n the week before last Friday’s 43-
point loss to Douglas during
Siuslaw’s football league opener,
Siuslaw High School officials were
already discussing their concerns over
the team’s upcoming game against
undefeated North Bend (4-0) — a team
that is literally and figuratively twice
the size as Siuslaw.
It’s an equation that members of the
Oregon School Activities Association
Reclassification Board have been
wrestling with for the past year in an
attempt to level the playing field for
schools within leagues where the dis-
parity between school sizes has
become more prevalent.

Bend’s last two games against Cascade

Siuslaw second-year head coach Jamin Pool told players Monday of the
decision to forfeit this Friday’s game against 4-0 North Bend.
STRIDES
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
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.

More than 160 participants showed up Sunday morning at Miller Park for the second annual Florence Half
Marathon, hosted by Pink Buffalo Racing, with 52-year-old Roger Sutton of Austin, Texas, completing the 13.1-
mile course in 1 hours, 23 minutes and 21 seconds to win the individual men’s title. Chandra Wilkins, 39, of
Springfield, won the women’s title in 1:33:21. (More photos Page 2B)
Chinook, trout
Fall Chinook angling
continues and fishing is
picking up in tidewater.
Trout season continues
with some nice cutthroat
around. Remember the
limit on streams and rivers
is two per day over 8-inch-
es.
Anglers are reminded
the two-rod validation is
only valid while angling in
standing water bodies
excluding coastal lakes
with wild coho seasons.
Two rods are prohibited
on all coastal rivers, tide-
water, estuaries and bays.

second quarter.
“He got injured three plays into the
game and tried to play through, but it
just wasn’t going to happen,” said
Greene, who turned to freshman JJ
Neece to fill the void — and Neece
delivered.
On the surface, last Friday’s game at
Yoncalla seemed to reflect a lopsided
win from start to finish. But Mapleton
coach Jeff Greene wouldn’t agree with
that summation.
“The final score definitely didn’t
reflect how hard our kids played, or the
challenges we faced to compete,” said
Greene, whose team lost one of its key
