Warrenton falls to Yamhill-Carlton

After a successful Seaside Volleyball Tournament where they went 2-1, Warrenton High School dropped a league game to Yamhill-Carlton three sets to one on Tuesday.

The Tigers won the first set 25-21, Warrenton fought back to win set two 25-20, then Yamhill won sets three and four by scores of 25-14 and 26-24.

Astoria boys soccer makes up ground

Despite going through a bit of a rough patch in early October, Astoria High School boys soccer has turned things around and have positioned themselves for a late-season push after consecutive victories.

The Fishermen started fast against Banks, then survived second half rain and a frantic Braves rally to win 2-1 on Tuesday night. Edwuard Lepe Ramirez and Ryan Knight scored the goals for Astoria, which improved to 3-2-1 in league and 19th in the Oregon School Activities Association rankings.

Seaside boys upended by Scappoose

Seaside High School soccer saw their losing streak reach two games after a 2-0 loss to Scappoose on Tuesday night.

The loss keeps Seaside, Astoria and Scappoose in a virtual dead heat for second place behind Tillamook with just a few games left to play in the regular season.

After a great result against league leading Scappoose to open league play, the Seaside girls weren’t able to duplicate it as they fell 4-0 to the Indians.
