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

errors late in the set by

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.
