he Vikings took a total of four wrestlers to this
year’s Oregon School Activities Association
(OSAA) 4A state wrestling meet at Veterans
Memorial Coliseum in Portland, where junior Richard
Huff (113 lbs.), senior Kainan Lane (285 lbs.), senior
Nick Steinman (170 lbs) and sophomore Riley Jennings
(152 lbs.) were on the mats for a chance at state titles.
The two-day competition began Friday, with
Steinman and Jennings unfortunately eliminated by
day’s end. However, Lane and Huff continued into
Saturday after two wins in the qualifying rounds.
Huff pinned both of his opponents, first against
Colton West from Marshfield in 1 minute, 40 seconds.
He then went on to battle Jarrett Graff in the quarterfi-
nals in 5:01.
Lane also pinned his way into Saturday’s semifinals,
defeating Miguel Galindo of Ontario (2:32) and Rogelio
NORTH COAST
LAKES:
Nehalem Hatchery
released 200 surplus winter
steelhead into Vernonia
pond, 57 into Lost Lake
and 60 into Lake Lytle.
These fish get fairly active
in the lake and offer a
unique fishing experience,
especially when the rivers
are blown out. Once in the
lake they are considered
“trout” and do not require a
Combined Angling Tag.
Anglers are reminded,
however, that only one
trout per day over 20 inch-
es may be retained, and
these fish will almost all be
in that size range.

The Vikings came into last Friday’s
state play-in game looking for a shot at
redemption against a team that had
narrowly defeated them in pre-season
play, as well as a shot at reaching the
state play-offs for the first time in
nearly a decade with a win over the
visiting Cubs.
The Viks were the first to score, on
a rebound from junior post Trent
Reavis, but it didn’t come for a full
two minutes into the game. The Cubs
responded quickly, scoring three times
in the next 90 seconds — on 3-pointer
and a pair of rebounds for a 7-2 lead.
The Vikings rallied on a freethrow
from senior point guard Brogan
Cornish and 3-point play by junior for-
ward Kyle King to close the gap to
within 1 point, but the Cubs swept the
final two minutes with another long 3-
pointer and foul shooting for a 14-6
lead.
The Vikings nearly matched the
Cubs point-for-point in the second
