland.
“We’re exhausted but we had
a wonderful time,” she said at
the fi nish line . “The weather
was perfect. Nice and cool
in the Coast Range — a lit-
tle misty but perfect for
running.”
John Andazola came to
Seaside with a team from
Las Cruces, New Mexico,
for their third Hood to Coast
relay. “It’s almost a tradition,”
he said.
Their team, the Organ
Mountain Warriors, are
named after the Organ Range
in New Mexico.
He said of all the races
they participate in, this is
the biggest and most adven-
turesome. “I have to say, it’s

incredible.”
Andy Bauer of the “Muu-
Muu Crew” has run Hood to
Coast nine times, and three
times as a member of the
crew.
“It was awesome,” Bauer
said. “There’s always chal-
lenges. Then you run through
them and then you wind up at
the beach. It’s really fun.”
Eleven-hundred running
teams and 400 walking teams
of eight to twelve runners
each competed, Dan Floyd,
chief operating offi cer of
Hood to Coast, said.
According to police
reports, there were no major
incidents. Several traffi c-re-
lated off enses took place
throughout the day, including
citations for failure to obey
traffi c devices, speeding,
unsafe passing, careless driv-
ing and unlawful cell phone
use.
At 1:30 p.m., a beach-
goer accidentally dialed 911
while washing his hands. At
2:30 p.m., after a pocket dial
from Hood to Coast, police
could only hear “cheers of
happiness,” police reported
and no emergency. Found
property included a pass-
port, which was recovered,
and three lost phones, one of
which was recovered to the
owner and the others turned
into the police.
“This was the smoothest
year that we’ve ever had,”
Floyd said on Sunday. “There
were no major injuries or
issues. The city of Seaside
was an amazing host. We’re
so thankful for the support of
the community.”
