2B | WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 21, 2019 | SIUSLAW NEWS Cheer from 1B time?’ So, I’m back in the game. I’ve missed cheering at games.” Sophomore Kelly Phillips has been doing cheer since first grade. “I love stunting and dancing,” she said. “I did dance and I love to dance, but cheer is like a whole bunch of stuff together.” Phillips is a part of the “base,” which helps catch the flyers after they’re tossed in the air. It’s a big responsibility. “You’ve got to catch a flyer, that’s for sure,” she Jamboree from 1B the jamboree will be our big showcase for parents and the community to see our team in action. “I realize people will be disappointed, but I hope they understand.” Though this weekend’s traditional kick-off to the football season will be de- layed, fans will get plenty of action on Aug. 30, when the Viks mix it up with Fishing from 1B Warmwater fishing has been good on Siltcoos and Tahkenitch lakes as well as many other lakes in the Florence area. Water tem- peratures are warm and fish can be found through- out the lake in a variety of habitats. Warmwater fish- ing will continue to be good through the summer and into the fall. Siltcoos also gets stocked rainbow trout, check the stocking sched- ule for numbers and dates of stockings. SIUSLAW RIVER: Cutthroat trout Open to trout fishing. Check the regulations for open areas and gear restrictions. WILSON RIVER: Steelhead, cutthroat trout Summer steelhead are available throughout the system, but reports are that fishing has been slow and it appears to be a below average run. These fish can be challenging to catch, but are great fight- ers and good table fair for those who are successful. The Wilson offers plen- ty of bank access, especial- ly on the upper river. The river is low and clear, so fishing light tackle and early starts are keys to suc- cess in this fishery. Bobber fishing with jigs/bait/ beads, casting lures, and drift fishing are great tech- niques to catch a summer steelhead. Trout fishing should be fair to good throughout the river. This time of year there can be some good opportunity for sea-run cutthroat in the upper tidewater and lower River. These are aggressive fish and fun fighters on light gear. Spring Chinook season closed on July 31. Fall Chinook salmon season legally opened on Aug. 1, but it will be quite some time before we would expect to see any in the river. Anglers are reminded that this year’s bag limit for wild Chinook is 1 per day and 5 per year from the North coast aggregate (Necanicum River to Salmon River). COOS RIVER BASIN: Trout, marine perch spe- cies, salmon Fishing for rockfish inside the bay has been good near the submerged said. “When she’s coming down, she can do some- thing crazy and kick you in the face. That has hap- pened before. If I can see that she’s going to do that, then I can stop her from it. If you don’t catch them, they can get injured. It’s put on you to catch them. It’s a really dangerous sport. But it’s fun.” Freshman Jullian Norton “freaked out” when she heard she was going to be a base. “I thought I was going to hurt someone,” she said. “Sometimes I flip and I accidentally drop Ari, but I try to catch her at the same time. I have muscles in my wrist that I never used before, so it hurts a whole bunch when I lift.” Norton did some cheer back in elementary school but dropped it to try differ- ent things. She got back into it when she got into high school. “I think it’s a little funny when I get frustrated with some of the cheers. Because when Brooke calls it, and I don’t know it, I get so lost. I’m getting there. At seven o’clock at night, I’m practicing at home.” Sophomore Destini Teale got involved with the team because of her back- ground in gymnastics. “I wanted to be flexible. I wanted to walk outside and do flips and things,” she said. “I like doing a lot of cartwheels, flipping and learning about it. In ele- mentary school, me and my friends would go to the field and just do cart- wheels.” Teale had dreams of going to UCLA to become a gymnast, “but that’s not going to happen. I started too late — I was 13.” She started playing bas- ketball in eighth grade, which got in the way of gymnastics, so she dropped the dream. “It was too three other teams during a full day of games. In addition, spectators can also purchase Lute- ro Burgers and Dodson Dogs, as well as other concession items, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Burgers will be $5 and hot dogs will be $3.

Tickets can be pur- chased at the admission booth (6 tickets for $5 or 1 ticket for $2). Siuslaw’s first home game will be Friday, Sept. 20, against Newport, be- ginning at 7 p.m. rock piles. Fishing is typi- cally best near slacktide. A jig with a twister tail can be a great bait for catching rockfish. Temporary fall Chinook salmon regula- tions started Aug. 1. much,” she said. But when she was asked to join the team by new cheerleading coach Teri Straley, she wanted in. “It’s fun because the people make it fun,” Teale said. Sophomore Brooke Olson agreed, saying that cheerleading feels like home. “I felt like that for a real- ly long time. It’s something I’ve done since I was three. My brother is a football player, so it makes sense,” Olson said. “I think it’s important for everyone to be involved with every- thing. And make new friends and socialize with everyone. It’s good for our teachers and our staff. It brings people up and together. It’s a part of something. We talk as a team, we laugh as a team — we are a team.” Teamwork is what keeps sophomore Arrianna bround in the game. “I love how we’re already so bonded, we’re such good friends,” she said. “That’s what I look for- ward to in a team: a good bond. “And we definitely have that.” Get Results...List With Richard.
