2B | SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 2018 | SIUSLAW NEWS Siuslaw from 1B girls for not backing down,” said Siuslaw coach Jon Hornung. “We were able to hang with them in the beginning of the sets, but struggled as they put pressure on us near the end of each set, which showed we still have some things to work on.” But given the fact that the Lady Viks were able to score 20 points in the first set — and held Little from 1B World Series game. Some football teams award stickers for highlight plays during games. In 1983, an assis- tant coach suggested to Siuslaw Hall of Fame football Coach Len Lutero if he would mind if stick- ers were awarded. As I recall, his response was to allow it only if it did not involve his time. As it turned out, during game fi lm review, it wasn’t long before players were looking more for plays to get stickers for than they were for learning from their mistakes on fi lm. Needless to say, Coach Lute- ro put a quick end to the sticker concept. Eli Manning of the New York Giants demonstrated to the Gi- ants — and to the entire football community — the team concept. Last year, as the Giants were con- templating replacing Manning with another quarterback, they off ered him a chance to start the Fishing from 1B Chinook Fall Chinook fishing on the Alsea river/bay opened Aug. 1, a few fish are being caught but Mapleton from 1B 2-2 and force a fi ft h set. Mapleton’s momentum continued, holding the Lady Falcons to their lowest-scor- the lead a few times — against what the Oregon School Activities Association (OSAA) ranks as the best team in the state, Hornung said it was an indicator of the the Lady Viks’ potential in the weeks ahead. In addition to Siuslaw’s offen- sive firepower from power hit- ters like York, who had 15 kills and served up 5 aces, and junior Mia Collins, who had 7 kills and a pair of aces, it was defensive work that Hornung saw as a key factor in his team’s ability to compete against the Lady Lions. “Hayden [Muller] and Lindsey [Long] anchored the backrow,” said Hornung. Muller dug up 12 attempted kills from Cottage Grove, and Long had 6 digs. York claimed 11 digs for Siuslaw. “And Delaney [Foglio] was the unsung hero at the net,” Hornung said of the sophomore blocker. “She might not get huge kills, but she keeps us in plays by always being in a position to make game to keep his consecutive starts record streak alive. He responded to the Giants organization that, if they wanted to replace him, then do so. But he would not start merely for indi- vidual recognition. On another occasion in 1997- 98, senior Nykesha Sales of the U Conn women’s basketball team suff ered a season-ending knee injury. She was one point shy of the team record. Th e U Conn coach, with an agreement from the Villanova coach, agreed to let Nykesha — on crutches — score a basket to set the record. Villanova then made a basket and the game continued from a 2-2 start. Was this for a team or individual? If you are as amazed by the exorbitant salaries of profession- al athletes just as I am, we only need to look at the stickers on the helmets. Professional athletes use money as a sticker. If they have stats comparable to players in their position making more money, then they want more. Here is a number to think about. Khalil Mack signed a con- tract to play linebacker for the Chicago Bears. It was $141 mil- lion for six years — that’s $23.4 million a year or $1,469,000 a game. If he averages 11 tackles a game, he is paid $133,000 a tack- le. Just think: he makes more money in one game than some make in an entire lifetime. Heck, he makes more in one tackle than most people make in a year. What a great “team player” he is. I bet teammates and op- ponents are rubbing their hands together waiting for their next contract negotiations. Th e NBA, MLB, NHL and soccer are just as rich. Some positions on a team are in the spotlight more than other positions. But if you ask any of the truly great individual team stars, they will certainly mention the help they got from team- mates. 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 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. ing set of the match and claiming the win, 15-9. Complete results were un- available at press time. Today, Mapleton will compete in the Reedsport Vol- leyball Invitational beginning at 4 p.m. Next week, the Lady Sailors will continue their road schedule, playing at Triangle Lake Tuesday and Mohawk on Th ursday. Both matches begin at 6 p.m. plays.” Tuesday, Siuslaw (4-2) will be on the road in Eugene to take on Marist, currently the only team in the Sky-Em without a winning record (1-5). While Hornung feels his team has a good chance to pick up a win before hosting No. 3-ranked Marshfield next Thursday, he was cautious not to overlook a Spartan team that has spent its non-league play competing pri- marily against top-10 teams. “I don’t think Marist’s record really reflects how good they are,” said Horning, who predict- ed Marist would take things up a notch once the league season began. In fact, the Spartans opened their Sky-Em play Thursday night by sweeping Elmira in three sets. One thing the Lady Viks are likely to have that they didn't on Thursday night was junior Aylenne Vazquez, who took a frightening tumble the previous week and was rushed to the hos- pital. Vazquez was at Thursday night’s game, cheering team members on from the bench. “Aylenne really wanted to play [Thursday] but I told her to wait until she’s 100 percent. Hopefully she’ll be back next week.” Tuesday's game at Marist begins at 6:30 p.m., with the first serve for Thursday's home game against Marshfield (10-0, 1-0) going up at 6:30 p.m. n o m l a S w a l s u i Sept. 22nd, 5-9pm S e t a r b Cele Florence Events Center Come Celebrate Siuslaw Salmon with us beautiful Florence, Oregon Th e event will be kicking off at 5:00 pm with live music, programming will begin at 5:30 wine tasting and dinner will follow shortly aft er.
