The greens at Astoria Golf & Country Club have been busy. After hosting the Astoria Tournament, the course played host to a star-studded field for the Seaside Invitational on April 23.

Besides the local headliners like Astoria and Seaside, the invitational featured two elite 6A division programs. Central Catholic and Sherwood High School dueled it out for supremacy, while Seaside, Astoria and Scappoose used the event to see where they stand going into championship season.

Central Catholic and Sherwood finished the day separated by just two strokes. The Central Catholic Rams, edged out the Sherwood Bowmen, 322-324. Seaside finished third with a 344, and beat Cowapa League rival Scappoose by eight strokes. Astoria meanwhile, came home eighth out of the 13 teams with a score of 373.

“This was a good test of golf for us,” Seaside coach Jim Poetsch said in a statement. “The course was playing hard and fast, the winds made it more difficult and the competition was as good as we will see all year. We beat a few of the bigger schools, and beat everyone from 4A and below.”

Diego Sanchez scored an 83, and led the Seagulls once again. He was followed by Alex Arden (86), Logan Norman (87) and Madden Wunderlich (88). Xanh Quang was fifth for the day with a 91.
