I almost drove up there. I couldn’t find the live stream, so I was continually pressing refresh on my com- puter, waiting for the score to pop up.” Perry had a group text going with the team, giving updates, pressing refresh over and over again. And then, around 7:30 p.m., it happened — the score was posted. Newport had fallen, 50-60. AT OGA JUNIOR TOURNEY Florence resident Ryan Klampe played in a OGA Junior Golf Tournament this past week at Tualaltin Country Club. There were 15 youth golfers in the 12- to 13-year- old age group, where Klampe placed third overall.

You lose, you’re done.” There are six leagues in the state for 4A, with each one of those divisions receiving two automatic berths into the state tourna- ment for a total of 12 teams. The next eight highest rank- ing teams from any division then get an opportunity to play in four “play-in” games. “The top-ranked team left from all the other leagues is Woodburn, they’re number one,” Perry said on Wednesday. “And we got that eighth spot as the No. 20 team, so we’ll be traveling to Woodburn to play them.” “Then it took a few extra minutes to recalculate the rankings and it showed us at number 20. That was super exciting,” Perry said. The group text blew up with excitement, but Perry knew things could change. “They weren’t going to freeze the rankings until 10 p.m. when all the other games were done, so we still had to wait so we could be sure,” Perry said. “There were some kids staying up late watching it as well. I told everybody to go to bed and we’ll figure out when it happens.” Then a little after 11 p.m., the rankings froze — and the Vikings were in. Though technically not a “playoff ” game but rather a “play-in” game, to Perry it After the play-in games, there will be re-bracketing, with the 16 remining teams officially advancing into the official state playoffs. As for last night’s game against Woodburn (after press deadlines), the Vikings went in knowing they were the underdog. “I know that they dropped down from 5A last year,” Perry said. “They’re a big 4A school, and we’re one of the two smallest 4A schools — so they’ve got more kids. Their team made it pretty deep in the state playoffs last year, and they lost some good guys. But they have other guys that have some playoff experi- ence.” And the league Woodburn competes in is also among the 4A’s tough- est. While Woodburn had lost the last two games, it was against top ranked Cascade and Philomath. “We’re just happy to have the opportunity,” said Perry. The last time Perry coached a state playoff was in 2017, when the Vikings placed second in the Far West League, losing the playoff to — ironically — Newport. As for making the play- offs, Perry was proud. “I’m super excited for them to get the opportunity. A playoff game in high school is not something that a lot of kids get to do. For them to do it after a long, back-and-forth season of highs and lows, it’s pretty awesome for them.” WEEK #4 WINNERS TOP 5 Women PATRICIA TIMOTHY 2.05% GUADALUPE GALVAN 2.02% MARGARET FREE1.46% CASSANDRA BURNS 1.41% LINDA CROWELL0.93% MACK WADE 1.76% DUSTIN WILLIAMS 1.72% MATT DANIELSSON 1.18% FRANKLIN SPENCER 1.12% TOP 5 Men Contestant Name Weekly % Lost Season %Lost WOMEN’S RESULTS Patricia Ann Timothy Guadalupe Galvan Margaret Free Cassandra Burns Linda Crowell Angie Burns Kelty Tobinson Debbie Haring Sharon Dutton Kelly Moore Debra Kaiser Betty Scarbrough Siobhan Devaney Linda Harklerode Sonia Muños Jo Beaudreau 2.05% 2.02% 1.46% 1.41% 0.93% 0.87% 0.83% 0.72% 0.71% 0.63% 0.50% 0.48% 0.40% 0.29% 0.25% 0.20% OVER 5.97% 8.63% 3.00% 0.23% 6.25% 9.38% 1.66% 6.86% 6.86% 5.60% 6.26% 4.72% 3.69% 2.03% 1.10% 1.31% Charlotte Lawrence Vickie Hunt Vida Hanks Ava Analco Cassandra Souther Samantha Milbrett Jamie Wilby Lori Coffindaffer Chelsea Anttila Robyn Barrett Alyssa Cargill Tyrah Forbes Gina Halpin Mika Hutchinson Sue Lindelof Dahawal Moghe Nancy Robinson Sherri Mackey Katherine Hemmens Sharon Osborn $1,000 IN PRIZES & GIFTS 14-WEEK CONTEST February 1 – May 9, 2020 •Weigh in each week at Coastal Fitness & Aquatics •2285 Hwy. 101, Florence, each Wednesday, 7:30a.m.-9:00a.m. -or- 4:30p.m.-6:00p.m. •Weekly leaders in each category (male & female) will be pictured in the Saturday edition of the Siuslaw News. •Look Good - Feel Good!
