Scappoose’s Taylor Walden scored a 5-2 decision over Tillamook’s Hector Rojo during a Feb. 1 dual meet.
Scappoose drops dual meet TILLAMOOK — The Cowapa League’s two wrestling powerhouses – Scappoose and Tillamook – closed out the dual meet season by squaring off with one another on Feb. 1. The Cheesemakers won the meet on their own mat, 34-20. Scappoose coach Jim Jones called it an “exciting dual between two quality teams.” Taylor Walden earned the
first win of the night for the Indians. He led from start-tofinish for a 5-2 victory over Tillamook’s Hector Rojo in the 126-pound match. Hunter Hoyt added an 115 win for the Tribe in the 145pound match. A win from Isaiah Goodrich at 170 pounds kept the Indians within striking distance for the team score. Goodrich’s 6-2 win cut Scappoose’s deficit to 19-9.
By the time Branden Bailey won by fall at 285 pounds, the Tribe trailed 31-15. Braxton Sue kept the team’s hopes alive with a 19-4 technical fall in the 106-pound match. Then the Cheesemakers won the final two bouts of the evening. Scappoose heads back to Tillamook for the District Championship Tournament on Feb. 8. – Kyle Boggs

and finished second in another. Krahn was first in the 500-yard freestyle and second in the 50 free. Alvarez won the 200 free and finished second in the 100 butterfly. Throughout the rest of the meet, Scappoose had outstanding performances from the rest of the team. Fifty new personal record times were established by the Tribe. “It was a true team effort. Everyone really stepped up,” Richmond said. In addition to Krahn and Alvarez, Richmond said Jillian Werderber, Marie Hannah and Kiara Single all had standout performances. “You could say great things about just about every kid. They performed very well,” he said. Sam Herscovitz’s thirdplace finish in the backstroke paced the boys team. He also finished fourth in the 500 freestyle. Richmond said Kenny Klippel, Keegan Carey and Will Sprute all swam well too. Next up for Scappoose is

resh start,
With two victories last week, the Scappoose Indians (6-11, 4-2) have now won three Cowapa League contests in a row. Those three wins equal the cushion the Indians have given themselves over the fourth-place team in the league as well. Scappoose is one game behind No. 10 Seaside (16-4, 5-1) for second place. Last week the Indians beat the Astoria Fishermen (5-14, 1-5) 41-34 on Jan. 29. The Tribe followed that with a bizarre win over the Tillamook Cheesemakers (2-13, 1-5) on Feb. 1. Despite a stretch of about 10 minutes and 30 seconds without a point, the Indians beat the Cheesemakers 33-21. The all-around play of junior Abby Kessi led Scappoose against Tillamook. Kessi had four steals, four rebounds and two assists to go along with her game-high 15 points. Scoring was at a premium in the first half. The Indians led 11-4 after the first quarter even though they didn’t score over the final 2:45 of the period. Then Scappoose didn’t score in the second quarter, but carried a two-point lead into halftime. The Tribe continued its stingy defense in the third quarter. During the third, the Indians scored 13 points – the same number of points the Cheesemakers scored through the first three quarters combined. Kessi closed the third quarter with a buzzer-beating 3-

pointer with a defender right in her face. Kessi set the tone against Astoria as well, getting to the free-throw line early and often. She made four attempts in the opening quarter. Those were followed by a 3-pointer from junior Lacey Updike to put the Indians ahead 7-2, and the Tribe stayed in control the rest of the game. Kessi finished the game 6of-8 at the line with a teamhigh 14 points. Updike scored a dozen on six free throws and two 3-pointers. Free throws proved to be a big difference in the game. Scappoose made 18 of its 31 attempts; Astoria was 4-for-8.

the best players on the team. If I couldn’t wear it I wanted her to wear it. I was really happy that she wanted to do that,” Catlow said. Since Kessi has donned her new number, she – along with fellow junior Lacey Updike – has helped pick up Catlow’s slack on the court. Before she hurt her knee, Catlow was the team’s leading scorer. Since she’s been
injured, Kessi and Updike have both scored in double digits nearly every game. Kessi has done more than just score too. In last week’s game against Tillamook, she also led the team in steals, tied for the lead in assists and was the second-leading rebounder. Part of the boost in her on-court success, Kessi said, comes from having Catlow’s No. 12 on the floor. “We needed Brittany –

because she’s a huge part of the team, obviously. This is a different way to keep her on the court,” Kessi said. While a knee injury can certainly be serious, it hasn’t kept Catlow down. She’s still energizing her teammates, and still looking ahead to the future. “They’re already looking forward to playing summer ball and they can play together again,” said Will Kessi.
