experience.”
Freshman guard Alyssa
Richards led scoring with four
points, but her best work was
inside the paint, where she
claimed 13 rebounds and six
blocked shots.
“She got a lot of good looks
at the basket offensively, but
they just didn’t fall,” said
Crook.
The Sailors also got scoring
from senior wing Destiny
Weber, who had six points, two
rebounds and two steals. Junior
post Josi Hays had two points,
While the Lady Sailors
played a relatively strong
defensive game against visiting
McKenzie on Tuesday, the lack
of
offensive
momentum
enabled the Eagles to secure an
easy win.
“We’re still going through a
lot of growing pains that only
time and experience will cor-
rect,” said Mapleton coach
Jesika Crook. “We’re very
young, but the effort and desire
is there. We just need the time
to put it all together through
eight rebounds and one blocked
shot. Sophomore wing Alexis
Gierke had two points and one
steal.
Senior wing Hannah Rodet
had four rebounds, and fresh-
man wing Alyssa West had
three rebounds.
Last night, the Sailors hosted
Triangle Lake (5-2) after press
deadlines.
Tuesday, Mapleton will host
Siletz (6-1), beginning at 5:30
p.m.

ODFW asks halibut anglers to help set season
except those in the Astoria
area, Gold Beach, and
Brookings.
The seasons for the
Columbia River and Southern
Oregon Subareas have already
been established for this year.
“The sport halibut fishery is
popular, so we want to ensure
we hear from as many anglers
as possible,” said Lynn Mattes,
halibut project leader for
ODFW.
Participants in the process
will help choose the number of
spring all-depth “fixed” and
“back-up” dates, and the weeks
in which those open dates
occur.
The public meeting will
begin at 6 p.m. on Tuesday,
Feb. 2, at the ODFW Newport
office, 2040 SE Marine
Science Drive.
Participants can join the
meeting online at www.glob-
al.gotomeeting.com/join/6201
43213, or dial in at 1-408-650-
3123 Access code: 620-143-
213.
Anglers can offer input
through an online survey,
which will be available on the
ODFW halibut webpage, www
.dfw.state.or.us/MRP/finfish/ha
libut/index.asp, from Feb. 2-7.

OSAA establishes events for athletes with disabilities
High school swimmers and
track and field athletes with
disabilities soon will have
more opportunity to compete at
the Oregon School Activities
Association state champi-
onships.
The
OSAA
Inclusion
Committee, formed with
administrators of member
schools and disability and spe-
cial education consultants, con-
cluded that exhibition events
officially should be offered for
para-ambulatory and wheel-
chair athletes in swimming and
track and field.
Beginning
with
next
month’s OSAA swimming
state championships and
OSAA track and field champi-
onships in May, there will be
two predetermined events. The
50- and 100-meter freestyle
events are scheduled for swim-
ming and 100- and 400-meter
dashes at track and field.
“The
OSAA
strongly
believes that some of the best
life-long lessons we can teach
our kids are learned outside the
classroom and through partici-
pation in high school activi-
ties,” said Tom Welter, OSAA
executive director. “All stu-
dents should have the opportu-
nity to participate in education-
based programs offered by our
member schools.
“We are extremely pleased
that para-athletes will now
have the opportunity to be
included in their high school
programs and in our state
championships in swimming
and track.”
In both sports, competitors
will advance to state by meet-
ing qualifying standards. Male
and female athletes will com-
pete in separate flights and one
heat will be offered per event.
If more athletes apply than
lanes available in a single heat,
Adaptive Sports USA stan-
dards will be applied to the
field.
The Inclusion Committee
was formed by direction of the
OSAA Executive Board. It was
chaired by Ian Jaquiss, disabil-
ity trainer and community out-
reach specialist at Oregon
Health and Science University.
“From a policy standpoint,
the OSAA’s decision is his-
toric, but for the schools, the
teams and the athletes this is
bigger and more important:
recognition, inclusion, partici-
pation, involvement,” Jaquiss
said. “It hits on all levels. I am
happy for the OSAA and
thrilled for the athletes.”
Sherwood High School prin-
cipal Ken Bell also served on
the committee.
“It is our hope that high-
lighting these opportunities at
our state championships will
increase awareness with our
member schools and the pub-
lic,” Bell said.
The OSAA, in conjunction
with World Wheelchair Sports
and
Adaptive
Sports
Northwest, will distribute
information to member schools
in an effort to educate coaches
and athletes about inclusion
and their programs.
“We can’t be more pleased
that OSAA has taken this step
and that Oregon’s para-athletes
are going to get the opportuni-
ty to represent their school at
the highest level of competi-
tions in the same manner as
their classmates and peers,”
said Trisha Suhr, executive
director of Adaptive Sports
Northwest. “We look forward
to working with OSAA in help-
ing to make this the most posi-
tive experience for all student
athletes.”
The 2016 state swimming
championships are scheduled
for Friday and Saturday, Feb.
19 and 20, at Mt. Hood Aquatic
Center in Gresham.
State track and field champi-
onships are Thursday through
Saturday, May 19-21, at

For the 2016-17 school year
and beyond, the committee rec-
ommends exploring adding
swimming and track and field
events and district and state
championship opportunities in
other OSAA sports.
