The win came even without the team’s biggest hammer, Makenzie York, who was out with a foot injury for the opener and was, instead, keeping stats and root- ing loudly from the bench.

OSAAtoday’s aim will be the produc- tion of high-quality and insightful con- tent covering the entire state, every classification and every activity. The content will be produced through a partnership with Jerry Ulmer, long- time prep writer at The Oregonian, and John Tawa, founder of PrepVolleyball. com and former managing editor at Student Sports Magazine. In addition to the content produced by OSAAtoday, they will also work with the association’s member schools to develop a network of student contribu- tors whose work could be highlighted on the OSAA website. See OSAA 3B Fishing can get a little tough during these hot summer days — water tem- peratures increase, aquatic weed growth accelerates and fish get lethargic. Here are some ideas to help you beat the dog days of fishing: • Fish early in the morn- ing when waters are cooler and fish are more active. • Look for fish in deeper water, where it’s cooler. • Focus on warmwater species like bass, crappie, bluegill and walleye. • Travel to higher eleva- tion lakes and streams where the water, and you, will be cooler. • Consider a trip to the coast where ocean and bay fishing can be good throughout the summer. MID COAST LAKES: Mid coast lakes stocking schedule for this year is posted online. Stocking of mid coast lakes began in February. Siltcoos Lagoon will not be stocked this year due to continued low dissolved oxygen. Trout scheduled to be released in Siltcoos Lagoon will be diverted to Cleawox Lake. In addition, fishing for warmwater species such as bass and other panfish should improve through June as water temperatures warm and these fish get more active. Ollala Reservoir, Mercer Lake, Siltcoos Lake and Tahkenitch Lake have warm water species avail- able.
