GULLS FALL TO LEAGUE-LEADING Y-C

The Yamhill-Carlton Tigers used a 16-3 second quarter to pull away from Seaside, holding off the Gulls in a 61-44 victory at Yamhill Friday night.

The win, coupled with Astoria's loss to Tillamook Thursday night, put the Tigers in sole possession of first place in the highly competitive Cowapa League with a 6-1 league record, 19-3 overall.

With the exception of one stretch in that second period, the Gulls played fairly evenly with the highly-ranked Tigers for the duration of the game, despite missing starting junior guard Dominick Walker.

"They got a little run on a three minute stretch of the second quarter," said Seagulls assistant coach Jim Poetsch. "16-3 and 12 of it in a three minute stretch."

"They hit their shots. We got good looks, we just didn’t hit them in that one little stretch. They must have hit six in a row and we missed six in a row. It was all quick."

Zach Anderson led all scorers with 18 points. Ed Kauffunger paced the Seagulls with 12.

"Ed had a good second half, said Poetsch. "He ended up with ten in the second half. Alec Carlson came off the bench and had a good second half. All six points came in the fourth quarter."

The Gulls outrebounded the Tigers 25-15, but their weren't many rebounds to be had on Y-C's side of the court, as the Tigers shot a sizzling 62% compared to 34% shooting for Seaside. Matt Peinhardt and Damian Olivar had eight rebounds apiece for the Seagulls.

"They are a good team," said Poetsch, "a team that’s tough in their place. Its hard to get a win."

"I think we played better tonight than we did at our place. I think they looked better too."

Seaside (1-6 Cowapa, 7-13 overall) hosts Banks on Monday, while Yamhill-Carlton prepares for a rematch against second place Astoria at Yamhill on Tuesday. Both boys and girls games will be broadcast live on KAST-AM 1370 beginning at 5:32 p.m.
