6 SIUSLAW NEWS YEAR IN REVIEW ❚ WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 3, 2018 ❚ 2017 SPORTS YEAR IN REVIEW Two more 3-pointers in the quarter by the Bruins left Siuslaw trailing by 6 heading into the second quarter, with Brookings extending its lead to 34-22 by the half. The Lady Viks got solid scoring and rebounding from sophomore Madison Reynolds and junior Marika White in the third quarter, giving Siuslaw more possessions, but the Lady Bruins’ ability to hit 3-pointers negated any momentum Siuslaw was able to build. Although freshman Mia Collins added some spark both offensively and defensively off the bench, the Lady Viks still found themselves down by 20 entering the fourth quarter before falling 53-70.

In North Bend, the varsity boys took second place to the host Bulldogs. In Florence, both the varisty girls and JV 2 boys team took first place.

But Brookings-Harbor answered quickly, draining a 3-pointer that would be the first of nine for the Bruins before the final buzzer. With four minutes left in the quarter, Siuslaw senior Destinie Tatum tied things at 8-8, which would be the closest the Lady Viking would get. ❘ 541-902-3523 ❘ NED HICKSON , EDITOR SPORTS @ THESIUSLAWNEWS .

That advanced Huff into the cham- pionship round against 6A state cham- pion Hunter Sparks of Roseburg. “Richard met his match there,” said Wartnik. “He took some risks that he couldn’t capitalize on.” Huff lost 10-0 for second place overall. The next day, he returned to the mats for the Greco-Style competition, a style Huff hadn’t competed in since he was 10 years old.

Packebush also won the long jump at 16 feet, 5 inches. Junior Tanner Wilson was also a multiple winner for the boys, taking first in the javelin at 129-4, and in the discus with a PR throw of 109-7.

For the girls, senior Josi Hays continued to dominate the throws with wins in the shot put (29-4.5), discus (85- 2), javelin (87-0) and the hammer throw with a PR at 73-4.

Water temps are great and fish should be hungry. So far this season, Town Lake near Pacific City has been stocked with nearly 200 surplus summer steel- head from Cedar Creek Hatchery. In addition, 66 early run winter steelhead were released there on Jan. 11. Nehalem Hatchery released 200 surplus winter steelhead into Vernonia pond, 57 into Lost Lake and 60 into Lake Lytle. These fish get fairly active in the lake and offer a unique fishing experience, especially when the rivers are blown out. 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 almost all be in that size range.

The Viking boys bowled 24 games in the qualifying round, finishing as the No. 3 seed among six teams that qualified for the semifinals. Meanwhile, the Lady Vikings emerged from the opening round as the No. 1 seed. From there, they were among the top three finishers to head into the finals. In the semifinals, the Viking boys improved to become the No. 2 seed along with Thurston (No. 3) and North Bend (No. 1). The top three girls teams in the finals with Siuslaw (No. 1) were Willamette (No. 2) and Cottage Grove (No. 3). In the boys finals, Siuslaw defeated Thurston 417 to 332 after two games, advancing Siuslaw into the championship game against North Bend, where the Bulldogs took the ditrict title, 406 to 362. Siuslaw’s second-place finish qualified the Viking boys for the state tournament. In the girls finals, the Lady Vikings got a bye in the first match thanks to being seeded at No. 1. In the championship round, Willamette edged Siuslaw by just 4 pins, 290 to 286, for the district title. Still, the Lady Viks’ second-place finish qualified them for state com- petition.

