Destinie Tatum hopes to build on a breakout junior season when the Siuslaw Vikings open practice Monday, Nov. 14, under second-year coach Clint Tatum.

Destinie Tatum led the Vikings in scoring, rebounding and assists last season, and was named the team's most valuable player. She also played in the postseason South Coast All-Star Game.

Clint Tatum lost two starters to graduation in Sierra Potter and Taylor Dotson, but welcomes back seniors Nikki Launius, Claire Waggoner, Abby Watkins and his daughter, Destinie.

The Vikings were 5-17 overall and 1-9 in the Far West League last season.

Siuslaw opens its season with three nonleague home games, Creswell on Nov. 30, Elmira on Dec. 2 and Newport on Dec. 6.

First league game is Jan. 13 at home against South Umpqua.
