Though it was a new venue for the
sixth annual Siuslaw Hall of Fame
induction ceremony on Saturday, with
Viking fans, inductees, family and
friends gathering at Three Rivers
Casino Resort, the evening was full of
blasts from Siuslaw legendary athletic
past.
“It was another amazing celebration
of the history of Siuslaw athletics,”
said Chris Johnson, who serves as the
Hall of Fame chairman as well as the
newly appointed athletic director at
Siuslaw. “We have a lot of athletic tra-
dition at Siuslaw, and it’s a night to
acknowledge and celebrate it.”
It was the second-largest group of
inductees since the Hall of Fame’s
debut in 2011, when 13 individuals and
one team were recognized, spanning
more than 40 years of athletics history
and achievement.
On Saturday, eight individuals and
two teams were welcomed into the
hallowed hall.
Harold McClellan, a 1958 graduate,
was the first to take the stage after
being introduced by his son and fellow
Hall-of-Famer Jef McClellan, who was
inducted in 2012.
“I can’t express what it means to
stand here and introduce my father
tonight,” McClellan said as his father
made his way to the podium. “It’s a
very special night for all of us.”

Rainbow trout stocking
is complete along the mid

be available in most lakes
through the summer.
Fishing for the various
warm water fish species is
good this time of year as
fish move to the shallows
for spawning. There are
numerous lakes in the
Florence area that can pro-
vide good opportunity.

New head volleyball coach Jon
Hornung tends to smile a lot. Not just
because he loves the sport. Or because
he’s excited about taking over a pro-
gram he knows has all the ingredients
to reach the next level.
“It’s just a great group I’m really
enjoying coaching,” Hornung says.
“I’ve got players who want to stay after
practice to work on ways to improve
their serves or kill shots. Not for them-
selves but for the team.
“You have to love that as a coach.”
His players are sharing the love.
“It’s a good fit and we’re all on the
same page,” says Jordan Long, a soph-
omore who will once again be seeing
some solid varsity minutes this season.
“He makes it fun, and we’re getting in
lots of conditioning while we’re doing
it.”
Hornung played volleyball through-
out his school years, including at state
in high school, the junior Olympics and
at the intramural level in college while
at Minnesota-Duluth pursuing his
interests in education and science. As a
graduate student at Oregon State
University, Hornung switched gears
from a doctorate in oceanology to mas-
ter’s degrees in education and oceanol-
ogy before being hired at Siuslaw High
School four years ago.
He kept his love for volleyball burn-
ing by volunteering as a line coach dur-
ing home matches. It also kept him
plugged into the players and the
