Mapleton / Siuslaw Football Co-op
Mapleton senior lineman Gabby Sweet is returning to Siuslaw Vikings football for his senior season as Mapleton and Siuslaw renew their football co-op for 2026. Sweet previously played for the Vikings as a freshman and sophomore before joining Mapleton’s six-man football team last fall. With no Sailors football program this season, Sweet is currently the only Mapleton player on the Vikings roster. Siuslaw opens the season August 28 at home against Coquille and begins defense of its 3A Special District 4 title October 4 against Douglas.
Lady Viks Finish Well
Two Siuslaw Lady Vikings earned top finishes at the Nike Outdoor Nationals and USATF U20 Championships at Hayward Field in Eugene. State champion Aidell Cadet placed 8th in the Emerging Elite high jump, clearing 5-feet, 3-inches, while Sophia Stymans finished 5th in the Freshman Shot Put with a personal-best throw of 36-feet, 9-and-a-half inches. Stymans’ mark moves her into the top 10 all-time in Siuslaw school history.
Baseball Weekend Results
The Florence Littlefoots Minors capped a perfect weekend by defeating Coquille 11-1 Sunday to win the 10-and-under championship at the Clash at the Coast tournament. Florence finished 5-0 and outscored opponents 60-18. The Littlefoot Majors and Rookies also reached their championship games but finished second, with Bandon winning the 12-and-under title and Umpqua Valley edging Florence in the 8-and-under final.
