2 B SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 2015 Siuslaw splits with Douglas as season winds down Vik boys stave off Douglas; girls nearly score upset B Y N ED H ICKSON Siuslaw News The Viking boys began Tuesday’s road game at Douglas with a lot of steam and easily took an early lead against the winless Trojans. But in the second quarter, the Vikings saw their lead dwindle as Douglas rallied to tie the game by halftime. Coming back from the break, Siuslaw regained its momen- tum and easily outscored the Trojans by 20 for an eventual 70-57 lead for the Viks’ high- est-scoring game of the season. That same evening, a ripple went through the Far West League as the previously unde- feated Bulldogs of North Bend were dealt their first loss of the season by cross-town rival Marshfield, 57-47. The win by the Pirates creat- ed a tie for first place at 8-1, with North Bend taking on Siuslaw last night (after press deadlines). In the girls game Tuesday night, the Lady Viks (2-7) near- ly managed their own upset victory over second-place Douglas (7-2) after taking the lead late in the fourth quarter before the Trojans were able to escape with a narrow 51-42 win to hold on to second place in the league. Brookings, meanwhile, maintained its undefeated sta- tus (9-0) after easily beating winless South Umpqua, 64-26. Fourth-place North Bend (4- 5) managed an upset over third- place Marshfield (5-4) with a 47-38 victory. Last night, Siuslaw hosted North Bend (after press dead- lines) as both Viking teams fin- ished out the season at home. 22nd annual Fly Fishing Expo set to cast in Reedsport Feb. 28 REEDSPORT — The Lower Umpqua Flycasters, an area member Club of the Federation of Fly Fishers (FFF), will be holding its 25th annual Fly Fishing Expo at the Reedsport Community Charter School Cafeteria, South 22nd Street in Reedsport, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Feb. 28.
