Siuslaw News Of the four Far West League teams on the mats during Saturday’s 21-team Nick Lutz Memorial Invitational, the Vikings placed first, and sixth overall. “It is one of our biggest meets in terms of the number of teams that par- ticipated,” Siuslaw coach Neil Wartnik said on Saturday, “and our wrestlers are really battling well.” Leading that battle were Richard Huff (120 lbs.), Scott Simmons (138 lbs.), Kainan Lane (285 lbs.), and Nick Steinman (170 lbs), each of whom placed at the invitational, which includ- ed teams ranging in size from Sheldon to Triangle Lake.

Siuslaw News It took a while for the Lady Viks to gain momentum against visiting South Umpqua last Friday night, but once they did there was no stopping them. “The first half wasn’t our best game,” said Siuslaw coach Clint Tatum. “But we came out strong and doubled down on their big girls in the second half — and we were able to run what we wanted to.” Siuslaw switched up its defense from a Diamond-and-1 to a 2-1-2 zone, forc- ing the Lancers to the perimeter. This gave the Lady Viks more opportunities off the glass and a chance to run quick transitions. The result was an explosive second half, particularly for senior Destinie Tatum, who lead scoring with 19 points on the night, along with 6 rebounds. She went 7-for-13 from the field and was 5-for-5 from the charity See LADY VIKS 3B NED HICKSON/SIUSLAW NEWS S IUSLAW OPENS B Y N ED H ICKSON Siuslaw News Siuslaw boys basketball coach Dylan Perry said he spent the week talking about the importance of remaining focused, particularly in close games.
