SIUSLAW NEWS | SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 2018 | 3B Little from 1B negatively. Sitting on the bench is not the place any competitive ath- lete wants to sit. Sometimes players are just not ready for playing time. Th is is determined by coach- es during practices. When a player is on the bench they can increase their chances for playing time by watching and learn-ing from the person in their position. NEW fall hours: 3-6 pm Besides gaining knowledge by watching and listening I can also show positive support for my team. Depending on your character and integrity if you are a team player you will want success for your team. Th is can be demonstrated by vocal support of good plays made by team mem-bers. You should congratulate the person playing your desired position when appropriate. You will work hard in prac- tice to help the starters get better. Th ese actions will show your coach you are trying to improve the team and yourself as well. Th e new Warrenton High School basketball coach benched me on several occa- sions. Up until his hiring, my senior season, the only time I saw bench time was when I was Sailors Every Tuesday until from 1B the biggest lead held by the Sailors at 18-13. From there, errors late in the set by Mapleton allowed Siletz to close the gap to 21-23. in foul trouble. Coach Cole insisted the ball handler on a 3-on-2 break stop at the foul line. Aft er several trips to the bench for failing to stop I learned he was serious. We did score more easy bas- kets when I began stopping. I also saw less bench time by so stopping. Aft er playing quarterback, linebacker, punter and kicker for six years of football at War- renton I seldom sat down. At Pacifi c University few players played both sides of the ball. My Freshman year I sat during defense. My sophomore year I was moved to defense and was add- ed to most special teams. Bench time greatly reduced as a result. Not all players are content to be on the bench. Th ey some- times distract from team play; they may secretly hope for the person ahead of them to make mistakes; they will tell friends and family they are better than the person ahead of them; they sincerely believe of their skill and feel cheated. Th is attitude can be destruc- tive. My daughter, Miranda, was given a choice of playing an- other year of JV volleyball or be a re-serve on the varsity. Her playing time would be very limited as the person ahead of her was her sister, an all-league returning setter. She chose being a reserve setter and set about learning and working hard to be ready for her junior season. Her re- ward was all-league setter her junior and senior seasons. Some very famous NFL bench sitters include Steve Young and Aaron Rodgers. Young watched for years while Joe Montana took the San Francisco 49ers to two super bowls. When he got his chance he also took San Francisco to two super bowls. Rodgers replaced Brett Favre of the Green Bay Packers and just recently became the high- est paid NFL player in history. I am quite sure neither of these men pouted or complained from the bench but learned and made good. If your son or daughter is a reserve this year for the Vikings or the Sailors, make sure they con-tribute positively to the team. It will demonstrate character and integrity. An error by the Lady Warriors gave the advantage to Mapleton and brought the set to match-point. From the service line, Michael delivered a thunder- ous ace for the final score, and match win, 25-21. Thursday, Mapleton was back on its home court to host McKenzie in what became a three-game sweep for the Eagles, 25-4, 25-14, 25-14. Today, the Lady Sailors will compete in the Glendale Tournament before traveling to Crow on Tuesday to contin- ue the Mountain West League season. First serve against the Cougars is set for 6 p.m. at Crow High School. caught but overall the fishing has been slow Concentrate your efforts low in the estuary and close to the ocean to catch the fish moving in and out on the tides. Expect numbers of fall Chinook entering the bays and estuaries to increase later in the month and into September. Best techniques include trolling herring/spin- ners and bobber fishing with bait. Sea-run cutthroat will begin entering the lower river later this month and into the fall. These fish are very aggressive, respond well to flies and lures, and can be up to 20-inches long. SALMON RIVER: Cutthroat trout, fall Chinook Fall Chinook fishing on the Salmon river/bay opened Aug. 1, expect numbers of fall Chinook entering the bays and estuaries to increase later in the month and into September. Best techniques include trolling herring/spin- ners and bobber fishing with bait. SILETZ RIVER: Steelhead, cutthroat trout, fall Chinook Fall Chinook fishing on the Siletz river/bay opened Aug. 1, a few fish are being caught but it has been slow. Expect num- bers of fall Chinook entering the bays and estuaries to increase later in the month and into September. Best tech- niques include trolling her- ring/spinners and bobber fish- ing with bait. • Note: Salmon fishing in the Siletz river is closed above the marker sign approximately 1,200 feet above Ojalla bridge until Oct. 7. Summer steelhead are in the river. Fishing has begun to slow down as stream flows decrease and water tempera- tures increase in the gorge. Early mornings or late eve- nings provide the best oppor- tunity to catch these fish. The fishing will improve when we get some cooler weather or a little bit of rain to “stir” things up a bit. Casting spinners, drifting bait or using a bobber and jig can be effective. Sea-run cutthroat will begin entering the lower river later this month and into the fall.
