Siuslaw from 1B In the boys tournament 11 teams competed for the district championship on Sunday. Siuslaw was looking to get back to the state championship after missing out last year. “With a lot of new faces on both teams it was a chal- lenge all season for the coaches to mold the teams together,” said Siuslaw High School bowling coordinator Dusty Anderson. In the 20-game qualifiers, the Vikings kept a steady pace by bowling very consis- tently throughout, accord- ing to Anderson. With 11 Viks from 1B taking a 27-20 lead into half- time. The Tigers’ momentum carried into the second half, scoring a game-high 18 points in the third period to take a double-digit lead, Wrestling from 1B over Linda Cline of Elmira in just 56 seconds. All four Lady Viks earned the right to compete for state berths during the first Oregon school Activities Association (OSAA) girls state wrestling tournament at Thurston High School in Springfield this Friday and Lady Viks from 1B 41-9 lead by halftime. Though Siuslaw went on to have its most productive periods in the second half, with 8 points in the third period and 10 in the fourth, it wasn't enough to overtake teams, the field was cut to the top six teams for the 10-game semifinals. After 20 games, the Vikings were the fourth seed behind leader Willamette, followed by North Bend, Sheldon, fifth-place Marshfield and sixth-place Cottage Grove. The Sheldon Irish started out bowling two games with a score of 245 to open the semifinals. But the Vikings kept a steady pace as they did in qualifying, slowly moving up the standings in hopes of make the top three teams that qualify for the finals. After the 10-game seed- ing round, Siuslaw managed to make the top three, fin- ishing as the No. 2 seed heading into the semifinals behind rival North Bend, and third-place Marshfield. The Vikings faced Marshfield in a two-game series in the opening match of the championship round. In a back and forth game, Siuslaw out-paced Marshfield with a narrow 182-181 win. The second game was just as much of a nail biter, with Siuslaw edg- ing out the Pirates by a sin- gle pin, 170-169. With Siuslaw winning the series against Marshfield, the Viks moved on to bowl in the championship match against North Bend. Siuslaw got off to a strong start by winning the first game difin- itively, 213-130. Facing a huge deficit going into the final game, North Bend bat- tled back, winning the sec- ond game, 179-150. However, the 29-point win wasn’t enough to over- take Siuslaw’s 363-308 total pin count as the Vikings claimed the District 4 title to complete a Siuslaw sweep. Siuslaw’s Clay Kramer was named the Tournament All-Stars MVP. The Oregon State bowling championship will take place at AMF Firebird Lanes in Salem, Feb. 22-24. 31-45, to start the final quar- ter. Siuslaw slowed the Tigers’ offense in the fourth period and held Junction City to just 9 points. Unfortunately, the Viks only managed to put up eight points of their own with shooting from freshman Brody Terry and sophomore Elijah Blankenship with 2 points each, and 4 points from Hennessee. However, the collective effort wasn’t enough to over- come the deficit as the Tigers went on to secure the win, 39-54. Thornton led Siuslaw with 13 points. Sophomore Jacob Foskett and Hennessee had 6 points each. The Vikings open the sec- ond half of the Sky-Em sea- son this Friday, on the road at Cottage Grove. Tip-off is at 7:15 p.m., following the girls’ game, which tips off at 5:45 p.m. Saturday. The top two finishers in each weight division will move on to the state tourna- ment in Portland Feb. 22-23. "The girls performance was definitely the highlight of the day," said Wartnik, whose boys' team also had standout performances at Cottage Grove, including four finishes among the top five. Junior 220-p ounder Matthew Horrillo went 3-0 Saturday and 6-1 overall to place third in his bracket. Among Horrillo’s wins was a rematch with Noah Knight of Douglas, who defeated Horrillo 7-2 in the opening match of the tour-nament on Friday. Horrillo went on to win his next six matches, includ- ing his re-match with Knight, 6-1 to take third place. At 120 lbs., sophomore Brady Libby placed fourth, fellow sophomore Ryan Jennings earned fourth place at 152 lbs., and senior Riley Jennings finished the 170-lb. bracket in fifth place. Tomorrow night, Siuslaw will host a senior dual with South Umpqua, beginning at 6 p.m. the Tigers, who went on to win, 65-27.
