The crowds showed up in force Tuesday night as the Viks started their first set with a commanding perfor- mance, handily winning the set 25-12 to sounds of “boom” from the crowd whenever senior Mia Collins made a kill — 16 overall for the night. But the energy waned in the second set, as the Falcon’s focused on tipping the ball rather than swinging. Still, Siuslaw was able to hold on for a 25-19 win. By set three, the Viks had figured out its defense, beginning with a serve streak that knocked the wind out of the Falcons, who were unable to recover. Siuslaw easily took the third set 25-11, securing the match win. Standouts from the game included Elissa Hurley with 6 kills and Kya Blake, who served up five aces against Elmira Siuslaw’s fortune changed while on the road later in the week at Junction City on Thursday night.

I wasn’t used to using my feet for sports.” So, Hernandez turned to sports like basket- ball and football. But in his hometown of Palo Alto, Calif., those were the unpopular sports. “Most of the kids there played soccer. It was next to Stanford campus,” which had become a soccer haven ever since the school hosted the World Cup in 1994. “Everyone was playing,” Hernandez said. “There were always teams that got a lot of fund- ing. It was popular all the time. There was a bunch of schools practicing, a bunch of soccer Freshman Dezmond Anderson brings the ball down for Siuslaw. See SOCCER 3B Cornhole is a game played more and more in the back- yards of America. I was in-tro- duced to the game about fi ve years ago by my son Brandon. We were having a barbeque in his backyard and out came two wooden platforms and eight bean bags. Th e game is similar to horseshoes — but safer. Th e object is to throw the bean bags into a hole of an an- gled landing board, with play- ers alternating throws. A bean bag going into the hole scores three points. Your opponent has an opportunity to cancel your points by also throwing a bag through the hole. Bags landing on the board count one point but can also be can-celled by opponents landing on the board. Th e games can be played to any score you agree to be- fore players begin; typically, the games goes to 21 points. How popular is the game of cornhole?

SIUSLAW RIVER: Fall Chinook, cutthroat trout Fall Chinook fishing con- tinues to be fair to good on the Siuslaw. Last week’s rain pushed some fish up into the river but there are still plenty of fish around in the estuary. Anglers are catching fish on each tide and it should con- tinue to improve as we head into October. The beginning of September through the month of October are typical- ly the best times to catch a Siuslaw River Chinook. Due to low forecasted fall Chinook returns, this year’s daily bag limit has been reduced to 1 wild Chinook per day and 5 per year for the See FISHING 2B C APE P ERPETUA REOPENS W EST S HELTER , V ISITOR C ENTER TO CLOSE O CT . 10 The West Shelter at Cape Perpetua and the surrounding section of the Whispering Spruce Trail has reopened fol- lowing restoration work com- pleted by HistoriCorps in part- nership with the Siuslaw & SHEET METAL, INC. “Your Local Independent Trane Dealer” Florence’s Oldest & Largest Heating Contractor National Forest.
