GULLS ROMP ON ROAD
The Seaside boys soccer team stormed past Philomath with a 4-1 victory in today's OSAA 4A State 2nd round matchup.
Jason Spear got the Gulls on the board in the 10th minute, rebounding a shot bobbled by the Warriors' goalkeeper to put Seaside up 1-0. Ten minutes later, Josh Garhofer got his second goal of the postseason, taking a Chris Senick assist and striking a low shot from just outside the 18-yard box that nicked the far post and ricocheted into the goal for a 2-0 lead.
With three minutes remaining in the half, Seaside's leading scorer Chris Senick had a spectacular header, diving from his knees to take a ball off the ground in front of the Philomath goal to give Seaside a commanding 3-0 halftime advantage.
Philomath finally got on the board about 60 minutes into the match when Thomas Fernandez scored on a scramble at the far post.
Spear notched his second tally of the game, taking a cross from Senick in the 72nd minute to end the scoring.
Seaside goalkeeper Bren Bletscher, although busy handling activity on the perimeter of the penalty box or just outside, was rarely threatened in goal as the vastly improved Seaside defensive back line of Leo Luna, Peter Shepherd, Justin Laird and Ben Hayes helped the Gulls to an unlikely appearance in the state quarterfinals.
Seaside will take on the winner of tonight's North Valley-Gladstone match. The host Gladiators are heavily favored and would travel to Seaside to play the Gulls Saturday if victorious tonight. Should North Valley pull off the upset over the state's top-ranked team, Seaside will travel to Merlin to play the Knights this weekend.
