“(The score of) 329 is a pretty good score and we did it on greens that were recently aerated, so putts were not rolling as smooth as the kids would have liked.“Xanh was under par from the first hole all the way to the last putt, Will was only three over through 16 holes, Landon played like we know he is capable of on the front nine and Dexter, after moving up from JV this week, came through with a score in the 80s to get us in the 320s. We have about eight guys fighting to get on varsity right now. As soon as we get a few of them to consistently score in the 80s, we will be a team to be reckoned with.”Next up for Seaside is another Cowapa League matchup with Scappoose next Tuesday.Warrenton boys baseball team is solidThe Warrenton boys baseball team bounced back from their game against Taft with two clean victories in league.Monday, the Warriors defeated Neah-Kah-Nie 11-5, behind two hits apiece from Hunter Perrigo, RJ Thornton and Thomas DeJesus.Thursday, the Warriors brought out the thunder as they scored 20 runs in their 20-3 victory over Valley Catholic.
