- The Seaside Gulls spent Friday night crossing the goal line, as Alexander Teubner does here for another Seaside score.
BEAVERTON — A rare road trip — one of just three regular season road games the Seaside Gulls will play until a possible trip to Hillsboro Nov. 24 — turned out to be just like any other Friday night for the Gulls.
Seaside (5-0 overall) ran over and around the Valley Catholic Valiants, to the tune of a 64-8 score, the fourth time in five games the Gulls have topped 50 points.
The Seaside Express is running right on schedule, on the state title track. The Seaside defense has been dominant, and the Gulls are running anything they want to on offense.
Running backs Alexander Teubner and Duncan Thompson combined for 267 yards rushing on just 12 attempts (over 22 yards per carry).
It took Seaside only seven offensive plays to build a 24-0 lead in Friday’s game, as Seaside recovered an onside kick to open the contest, then scored on Teubner’s 30-yard run, followed by a two-point conversion.
Following a Valiants’ turnover, Thompson scored on a 39-yard romp, with a two-point conversion run by Brayden Johnson.
Seaside converted another turnover into points, with Gio Ramirez sprinting 29 yards for a one-play scoring drive, followed by another two-point conversion.
Moving the ball at will, Seaside added three more touchdowns in the second quarter, highlighted by Payton Westerholm’s 26-yard catch-and-run pass to Teubner. Teubner added two more TD runs for a 45-8 halftime lead.
Teubner rushed eight times for 166 yards, and Thompson ran four times for 101 yards.
Defensively, Ledger Pugh had five tackles and two interceptions.
