n 2003, Dylan Perry spent what
was arguably the longest seven-
and-a-half minutes of his life drib-
bling on the hardwood against
Tillamook. As senior point guard for
the Viking boys basketball team mak-
ing its second consecutive state
appearance, “The pressure was
tremendous,” Perry said.
Coached by Bob McBeth, Perry
initiated a delay offense as Tillamook
waited in a 2-3 zone.
And waited.
V IKING
And waited some more as Perry
stood along the perimeter and drib-
bled in place in hopes of drawing the
Cheesemakers out of their defensive
stance.
With the clock approaching the 8-
minute mark, Perry took a 3-point
shot at the buzzer. The shot missed
and the Vikings ended the first quarter
tied with Tillamook, 0-0.
Though the Cheesemakers went on
to win the first round of state playoffs
43-32, Perry walked away from the
experience with a lesson in patience
and a clear understanding of what
kind of pressure comes with perform-
ROOTS
ing at the varsity level.
In addition to having his own ties
to Siuslaw basketball as a player,
Perry has another shared experience
with this year’s team.
He’s coached most of the players
before as a JV coach two years ago.
“I know the potential this team
has,” said Perry. “It’s a very competi-
tive group that is willing to work hard
to be succesful.”
After taking a year off from coach-
ing, Perry saw the listing for head
basketball coach of Siuslaw’s

J UNIOR V IKINGS
The Junior Vikings football team of
the Boys and Girls Club came into last
Saturday’s game against Newport with
a 5-0 record, hoping to end the season
undefeated with a win over the Cubs.
The last time the two teams faced
off, the Vikings beat the Cubs 28-0,
go to oregonstateparks .org, navigate
to a park, and click the “Reserve
Online” button.
Parks just outside the path of totali-
ty will experience a partial eclipse.
Travel on Aug. 21, will be challenging

nificant.
As of Friday, reservable sites in the
zone of a partial eclipse are still avail-
able at Nehalem Bay State Park and

finalized.

Ms. Beasley is looking for
her own Beasley family.
She is a proper, mature,
independent lady, but plays
like a kitten with toys. She
is 9 years old and has a bit
of a sensitive stomach, so
she is on a special diet. Ms.
Beasley is O.K. with other
cats as long as they don’t
get too bossy with her. This lovely lady had to come
live with us due to her owners health. She is awaiting
your visit.
Lassie is a very
bonny lass - a Scot-
tish Fold. When she
fi rst came in it took
her a while to get
comfortable and
decide she could
trust us, now she
give us kisses and
licks our hands and likes to be petted. She was found
as a stray, we think she is about 8 years old. She is a
sweet girl that talks with a growl - but don’t let that fool
you, that’s just her Scottish brogue.
