M . BOYS : 7 P . M . HOSTS With little more than two weeks remaining before district competition (Feb. 10-11), the Viking wrestling team is gearing up for a chance at a state appearance for some of its wrestlers. Chief among them is Richard Huff, wrestling at 113 pounds, whose record of 23-2 bodes well for some time on the state mats. Last weekend at the Sutherlin Invitational, Huff pinned Dayton oppo- nent Noah Mauhew in just 41 seconds in the championship round following pins against Bailey Wentz of Glide (1:44) and Jakob Allen of Douglas (1:27) earlier in the day. This past Tuesday, Huff was among six wrestlers who came away with a win at the Philomath dual meet. While Huff, as well as Eyza Abbas Carrasco, won by forfeit, Siuslaw had four wins by pin: Joaquine Cervantes (145 lbs.), Nick Steinman (170 lbs.), Clark Hooper (182 lbs.) and Matthew Horillo (285 lbs.). Despite Siuslaw’s pins and wins by forfeit, the Warriors managed a slim 39-36 win after claiming the 152- pound and 160-pound matches. Siuslaw will be back on the mats this Wednesday at the Far West League tournament at North Bend, then again that weekend at the multi-divisional Cottage Grove Invitational Feb. 3 and 4. Siuslaw will compete for a chance at the state mats during district competi- tion at South Umpqua Feb. 10 and 11, with top finishers qualifying for state competition Feb. 24 and 25 in Portland.

They never quit,” said Mapleton coach Mike Murray, whose team is at 0-4 in league. “It’s not easy when you some- times end the game with only four players on the court because of fouls.” Such was the case Tuesday, when See Viks boys down Douglas, girls come up short B Y N ED H ICKSON Siuslaw News Siuslaw was home Tuesday night to host Douglas, with the Lady Vikings tipping off in the first matchup of the night. Senior Destinie Tatum came the closest to doubl- digit scoring, leading Siuslaw with 9 points, with 7 points from senior Brittany Long and 6 points from freshman Mia Collins. But Douglas (3-1), ranked No. 12 in the 4A division quickly got ahead and stayed there, using its high-pressure defense to limit Viking possessions and control the back- boards for a 61-35 win. That same night, the Far West League’s other two top teams also came away with vic- tories — North Bend over Brookings-Harbor (49-42) and Marshfield over South Umpqua (60-30) — to keep the Lady Pirates at the top of the league at 4-0. Against Douglas, the Lady Viks also got scoring from Claire Waggoner (4), Madison Reynolds (4), 2 points each from Marika White and Nikki Launius, and 1 point from Abby Watkins. Following the girls game, the Viking boys tipped off for what became the team’s sev- enth win in 11 games after a 45-36 defeat of the Trojans.
