Vikings First Outing Tough!
Friday evening the Siuslaw Vikings had a tough first outing against the visiting Elmira Team. It was a very vocal opening season crowd, but an early 60 yard touchdown run for junior Elmira running back Brady Nagel set the tone for the game. Despite good efforts from several Viking players, including Senior Trent Reavis who played ironman ball, they couldn’t get a rhythm against the Falcons. Elmira blanked Siuslaw 50 to Nothing.
