Viking Win
Micah Blankenship intercepted a Sutherlin pass at the goal line midway through the first quarter Friday night. That set up a brief drive that ended in a 49 yard touchdown pass from Blankenship to tight end Ryan Klampe to give the Vikings an early 6-nothing lead over the bulldogs. Siuslaw led 30-0 at the half and didn’t look back. Sutherlin did manage to score twice in the final half but the outcome was never in question. Michael Felkins caught two TD passes, the first for 19 yards, the second for 17 yards.
The win kept Siuslaw #1 in the OSAA rankings and undefeated on the season with six wins. The Viks make the drive to Curry County Friday night where they’ll face the 2-5 Brookings-Harbor Bruins.
