FISHERMEN FOLD IN FOURTH, FALL TO GULLS
Going into their annual holiday tournament, the Seaside Seagulls boys have already matched last year's season win total.
Seaside overcame a horrible start to defeat Ilwaco 57-48 and will take a 3-1 record into Thursday's Tournament of Champions opener against Corbett.
Ilwaco took a 16-7 first quarter lead, then scored the first 11 points of the second period to go up 27-7 before Seaside found some energy and finished the half on a 17-4 run to close within seven.
"We started off really slow and Ilwaco took it to us," said Seaside assistant coach Jim Poetsch. "We fouled a lot in the first half."
In the third period, the Gulls outscored Ilwaco 13-4 to take the lead and pulled away in the fourth quarter. The Fishermen didn't help their own cause, going 14-for-26 at the free throw line, including five missed front ends of one-and-ones.
"We came out in the third quarter flat," said Ilwaco head coach Paul Jarrett. "We couldn't get anthing started."
"Our two big guys got in foul trouble and had to sit most of the third quarter and starting back out in the fourth we couldn't make our free throws."
While ten different Seagulls players scored, led by Matt Peinhardt's 16 points, only four Fishermen scored in the game. Anthony Wirkkala, despite the foul trouble, had another big night with 25 points and 12 rebounds.
Dennis Olstedt had four of Seaside's 13 steals in the game. Peinhardt was a perfect 6-for-6 from the field and went 4-for-6 at the free throw line. The Gulls outrebounded Ilwaco 29-23 and forced 20 Ilwaco turnovers, while turning the ball over only 12 times.
The Seagulls take on Corbett in the final game of the night Thursday at Seaside High School, scheduled to start at 8:30 p.m. They will play either North Valley or Burnaby Central, B.C. on Friday at 5:15 or 8:30 p.m. at the high school gym. In other first round boys matchups, Astoria takes on Castle Rock at 5:15 p.m. at the high school (live broadcast on KAST-AM 1370) and Knappa faces Taft at 3:30 p.m. at Broadway Middle School.
Ilwaco opens Trico League play on Monday at home against Rochester. The game will be broadcast live on SportsRadio 1230 ESPN with pregame coverage beginning at 7:05 p.m. Ilwaco hosts Astoria on Wednesday next week, with the game set to air on KAST-AM 1370.
