Boy’s Soccer
The Siuslaw boys soccer team fell to Douglas Tuesday in Winston, 8-nothing. The Vikings began the match with just 10 players and at times were down to eight or nine as injuries and heat took their toll. Coaches say despite the score, the team continues to show improvement in individual skills and team play. Siuslaw will look to rebound against Illinois Valley and Sutherlin later this week.
