The win over the Spartans bumped them from No. 22 to No. 21 in the rankings, and one sport away from the top 20 — and a spot in the playoffs. The team's determination was evi- dent in its play against No. 9-ranked Marshfield last Tuesday. Less than a month earlier, the Pirates had swept the Siuslaw (25-23, 25-11, 26-24). Tuesday, Siuslaw dug deep, coming back from losing the first two sets, 25-20, 25-21, to even the match by winning the next two sets, 25-21, 25-21 and force a fifth set. Siuslaw senior Makenzie York ham- mered away, eventually accounting for 18 kills, 16 digs, 4 blocks and a trio of See SIUSLAW 3B Siuslaw soccer team wraps up debut season T IDE T ABLE Siuslaw junior goalkeeper Caleb Hennessee leaps to protect the goal. Taft d Siuslaw: 2-0 Waldport d Siuslaw: 3-1 In 1989 Jon Th ompson became the fi rst play by play announcer for a Siu- slaw High School football game. Since that fi rst sea- son, KCST has maintained a steady team of commen- tators for the Vikings and an occasional Mapleton Sailor football game. Some of the short-time color commentators in- cluded Casey Farm, Ethan Dougherty, Karl Jennings (Mapleton games), Jer- ry Affi nito, Wayne Sharp, Lance Haberly and myself. Th e play-by-play voices usually lasted much longer. Following Jon was Mike Hill behind the mic, but by far the longest-running “Voice of the Vikings” be- longs to Bob Sneddon, now in his 13th season.

Tomaro said Taft was able to move the ball well, but there were flashes of promise offensively by Siuslaw and strong defense by the team's back line.

Though the team went 0-4-1 in its first season, its final week showed its competitiveness in back-to-back matches between Wednesday and Thursday on the road at Taft High School and Waldort High School, respectively.

The welcome victory came two nights after the Sailors fell to third-place Mohawk and sixth-place Triangle Lake in Mountain West League play during the Sailors' Senior Recognition Night of Heather McMaster-Wills, Erin Michael and Brittany Wilson. Thursday, the Sailors were on the road for their final game of the season, taking on Eddyville for a re-match from earlier in the season, when the Sailors swept the Eagles in three sets. This time, the Eagles put up a bigger fight, with Mapleton winning the first set 25-18, then losing to Eddyville 21-25 in game two to even the match at 1-1.

MID COAST LAKES: Stocking of mid coast lakes stopped in early June, but fishing for warmwater spe- cies can still be good in several area lakes, includ- ing Ollala Reservoir, Mercer Lake, Siltcoos Lake and Tahkenitch Lake. SIUSLAW RIVER: Cutthroat trout, fall Chinook Fall Chinook fishing on the Siuslaw river/bay remains open. 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 October. 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. See FISHING 2B
