SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 2017
State
from 1B
quickly became evident that the
Vikings had come to play like
they had never played before.
“It’s been a long time since
Siuslaw hosted a state playoff
game,” said Siuslaw coach
Dylan Perry, “so our guys came
into the game wanting to make
a deep run into the post season.”
Though the Bulldogs were
the first to score on a pair of
charity shots, Siuslaw rallied
quickly with an offensive
rebound by junior post Trent
Reavis, who then scored on a 3-
point play to give the Viks a 5-2
advantage.
North Bend sank a short
jumper to pull within 1 point,
with junior wing Jake Hickson
dishing the ball to junior Kyle
King for a quick bucket.
The Bulldogs answered at the
other end of the court, but a long
3-pointer by Hickson put
Siuslaw ahead by 4. Hickson
the added a pair of freethrows
with 13 seconds left for an 11-6
lead heading into the second
quarter.
The last time the two teams
faced each other, at North Bend,
the Vikings entered the half
with a slim lead over the
Bulldogs, who came back to
outscore the Viks by double
digits in the third quarter — and
create a deficit Siuslaw was
unable to overcome.
This time, it was North
Bend’s turn to hold the lead at
halftime, 25-21.
But unlike the last time, there
was no third-quarter blitz by the
Bulldogs, who were held to just
9 points by Siuslaw’s solid
defensive efforts. Meanwhile,
the Vikings tacked on 10 points
to stay within 3 points, 34-31, to
start the fourth quarter.
“These types of games are
extremely valuable, win or
lose,” Perry said. “The intensity
and pressure are what build
confidence and an understand-
ing of what needs to be done to
win games like that.”
The Vikings, with scoring
from junior Jared Brandt, fresh-
man Sam Myers, Reavis, King
and Hickson, were within 2
points, 41-43, with just over 1
minute to go when foul trouble
for the Vikings put the Bulldogs
at the charity line three times in
the last 45 seconds.
During that time, North Bend
was able to extend its lead to 6
and hold out for the win, 47-41.
“If we could have executed
and stay focused down the
stretch, I believe the outcome
would have been in our favor,”
said Perry.
That same night, the Viks got
a little help from rival Douglas,
which hosted Marshfield for a
upset that shifted standings in
the Far West League.
The win by the Trojans
bumped them up into a tie for
second place with Siuslaw, with
Marshfield dropping into fourth
place. Since the Vikings had
defeated Douglas twice this sea-
son, Siuslaw automatically won
the tie for second place in
league, dropping the Trojans
into third place.
As a result, Douglas will
open the state play-in on the
road; Siuslaw will host a game
this Friday, most likely against
Newport or Cascade.
“I hope to see the gym
packed to capacity on Friday
night,” said Perry.
North Bend (10-0) will get a
bye in round one. Marshfield
could still potentially make the
state playoffs, depending on
their final ranking, which was
determined last night (after
press deadlines.)
Friday’s play-in game at
Siuslaw will tip off at 7 p.m.
Siuslaw junior wing
Jake Hickson had a trio of
3-pointers against North
Bend on Friday night. The
Viks will host either
Newport or Cascade this
Friday in the opening round
of the state 4A basketball
play-in.

Fishing
from 3B
Bradley, Saunders, Powers
and Butterfield lakes in
October. Fishing for these
stocked fish has slowed down.
Coos County lakes and ponds
will not be stocked again until
the spring.
COOS RIVER BASIN:
Dungeness crab, bay clams,
rockfish, steelhead
Trout fishing in streams is
closed until May 22.
A few steelhead have been
caught the past few weeks in
the West Fork Millicoma,
East Fork Millicoma, and
South Fork Coos rivers.
The West Fork Millicoma
was the only river in the basin
that was fishable over the past
weekend.
Anglers are drifting eggs or
corkies along the stream bot-
tom or using a jig suspended
under a bobber. Anglers fish-
ing the South Fork Coos River
above Dellwood will need a
permit from Weyerhaeuser,
which they can pick up at the
Dellwood office.
In the Coos Basin 1 addi-
tional hatchery steelhead may
be retained per day for a total
aggregate of 3 adult fish har-
vested daily.
Anglers have been catching
a few rockfish and surfperch
along the jetties and sub-
merged rock piles. Fishing for
rockfish in the bay has been
spotty. The marine fish daily
bag limit for bottom fish
(rockfish) is 7 fish and a sepa-
rate daily limit for lingcod (2).
The 7 fish marine bag limit
will remain in place, with
these adjustments for 2017:
Create a sub-bag limit of 6
black rockfish, remove the
sub-bag limit for canary rock-
fish, add China/quillback/cop-
per rockfishes to the sub-bag
limit with blue/Deacon rock-
fish and change the limit from
3 to 4.
Finally remove the 10-inch
minimum size for kelp green-
ling.
Retention of cabezon is not
allowed until July 1.
Recreational crabbing is
now open in all Oregon
waters. Crabbing was decent
over the weekend in Coos
Bay.
Crabbing from a boat has
been better than crabbing from
the dock but dock crabbers are
picking up a few legal crabs.
Recreational harvest of bay
clams remains open along the
entire Oregon coast.
Clamming is excellent during
low tides near Charleston, off
Cape Arago Highway, and
Clam Island.
There are also good places
to dig clams even on positive
low tides in Coos Bay.
Recreational harvest of
razor clams and mussels is
closed from the entire Oregon
coast due to elevated levels of
domoic acid.
This includes all beaches
and all bays. Before any shell-
fish harvest trip, make sure to
check the Oregon Department
of Agriculture website for any
updates.
COQUILLE RIVER BASIN:
Crab, steelhead, salmon
Trout fishing in streams is
closed until May 22.
Steelhead anglers have
reported catching a few steel-
head in the North Fork
Coquille at LaVerne Park and
the South Fork Coquille rivers.
Anglers have had success
drifting eggs or corkies.
Recreational crabbing is
now open in all Oregon
waters.
Crabbing is very slow in the
lower Coquille River due to
the large amounts of freshwa-
ter coming downstream.
TENMILE BASIN: Trout,
bass, yellow perch, steelhead
Trout fishing in the streams
of the Tenmile Basin are now
closed until May 22. Trout
fishing in Tenmile Lakes is
open all year.
A few steelhead have been
reported in Tenmile Creek.
Anglers will have success
plunking near the acclimation
sites or fishing a jig under a
bobber. Eel Creek is now open
to steelhead fishing.
Largemouth bass fishing has
slowed down over the past few
weeks. Anglers are catching
bass near structure or on the
deep end of the weed lines
using jigs or rubber worms.
Fishing for yellow perch has
picked up in Tenmile Lakes.
