After coming close several times, the
Lady Sailors basketball team picked up their
first league win at Eddville Tuesday night,
dominating the Lady Eagles at both ends of
the court. Mapleton claimed 22 steals and
scored 24 rebounds. Meanwhile, they dou-
bled their shooting attempts with 59 looks
that paid off in 46 points — and a 15-point
victory margin.
Five-foot-nine-freshman post Evangeli-
na Spradling had 4 blocks and 6 boards for
Mapleton, and went 6-for-13 from the foul
line.
Freshman Jahala Blake, a 5-foot-7 post,
grabbed 4 steals to go with 3 rebounds that
helped secure the Mountain West League
win, 40-25.
In the boys’ match-up, 6-foot-2 sopho-
more forward JJ Neece posted 24 points,
along with 9 points from 6-foot-3 freshman
forward AJ Moso.
Mapleton kept things close throughout
the game until the final three minutes,
when Neece, along with brother Nate, fould
out — leaving just four Mapleton players on
the hardwood to finish the game.
Eddyville was able to slip ahead in the
closing minutes for a slim 46-39 win.
Thursday, the Lady Sailors were at home
to host Triangle Lake, with the Lakers (4-4,
9-9) taking the win, 48-18. In the previous
match-up between the two teams, Triangle
Lake won 48-11.
This Tuesday, Mapleton will host Mo-
hawk as the the Mountain West enters the
final stretch of the league season.
Boys will tip off at 5:30 p.m., followed by
the girls’ game at 7 p.m.

Though Tuesday night's wres-

scheduled to be a three-way
dual, only the Boomers of Toledo
showed, making for a quick eve-
ning — hastened by even quick-
er work on the mats by the
Vikings.
Freshman Brady Libby, soph-
omore Hector Garcia and junior
Matthew Horrillo each nabbed
pins against their opponents, at
125 pounds, 160 pounds and 285

All three wrestlers got their
wins in the second round. Garcia
took Jacoby Simmons to the mat
40 seconds into the second
round after falling behind 2-3.
At 285 pounds and after a
scoreless opening round,
Horrillo nabbed the pin in 2:41

Th e motto of Special
Olympic athletes is: “Let
me win. But if I cannot
win, let me be brave in the
attempt.” Maybe the rest of
the sporting world could
learn something from this
motto
Once again, I use the
movie “Remember the
Titans” as an example of
lessons we can learn from
being athletes.
During halft ime of the
fi lm’s climactic champion-
ship game, Coach Boone
tells his players they have
done all they could and,
Siuslaw boys: 40
Marist boys: 61
Both Siuslaw teams were on the road at
Marist Tuesday night for the second game of
the Sky-Em League season.
In the girls’ match-up, the No-7 ranked
Spartans were caught off guard by Siuslaw,
which took and maintained the lead from
start to finish, including an 8-point lead to
start the fourth quarter, 31-23.
Marist (2-0, 10-5) rallied hard, scoring 17
points in the quarter. Despite that effort, Siu-
slaw still held a 3-point, 40-37 advantage with
6 seconds remaining in regulation.
Then, at the 3-second mark, the Spartans
drained a 3-pointer to tie the game at 40-40
and send things into overtime.
Marist managed to outscore Siuslaw 11-5 in
OT, nudging out the Vikings for a 51-45 win.
Sophomore Lindsey Long led Siuslaw with
16 points — 11 in clutch shooting from the
foul line. Sophomore Gracie Freudenthal
scored 11 points and was a force defensively.
Senior Alyssa Richards nabbed 10 points for
Siuslaw.
In the boys’ game, the Vikings kept things
close throughout most of the first half, hold-
ing Marist to just 17 points with just 5 minutes
remaining before the break for a 17-17 tie.
But the Spartans put together a 16-4 run
heading into halftime to take a 33-21 lead.
Siuslaw opened the third period with a
long 3-pointer from senior Dylan Wynn to
close the scoring gap to 9 points, but it was all
Marist from there, with 14 Spartans eventual-
ly scoring in the game for a 68-40 win.
Senior Nick Swift and freshman Braydon
Thornton led scoring for the Viks with 9
points apiece.
Last night, Siuslaw was on the road at
Marshfield (after press deadlines) to take on
the Pirates.
Tuesday, the Viks will travel to Elmira to
face the Falcons.
The boys’ game tips off at 5:45 p.m., fol-
lowed by the girls at 7:15 p.m.
Siuslaw’s next home game is Friday, when
the the Vikings host Junction City.
