In the final seconds, senior post Trent Reavis got the ball on a dish from senior Jared Brandt. Working the paint, Reavis was able to score on a quick bucket for a narrow 45-44 win. Reavis led all scoring with 14 points, followed by 11 points from senior Kyle King and 10 points from fellow senior Jake Hickson. Earlier that night, the Lady Vikings kept things close during the first half with a 26-26 tie entering the third quarter. But a late rally by the Falcons left Siuslaw trailing by 12 at the final buzzer, 54-42. Freshmen Lindsey Long and Brea Blankenship led scor- ing with 12 points apiece for Siuslaw. This Thursday, both teams kick off a three-day tourney in Harrisburg. Siuslaw senior Trent Reavis led scoring with 14 points in a 45-44 non-league nailbiter at Elmira. SIUSLAW NEWS FILE PHOTO Coast Guard Aux. offering boating safety class In the State of Oregon, a boater education card is required for all persons oper- ating any type of watercraft over 10 horsepower, and youth age 12 to 15 years old, operating any type power- boat.

When anglers have been able to get out, there has been success in both the flatfish and longleader fisheries. In the flatfish fishery, creels included sanddabs, sand sole and Petrale sole. The creels from long- leader trips consisted of yellowtail, widow, red- stripe and silvergray rock- fishes, plus a handful of jack mackerel (which has a separate daily bag limit, under Offshore Pelagic Species, of 25 fish in aggregate). From now through the end of the year, limited bottomfish fishing reopened outside of the 40 fathom regulatory line, only with the use of long- leader gear. (Bottomfish fishing remains closed inside the 40 fathom regu- latory line.) Longleader gear has a minimum of 30 feet between the sinker, or weight, and the lowest hook. Additionally, a non-com- pressible float above the top hook is required. No bait or lures larger than five inches in length are allowed. This gear is designed to target midwa- ter rockfish species such as yellowtail, widow, and canary rockfish, while avoiding the more bottom dwelling yelloweye rock- fish. The daily bag limit is 10 fish per angler for the remainder of 2017.
