“Lizbeth Garcia-Galvan, our
other senior, has stepped up
and has had some awesome
plays that I hope we can
build up later this season,
and junior Gracie Perkins
is going to be a fun one to
watch.”

“The girls have handled
it well so far and we are all
looking forward to having
them back on the court with
take the lead early in the
first quarter, with freshman
Makayla Freeman scoring
the Lady Viks’ first point
with 3:33 left after a techni-

the score to 23-1.

About a minute later,

score to 26-5.

er free throw point with 42

was 39-7 at the half.
Garcia-Galvan played ag-
gressively for the remain-
der of the game, going hard
to the basket for attempted
shots and going to the line
for free throws 4 more times
as a result. She picked up 2
points from a layup, as well
as 3 more rebounds and a
steal. Perkins picked up an-
other 2 rebounds for Siuslaw
in addition.

third quarter, junior Maisie

picked up a rebound for the
Lady Viks, and freshman
Ashley Hennessee had 2.
Freeman scored Siuslaw’s fi-
nal 2 points with 1:00 left in
the game, and the final score
was 43-15.
The girls fought hard
throughout, despite the dis-
advantage of missing four
players on their team.
According to Cole, “I be-
lieve that once we get these
girls to have a little more
confidence in themselves
that we will have a fun and
positive season looking
ahead, and having those girls
back on the court will hope-
fully boost their confidence.”
The Lady Viks’ next game,
which will be their first offi-
cial league game, is Tuesday
(May 25) at Marist starting at
7:15 p.m.
at their schools.
There is yet to be decided
the amount of compensation
these athletes will be re-ceiv-
ing. Some questions I have
are: Will all football players
be paid the same amount?
Will basketball men be paid
more than the women bas-
ketball players? Will the
money an athlete receives
from product endorsements
be subtracted from his pay
from the university? How
long until other non-reve-
nue sport athletes demand
to be paid? The face of colle-
giate sports changed during
COVID but it was a tempo-
rary change. The ruling in
June by the SCOTUS will be
a forever change.
As a sports fan, I will miss
the enthusiasm and joy ex-
hibited by athletes in mul-
tiple sports no longer being
offered. The thrill of victory
may just be agony after the
law is upheld. Those few
greedy athletes and their
universities will deprive
thousands of athletes their
opportunity to participate
beyond high school.
