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.

the Junction City Tigers in a Sky-Em League
matchup last Friday night at Glenn Butler

even 2-2 league rec-ord while the Vikings
were looking for their first league win.

with 1:47 left in the first quarter. 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.
With a close first quarter, the Tigers struck
back, scoring 17 points led by junior Estifanos
Gerdes and senior Cameron Gibson with 4
points each. Meanwhile, the Tigers were able
to hold Siuslaw to just 9 points in the quarter,

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

“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.
The Lady Vikings’ four-member
team was narrowly edged out of first
place by Cottage Grove’s 24-member
team.
Freshmen Bailey Overton (115
lbs.) and Hayden Muller (135 lbs.)
each won titles on Saturday, with
junior Adriana Edwards (135 lbs.)
placing second and junior Kinga
Bugajska (145 lbs.) finishing third
overall.
Muller had three wins on the day,
defeating McKenzie Haden of
Ashland (3:17), Barbara Caudillo of
North Eugene (1:49) and teammate
Edwards (2:57). Overtone also had
three wins, all within the second
round or sooner — including a win
