the Viking boys team was the
No. 12 seed and the girls team
landed the No. 4 seed headed
into the finals.
The lady Vikings started the
double elimination tournament
by
bowling
12th-seeded
McKay High School. A narrow,
2-pin loss by Siuslaw put the
girls team into the consolation
bracket for a chance at third
place.
Meanwhile, the boys opened
the double elimination round
against district rival North
Bend. The Vikings were able to
avenge a tough district loss to
the Bulldogs by defeating them
in the finals.
In the second round of com-
petition for the Lady Vikings
decisively defeated Oregon
City by 19 pins, earning them a
chance back into the finals. To
do that, they first needed to beat
No. 1 seed Henley.
Unfortunately, Siuslaw was
stung by the Hornets, who went
on to win the state title.
The Lady Viks finished 9th
overall.

of Crook County, 6-1. From
there, Lane faced Donnie Clark
of McLoughlin, who came into
the meet ranked at No. 2. Lane
hammered Clark, pinning him in
just 1:40 for fifth place overall.
In the championship match at
113 pounds, Huff squared off
against Molalla freshman
Maximus Tate, who had beaten
Marshfield sophomore Frankie
Harlow in the semifinals, 10-6.
In this match, Tate quickly
found himself in trouble as Huff
took him to the mat within the
first minute then pinned him in
1:42 for the 113-pound 4A state
title.
Huff went undefeated at state,
4-0, and was 40-3 for the season
— and undefeated at 18-0 in the
113-pound bracket.
Sweet Home won the 4A team
title by just one-half point over
Crook County, 181 to 181.5.
Marshfield was fourth (147), and
Siuslaw was 12th in team scoring
with 49 points.

various warm water fish
species will slow as water
temperatures cool. There are
numerous lakes in the
Florence area that can provide
good opportunity.
Wild winter steelhead can
be retained on the Salmon
River. Daily and annual bag
limit on wild winter steelhead
are 1/day and 3/year.
Casting spinners, drifting
bait or using a bobber and jig
can be effective.
SILETZ RIVER: Steelhead
The river is shaping up after
last week’s rain. Steelhead
fishing is fair. Drift boaters are
having fair success from
Moonshine Park to Siletz and
bank anglers are catching
hatchery fish in the Siletz
gorge.
Casting spinners, drifting
bait or using a bobber and jig
can be effective.
WILSON RIVER: Steelhead
Fishing was slow on the
Wilson last weekend due to
high water and marginal con-
ditions. It should be dropping
into prime shape by the end of
the week and through the
weekend. There should be
plenty of broodstock hatchery
and wild steelhead around,
and there have been some big
fish coming off the Wilson
this year.
All the usual techniques
such as side drifting, float
fishing, drift fishing, or
pulling plugs or divers and
bait should be effective.

The junior 113 pound wrestler
went into the OSAA 4A State
finals as the number one seed
in his weight class and came
away with the championship
trophy. Huff won his first two
matches by fall, pinning his
opponents in 1:40 and 5:01,
then claimed his third win by a
major decision, 13-3. In his
final match, he pinned his
opponent in 1:42.

Meet Jada
Hi there! My name is Jada! I am
a 2yr old American Staffordshire
mix, and yes, I know my brindle tiger
stripes make heads turn. I love to play
and run outside, and I am a great
hugger. I really need to be with a
family that has no other pets because
I don’t play well with others and I love
all the attention. I am looking for a
forever home with lots of time to
spend with me outdoors. Is this you?
If so, then please come see me at the
Oregon Coast Humane Society.
If you have a dog already and are
interested we will do an introduction with any of our dogs before an adoption
will be fi nalized.
