It was a busy week for the
Sailors, who were on the road
Tuesday and Thursday before
returning to their own hard-
wood last night. For the girls
Tuesday night, it was one of
their highest-scoring games
of the season. Unfortunately,
it wasn’t enough to edge out
the Lady Lakers, who held on
for a 45-31 win.
In the boys’ game, the
Sailors had a tougher time
against the high-pressure
Lakers’ offense, which took
an early lead en route to a
lopsided 82-33 win.
Thursday, both teams were
back on the road, at Lowell,
where the Lady Sailors fell
67-25, and the boys lost 69-
24.
Last night’s game against
Falls City was after press
deadlines.

On the road at Marshfield Tuesday
night, the Viking girls basketball team
had no answers for the No. 6-ranked
Lady Pirates, who had 8-0 runs in both
the first and second quarters — the last
of which left the Lady Viks with a 32-
5 deficit before the end of the first half.
Siuslaw seniors Destinie Tatum and
Brittany Long, each of whom routinely
score in double figures, were held to
less than 10 points each — Tatum with
7 and Long with 5.
The Viks also got scoring from sen-
iors Claire Waggoner and Abby
Watkins with 4 points each, 3 points
from senior Nikki Launius, and two
points each from junior Carreina
Greenburg and sophomore Alyssa
Richards, who suffered an ankle injury
in the game and will likely not return to
the floor this season.
Marshfield drained four 3-pointers
in the final quarter to secure a 79-28
win.
Today, Siuslaw hosts Brooking-
Harbor in a rescheduled game from
Friday, beginning at 1 p.m.
