Even with a decisive 227 yards of offense in the first half while holding the Bruins to just 28 yards and one first down, the game really came down to the final six minutes — and two crucial blocked kicks by junior linebacker Marcos Reyna. Though Siuslaw dominated the first half in terms of ball possession, the Vikings only led 7-0 at halftime after a 29-yard grind by senior Kenneth Thrall, who also delivered the extra point. The Vikings had two more opportu- nities to score in the first half, but the Bruins were able to deny both touch- down attempts — the first on fourth- and-goal, and the other while the Viks were threatening on the 1-yard follow- ing an impressive 13-play drive that began from inside their own 30-yard line. Coming back from the break, Siuslaw quickly set the tone with an 80- yard drive on a nine-play series that ended on a 23-yard TD pass from See VIKS 5B Low Tide 6:57am / 1.3 7:42pm / -1.4 Oct. 29 2:03pm / 7.3 1:39pm / 8.7 7:43am / 1.7 8:30pm / -1.4 Oct. 30 2:56am / 7.1 2:24pm/ 8.4 8:31am / 2.2 9:18pm / -1.1 Oct. 31 3:50am / 6.8 3:12am / 7.8 9:22am / 2.6 10:09pm /-0.6 Nov. 1 3:47am / 6.5 3:04pm / 7.2 9:19am / 3.0 10:03pm / 0.0 Nov. 2 4:48pm / 6.3 4:04pm / 6.5 10:25am / 3.2 11:02pm / 0.6 Nov. 3 5:51am / 6.2 5:13pm/ 6.0 B Y N ED H ICKSON SHS CHEERLEADER LANDS HISTORIC FIRST Siuslaw sophomore Victoria Rojas has gone where no other Viking has gone before. She went to the Oregon Cheerleading Coaches Association’s individual competition Oct. 17 in Springfield, returning to Florence as one of seven members of the OCCA’s All-State Team for schools within the 4A division and below. “I was super excited about it,” Rojas said. “It was really weird at first, but it was a good feeling, too. It makes you feel like you’re good.” Rojas finished fifth among 45 com- petitors statewide to earn the honor.
