As of Wednesday, that time had come. Fourteen players — 12 boys and two girls — took the field for the first time to represent Siuslaw on the soccer pitch as they faced Sutherlin’s boys junior varsity team. Though the crowd was relatively small, Siuslaw co-coach Nyra Campbell said, “The team was excited to play and the nerves showed a bit in the first half.” It took a full 31 minutes of play before the first goal was scored, when the Bulldogs were able to get past Siuslaw’s defense and launch a kick into the far post corner along the ground. “The team settled into the game after that and played the way we know they can,” said co-coach Londi Tomaro. Strong defense at both ends of the field continued for a good portion of the second half, creating a virtual stale- mate until late in the match when senior forward Zoe Leech lined up for See By Ned Hickson Siuslaw News Marist d Siuslaw: 25-27, 25-19, 25-15, 25-27, 15-7 Marshfield d Siuslaw: 25-23, 25-11, 26-24 Entrance Siuslaw River High Tide Low Tide Sept. 22 11:40am / 6.2 11:21pm / 6.7 5:20am / 0.4 5:32pm / 1.9 By Lloyd Little Retired teacher, coach and game offi cial With more than55 years as an athlete, coach, parent and spectator, Lloyd Little has gained some insights and perspectives regarding ath- letics.

Our son Brandon was a quar- ter-back for the Siuslaw High School varsity foot- ball team As I sat and watched Brandon play, it suddenly occurred to me about the lack of attention I gave to other players on the team. When Brandon was on the fi eld I watched him. I turned to my wife and said, “Now I get it.” As a coach of my four athletes, on and off in their early years, I could not focus on my own chil- dren. I was responsible for all the players on the team and had to watch all of them. Now I could watch my son just like the parents, who were concerned primarily about their own athlete. When I played football at Warrenton High School, my parents went to all the home games. I learned from family friends the only thing that mattered to my mom was if my brother and I got up from the piles aft er every play. My Dad, however, was more interested in how my brother Bert and I played the game. When we came home aft er games, he would point out some areas where we might improve. I suppose it kept us grounded, but we later See LITTLE 2B By Ned Hickson Siuslaw News S PORTS Sept. 25 12:40am / 6.9 6:59am / 0.5 1:08pm / 7.0 7:20pm / 0.8 Sept. 26 1:20am / 6.9 1:37pm / 7.2 7:30am /0.8 7:57pm / 0.4 Sept. 27 2:00am / 6.7 2:07pm / 7.3 8:02am / 1.1 8:36pm / 0.2 Sept. 28 2:44am / 6.5 2:39pm / 7.4 8:36am / 1.5 9:19pm / 0.1 S IUSLAW N EWS 148 Maple St. Florence 541-997-3441 T.
