MID COAST LAKES:
Fishing for the various
warm water fish species is
fair to good during the sum-
mer months. There are
numerous lakes in the
Florence area that can pro-
vide good opportunity and
have boat and bank access.

Fall Chinook fishing is
producing fair to good
results from the lower bay
up to Cushman with fair
numbers of fish starting to
push up to the Mapleton
area. Trolling herring, spin-
ners or bobber fishing can
all be productive.
The wild coho fishery is
open through Oct. 15 with a

The Sailors got a chance to feel their
own turf for the first time this season
on Friday, hosting Falls City for a
chance to claim their second league
win.
Mapleton was the first to light the
scoreboard when junior runningback
AJ Foster capped off a nine-play drive
into the end zone. The conversion was
denied, but the Sailors took a 6-0 lead
less than five minutes into the game.
On the ensuing kickoff, the
Mountaineers were stopped on their
own 34-yard line by junior Hunter
Simington, who had 13 tackles on the
night. At fourth-and-15, Falls City
made the unlikely choice to go for the
first down, instead managing to score
on a 63-yard run and making good on
the conversion to take the lead, 8-6.
Falls City scored again a short time
later but was denied the conversion by
Chet Geddes and Tyler Packebush, who
held the Mountaineers to a 14-6 lead
with 2:20 remaining in the quarter.
Just 15 second later, Packebush
found an opening in the Falls City’s
defense and scrambled 57 yards for a
touchdown. The conversion was
denied, but Mapleton was within two
points, 12-14.
After forcing the Mountaineers to
punt away their next possession,
Mapleton was able to reach Falls City’s

North Bend opened the game with a
67-yard run for a touchdown less than a
minute after the kickoff. But as the

Scott Gordon got that momentum
going on a seven-yard reception off the
arm of quarterback Preston Mitchell.
The kick from Kenneth Thrall tied
things up, with Thrall breaching the end
zone less than five minutes later on a
four-yard carry for a 14-7 Siuslaw lead
