New Siuslaw head football coach Jamin Pool said he expected to see a lot of mistakes in Friday’s opening game at Elmira, especially since initiating a new spread offense for the Vikings this season. And though there were moments where things came together, there weren’t enough of them to overcome the Falcons. “How we respond at this point will reveal our character,” Pool said. “Character is what we’re about, and character is what will keep us • SHS VOLLEYBALL HOSTS P.

IN OPENER improving this season — as a team and as indi- viduals.” Though the Vikings ended up leaving the field with a 35-14 loss, there were plenty of bright spots to build on from a team made up predominantly of juniors and freshmen. From the pocket, junior quarterback Jared Brandt completed 23 of 31 passes, throwing for 276 yards, including an 80-yard touchdown pass to junior tight end Trent Reavis. Runningback Quincy Rusk, also a junior, carried the ball 16 times for 54 yards and a touchdown late in the game. Reavis had nine catches for 172 yards on the night, with junior kicker Evan Teter converting both PATs. “Our spread offense should open up opportu- nities for us to make big plays,” said Pool. “If we can execute, we can make those plays See VIKINGS 2B AT T RIANLGE L AKE 4 P .

But before game time, he made a request to senior quarterback Hunter Simington. “He asked me to please give him one pass in the game. Just something small,” said Simington. “So I did.” And that pass happened to be a 36- yard bomb for Packebush’s first varsi- ty touchdown. Simington’s response after the pass to Packebush was straightforward. “Wasn’t that better than a short little pass?” The Sailors dominated the field against the Redsides, scoring twice in the first quarter for a 14-0 lead, and four more times before the half. The closest South Wasco came to Mapleton was See SAILORS 2B Cutthroat, Chinook The Siuslaw River and bay is open for Chinook salmon through Dec. 31.
