It didn’t take much time for the
Sailors to get a handle on the
Wolverines during last Friday’s home-
coming football game at Mapleton
High School.
About one quarter to be exact.
Leading 32-8 heading into the sec-
ond period, Mapleton made it clear that
it had every intention of securing a win
during one of the biggest nights of the
year.
Less than two minutes into the quar-
ter, Hunter Simington emerged from
the quarterback pocket and scampered
43 yards into the end zone. A conver-
sion by senior tight end Nick Smith
made it 40-8.

A combination of injuries that left
key players out of position and a hard-
hitting Douglas team lead to Siuslaw
losing its league opener at Winston last
Friday night, where the Vikings experi-
enced a rare shutout, 53-0.
That same night, South Umpqua
squashed Marshfield, 42-20, and North
Bend, who the Vikings host this Friday,
hammered Brookings-Harbor 49-7.
Over the course of the next few
weeks, Siuslaw will face three of the
4A’s top-10 ranked teams as they try to
reach the road to a post-season appear-
ance.
“We didn’t play up to our potential,
but we’ll be all right,” said coach Jamin
Pool.
Against the Trojans, Siuslaw was

Cutthroat, Chinook
The Siuslaw River and
bay is open for Chinook
salmon through Dec. 31.
Fishing is slow but will
pick up over the next sev-
eral weeks. Trolling her-
ring in the lower bay is an
effective technique. Eggs
and bobber or drifting eggs
can be productive in the
upper bay and river as the
season progresses.
For cutthroat trout, cast-
ing small spinners, spoons
or fly fishing streamers or
dry flies can be very effec-
tive. Angling for all species
in streams above tidewater
is now open. Casting small
spinners, spoons or fly
fishing streamers or dry
flies can be very effective.
