ESports Champions
Siuslaw High School’s esports team made history last Saturday, winning the OSAA-partnered PlayFly Esports State Championship in Mario Kart 8. The four-member squad, led by Coach Patrick Looney, went undefeated this season and clinched the title with a 3–1 victory over Sherwood High School at the University of Oregon. Captain Husky Scribner, along with Ethan Spencer, Mandy Condi, and Holden Kurth, powered the Vikings to the school’s first esports state title. The program, founded in 2020, also competes in Super Smash Bros. and Rocket League, blending competition with STEM-focused career skills.

Canon Reeder’s two-run homer in the second was all No. 7 Oregon State needed Thursday night, as the Beavers edged Long Beach State 2-1 at Goss Stadium.

No. 5 Oregon opened its series at Iowa with a dominant 10-0 shutout in seven innings Thursday night. Grayson Grinsell struck out eight and allowed just two hits, improving to 7-1 in Big Ten play with a 1.36 ERA.
