Athlete of the Week
The Sports Club, the Siuslaw News and Coast Radio Sports congratulate senior defensive back Hunter Petterson as this week’s athlete of the week. Hunter, in addition to two interceptions, had a 97 yard opposite field rundown to thwart a Newport Cub touchdown, igniting the defense to stop the Cubs on downs returning the ball to the Vikings in Siuslaw’s 44-7 victory.
Honorable mention goes to Landon Curley. Soccer Coach Londi Tomaro says while Landon is normally an attacking player in their first two games he shut down attacking players allowing very few shots on goal. His dominant play was instrumental in their win and tie.
