Viking senior guard Scott Gordon spots unguarded sophomore post Trent Reavis inside the key.
Viks
is Madison! I live here at the
shelter and I am seeking the
purrfect forever home for
me! I have a sweet side to
me however I can also be a
bit feisty and rough around
the edges. I require someone
with a patient heart and a
gentle but fi rm touch who
is willing to work with me.
I know that for the right
person I would make a good
companion!

sophomore post Trent Reavis
scoring 4 of his team-high 15
points in the period.
The Vikings held a 10-9 lead
with four seconds on the clock,
draining a long 3-pointer to take a
narrow 12-10 lead to enter the
second quarter.
Marshfield came out to score
the first two buckets of the period
and take a 6-point lead, only to

have it cut in half with a 3-point
play by Reavis, 16-13. The
Pirates dropped another 3-point-
er, which was answered less than
a minute later with a long-ball by
junior guard Brogan Cornish to
keep it a 6-point game, 19-13.
The Pirates then went on a 7-2
run to end the period and take a
26-18 lead at the half.
Senior point guard Preston
Mitchell opened the second half
with a 3-pointer that brought
Siuslaw within 5 points. Once
again, both teams traded baskets
as sophomores Jared Brandt and
Jake Hickson scored inside for
the Vikings while Marshfield
unleashed a barrage of shots from
beyond the arc. Hickson scored
the final basket of the period,
helping to keep the Vikings with
seven to begin the final quarter,
36-29.
The fourth period began and
ended at the free-throw line,
where the Pirates scored 7 of
their 12 points in the quarter to
outrun the Vikings for the win,
48-36.
The loss eliminates Siuslaw
from any chance at the playoffs,
putting them in the position of
playing “spoiler” as the season
finishes up next week.
Last night, Siuslaw hosted
Brookings-Harbor (after press
deadlines). This Tuesday, the
Vikings will host Douglas before
finishing the season on the road
at North Bend on Friday, Feb. 19.
Both games tip off at 7:30 p.m.

“We never quite got the spark
we needed to capitalize on
opportunities to score,” said
Crook. “Having Hays in foul
trouble so early was a big loss for
us.”
Lowell broke away midway
through the second period and
held a sizeable lead for the rest of
the game before securing its 13th
win, 46-23.

Jesika Crook. “Overall, the girls
played very well against a tough
