They showed that they want to compete and that they weren’t satis- fied with hanging in there.” Eddyville didn’t wilt, and there was a tense back and forth, ending with Eddyville up by just 2 points to end the third period. “But in that third quar- ter we scored 16, more than we had all first half.” But it’s in the fourth when the Sailors exploded, getting 22 points to lock the win. “Twenty-two in a half is really good. Twenty-two in a quarter is amazing,” Wolgamott said. “That shows the type of offense we can become. The sec- ond half was probably our best half of the year. And Eddyville is a good team. They have some players and shooters.” Wolgamott had particu- lar praise for Wierichs, who led the team in points despite his foul troubles at the start. “He came back in with the understanding that he had no room for error,” Wolgamott said. “Already with three fouls, he had to play smart. And he showed me that is capable of that. He could handle the pres- sure, and he helped us calm things down on our end, while at the same time putting the pressure on the defense attack. We need a leader who can play with something on the line, whether it’s no more fouls or tough situations. He’s shown that throughout the year.” JJ Neece had 11 points, while Nate Neece had 11. “AJ Moso only had four points, but for what he did on the defensive end — he’s becoming a really smart player,” Wolgamott said. “Now we just have to work on shot selection, but he’s getting that too. He can be a very complete player, one of the best on the team once he gets it all FIRST WEIGH-IN JAN. 29TH (MANDATORY!) It’s BACK...

He’s becoming a really important part of this team.” Kody Wierichs made a key 3-pointer toward the end of the game that clinched the win. “That put the game away. I told him, he has to shoot when he’s open, don’t wait to take the shot. If you don’t shoot, it’s like missing every shot you take,” Wolgamott said. “You’ve got to make the defense at least know you’re a threat out there, and he did that when it counted.” Wolgamott also gave a shout out to Jesse Hughes, who stepped up in the first half of the game after Wierichs received a techni- cal. “He got a lot of rebounds and gave us the stopgap that we needed right there in the middle,” Wolgamott said. “He did a good job, he listened, and he gave 110 percent every time. He got in there and played some smart basketball.” After playing some of the best basketball all sea- son in the second half, Wolgamott said it’s time for the team to stretch that out throughout the whole game. “I told them, when you play that, you’re going to be a very tough team to beat when you’re able to do that for a full game,” he said. “I’m excited about what we’ll do next week. We’re 4-3 in league now, and we just have to take every game like it’s our last game. We have to go in with the mentality that we’re a good team and we do have a chance to win if we play our best. I’m excit- ed to see what we can do.” And the team will need to show that next week, as they travel to three differ- ent schools for matches, including Mapleton rival Triangle Lake. “Triangle Lake, it’s always tough at their place. It’s a rivalry. I told them to enjoy this victory this weekend, but come Monday, it’s all about T-Lake. We just need to take care of business.” Mapleton faces Triangle Lake on Tuesday, then Mohawk on Friday, both games starting at 7 p.m. They then travel to McKenzie on Saturday with tipoff at 4:30 p.m. Fishing ALSEA RIVER: Winter steelhead Winter steelhead fish- ing has been fair over the last few weeks. After the recent rainstorms anglers caught fish throughout the system, all the way up to the hatchery located on the NF Alsea. Dry conditions have slowed fishing again this last week but forecasted rainstorms should get fish moving throughout the system again and create better conditions for win- ter steelheading. When the river starts to drop back into shape there will be good opportunities for both boat and bank anglers. The NF Alsea offers good bank access for the bank angler. The Alsea River receives two different stocks of hatchery steel- head, one “traditional” stock that is an early returner and peaks in December/January and a later returning wild broodstock that peaks now through March. These two stocks combine to provide winter steel- head fishing opportuni- ties from late November through March. Trout fishing in streams will reopen on May 22, 2020. SALMON RIVER: Winter steelhead Winter steelhead fish- ing is open on the Salmon River. The majority of the winter steelhead on the Salmon River are wild and the run usually peaks around mid-December through February. SILETZ RIVER: Winter steelhead Winter steelhead fish- ing has been fair for the last few weeks on the Siletz River. from 1B back into shape next week. There will be good opportunities for boat and bank anglers around the popular Whitaker Creek area. Steelhead fishing has been slow so far this season but should pick up with forecasted rainstorms. SILTCOOS & TAHKENITCH LAKES: Coho Coho fishing closed Dec. 31 in Siltcoos and Tahkenitch lakes but both will be stocked with trout in February. Check the ODFW website online for stocking dates and loca- tions. TENMILE LAKES: Trout, warmwater species, largemouth bass bass anglers will need to slow down their presentation as the water temperatures continue to drop. Anglers are catching most of the bass along the deeper weed lines and submerged trees. Yellow perch are cruis- ing on the deep-water mud flats. Most of the fish are under 10-inches long but anglers are catching a few 12 inch-plus fish. Trout anglers continue to troll for trout. A few trout have been caught on bait by anglers targeting yellow perch. UMPQUA RIVER, SOUTH: Steelhead The mainstem South has reopened. Fishing usually picks up in January and there should be a few around in the lower sections. The river may be in decent shape with some rain in the forecast.
