Siuslaw on track to win district, state titles
By Zeahna Young
Siuslaw News
On Friday (May 7), Siuslaw’s
track team traveled to Cottage
Grove for the Wally Ciochetti
Invitational meet. Out of the
nine teams that competed,
Siuslaw’s boys team came in sec-
ond place overall with 133
points, and the girls came in
fourth with 70 points. Both
teams are on track to have ath-
letes compete in this weekend’s
district finals, as well as next
week’s state finals.
On the boys’ side, the field
events went quite well.
“The pole vaulters had a great
day, Camp Lacouture and Kyle
Hughes specifically. We have
been working so hard, and the
pole vault is so technical; it takes
so much time to figure it all out,”
according to Athletic Director
and coach Chris Johnson.
“We've been battling every day
and we needed a day like Friday
where Camp jumped 13 feet,
which puts him on the top 10

On Friday (May 7), Siuslaw’s softball team
traveled to Marshfield for a doubleheader.
While the team continues to improve at the
plate and on defense, they were unable to de-
feat the Pirates, losing both games 14-5 and
12-2.
In game one, the Lady Viks started at the
plate aggressively and, after two quick outs,
Bailey Overton hit a double to get things go-
ing.
Liz Garcia-Galvan was then hit by a pitch
(HBP) to advance to first base, bringing Kya
Blake up to bat. Blake hit a single but made it
to second after an error by the Pirates, picking
up an RBI along the way by sending Overton
home to score. Marshfield then struck out the
Vikings’ final batter, Brynlee Manues, ending
their at-bat 1-0.
The Pirates set out to take control offen-
sively straightaway and, after having their
first batter walked, hit two doubles for RBIs.
The next batter was tagged out at first by
Blake from on an assist by Overton at short
stop — but not before landing another RBI for
the Pirates.
Marshfield then hit two more doubles for
RBIs and had a batter walk before the Viks’
next put out — which again came at first base,
this time from an assist pass by Meika Shap-

pell at third base.
The next two batters hit singles, the first
bringing in 2 RBIs, before the Pirates picked
up their final out at third base from Shappell,
ending the inning 1-6 in Marshfield’s favor.
In the top of the second inning, the Vikings
came out determined to swing, but were put
out quickly with a caught pop fly, a tag-out at
first and another strikeout for the Pirates.

list, number 10 all-time, and
Kyle jumped a 12-6.
“Our league is really loaded in
that event, so they're going to
probably have to either make
the top two or hit the automatic
qualifying mark, which is 13-4.
So, that's sort of on our radar

On Friday (May 7), Siuslaw’s
baseball team faced off against
the Marshfield Pirates away for
a doubleheader. Both games
were very close, but the Pirates
were able to come out ahead
in each match, with the final
scores at 4-9 and 5-7 in favor of
Marshfield.
Although they faced a 5-run
loss
in game one, the Vikings

for the Vikings on Friday. Elijah Blankenship was hit by a
pitch (HBP), but used it to his
advantage, stealing second base
as Jason Garcia took the plate.
Garcia hit a double, and on
the next play, Blankenship went
home for the Vikings’ first run
of the game. Two other bat-
ters were HBP that inning, but
between a strikeout and two
caught pop flies, the Pirates
came to the plate with the Vi-
kings in the lead, 1-0.
With Marshfield at bat, Isaac
Garza struck out their first bat-
ter, but then the Pirates followed

Winter steelhead fishing
continues to be slow on the
Siuslaw and is slowing down
for the season which closed
March 31. Trout fishing in
streams opens on May 22.
Hatchery fish are also planted
in Lake Creek and are
released into Green Creek.
These returning hatchery fish
will start to show up in
December and peak in
January and February. Lake
Creek closed to all fishing
March 31 and will open on
May 22 for trout fishing.
Winter steelhead fishing
continues to be slow on the
Alsea. The recent rain
improved the conditions and
the fishing picked up a bit.
Overall, it continues to be slow
and the run is winding down
for the year.

Hello Florence. I hope you all enjoyed the weekend and had a wonderful Mother’s Day.
Town was quite busy and I think that’s the way it will continue into a very busy summer.
On a real estate note, we had 18 new listings. 13 were residential and 5 were lots. Pending sales
in a weeks time were 26 of which 5 were lots. Solds for a week were 17 of which 5 were lots.
As you can see the pace is still brisk. Th ere is a shortage of listings and it is not just Florence, it’s
all over the US. If you need help buying or selling, come see me.
