Last week, the Vikings hosted the Lancers of South Umpqua High School during the last home game for Siuslaw’s five seniors: wide receiver Ryan Lee, quarterback Jared Brandt, wide receiver Patrick Hill, wide receiver Trent Reavis and lineman Salvador Sierra. The Lancers (3-1), currently tied for second place with North Bend, had little trouble with the Vikings, taking an early lead and allowing only one trip across the goal line for Siuslaw — provided by Reavis with blocking from fellow senior Hill. South Umpqua finished with the win, 54-7. This Friday, the Far West League will fin- ish the regular season, with Siuslaw and Brookings-Harbor each hoping for a win to end the season on. Kick-off for Friday’s game is set for 7 p.m. at the Bruins’ den. Siuslaw senior wide receiver Trent Reavis approaches the end zone to provide the Vikings with their only touchdown against the Lancers last Friday.

It would be the first of 7 conversions and 9 trips into the end zone for Mapleton.

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. SIUSLAW RIVER: Chinook, trout Fall Chinook angling continues and fishing is picking up in tidewater.
