Mapleton
from 1B
Thursday night, their best
was almost — but not quite —
good enough to beat second-
place Triangle Lake (10-3).
After losing the first two
matches, 18-25, 13-25, the
Sailors rallied back in game
three, coming from a 4-9 deficit
to take an 11-9 lead after five
consecutive aces from Hays.
The Lakers took back the
lead, only to have West serve
three aces to give Mapleton an
18-13 lead that prompted a
Lakers time out.
Mapleton went on to win the
set 25-18, with Wells deliver-
ing the final point on an ace.
“We’ve come together so
much this season,” said
Michael, who had 9 aces
against the Lakers. “Having

it works,” said Goodwin, who
received a free entry into the half-
marathon after winning the
Coburg Half-Marathon earlier
this year.
“My reward was another 13.1
miles of punishment,” he joked.
“After my heart attack, every-
thing changed and running
became a bigger part of it.”
Finishing second was Kyle
Terry, 33, of Florence (1:20:03),
with Lindsey Ulrich, also of
Florence, finishing first among

such a small team has forced us
to communicate and work
together really well.
“We have a lot of trust in
each other.”
While the Sailors fought
hard in game four, they never
took the lead as Triangle Lake
won the match in game four,
25-17.
“We just sort of ran out of
steam,” said Crook, whose ros-
ter has just seven active players
at the moment. “When there’s
only one person on the bench
it’s hard to keep the energy up.
“But the team continues
doing an amazing job improv-
ing with every game.”
Next week, Mapleton has
two road games, beginning
Tuesday at Mohawk, then at
Eddyville on Thursday.
Both matches begin at 6:30
p.m.

to have a race like this without
ever leaving town.”

As runners continued to cross
the finish, each was presented
with a participation medal, along
with medals for the top finishers
in each division as well as a com-
memorative T-shirt.
Afterward, runners were treat-
ed to snacks, a beer garden and
lots of stories as they shared
experiences from the 13.1-mile
trek that carried them from Miller
Park, out to the North Jetty and
eventually back to the park.
When Archer returned at
2:11:21, there was a smile on his
face as he held both thumbs up.
“This was three times longer
than anything I’ve run in the last
three months,” he said. “This was
a good test of endurance, and
something we’ve been trying to
get started here for a long time.

Meet
Honeyman
Hi! My name is Honeyman and I
want to be your furry friend. About
2-1/2 years ago some nice people
brought me into the Florence Area
Humane Society. They said they
had found me roaming Honeyman
Campground.
I am kind of honey colored and I
can be pretty darn sweet so the name
stuck. I love to play and occasionally I
get a little hyper but not to worry, the shelter staff will give me some tasty
treats that help to calm me and they seem to work pretty good!
If you would like to meet Honeyman or any of his
friends, please visit us at:

paid dividends on the road,
allowing hitters like Rose and
York, along with senior Claire
Waggoner, junior Emma
Collins and younger sister Mia
Collins, a freshman, to keep
opponents guessing throughout
each set.
Another emerging threat is
sophomore Jordan Long, who
has been getting more playing
time due to her ability to score
kills from the outside.
Along with North Bend and
Douglas tied for second,
Marshfield is in third place in
the FWL at 3-3, followed by
South Umpqua (3-1) and
Brookings-Harbor (0-6).
Saturday, the Vikings will
play in the North Marion Fall
Classic in Aurora, along with
teams from North Eugene,
Tillamook, La Grande, Cottage
Grove, Gladstone and North

ning at 6:30 p.m.
