S IUSLAW SWEEPS DISTRICT TITLES T he regular season for the Lady Vikings and Vikings bowling team came to an exciting finish over the weekend as they both competed at the Holiday Bowl in the District 4 champion- ship tournament. The Lady Vikings started things off on Saturday, bowling to defend their 2018 district tournament title. Siuslaw started out slow, but as the 20-game qualifying round went on, the Vikings improved their position to the second seed for the semifi- nals behind Cottage Grove, fol- lowed by North Bend in third place. During the qualifying round, district regular-season MVP Faith Coday suffered a thumb injury while releas- ing the ball, but after evaluation continued to bowl. In the semifinals, there were 10 baker-style games, where each team consists of five play- ers who bowl two frames each. After eight games, Siuslaw held the top seed but fell to second in the 10th game and took the No. 2 seed heading into the finals. The finals round consisted of the top three teams after the 10-game stepladder qualifier, with the third- seed team bowling against the second seed — and the winner facing the number one seed for the championship. Cottage Grove won the first match against the Lady Vikings, 140-153. With the chance to head into the cham- pionship, the Vikings out-bowled the Lions 155-135 in the second game to win the match with an overall pin count of 295-288. This set up the match against North Bend for the District 4 title. The Lady Vikings started out strong, this time winning the first game 152-109, taking a 43-pin lead heading into the final game. The deficit proved too much for the Lady Bulldogs as they fell 300-246 — with the Lady Vikings defending their district title. Tournament All-Stars included MVP Kari Kendrick of Cottage Grove. Runner-up went to Siuslaw’s Faith Coday, third place went to Regan Foxworthy of North Bend, fourth place was Jordan Nelson of North Bend, and fifth place went to Aileenah Thanhardt of Willamette.

That’s when Vikings freshman Braydon Thornton scored 5 of his 7 points in the quarter — including a 3-pointer — to go along with a layup from junior Caleb Hennessee to end the quarter on a 7-0 run that gave Siuslaw an 11-10 lead heading into the second period.

City: 65 In the opening minute on Glenn Butler court last Friday night between the Lady Vikings and Tigers, Junction City opened with a quick 2-point bucket and was immediately answered by Siuslaw sophomore post Gracie Freudenthal to tie the game at 2-2. But for the remaining 6 minutes, Siuslaw's only additional basket came from sophomore Brea Blankenship as Junction City’s full-court pressure created turnovers and a 20-4 lead by the end of the first period. A long 3-pointer from sophomore Savannah Morris and 2-point jumper from fellow soph- omore Lindsey Long were the only contribu- tions to the scoreboard for the Viks in the second period, leaving Junction City with a See V IK WRESTLERS SHOW WELL AT CG I NVITE B Y N ED H ICKSON Siuslaw News “We had a phenomenal Saturday,” Siuslaw wrestling coach Neil Wartnik said of his team’s perfor- mance during last weekend’s Cottage Grove Invitational, where the Siuslaw boys placed 14th out of 26 teams, and the girls’ team landed second among 24 teams.
