Sophomore Mia Collins claimed three kills, junior Alyssa Richards had 2 kills, and senior Emma Collins had 1 kill to go with a pair of digs and 1 block. Defensively, junior Jordan Long dug up 3 kill attempts from Marshfield, along with 2 from Mia Collins. Thursday, the Lady Vikings turned the tide and picked up their first league win in an impressive sweep on the road at Brookings-Harbor, where York hammered 10 kills to go along with 4 kills each from Emma Collins, Mia Collins and Richards. Siuslaw opened with a 25-17 win in the first set, then dominated the Bruins in the second set, thanks in part to sophomore setting duo Kendal Robinson and Aylenne Vasquez, who provided the Lady Viks with the chance to score kills at both the net and middle row — a combination that kept Brookings-Harbor off balance. After winning the second game 25- 8, Siuslaw completed the sweep with an impressive 25-7 victory in the third set to claim the match. The win puts the Lady Viks at 1-1 in league, with their next match set for Tuesday, when they’ll face the Trojans on the road at Douglas High School.

In it, there are attendance and grade requirements outlined. However, the section covering use of drugs is my focus today. Teammates need to trust that all players on the team are preparing themselves to play each day. They are get- ting rest, eating nutritional- ly and training hard. Players should not jeopardize the success of their team through the use of any drug.

And if Thursday was any indication, Siuslaw fans have a lot to look forward to this season — and the seasons ahead. Though both Viking teams carry ros- ters dominated primarily by under- classmen, Siuslaw made it clear that its relative lack of experience isn’t a detri- ment when coupled with talent and determination. Both teams claimed first place at Tugman, with the boys team nudging Bandon, 49-50, and the Lady Vikings See XC 3B Recreational bottomfish season closes Monday Oregon’s recreational bottomfish season will close to all species but flat- fish as of Sunday, Sept. 17, at 11:59 p.m., because the quotas for several species have been reached. As of Monday morning (Sept. 18), anglers may no longer catch or retain lingcod, any species of rockfish, cabezon, greenling or other bottomfish. There is a new opportunity for anglers to fish for flatfish (except Pacific halibut) at all depths, also start- ing Monday. “Recreational bottomfishing was excellent this year, with effort and catch rates higher than anticipated,” said Maggie Sommer, ODFW marine fish- eries manager. “Because the annual quotas for several species have been met, fishery managers need to close the season.” Good weather in spring and summer, See SEASON 2B On the Bite A WEEKLY FISHING REPORT FOR THE LOCAL REGION www.dfw.state.or.us/RR MID COAST LAKES Olalla Reservoir has been stocked with about 100 surplus summer steel- head from the Siletz Falls trap, 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 inches may be retained, and these fish will almost See FISHING 3B
