The Neah-Kah-Nie Pirates hosted the Lost River Raiders today for a 2A State Quarterfinal Matchup. It was a beautiful day for a game of football, sunshine with a bit of breeze.
Both teams appeared to be evenly matched as the first quarter carried on, neither being able to put points on the score board. Lost River was able to finally beat the Pirate's defense, scoring a touchdown followed by an extra point. The Pirates were able to get close to the end zone, but it was always just out of reach. Going into halftime, the Raiders held a 7-0 lead over the Pirates. Despite the excitement and large crowd rooting the Pirates, the 3rd quarter proved to be a tough quarter. Lost River was able to score twice more, extending their lead to 21. Their dominance prevented the Pirates from putting any points on the board. The Pirates were able to hold the Raiders from scoring in the 4th quarter, but were unable to score any points themselves. The Raiders were able to pick up the winner moves on Quarterfinal Game, 21-0, ending the Pirates season. The loss is only the second loss of the season for the Pirates, who were the 2A Special District 1 Champions. Their only other loss came to 3A school Amity High School (Amity is ranked 2 in 3A classifications and is in the semi-finals). The Pirates were also able to improve upon last year, beating rival Knappa as well as making it to the Quarter Finals in the playoffs. Last year, the Pirates fell in Round 1. Congratulations to the Pirates for a great season! Also of note: Announced at the game, Coach Chris Bennett has been honored as Coach Of The Year. Congratulations, Coach!

VolleyballWhile Neah Kah Nie hosted a tournament, Nestucca and Tillamook traveled to other tournaments in the region.
Nestucca, saw some success, winning the consolation round. Tillamook had limited success in their tournament as well. While Nestucca and Tillamook headed out of town for the weekend, Neah Kah Nie stayed home to host an eight team, all day tournament on Saturday.
The eight teams were divided into two groups: Group A:
With access to two gyms, each group was able to sail through group round robin play, which consisted of 2 sets per meet up. Although many teams saw mixed success, other teams such as Pilot Rock dominated group play. Pilot Rock would be the only team to make it through round robin without losing a set. Host Neah Kah Nie would take two out of six sets in round robin play. The second phase of the tournament saw the top two from each group in a championship battle, while the bottom two teams from each group fight in consolation matches. Neah Kah Nie, having placed third in round robin, was relegated straight to the consolation bracket. They managed to beat out Clastkanie before facing Toledo. The Pirates weren't able to keep up, losing to Toledo, but placing 2nd in the Consolation Bracket. The championship bracket saw, like the consolation bracket, two Group A teams fight for the 1-2 slots. Pilot Rock may have been the masters of the round robin section, their luck would run dry. Santiam was able to beat out Pilot Rock in the final, placing 1st overall in the tournament. With Round Robin over,

Nestucca came out strong, taking an early lead against the Pirates. The Bobcats experience playing together showed. The team had played 6 games together prior to last night's match up. What didn't show, was signs of fatigue from playing the day before. Nestucca dominated the first two sets, 25-16, 25-12. The Pirates weren't going to go down without a fight, though. With support from the crowd, the Pirates were able to test the confident Bobcats. The third set proved to not be an easy win for the Bobcats like the previous two sets. The score remained close, unlike the previous two, as Neah Kah Nie battled to stay alive. Unfortunately, the Bobcats were able to pull away, winning the third set, clinching victory for the match up. Neah Kah Nie will get their chance to get revenge at the end of the month when they travel to Cloverdale to take on the Bobcats.

The second set was won by Neah Kah Nie 25-20. It wasn't until the third set that City Christian started to show fatigue. The Pirates took advantage of this, winning the third, and final, set 25-10.
