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

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).

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

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.”
