4 B SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 21, 2015 Jr. Viks win two more PHOTO BY MIKE SMITH On Oct. 15, in a rematch of last season’s League Championship game, the Boys and Girls Club fifth- sixth-grade tackle football team traveled to Waldport to battle the Siletz Jr. Warriors. Relying on the strength of their defense and two 40-yard touchdown passes, the Jr. Vikings avenged last year's loss by a score of 14-6. Barely catching their breath, the Jr. Vikings saddled up to meet the Toledo Jr. Boomers the following Saturday, Oct. 17. Siuslaw showed its heart with its highest offensive output this season, including a 70-yard punt return for a score. The defense also chipped in with a key goal-line stand and a quarterback sack to win 28-14. The Jr. Viks will be back in action this Saturday, Oct. 24, when they host Siletz at Hans Petersen Field in Florence. Kickoff is scheduled for 11 a.m. Sailors from 1B the Sailors ahead 8-0. Siletz was able to put together its own five-play drive on its next possession, scoring from the 7- yard line but having the conver- sion attempt denied by a quick- footed Wells who was able to break up the pass and keep the Sailors on top, 8-6. After receiving the kickoff, Mapleton was able to get to with- in 23 yards of the Siletz end zone before losing yards on the next two plays and eventually giving the ball up on downs at the 50- yard line. With a chance to take the lead, the Warriors tied to get some momentum going. On the second play of the series, the ball got loose, with Mapleton sophomore Cole Spencer claiming posses- sion for the Sailors on their own 34-yard line. Simington was able to reach the 50-yard line on a keeper, then connected on a 27-yard pass to Wells for a touchdown and 14-6 lead after being denied the con- version attempt. At the top of the second quar- ter, Mapleton forced the Warriors to give the ball up on downs. Packebush got a 37-yard carry to the Siletz 35. Another keeper from Simington, and the Sailors had reached the red zone on the Warriors’ 19-yard line. Simington carried to the 8- yard line for a first down, then tossed a two-yard touchdown pass to Packebush, who also scored the conversion. Up 22-6, Mapleton looked to be in the driver’s seat. But Siletz was able to respond and close the gap to eight points after a score and conversion. NED HICKSON/SIUSLAW NEWS Junior Tyler Packebush, senior Chet Geddes and sophomore Dominic Wells celebrate a defen- sive stop against Siletz with senior Trevver D’Auteuil. The Sailors got the ball with 4:22 left in the half. Three plays later, Packebush was in the end zone on a 33-yard carry. On the conversion, Simington scram- bled backwards under heavy pressure from the Warriors’ defense, but still found Foster on a 20-yard pass for the conversion — and a 30-14 lead. Though Siletz was able to score once more before the half, Mapleton still had a 30-22 lead heading into the break. Unfortunately for the Sailors, the Warriors dominated the sec- ond half on both sides of the ball, holding Mapleton scoreless for the final two periods while post- ing 38 unanswered points for a 60-30 win. Friday, the Sailors will be at home for senior night, when they host the Mountain West League’s third-place team from North Douglas (3-1). Kickoff is 7 p.m. Stocks. Bonds. CDs. IRAs. Mutual funds.
