Local Sports – Viking Volleyball atop Far West; Siuslaw FB tops poll

Taking a look at Coast Radio Sports…

Lona Dengler had nine kills and the Siuslaw Vikings maintained their one match lead in the Far West Volleyball race with an easy three game win over the Brookings-Harbor Bruins last night in Florence.  Siuslaw came out on top 25-6; 25-8; 25-8.  In other league matchups, Sutherlin beat North Bend 3-1; South Umpqua upset Douglas in 3-2.

The Reedsport Braves were at home last night where they eased past the Bandon Tigers in three games.  Mapleton picked up a road win with a three-game victory over the Mohawk Indians, winning 25-18, 25-7, 25-12.

The Siuslaw Vikings were the unanimous choice of AP Sportswriters again this week as the number one 4A football team in the state.  The 6-and-oh Vikings are the only undefeated 4A team.  For the first time this season there are no changes in the ranking… Gladstone is #2 followed by La Salle, Philomath, Baker, Cottage Grove, Cascade, North Valley, North Bend and Scappoose.  The Vikings will host Brookings-Harbor for homecoming Friday night at Hans Peterson Field.
