SIUSLAW RIVER: Cutthroat trout, fall Chinook Fall Chinook fishing on the Siuslaw river/bay opened Aug. 1, a few fish are being caught low in the system but overall fishing has been slow. Expect num- bers of fall Chinook enter- ing the bays and estuaries to increase later in the month and into September. Best techniques include trolling herring/spinners 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. long.

So how are they not the “I” in team? Most players interviewed will give credit for their success to team- mates. Yet when it comes time for a headline, we are more likely to see (QB) fails to win super bowl. You can fi ll in any quarterback of your choosing.

In the back row, sophomore Lindsey Long and freshman Hayden Muller combined for 29 digs to keep the Lady Bulldogs’ offense from gaining any momentum. That same night, No. 1-ranked Cottage Grove completed its own three-game sweep, of Hidden Valley, improving to 7-1 overall heading into the Sky-Em League opener two nights later at Siuslaw. Again, it was a three-game sweep, but not for the Lady Vikings. “The hitters that Cottage Grove had were better and stronger than any- thing we’d seen up to that point in the season and I was really proud of the See SIUSLAW 2B Mapleton falls to Crow, battles for win at Oak Hill By Ned Hickson S IUSLAW N EWS LITTLE 2B Crow d Mapleton: 25-12, 25-13, 25-19 Mapleton d Oak Hill: 21-25, 25-18, 21-25, 25-13, 15-9 The Lady Sailors began a long, two-week road run Tuesday at Crow High School, where the Cougars (4-1, 6-4) handed Mapleton (2-4, 4-6) a quick three- game sweep, 25-12, 25-13, 25-19. But Thursday, Mapleton rallied for a hard-fought win at Oak Hill that underscored the team’s ability to shake off past defeat and keep moving forward toward success.
