Lady Vikings vanquish visiting Elmira, 56-51


The Siuslaw Vikings girls basketball team gave themselves a much-deserved early Valentine on Tuesday in their final home game of the season.

The Lady Vikings defeated the Elmira Falcons, 56-51, on senior recognition night at Glenn Butler Court.

Siuslaw seniors Hailee Edgerly, Madison Reynolds, Alyssa Richards and Lillian Wenham were honored in a short pregame ceremony that included family members.

Siuslaw, 5-18 overall, is no 1-8 in league with only a Valentine's Day meeting at Junction City left on the schedule.

In other league games Tuesday, No. 1-ranked Marshfield beat Marist in Eugene, 48-38, and Cottage Grove hosted Junction City.
