Joining Huff will be freshmen Brady Libby, who placed second at 106 lbs., and Elijah LaCosse, who earned a trip to state with a fourth-place finish at 120 lbs. “It was a weekend of spirited per- formances,” said Siuslaw wrestling coach Neil Wartnik. Huf, the returning 113-lb. state champion, pinned a return trip to state after winning his quarterfinals match against Ty Cross of Douglas by techni- cal fall, 16-1, then pinning Colton West of Marshfield during the semifinals in just 1:18. Huff then won the first tie- breaker match over Frankie Harlow of Marshfield, 3-2, for the district title.

Seniors for the Lady Vikings includ- ed Carreina Greenburg, Marika White and Lexi Curtis; senior boys included Dylan McGallian, Jake Hickson, Jared Brandt, John Rollin, Kyle King and Trent Reavis. In the girls game, junior Madison Reynolds scored a team-high 8 points to go with 5 rebounds and 2 steals against Douglas. Siuslaw also got scor- ing from three of its freshmen, Lindsey Long (6), Brea Blankenship (5) and Gracie Freudenthal (5). Defensively, junior Alyssa Richards led with 6 rebounds. In spite of Siuslaw’s effort, the Lady Trojans emerged with a 42-29 win. See This time of year, water conditions for winter steel- head fishing can vacillate between too low and clear, and too high and muddy. Successful anglers will: 1) adjust their gear and tackle for current condi- tions, and/or 2) be ready to hit the water when water condi- tions improve — usually once water levels start to drop after a good rain. Check out the zone reports for the best weekend possi- bilities. SIUSLAW RIVER: 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. NORTH COAST LAKES: Trout stocking is com- plete for the year. Cape Meares, Town, Coffenbury, Lost and Sunset lakes were stocked with “trophy” SIUSLAW 3B See FISHING 4B 6252 SKUNK HOLLOW RD Funky, cool, 1889 2-story home in Skunk Hollow.
