LADY GULLS GROUNDED AGAINST TILLAMOOK

Seaside girls basketball coach Mike Jacobson knew he'd have to take a different approach last night if his team had any hope of competing against Tillamook.

Throttled by the Cheesemakers in an 80-36 preseason tournament loss, the Gulls slowed the pace last night and spread the floor and as a result, stayed in the game. Unfortunately, while the Seagulls struggled to convert open layins, Tillamook's Katelyn Jacob was raining in threes as the Mooks prevailed 39-27 in the Cowapa League opener for both teams.

"We spread the floor and ran four corners," said Jacobson. "We missed nine open layups in the game. We were down 10 at the half and it was 28-21 with four or five minutes left.

"If we hit our layins, we beat Tillamook last night."

Jacob paced the Cheesemakers with 14 points, hitting 4-of-6 shots from beyond the arc. Seaside held Tillamook's leading scorer, Stepahine Beeler, to just seven points in the game.

"We got them in foul trouble in the middle of the second quarter and they were only 1-for-9 at the free throw line," said Jacobson. "We just couldn't finish. It was a good game."

Marla Olstedt and Ashley Mayfield led the Seagulls with 10 points each.

Seaside dropped to 8-7 overall, while the 2nd-ranked Cheesemakers ran their perfect record to 11-0. The Gulls next game is at Yamhill-Carlton on Jan. 23.

Tonight, the Seaside boys travel to Tillamook to open Cowapa League play.
