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.

Tuesday night was “ladies night” as
the Lady Sailors hosted the Red Devils
of Lowell while, in the stands, mem-
bers of the Mapleton boys’ team
offered support while having the night
off.
Though it was one of the lowest-
scoring games of the season for the
Lady Sailors, 8 of the team’s 10 points
came from sophomore post Haley

“It doesn’t show on the scoreboard,
but the girls battle hard every game.
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

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. Juniors Kyle King, Trent Reavis
and Jared Brandt combined for 38 of the