COM Siuslaw News It’s that time of year again, when seal pups begin appearing on beaches along the Oregon coast and beachgo- ers are asked to stifle their desire to assist these animals in some way, and instead give them space. For those familiar with the cuteness of a newborn pup, the advice can be hard to swallow. But it’s for the best — for people and wildlife alike. Every spring, harbor seals give birth to pups on secluded beaches or reefs up and down the Pacific coast. The pups are born ready to swim but cannot tread water for long; they need ample time on shore to rest and stay warm, and can remain there for days while their mothers forage at sea. Concerned observers often report “abandoned” seal pups on the beach, not realizing that the mother might be foraging nearby, or swimming just offshore to maintain distance from curious humans and their dogs. “This is a perennial springtime issue for us all,” said Jim Rice, Stranding Coordinator at the Oregon Marine Mammal Stranding Network. “It’s helpful to remind people that it’s normal for pups to come ashore to rest, that their mothers often leave them unattended while they forage for food, and that interfering with this natural process is not only illegal but will likely be very detrimental to the pup.” In other words, humans approach- ing or otherwise trying to “help” these unattended pups may inadvertently cause them harm, as the presence of people may deter mother seals from coming ashore to nurse. Seal pups are vulnerable and they See PUPS 3B ❘ JUNE 3, 2017 ❘ SECTION B ATHLETES OF THE YEAR On the Bite A WEEKLY FISHING REPORT FOR THE LOCAL REGION www.dfw.state.or.us/RR S PORTS Calendar S AILORS NED HICKSON , SPORTS EDITOR 2017 MID COAST LAKES: Most of the North Coast lakes were stocked with trout recently.

Richard Huff, a junior seeded at No. 1 in the state 4A’s 113-pound bracket, along with seniors Kainan Lane (285 lbs.) and Nick Steinman (170 lbs.), and sophomore Riley Jennings (152 lbs.) will have the chance to compete for a state title in each of their weight divisions. Members of the group earned state qualification during last weekend’s Special District 3 wrestling tournament at South Umpqua High School, where the top five finishers in each weight class advanced to state. Huff had one of his closest matches of the season during the champi- onship round, defeating Marshfield’s Frankie Harlow with a narrow 6-5 decision for the district title. The junior pinned his first two opponents, Jonah Kugler of Mazama and Oscar Baza of Henley, in 25 seconds and 40 seconds, respectively. At 285 pounds, Lane defeated Jaret Remington of South Umpqua by pin in 1:30 to open the meet, then fell to Cameron Hankins of Mazama, 5-2. Lane then went on to win his next two matches, including a pin over Ishmael DeLaTorre of Phoenix (3:20) in the match for third and fourth place. Steinman, wrestling at 170 lbs., lost his first match by pin, then came back to win his next three matches, including against Jon Zebadua of Brookings-Harbor, with a pin in 2:13. In the match for third and fourth place, Steinman was pinned by Alonzo Nalls of Brookings-Harbor in 58 seconds. At 152 pounds, Jennings won his opener against Hidden Valley’s Tommy Mintey, 9-8, but lost his second match. He went on to pin Joey Wilson of Phoenix (4:34) before losing a slim 5-4 decision in the battle for third and fourth place in a close rematch with Mintey. Viking freshman Matthew Horrillo (285 lbs.) was eliminated during consolation on Saturday, while seniors Eyza Abbas Carrasco (120 lbs.), Joaquin Cervantes (138 lbs.) and jesus Sierra (145 lbs.) were each elimi- nated during Friday’s round of competition.

Huff improved to 19-3 for the season after going undefeated at 3-0, pinning his way past Jaeson Jones of Sutherlin, Ezra Haddy of Junction City and Landen Timeus of Gold Beach. S IUSLAW SPLITS WITH On Friday, Mapleton hosted visiting Falls City in a non-league matchup that saw what was arguably one of the best performances of the season from both Sailor teams. In the girls game, the Lady Sailors held the Mountaineers to just 27 points, finishing the game with just four players and holding Falls City in a tie until the final minute. “I was proud of the girls because they never quit, even with only four players on the floor,” said Mapleton coach Mike Murray, whose team fell, 27-21. “Even though we lost on the scoreboard, it was a moral victory.” Sophomore Haley Wells led with 8 points. Earlier in the week, the Lady Sailors lost to Lowell and Triangle Lake, but had season-high scoring, including 16 points from Wells against Lowell and 13 points from her against the Lakers. Second Team honorees from Siuslaw Taryn Larson and Maxine Jones. Abby Coday was named First Team as well as the League MVP.
