There are many skills necessary to safely and effectively play the game. The many offensive and defensive positions require time to learn. The daily double has been around even before my first one in 1966. The break between twice-a-day practices allows players to rehydrate, eat and rest tired muscles. Conditioning will vary, depending on the team’s fit- ness upon the start of dou- bles. I have few fond memo- ries of my daily doubles. I had three varsity coaches in three years. Each coach had a different philosophy, the See Aug. 13 4:23am / 5.8 4:56pm / 6.9 Aug. 14 5:29am/ 5.3 5:46pm/ 7.0 Aug. 15 12:13am / 5.6 11:21pm/ 7.1 Aug. 16 8:11am / 5.0 7:47pm/ 7.3 Aug. 17 9:30am / 5.2 8:52pm / 7.5 COACH 2B 10:30am / 0.9 11:32m / 1.0 On the Bite 11:18am / 1.5 5:44am / -0.3 5:32pm/ 2.6 Clockwise from top: Jennifer French gives a high-five as golfers head to the a shotgun start; Sam Spayd gives a fly-by to signal the start of Saturday’s scramble; Trumpeter Ron Green plays the National Anthem.

A WEEKLY FISHING REPORT FOR THE LOCAL REGION www.dfw.state.or.us/RR MID COAST LAKES Olalla Reservoir has been stocked with over 50 surplus summer steelhead from the Siletz Falls trap, so far this season. These fish get fairly active in the lake and offer a unique fishing experience. 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. Mid Coast lakes been stocked with trout through- out the spring. Trout stock- ing is over until the fall but there still should be fish around to catch. Water temps are great and fish should be hungry, so go See FISHING 3B
