Siuslaw took to the mats with 31
other schools over the weekend, com-
peting at the two-day Cottage Grove
Invitational
mega-meet,
where
wrestling teams from multiple divi-
sions from around the region got a
taste of state competition.
The Vikings had seven wrestlers
score to help Siuslaw finish 14th
among the 32 teams.
“Our kids wrestled tremendously,”
said Siuslaw coach Neil Wartnik,
whose team had three top-four placers.
“They came and battled for two days,
and had some major victories.”
Leading Siuslaw was senior 152-
pounder Talamoa Tupua, who won six
out of seven matches, including over
returning state champion Thomas
Harvey of Lowell, in a 9-5 decision.
Tupua opened with a win by fall
against Thomas KcKinney of Hidden
Valley in 4:00. He then defeated
Hidden Valley’s Braydon Wright (8-
6), but then lost to Austin Tillery of
Henley by fall in 5:00.
Knocked into consolation, Tupua
went on to win his next four matches,
two by technical fall over Oakridge
and Sheldon. Tupua’s win against
Harvey put him into the match for
third place, where he landed a major
decision over Asa Alexander of
Cascade, 14-5.

Stocking of rainbow
trout will begin soon in
many mid coast water bod-
ies. Look at the stocking
report to see the full stock-

Fishing for the various
warm water fish species
tends to be slower during
the winter months. There
are numerous lakes in the
Florence area that can pro-
vide good opportunity and
have both boat and bank
access.

The last time the Sailors and Indians
faced each other, in Marcola, it was a
pair of close games that remained tight
throughout most of the first three peri-
ods. In that matchup, the Lady Sailors
came out on top by seven points, 30-
23. The boys team had a narrow loss by
just nine points, 44-35.
Friday night, when the two teams
faced off once again — this time at
Mapleton — it was another battle to the
final buzzer for both teams.
Except this time, neither Sailors
team was able to claim victory.
In both cases, a late-game rally by
the Indians proved to be the difference
in an otherwise virtual stalemate.
In the boys game, after Mapleton
junior post Nick Smith tied the game at
2-2 early in the first quarter, the Indians
went on a 12-0 run that left the Sailors
trailing 14-2 until Smith scored on a
jumper with 4:34 remaining.
After a free throw from Mohawk,
Smith scored on offensive rebound.
Aside from a free throw from sopho-
more post Dominic Wells, Smith was
the only scorer in an opening period
that put Mohawk ahead 22-9.
In the second quarter, juniors Hunter
Simington and Tyler Packebush came
in off the bench and were able to put
