Coast Radio to air 16 Vikings doubleheaders


Coast Radio will broadcast 16 Siuslaw Vikings boys and girls basketball doubleheaders this season, beginning with opening night Dec. 4 against visiting Newport.

Six nonleague and 10 Sky-Em League twin bills are part of the package, Coast Radio general manager Jon Thompson announced.

"We intend to stream most games on Facebook," Thompson said. "I have four broadcasters in a mix and match, including Randy Paredes, Wayne Sharpe, Bob Sneddon and new broadcaster Ryan Stahel."

Stahel served last season as an assistant coach for the Vikings'  boys team.
