Leading the way are a group of seasoned seniors looking to build on their success from last season. Last year, the Viking boys team fin- ished third at the state tournament while the girls finished among the top 10 in seventh place. Senior returners include Patrick Hill, Evan Johnson, Logan Lindner and Neil DeVera for the boys, along with Abby Coday, Maxine Jones an Dixie Dyess for the girls. “Now four weeks into the season, the outlook looks real promising,” said Siuslaw bowling coordinator Dusty Anderson. Through the first four tournaments, the boys team has one third-place and three first-place finishes. Meanwhile, the Lady Vikings are undefeated, with four first-place finishes. The Vikings also have a strong JV boys team. In the first four tournaments its has finished in the top three in each tournament, including a first-place fin- ish in the first home tournament held last Sunday — earning them the oppor- tunity to complete at the varsity tourna- ment scheduled for Jan. 7 at Holiday Bowl. The Lady Vikings will be at North Bend that same day. “Anyone interested in watching some great young local bowlers com- pete should come and watch on Jan. 7,” Anderson said. Last April, some of this year’s bowlers competed at the youth state tournament at Highland Bowl in Corvallis, where there were two sets of doubles champions. In division 1, Abby Coday and Neil DeVera each won championships while, in division 3, Destiny Teel and Clay Kramer took home championship honors. 5:04am / 3.1 5:55pm / -0.3 Vikings improve to 4-2, Lady Viks 0-6 5:42am / 3.2 6:29pm / -0.4 B Y N ED H ICKSON Siuslaw News Dec. 19 1:02am / 6.5 6:20am / 3.3 12:02pm / 7.8 7:03pm / -0.4 S IUSLAW N EWS 148 Maple St. Florence 541-997-3441 Over the weekend, Siuslaw girls and boys basketball teams were on the hard- wood for the three-day Les Schwab Eagle Booster Classic, which took place at Junction City and Harrisburg beginning last Thursday. For the boys, Thursday dealt them a 71-60 loss to Pleasant Hill to open the tournament. But it proved to be the only loss for Siuslaw, which went on to a 2- 1 record with wins over Harrisburg (43- 34) and Colton (55-45) in the final game of the tournament on Saturday. The wins improved the Viks to 4-2 overall heading into last night’s non- league OSAA Endowment Game at home against Cottage grove (after press deadlines). The Lady Viks, meanwhile, remain in the hunt for their first win of the sea- son after going 0-3 at the tournament with losses to Pleasant Hill (31-19), See VIKS 2B Siuslaw’s Ricky Huff pins third at Coast Classic B Y N ED H ICKSON Siuslaw News Improving to 12-3 for the season, Siuslaw senior 126-pounder and return- ing 4A state champion Richard Huff emerged from the two-day, multi-divi- sional Coast Classic wrestling invita- tional in North Bend with a 5-6 record and third place overall. Huff, seeded No. 2 in his weight division, began the tournament by win- ning three of his four matches before defeating No. 7-seed Jordan Petersen of Canby with a technical fall in the quar- terfinals. Advancing to the semi-finals bout, Huff lost to Crook County senior Pace Quire, seeded at No. 3, after get- ting pinned midway through the first round. The Viking senior then moved on to the consolation bracket, where he nabbed a 4-1 decision of North Medford’s Enrique Jaime, a sophomore seeded No. 6. Huff’s next opponent, Jack McEathron of Redmond, forfeited the third-place match due to an injury. This weekend, the Vikings will com- pete in the annual two-day Grants Pass Wrestling Invitational, Dec. 15-16. Steelhead, Chinook A few winter steelhead are starting to be caught in the lower river. Fall Chinook fishing has been slowing down, but a few fish are still available. Anglers are reminded that there is no wild coho salmon retention in 2017. NORTH COAST LAKES: Trout stocking is com- plete for the year. Cape Meares, Town, Coffenbury, Lost and Sunset lakes were stocked with “trophy” rain- bow trout in late September. Cedar Creek Hatchery has stocked over 160 sur- plus summer steelhead in Town Lake near Pacific City so far this fall. These fish get fairly active in the lake and offer a unique fishing experi- ence. 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-inch- es may be retained, and these fish will all be in that size range. MID COAST LAKES: Olalla Reservoir has been stocked with about 100 surplus summer steel- head 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 inch- es may be retained, and these fish will all be in that size range. Mid coast lakes been stocked with trout through- out the spring. Trout stock- ing has ended for the year but there still should be See FISHING 2B The Holidays are upon us with festive lights, brightly lit trees, parties, gift giving, christmas dinners and where all is merry and bright. But for some it is not all merry and bright. There are many people that do not have adequate shelter, food, or warm clothes. If you have a chance to give money, supplies or volunteer your time, there are many organizations that will help those in need. To name a few, there’s SOS, Food Share, the Soroptomist Christmas Baskets and Toys, Coats for kids, Helping Hands Coalition, and you can even give or ring the bell for the Salvation Army. I’m sure I missed organizations who help, but whatever way you choose to give, let’s put a little cheer in someone else’s life.
