Two State Champion hurdlers are Coast Radio Sports’ Athletes of the year: senior Joseph Dotson and junior Mikaela Siegel; both from Siuslaw High School
Dotson was a standout football and basketball player for the Vikings. He also competed at this year’s Summit Decathlon in Bend where he finished in fourth place with 6034 points. Dotson claimed the state championship in the 300-meter hurdles at the 4A meet two weeks ago.
Siegel was also a multi-sport athlete for Siuslaw. She finished fourth individually at the Far West District Cross County Meet in the fall; was named the most valuable player on the Lady Viking basketball team; finished fifth at the Summit Heptathlon; and won the state 4A championship in the 100 meter hurdles.
Scott Heineman hit a two-run double and Shaun Chase a two-run homer in Oregon’s four-run first inning as the Ducks cruised to a 12-6 victory over Canisius in an elimination game Saturday at the Springfield Regional. On Sunday Daniel Moriel broke a tie with a two-out single in the top of the 11th after a balk moved the eventual winning run to second base, and Iowa beat Oregon 2-1 in an NCAA regional elimination game.
Sean Stutzman struck out a career-high seven and Justin Wall had a two-run home run to lead Dallas Baptist past Oregon State 7-1 on Sunday. Dallas Baptist, the No. 1 seed in the Dallas regional, won two elimination games Sunday. The Patriots beat Texas earlier in the day, while Oregon State lost to VCU hours before it was eliminated by Dallas Baptist. The Patriots face VCU today with a spot in the Super Regionals on the line.
