Vikings nominated for sportsmanship award


Siuslaw High School athletics has picked up its second sportsmanship citation of the school year, the honor this winter going to the boys' basketball team.

Last fall, the Lady Vikings volleyball team was nominated for an Oregon School Activities Association sportsmanship award.

Wrote Kelly Foster, associated director of the OSAA:
