Here are some of their
reasons;
1. I can coach better than
that coach.
The coach calls a time-
out. When the timeout deci-
sion ends poorly, you
decide it was a coaching
error. You would have made
a better call. This is com-
monly known as “Monday
morning quarterbacking.”
If coaches could foresee
The Lady Vikings volleyball team
began its week far from home in the
Far West League, taking on the Trojans
at Douglas High School in Winston for
what turned out to be a hard-fought win
in four sets.
After falling to the Trojans in the
opening set, 25-15, Siuslaw’s defense,
led by senior libero Maci Wells, dug
deep as the offense went to work and
tied the match at 1-1 after winning
game two, 25-17.
Led by junior middle blocker and
power hitter Makenzie York and serv-
ing from junior Jordan Long, the Lady
Viks got the advantage with a 25-18
win in the third set — and one win
away from taking the match.
Douglas was also aware of being in
jeopardy, which prompted the Trojans
to battle back in the fourth set, tying the
game late and forcing extra points.

The Lady Sailors continue to battle
on the court as the Mountain West
League rolls on, searching for a way to
nab their first league win.
With a mixture of seasoned juniors
and talented but inexperienced fresh-
men, it’s a growing season for a team
that will eventually receive big divi-
dends. In the meantime, the Sailors
continue to gain experience while get-

ting closer to that elusive league win.
Tuesday, Mapleton began a two-
match road week that started with a
tough 25-17, 25-11, 25-14 loss at
Mohawk. Details regarding Thursday’s
match-up at Eddyville were unavailable
at press time, other than being listed as
a loss on the OSAA website as of
Friday.
The Lady Sailors will host Alsea on
Tuesday, beginning at 6 p.m.
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
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.
