Six Vikings still in hunt for berths at state


Six Siuslaw Vikings are one win away from a state berth in the Oregon School Activities Association state wrestling championships.

Brady Libby (120 pounds), Elijah LaCosse (126), Ryan Jennings (152), Hector Garcia (160), Riley Jennings (170) and Matthew Horrillo (220) need a victory Saturday in the consolation semifinals of the district championships at Junction City.

Libby, LaCosse, Horrillo and the Jennings brothers each lost in the championship semifinals Friday to drop into the consolation semifinals.

Garcia won three consecutive matches in consolation by pin, forfeit and decision to make the semifinals.

Consolation semifinals and finals (for third and fourth place) are Saturday.

The top four wrestlers in each weight class advance to the state championships Feb. 22-23 in Portland.
